[cobalt-users] Webserver no longer working

["Michelle Hall-Jones" <support@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To Ray Healy & all users that contributed to solving my problem,

A BIG thank you!! I followed exactly as mentioned below at I now have my
Raq4i running 100%. I noticed that there are others on the users-list asking
the same about the Raq3i - I need to find out if one can apply the same
method to the Raq3i, as I have one on a colocated farm.
Hopefully the solution will be able to help all users asking the same
question.
I really want to express my gratitude as I was told by Sun in the US that
they do not support non US clients - we have to source support locally if
there is such a thing. Coming from the original Cobalt days when they
launched their first cube & raq we were all treated with the service they
promised - now Sun has taken over & the attitude certainly has changed.

Thank you to the Users-list once again!

regards
Michelle








>>Dear Michelle

I had the same problem with my RAQ4 - I have listed below exactly what I did
and what happened - my machine is back up again :-)

Apache / Security / TCP / ASP Patches & Install - 30/06/02

Installed the 3 patches from Cobalt - Security / TCP / Apache - PATCHES
13323 / 14559 / 15417

Installed fine.

Rebooted

Lost web server / GUI /all sites / ASP

SSH into machine OK (email was also OK)

Restarted web server - caused an error
(/etc/rc.d/init.d start)
(error was - Setting up Web Service: chiliasp: Failed to open
libcasp2ap.so. - Check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. -
/usr/sbin/httpd)

Commented (#) out the 2 lines in srm.conf and httpd.conf
SRM - (Before - CaspLib /home/chiliasp/asp-apache-3000)(After - #CaspLib
/home/chiliasp/asp-apache-3000)
HTTPD - (Before - LoadModule casp2_module
/etc/httpd/modules/mod_casp2.so)(After - #LoadModule casp2_module
etc/httpd/modules/mod_casp2.so)

Restarted web server and all was OK

Checked the logs and saw we had a CHMOD error
(error was AllowChmod is depreciated and will not work consistantly)

Modified the proftpd.conf

Before -
<Global>
   AllowChmod                    on
   # Report localtime, not GMT
   TimesGMT   off
 </Global>

After -
<Global>
   <Limit SITE_CHMOD>
     AllowAll
   </Limit>
   # Report localtime, not GMT
   TimesGMT   off
 </Global>

Rebooted - all OK

Downloaded the ChiliASP 3.6.2 (had to use wget command)
(wget
ftp://download.chilisoft.com/pub/chiliasp/cobalt/raq4/RaQ4-chiliasp362-2.pkg
)


Installed - all OK

Rebooted

ALL FINE - no CHMOD errors and ASP works fine with the web server
