[cobalt-users] FYI: RAQ3 and ASP: ASP Servers Down? How to restart

[Bill M <bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Installed ASP by Chili!Soft on Thursday using their .pkg file for the
RaQ.  Loaded up some .asp pages and they worked fine.  <Sure was a
pretty site on a Linux box>  Woke up Friday morning and the .asp pages I
had uploaded would not resolve-- Just kept spinning away.  I tried some
.html pages, and they loaded fine.  RaQ was up and functioning so I went
to the ASP server admin interface which is on port 5100.  Login is quite
simple, however once logged in, I got an error;  

ERROR 501:  ASP server disabled

What the .....?  I tried to reload it using the interface but the Admin
Interface for the ASP would not work... kept getting the error above. 
Anyway, didn't find out the reason for the ASP server going down, but I
did find out how to get it back up using a Root Telnet Session.  It
involves restarting the ASP server and the ASP Admin server. Details
Below.

-------------------------
The following instructions depend on your 'install directory'.
I found our install directory by running a 'locate' command on
the world 'chili' in a telnet session.  Ex.  locate chili

---- RESTARTING ASP SERVER MANUALLY ------
To restart the ASP server manually from a root telnet
session, do the following;

CD to the install directory;

    cd /home/chiliasp/asp-apache-3000/

Now, command the following;

   ./caspctrl -startall

You should see the following;

caspd: daemon started, version 3.5.01.38
caspd: multi-threaded configuration, 5 thread(s)
caspctrl: starting engines on machine 127.0.8.0
caspctrl: all engines started successfully.


--------- RESTARTING ADMIN SERVER ---------

Root to the server and cd to the following directory

   cd /home/chiliasp

Now run the following command;

   ./admtool

This will bring up the admin screen with 7 options
Choose option 1 and follow the instructions.

1. Start admin server.
2. Stop admin server.
3. Admin server status.
4. Add a user.
5. Remove a user.
6. List users.
7. Quit.

---- STOPPING ASP (FYI) ---------------

CD to the install directory;

     cd /home/chiliasp/asp-apache-3000/

Command the following;

    ./caspctrl -stopall

You should see the following;

caspd: daemon stopping...
caspd: all engines stopped.
