We are in the process of doing a slow migration to another platform and plan on using our BO box as a relay. Is there an easy way to forward the emails to another server that would normally be dropped for no such user? We are changing the format of our email addresses as we migrate, so it seems like the easiest way to go. Here is the plan in my head so far. We setup a new mailbox on the other server as bob.smith@ (with an alias of bsmith) when his old address was bsmith@. We would .forward his bsmith mailbox to the bob.smith address. When a message is received at the old server for bob.smith (or any other nonexistent mailbox) it would be forwarded to the new server (and that server would determine whether it should be delivered or returned as NSU). If the message was for bsmith, the .forward would take over and the previous step would happen. Then eventually once all of the mailboxes were migrated, we would change the MX record to the new server and shut down the old.

BTW Michael this is the same sarve you looked at for me a few months ago that forgot all the user passwords. I had put in a new HD and reinstalled everything thinking it was a bad HD, it appears that was not the issue. Bill Hicks I found the Rescue mode, the partition table was destroyed so it appears there is no restoring from it. Maybe you learned souls out there could tell me does this sound like just bad luck with this server or an HD issue: 1. It is a SuperMicro 2U with Quad processors with 3 GB of ram. It originally had a 20gb drive (this is one of 6 that I have all with the same specs) 2. Back in February when adding a new site via the gui it reset itself and from that point forward you could not log in via the gui - it believed it was an initial install. It seemed to narrow down to the passwords getting currupted. You could log in via ssh. http, php and mysql was still running on the server. 3. I backed up all the sites (was only 3) and replaced the 20gb with a new 80gb hd. Reinstalled 5106r, did all the updates and rebuilt the sites on March 1st. 4. It has been running fine for the past 2 1/2 months, doing updates running sites etc. 5. Today I get my notices that 5 servers have updated but this one didn't so I go to log in via the gui and get a blank screen, in the address bar I see it was redirecting me to intro.html (seen this before) 6. I log in via ssh to see if maybe it is loocked up on the update or experiencing a DOS. When I get in and su to root I do a top to see what is happening and I get Bus Error. Wow never seen that before. 7. I do a /sbin/shutdown -r now to reboot, system stops in ssh. Still able to get websites on it and I am still getting the same emails when I check the mail (same email over and over again). I try ssh again, wont let me in, after giving password it just stops. If I try ssh under a user that doesnt have access I get access deined so somethign is working. 8. When I get to office I try ftp, and it just locks up. 9. I try ssh again, nothing. 10. I go to the server (luckily they are in next room from me), plug in a monitor and I see scrolling continuously HD sector error and a number - this is not good. 11. I reboot the server with ctrl + alt + delete, starts up, bios message - OS not found -- Move server to office for detailed work -- 12. Start server - HD not found. What - Wiggle IDE cable - start again - OS not found 13. Move cables, HD not found, on s9ome reboots, OS not found on others, changed cable, OS not found consistantly and when I run the rescue mode I get continous errors and then it says the it doesnt have a Linux partition So what should I conclude here, Is the server bad, is the cable bad, could I have had 2 bad HD's in a row. Could a bad cable cause it to have exihibited these problems? Or could it be the server? What about memory? Could a memory failure cause this? It has never crashed or rebooted in the months I have had it like other bad servers I have had in the past, it has never given me any grief other than this.

