Hi, my cobalt apache is corrupted so I can't access the /admin, /siteadmin or /personal anymore. I've been trying to fix it for a bit now but with no success. I don't want to do a restore. I've got no sites on it. Does someone know how I could restore the original files by hand ? If it would be possible could someone post here a backup of the cobalt apache tared and tell me the right commange to untar it keeping the right permissions etc ...
I know there are quite a few gurus around on the forum,
Could someone please try and help me. Maybe even reinstall apache... but I wouldn't know where to start.
Thanks in advance ,

Here is a script to solve this...



cobalt aid (http://cobalt-aid.sourceforge.net/scripts/)


siteManage-fix.tgz (http://cobalt-aid.sourceforge.net/scripts/RaQs/Rebuilding/siteManage-fix.tgz)


I haven't tried it, so use it at your own risk!!!


Good luck!

WOW! thanks ! I've got nothing to lose so I will test it streight away !!
By any chance do you know the commande to run a pkg from ssh ?

Thanks

there is a thread in this forum....


/usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade PACKAGENAME.pkg

Thanks, well I've just seen that it's not a pkg. But at the moment the search option on this forum seems to be disabled !

Well, I've run it, got no errors and have rebooted the server, I will soon see if it has fixed my poblem ... !

Well I'm afriad that it didn't work :( well the /admin and /personal and /siteadmin still don't come up, I thought that a reboot should start up the admin apache, maybe I have to start it by hand, what is the command ? Thanks :)

I've just read a bit deeper, the script isn't for restoring apache but for restoring the admin pages them selves, the /admin, /personal and /siteadmin files are all OK but the apache that allows them to run is not,

Any ideas ?

Can you reach http://www.yourdomain.com:81/.cobalt/sysManage/ ?

No, I think that it's on the admin apache too ...
All I need is to somehow rebuild apache !

Hi, can't anyone help me ? I guess that my next solution is to try something like taring the admin server apache from my raq4 and sending it to my raq3, I bet they are not compatible, but does anyone know what the tar instructions would be to keep everything with the same permissions etc ...

If you do a simple tar --create --verbose --filename=XX.tar folder/files to tar
then gzip it, you should preserve the structure and permissions, though it might not solve your problem.

Have you tried the Sun Cobalt forum?

have you tried this as root#/etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv restart

Yes we get an error saying something like apache shouldn't be run as root but I have checked it and it is not running as root but apache ...
I'm rearly lost with this one and am wondering if there is a way of reinstalling it ...

Hi

I've found this rpm on the net...

apache-admsrv-1.3.20-RaQ4_1C1.i386.rpm


but i'm not sure, what it does.. so USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!


You can download this rpm from my page:
download rpm (http://www.energyweb.ch/patches/apache-admsrv-1.3.20-RaQ4_1C1.i386.rpm)


GOOD LUCK!

Do you remember where you got it? I've got a raq3 not a raq4...
I'd like to read some doc about it before installing it ...

Thanks !

I think I found it in the


sun - forum (http://supportforum.sun.com/cgi-bin/WebX.cgi?/cobalt.raq.general)
