SOLVED: No dashboard access after installing transmission

[messing]

After I installed "transmission" I rebooted the amahi 8 server (fedora 21).
After that I was not able to reach the dashboard from my browsers (different devices).

Shares are there and I can log in the hda with ssh, but no dashboard (I use the IP-Number in my browser)

Any Idea?

Recommend you check /var/log/amahi-app-installer.log for errors.

If you can access dashboard via IP address then this is a DNS issue. Check that your HDA is the DHCP and DNS server for your network.

[messing]

Yes, I know about the DNS issue. That is why I use the IP adress in browser.
But the dashboard is not reachable.

Here is the part from the mentioned log:

======= app install begin @ 2015-11-08 17:08:20 +0100 ==========
Installing app id csjnit42fq under /var/hda/platform/html/script/.. ENV=production
Your HDA services have been restarted.
Your HDA services have been restarted.

Enabling amahi-transmission service
Starting amahi-transmission (via systemctl): [ OK ]
App: Transmission installed
======= app install end @ 2015-11-08 17:08:30 +0100 ==========

Seems there is no error.
Can I restart the dashboard manualy? (I rebooted serveral times)

[messing]

I'm not sure if the missing dashboard has to do with transmission at all but that was the last thing I've done before.

I found something interessting in /var/log/monit.log:

This is repeating constantly.
Perhaps this helps to find the error!?

Post the results of:

Code: Select all

systemctl status httpd.service

Looks like the web server is not running.
Also try this:

Code: Select all

systemctl restart httpd.service

[messing]

systemctl status httpd.service shows this:

And systemctl restart httpd.service;

There's the issue.

Do you have the web app CUPS installed? If not, recommend you remove the conf file from /etc/httpd/conf.d directory. Once you have done that, restart httpd.

[messing]

I renamed /etc/httpd/conf.d/1003-cups.conf file to 1003-cups.conx
After that I was able to log into the dashboard again.

But I installed cups because I connected a printer to my hda
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6243

I guess the renaming of the cups config file will make trouble with my printer now!? What do I have to do now?

[bigfoot65]

/var/hda/web-apps/cups/logs/

This is the issue with the CUPS conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d.

What you need to do is check that /var/hda/web-apps/cups/logs exists and is owned by apache:users. Once you do that, you can rename the file back to 1003-cups.conf. Then restart httpd and it should be ok.

Another option is to remove the line with /var/hda/web-apps/cups/logs from 1003-cups.conf. Then restart httpd.

I have done this and edited the cups wiki page as well.

Thanks for your help.