Hi Bill, 6. I log in via ssh to see if maybe it is loocked up on the update or experiencing a DOS. When I get in and su to root I do a top to see what is happening and I get Bus Error. Wow never seen that before. I'm really sorry to hear that this box is giving you grief again. :-( I have seen Bus Error error messages before on one of my own boxes. It was also a fairly old clunker only used for some development and testing stuff. When Linux says Bus Error, then that points somewhere in the direction of the hard disk controller. It could be that the controller itself is busted, could be bad cabling, oxydized contacts, a problem with the circuit board that's screwed under the HD itself, or it could be something wrong with a part of the motherboard that interfaces with the controller. For testing purposes I'd put the disks into another box. This could be any PC - even a workstation. In my office I'd take a Windows box, would disconnect the internal HDs, would hook up one of the HDs from the failed server via USB and would boot the box off the BlueOnyx CD in rescue mode. That should allow you to check if there is still good data on the hard disk or if the partition table is trashed as the failed box claims. If the disks turn out OK, you could even shove them into another server and could use them there. If that still makes sense is another question. You mentioned 80GB disks, so I assume they are also already pretty aged. All in all I agree with Chris: If the hardware starts to get flaky, then it's time to bin it, or to retire it to unimportant tasks where potential loss of data is no longer a critical or crippling issue. In my experience the typical hardware lasts me about four years and then the mean time between failures usually goes through the roof. First the disks let go and the number of disk related failures skyrocket, then the box crashed more often and in the end something lets go entirely, which prevents startup. The longest I ever got out of a 24/7 running server was seven years, but then it was operating on its third set of HDs and second set of RAM. -- With best regards, Michael Stauber Hi Michael - I did take the HD and put it in another PC and got the same issue, No OS. I am pretty sure the server is the issue as this is the 2nd HD and this one was new, well new in that it had never been used and was still in the box. I will keep the server as a test box and am looking at upgrading to better servers. These older servers, though powerful for what they used for are a concern. Though I do have a Sun Raq4 that I have been using non-stop since 1999 and it has never had a single hiccup, except for the little fans quiting on it and having to remove the cover so it wouldnt run hot. As a last piece of information about the server, last night it sent me 2 email warnings, one from LogWatch which I see occasionally on all the servers but also the following cron error: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: /usr/bin/analog: analog version 5.32/Unix /usr/bin/analog: Warning L: Large number of corrupt lines in logfile stdin: turn debugging on or try different LOGFORMAT (For help on all errors and warnings, see docs/errors.html) Current logfile format: %v %S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] %j%w%r%wHTTP%j %c %b %f %B\n %S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] %j%w%r%wHTTP%j %c %b %f %B\n %S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] %j%w%r %c %b %f %B\n %S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] %r %c %b %f %B\n I am pretty sure this was a symptom of the crash and not the cause.

Thank you everyone for all the feedback, it help me narrow down what to look for - after trying to recover the drive using various software I then decided to see if the drive was really at fault.

[BlueOnyx:10765] Re: phpMyAdmin credentials issue
William I am not an expert on the MySql and BlueOnyx but I am (pretty) sure there is no connection between the MySql root password and the password you set for root in the Gui for BO. The reason I feel confident in this is on one of the test boxes I use PhpMyAdmin always yells at me that I havent set the root password yet and it is set in the Gui for root. Bill Hicks Hello everyone – We may have dug ourselves a hole here. In trying to restore a vsite from one server to another, the mysql database for the site's drupal instance didn't get set up. We figured 'no problem' and started to add it from the command line since the mysql dump file exceeded the 8MB limit of phpMyAdmin. At that point we realized that the mysql root password was unknown. We tried everything we might have set it to. We tried setting it in the BlueOnyx GUI without success. So we stopped mysqld, restarted mysql in safe mode, set a new root user password, stopped mysqld and restarted. So far so good. We can now log into mysql as root. The trouble is, phpMyAdmin now will not connect and stays in a perpetual loop connecting and transferring data. We assume the password the GUI is using for the root user is wrong. Using the new root password in the B;ueOnyx GUI password change page we changed the password for user root and then changed it back again to what we want it to be. Using /usr/sausalito/bin/cceclient when logged in as root, we see the correct password in the MySQL object. Running the /usr/sausalito/bin/cceclient while logged in as admin, there is no MySQL password. Can anyone suggest what we may have broken? If this is a credentials issue, where is the password set that the GUI uses to connect to MySQL? Thanks in advance for any tips.

