Other modules / WAN Failover Setup
« Last post by jaywll on January 10, 2024, 06:26:14 pm »Hello, community.
I have my Zentyal server set up as the primary gateway on my network and it has two WAN connections: one primary and one backup. The primary WAN is fast and unlimited, the backup WAN is slow and incurs usage charges. As you might imagine, I don't want the backup WAN to be used at all unless the primary WAN connection fails. I'm having trouble getting Zentyal set up this way.
Currently under Gateways I once for each WAN. Both are enabled, the primary WAN is marked as default and the backup WAN is not. The primary gateway has a weighting of 1 and the backup has a weighting of 15, although my understanding would be that those weightings are irrelevant unless I'm trying to do Traffic Balancing, which I don't think I am. As such, I have nothing set under Traffic Balancing, and under WAN Failover I have rules that test the primary gateway and disable it if it can't reach the outside world.
WAN failover is working in the sense that the primary gateway does indeed end up in a disabled state if there's no connectivity, at which point all traffic is routed through the backup gateway.
The problem is that even when the primary gateway/WAN is working, some traffic flows through the backup WAN. Based on the stats I see I believe Zentyal is balancing my traffic based on the weightings I have set, even though traffic balancing is not configured.
What do I need to change in order to get 100% of my traffic to flow through the primary gateway and only use the backup gateway if the primary one is disabled as a result of my failover tests.
Thanks!

German / Re: Login in die Domäne plötzlich nicht mehr möglich, betrifft aber nur einen Client
« Last post by Thomas Hoffmann on December 19, 2023, 06:17:48 pm »Hallo Zorus,
bei Windows 10 in Verbindung mit LDAP (bei uns Univention) konnte ich feststellen, das nach Windows Updates, Drucker veschwunden waren, Netzlaufwerke weg waren und und und ...
Auch kam das Problem, das die User sich nicht mehr an der Domäne anmelden konnten. Wir haben diesen Fehler dann nur beheben können, indem wir den Rechner aus der Domäne zu entfernen und wieder aufzunehmen. Nach der Aufnahme in eine Workgroup, haben wir aber keinen "Neustart" durchgeführt, nur das Fenster geschlossen, wieder geöffnet und den Rechner dann in die Domäne aufgenommen, danach dann einen Neustart.
Vielleicht hilft es ja.
Gruss
Thomas

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal 8
« Last post by foeke on December 11, 2023, 11:39:37 am »I think I am spoiled with the ClearOS I was used to. I never experienced so many rough patches.
When I install by just going next next next you get everything on a 100Gb part of the LVM. Easy to resolve, but it makes no sense.
I ran into the issue that it doesn't support PPPoE with a fixed IP (https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,35644.0.html) I now know it should work since under plain Ubuntu it works like I expected. I just don't know what happens if I mess with settings in the OS that do not align with the webinterface.
When making changes with the VLAN's (in the end I just gave up) and then going back to plain ethernet, you'll get all kind of issues, because Zentyal doesn't remove the VLAN settings, it just removes it from the interface.
Everything looks right, but things like DHCP/DNS/SAMBA just give up and won't start anymore.
And I am pretty sure there is a bug in the user/user rights.
If you make a user and then configure the rights, it probably works just fine. When you add 10 users and configure the rights, and then save. It becomes a lottery.
The webinterface tells everything is correct. But getting the client connected to the shares is a different thing. Completely random. like 3 of the 10 won't be able to connect to some share, sometimes even the personal one.
Luckily when you switch the Acces control from "read/write" to "administrator" or "read-only", save. Then switch it back and save again. Everything is works as expected.
I really believe Zentyal should use Beta testers.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal 8
« Last post by Luke on December 11, 2023, 11:05:56 am »Hi Luke,
What is the current status with 8.0?
If I understand correctly, Zentyal does not do Beta testing by users. But if you can use it, I'd be happy to make myself available.
7.1 had quite a few nonsensical settings that a beta tester had removed (for example, why on earth would you only free up 100Gb on your LVM).
Yea they made a post on Facebook what version people are using. And according from Zentyal the 8.0 is planned in Feb. I think 7.1 are working well ?

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Lost connectivity to router and the internet
« Last post by turalyon on December 04, 2023, 11:02:03 am »Sometimes, when the network module is restarted by other dependencies, the content of /etc/resolv.conf is lost, and it requires the network to restart by hand.
Also, what modules are you using? Can you ping anything? For instance:
- Ping to your router.
- Ping to a public address (8.8.8.
- Ping a public domain (google.com)
Finally, you must analyze the network configuration (IP, gateway and DNS), whether the module is enabled or not, the rules from the firewall, if you have the IDS module, you might stop it temporarily, analyze the main log files:
- /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log
- /var/log/syslog

Installation and Upgrades / Re: i cant login on Web Interface -
« Last post by turalyon on December 04, 2023, 10:53:40 am »You must debug the issue by analyzing the following log files:
- /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log
- /var/log/syslog
- /var/log/auth.log
- /var/log/zentyal/access.log
- /var/log/zentyal/error.log
- /var/log/nginx/error.log
Also, I recommend you to enable the debug module as follows:
1. Edit the parameter debug in the log file /etc/zentyal/zentyal.conf
2. Restart the webadmin module to apply the changes.
Finally, did you confirm that the services that manage the webadmin are running?
