[SOLVED]No access to usercorner in Zentyal 2.2

[robb]

I just installed usercorner module in Zentyal 2.2 to be able to change passwords by the users themselves. However, when I try to open the usercornerpage at https://<domain>:8888 I get the following message:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

In the dashboard userscorner shows as not started:


however, I did start usercorner pressing the button. Afterwards I received configmation that the service was restarted successfully. I also (re)started the service through SSH (/etc/init.d/zentyal usercorner (re)start

When checking from commandline I see the following:

root@vps1075:~# /etc/init.d/zentyal usercorner status
EBox: status module usercorner:         [ STOPPED ]
root@vps1075:~# /etc/init.d/zentyal usercorner start
 * Restarting Zentyal module: usercorner                                 [ OK ]
root@vps1075:~# /etc/init.d/zentyal usercorner status
EBox: status module usercorner:         [ STOPPED ]

Even after starting the service is still stopped:
I added usercorner error and access logs.

Any ideas where to look further?

/edit: I did allow usercorner in firewall settings

any conflict because another process locks same network port?

** edit **: sorry I didn't noticed you attached logs

[robb]

usercorner is running on standard port: 8888
As far as I know there is no other service that uses that port on a Zentyal server.

Robb,
Check this post for a possible solution   http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,10114.msg42372.html#msg42372

ebox-usercorner has /var/lib/ebox-usercorner as a homedir:

/var/lib# awk -F: -v v="ebox-usercorner" '{if ($1==v) print $6}' /etc/passwd

response:
/var/lib/ebox-usercorner/

rights on ebox-usercorner:

drwxr-xr-x  5 ebox-usercorner ebox-usercorner 4096 2012-05-21 15:13 zentyal-usercorner

looks ok? any other suggestions?

It should be zentyal-usercorner not ebox-usercorner  look closer.   Edit /etc/passwd so that ebox-usercorner  has a home directory of /var/lib/zentyal-usercorner  and Bob's your uncle it will work.

That did the trick...

* robb slaps himself not noticing the difference between ebox-usercorner and zentyal-usercorner 

for the non techies:
- open a terminal console
- type: 'sudo nano /etc/passwd' (without quotes)
find the line 'ebox-usercorner:x:xxx:xxx::/var/lib/ebox-usercorner/:/bin/false'

change that line in: 'ebox-usercorner:x:xxx:xxx::/var/lib/zentyal-usercorner/:/bin/false'
to save the file: 'ctrl o' (hit control o at the same time)
to exit nano editor: 'ctrl w' (hit control and w at the same time)

restart zentyal usercorner module:
'sudo /etc/init.d/zentyal usercorner restart' and hit return (and Bob's your uncle... )

after that you can enter the usercorner by going to https://<address of zentyal>:8888
port 8888 is the default port. If you have ever changed that use the changed port number.
