Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2006 8:09 am    Post subject: Installing on remote server

Hello

I am installing groundwork monitor on a remote server. Configuration files for apache installs empty (0 bytes), so i copied httpd.conf.bak onto httpd.conf on /usr/local/groundwork/apache2/conf/ but index.html/index.html don't redirect using opera.

Switched to firefox, but i am getting redirected to http://localhost/monitor/, but it is a remote server. No monitor, keyboard, nothing. IMHO, it should place hostname, instead of localhost, at the first redirect.

So i am in the way of searching all files and adjusting it. It is annoying, because i need to keep track of every file edited, for later config purposes.

Hi,
There was a problem on your install. The installation should create a new httpd.conf file in /usr/local/groundwork/apache2/conf.
Each of the following lines should have replaced "localhost" with your servers IP address.
TKTAuthLoginURL http://localhost/monitor/login.php

Can you tell me what operating system version you are installing on?
I can send you the httpd.conf file if you wish, but I'd like to understand why the install didn't work for you.

Peter

SuSE 9.3
kernel 2.6.11.4-21.9-smp

This is a fresh install, the only thing i've did was nagios2 install. But it is on another prefix than /usr/local so i think it isn't the problem.

Following is the output from `rpm -ivh groundwork-monitor*`:
# rpm -ivh groundwork-monitor-os-4.5-M1.31.i586.rpm

Hi Marcel,
We have a bug in our install script parsing your multple IP addresses. One thing that would help us debug is if you can send the output from your "ifconfig" command.
We can help you get started by sending you the httpd.conf file that should be created, if you wish. Please email me if you want us to do that - [email protected].
Thanks!
Peter

If multiple IPs addresses is the problem, i can solve.

But, meanwhile, you should consider about placing the hostname instead localhost files that we get redirected to. Why not?

Thanks for your answer.

Even editing /etc/hosts, it do not install correctly. So i think the script is parsing the /sbin/ifconfig output to figure out what is the IP-addresses that it will use to build httpd.conf.

I will down the conflicting interfaces, and after everything is running, i get them up again.

Now i am getting these errors:

-----

The following warnings have occurred:

I am using mysql 4.1.10a. SuSE Linux standard package.

I don't know where to look at yet, will try to figure out.

Upgraded MySQL from http://www.groundworkopensource.com/downloads/index.html and it is up and running.

Thanks Peter, Roger, GroundWork.
