Installation and Upgrades / Proofreading
« on: April 29, 2010, 09:59:23 pm »
Hello,
I'd like to contribute to the improvement of the English used on the site and the platform - it must be difficult to translate it into other languages otherwise. Obviously some of the English has been translated from Spanish.
Noticed this evening the following on the platform:
"There is no information about the backuped files yet" under Backup->Configuration and Status.
It should read something like: "There is as yet no information about the backed up files" (the Americans would put in a hyphen as in "backed-up").
It's a shame for such a professional product. Checking copy is imperative in all multi-nationals, to protect their image.
Kind regards

Is it possible that there was something changed/deleted/added on the ssl side (certificate perhaps?), when I changed the port for ebox administration? This would explain the web page error.
How should I delete the existing ssl certificate(s) and make new ones, if this is the case?
Kind regards

Hello jjm (sorry for the extra "m" last time!),
I have added your lines (without sudo) to open the two tor ports, restarted the firewall for good measure - no change.... nmap 127.0.0.1 doesn't show them at all.
I even added eth0 and eth1 to check if it was working with the wrong NIC.
Kind regards

Hello jjmm,
I installed tor today - no chance that this is causing the problem. Doing some reseach on the ssl problem, it could be that there is another web server trying to answer port 443. I have ruby on rails installed. Nginx was on the machine, but I removed that and purged it too, so it can't be that.
Kind regards

Hello jjm,
Thanks for the reply. I will try your advice out later for firewall.postservice.
The server will not be used for connecting to the Internet using tor - only as a relay or bridge. At present, I do not use a proxy server. Do you have any advice here too please?
Kind regards

Hello jjm!
Thanks very much for your input, but the code hasn't opened the ports. I am not an expert with iptables, but I did think that ebox would anyway overwrite them on re-start. That is why I could do with the admin!
The ports I need to open are to allow external connections into the eBox. Is the iptable code the same for those? It is for tor, so I also need to allow connections coming through those ports to open connections outwards as well.
Hope you can help here!
Kind regards
p.s. nmap shows 8443/tcp open https-alt, 443/tcp open https, but I still get this security certificate error...

Hello
Bump.
Really looking for an answer to this now - it has been a month now. I would like to open 2 ports in the firewall, but cannot as there is no access to the admin. I have looked in the /ebox/80firewall.conf, but there is nowhere to add the ports there.
Is there a file I can edit to add the ports in the ebox firewall please?
Kind regards

Hello,
OK, I am now a little further. The following error is shown by FireFox IF I add Listen 443 to ports.conf (otherwise, just a "cannot connect page"):
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to website.com.
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
* The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
* Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
Does that help? Presumably apache is doing the same job twice.
Kind regards

Hello,
did dpkg-reconfigure ebox again - changed the port back to 443. No difference, but as I wrote, apache has in the meantime refused to accept http requests at port 80 and Squirrelmail too, so it's not surprising really.
I am at a loss.
In the case that you too are at a loss, would you please let me know if I can install another web server by the side of apache without making a mess of eBox, or if I can replace apache with gninx, and if so, could you please let me have any removal code for apache under eBox to do this?
Kind regards and Prospero Nuevo Ano!

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Customize the interface
« on: December 30, 2009, 03:11:52 pm »
Hello,
Thanks for the reply. Did that on the 13th December (see post). Before I try it again, do you think that I should try to re-set it at 443? The problem, I think, is that I set up another service called "https" using port 443. As I don't have an interface, I cannot remove that service, as I am not sure where it is stored in the configuration.
Kind regards

Over 2 weeks now and no admin...
Here is a result of a nmap probe:
Not shown: 990 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp filtered ftp
22/tcp open ssh
25/tcp open smtp
110/tcp open pop3
143/tcp open imap
2323/tcp open unknown
5222/tcp open unknown
5903/tcp filtered vnc-3
5904/tcp filtered unknown
8080/tcp filtered http-proxy
So, what is apache doing?
Could you please tell me whether I could install say nginx as well as apache, and try to take over the serving of the http ports? Even better, remove apache, if we can't find the reason?
Kind regards

Hello Javier,
Don't know if you are working over the holiday period - perdona las molestias!
Do you think it would be better to reinstall apache by apt-get or eBox, or install another web server in its place? I am not in the same place as the server, but contact with ssh has been no problem.
Kind regards
