Fedora Core 5 ISP, Major Problems

Everything went well with the installation thank you.

After starting using the system, I created some clients, sites, and some users for those clients, using Ispconfig. Everything seem to be well, until I rebooted!

I had no login screen anymore! Apache is running, but Ispconfig does not work!This happend after creating users and rebooting.

I need serious help. Ican't even login to my system through KDE! I can SSH to the system.

I think is a problem with /etc/fstab! HELP! PLEASE!!!

 

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

Restart ISPConfig like this:

Code:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

Then add the appropriate system startup links so that ISPConfig is started at boot time:

Code:

chkconfig --levels 235 ispconfig_server on

 

netstat -tap

Ispconfig did restart with:

Returned:

netstat -tap Output:

 

Ok, ISPConfig is running now.

You might have to modify /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server so that its header resembles your other init scripts. Then chkconfig should work.

 

I still can't login to the server like use too, through KDE! Everything seems to b working normally, yet the login screen does not show up!

Help Please!!

Thanks

 

Do you get any error messages?
Make sure your firewall doesn't block port 81.

 

I can't login into the system anymore! Fedora! Not Ispconfig!

I can get Ispconfig through my laptop, and everything is working great!

 

Do you mean the desktop, or SSH, ...?

 

Desktop, I can ssh into it.

 

You can try to start KDE from the shell with this command:

Code:

startx

 

This the output:

xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.8666
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.



Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up.
xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

 

Can you kill the existing X processes and run

Code:

startx

again?

 

After I deleted the file above and entered:

startx

through SSH, it worked; back to normal! But when I close that session through the remote terminal, the xwindows session goes with it. How can I make it a permanent thing?

Also, after I reboot the system, I still need to reboot ispconfig. What else can i do for this process to start automatically?

Thanks Again

 

Have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=26367&postcount=8

 

This is the message I get every time!

I still can't get startx at boot!

 

You might have to adjust the header of ispconfig_server. Have a look at some other init scripts in /etc/init.d. There must be a section in the header that describes in which runlevels a service should be started. Copy that to ispconfig_server.

 

Still No luck

I can't boot to xwindows! The only way around this is if I logging through ssh on a remote computer and enter the command startx.

But If I have no computer available, the only way to get to x windows is using the single user mode; otherwise I get a blue screen. No way to enter commands or anything.

Please help, it's been a while and it is very inconvenient.

 

Create an init script like this one (e.g. /etc/init.d/startx):

Code:

#!/bin/bash

## header copied from some other init script goes here ##

startx

Make it executable:

Code:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/startx

and use the chkconfig tool to make it start at boot.
Please replace ## header copied from some other init script goes here ## with the header section from some other init script because otherwise chkconfig will fail.

 

Please replace ## header copied from some other init script goes here ##

I've tried to look at different scripts but they all look diffferent. I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to copy from the other scripts. Here is what I have so far, but I get an error saying:

service startx does not support chkconfig

Code:

 #!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 2345 11 92
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions



# Source networking configuration
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

I'm a rookie when it comes to scripting, so if you could be a little more specific it would hep.

Thanks

The # chkconfig: part at the top of the init scripts is important.
I don't have a SuSE system at hand right now, so can you post the contents of another init script here so that I can tell you what you must put into the startx script?
