Title: Lost access to Web GUI
Post by: 3dge14 on March 14, 2011, 10:16:12 pm

Running Zentyal 2.0.16 (as of 3/11/11)

I came in Monday and I have no access to the Zentyal through the https web interface. I can only access the machine through a remote terminal. I have the server scheduled to automatically update at 20:39, could an automatic update Sat or Sun night have caused the apache module to crash?

I've tried restarting the apache module manually and checked /var/log/ebox/ebox.log and error.log to no avail. The server is used for file sharing and authenticating (these services are also still working) and I have 50+ users connecting to the shared drives.

Thanks

Have you tested if all modules are running?

Code: [Select]

sudo /etc/init.d/ebox module statusWhere module is an ebox module name.
To get a list of installed modules, replace module by an unexistent module name and you get an error and a list of valide modules names.
Test one by one and restart any stopped module:

Code: [Select]

sudo /etc/init.d/ebox module restart

Thanks so much for the reply. The issue has been solved by a simple (nervous) reboot. Sorry to have wasted anyone's time. You see i had several users connected so I had to wait for after-hours.

I didn't know about that command to check the status of the modules, that was helpful. I did try to restart the apache module and it would hang in the terminal but its all back now.

Thanks again

Hi,

Me too, having the same problem at my Zentyal.
What I resolved this problem is to create a con job.
My con job will restart the events and logs module every morning at 7.30am.

So far everything work fine.
