Amahi Forums

I rebooted my server (after running it uninterrupted without any problems) for the first time in 50+ days.

I'm somewhat surprised b/c I've done this before: When I first installed Amahi back in early November, I rebooted the thing and logged into it several times without much difficulty. Just testing it back then. The last reboot was on November 3, when I shut everything down to physically move my server from one room to its final working location, connecting it to another cable. No problem doing it then, which makes the current situation somewhat surprising.

Here's what I know:

1) My control panel shows my server is running. Green status: "running"

2) My DLNA works. I can access video files on the standard shares via my TV

3) I've turned off and turned back on again my router (Apple Time Machine)

4) I can log into my server via terminal with remote laptops navigate around the various subdirectories, etc.

(5) I can connect, via my Mac's Finder Window, and see my shares. I can click on video files and watch them, etc.

(6) However, I cannot connect via web browser (and via "curl" command) to my hda dashboard -- i.e., to "http://hda/" Safari tells me it cant connect to the server. Similarly, I can't connect to my mediawiki.

(7) My hda has always been located on 10.0.1.10. SInce the beginning (early November), I've always had my DNS setting point to that address on my Time Machine's network settings. That was based on some Amahi forum advice I read in one of the Amahi forums regarding how to handle the idiosyncratic Apple-type routers . Based on that advice I was able to be succesful by not touching DHCP settings, but instead just pointing DNS to the right place. In trying to solve today's problem, I've tried pointing and "un-pointing" DNS to 10.0.1.10, but not helping.

8) Here's some network trouble shooting results: (basically, pinging hda, router, etc. All succeeded except for "curl hda"

ssh pkad@hda

9) Here is an arp command from my local laptop (no SSH into the server here) which is connected via wifi
picklebarrel$ arp -a

10) Here is the nslookup command from the same local laptop (again, no SSH into the server here):
picklebarrel$ nslookup hda
Server: 10.0.1.10
Address: 10.0.1.10#53

Name: hda
Address: 10.0.1.10

11) Oddly enough, surprised actually, when I ssh into the server I get an "command not found" error for "nslookup hda":
[pkad@localhost ~]$ nslookup hda
-bash: nslookup: command not found

I'd greatly appreciate any advice. Have been at in now for the last few hours. Running out of ideas. I've tried following the various troubleshooting steps related to install, but not able to reconnect to my HDA dashboard, mediawiki, etc.

Thanks !

Check out this bug to see if it applies.
https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1231

Check the httpd log file for errors as well.

Thanks. I'm reading thru that bug link now. However, I also ran the following and evidently, there are some errors. Not sure at present if this helps, but here it is:

Yes that is the error the bug addresses. If you do the update to the file specified and restart httpd, it should clear it up.

All is well. I was reading that post from last week when you sent me the corresponding bug link. Thank you very much. I've been wresting with this since 630 EST ! Specifically I ran the online yum command posted there, and just rebooted my clients. How do I restart httpd ?

No problem. to restart httpd, do this as root user: The second command should show it as running if all went well.

Thanks again.

No problem. Glad all is back to normal.

Thanks very much again.

I just notice an database search issue with my Mediawiki, which I'm fairly certain was precipitated by this now-resolved server access issue, but whose discussion and solution is better placed in the Applications Fora, here:

viewtopic.php?f=26&t=5084

You might wanna check the MediaWiki forums. Sounds like an issue with their software possibly. Also ensure all files in the mediawiki directory are owned by apache:users. That can cause issues if they are not.
