Novell Open Enterprise Server - Suse linux - Can't get iManger to work Help!

OK, so OES-Linux. I confess to my primary skills in the *NIX world being in Solaris, altho I am learning my way around Linux, and SUSE in particular. However, II have yet to sit at a live OES console, so I can't be precise in my suggestions. I'm assuming iManager in OES-Linux runs atop Apache.

Anyway, get to a console window (kconsole should be fine) in a super-user shell (the command-line prompt should end with a #). At that prompt, enter --> ps -ef | grep httpd

If Apache is running, it should show one or more lines containing "httpd".

If none are shown, then Apache isn't running, and therefore iManager isn't working. In that case, look in /etc/init.d for a script associated with iManager. You might try this sequence:

# cd /etc/init.d
# grep -i imanager *

And see if any of the scripts in there make reference to iManager. If you find the script responsible for stopping/starting iManager, then run it, like so:

# /etc/init.d <scriptnamehere> start

Substituting the filename of the script for "<scriptnamehere>" - remember, < and > are redirection symbols in the *NIX world, I'm using them as delimiters here.

Fudge. Typo in that command-line immediately above. It should have been:

# /etc/init.d/<scriptnamehere> start

If there are one or more instances of httpd running, then do a stop/start with the iManager script. Like so:

# /etc/init.d/<scriptnamehere> stop
# /etc/init.d/<scriptnamehere> start

Is that the exact error message?  "connection refused by server"?  Anything else?

What URL are you using to access iManager?  Can you access the index page for NPS?

Did you make any changes to the server between the time it was working and the time it stopped working - any YAST updates or configuration changes or whatever?

Can you connect to the server's home page - just http://<serverIP>/

no changes in Yast

can't access the web server local or real ip

KDE Show apache down can't start - port in use.

When I get back to the office I will try the grip command

Thanks

Yeah, "grep" is the right spelling.

Port in use? What is the output from --> netstat -a

no network card ?

I am now getting a fsck can't run run manual

That's not good.

Boot into single-user mode, and run fsck from the command-prompt.

Hunh?  Wazzat?