[BlueOnyx:10706] Re: BO 5106R Suspend
Hi Michael When a site or user is suspended, the home directory of said group and/or user is chmodded in a way to prevent any access to it for anything but root. So Apache, FTP, Dovecot and whatever else will no longer have access to it. In that case the forbidden triggers first before the ErrorDocument. Yes that is what I expected, I had assumed that the server was feeding them the /error/403-forbidden.html file, but as you say it isn't, so where is the the htmlfile that it is feeding them so I can edit it or is there one? Bill Hicks Hi Bill, On BO, when I suspend a site why does it not show the /error/403-forbidden.html file? Instead it gives me: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /twiggt on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[BlueOnyx:10686] Website Statistics
Is there a link I can give a client for sites on BO 5106 that will let them see their website statistics (webalizer) without giving them the link to the site admin? On the Raq I used www.domainname.com/stats and it had an htaccess / htpasswd login - would like the same on the BO (or similar) where they sign in and only see the stats.

[BlueOnyx:10601] Re: Testing: 5106R/5107R/5108R YUM updates(ProFTPd, base-ftp and base-swupdate)
Try changing the IP of any site. Possibly it rewrites the proftpd.conf. See if that does it. Ken Marcus I was surprised. It fixed the problem ! I changed /backed one IP. But still problem. And I restart the server, than it fixed. Thank you Ken. FYI This also worked for the issue I was having: Would the recent update to ProFTP on the 5106R cause me to get a connect error the 1st time I connect to a site that I havent connected to in a while? I get a: Failed to receive response after connect Host type (1): Automatic Detect When using wsftp on port 21. If I try again it connects. If I close wsftp and come back I get the same sequence. I never had this issue before. I reboot does not clear it up. On the other 4 servers all running same BO and same exact hardware this is not happening. The thing I don't understand is why it is only on the one server. The only thing I can possibly think of is that this is the 1st server I put BO on and I had ran it locally for a while and used the ftp locally (ie through 192.168.1.200) before making it live.

[BlueOnyx:10562] Problem with a virtual site
I have 2 sites (www.site1.com and www.site2.com) on a 5106r sharing the same IP adddress which I have done many times before and never had this issue. The issue I have is this: If I go to www.site1.com it loads ok If I go to www.site2.com it loads ok If I go to site2.com it directs to www.site2.com and loads ok If I go to site1.com it redirects to www.site2.com and loads that site. Both are set to have site1.com and site2.com's A rec set for the ip and the www. is a cname to that A rec. I looked at the site configuration for both in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts and I see that site1 did not have a: ServerAlias www.site1.com line in it whereas site2 does. I added it and rebooted the server but this did not help. I changed the IP of site1 and am waiting for it to update but I am not sure why this would happen. The only thing I can think of is that originally this site was www2.site1.com and when we went live I changed it to www.site1.com in the GUI.

Yup, simple fix here. Just pull everything out of the aliases field in the site's web settings and save. Then put everything back and save again. That should rectify it for you.

[BlueOnyx:10444] 5106R and pam_abl
One of my BO's did not send me an update report this mornign so I SSH'd in to see if there was an issue, if it was stuck on an update and it was running slow. I did a top to see what was running and there was 30 or more copies of pam_abl --purge running, some as old as 3 days. I did a restart and it took a few minutes but it did restart for me and all is fine now. I had an issue with pam_abl before where it locked up on a restart on purging the databases and I had to restart the server in what I call safe mode where you confirm every process starting and told it now to run pam_abl so I could remove these: rm /var/lib/abl/hosts.db rm /var/lib/abl/users.db per an old mailing list topic: [BlueOnyx:06544] Re: Problem with pam_abl Is this something I should consider doing on a regular basis or are the two problems not related.

[BlueOnyx:10189] Re: BO5016 Update Procedure
Michael, Ok that sounds good. I saw the kernal updated yesterday / today - so I will do a reboot on the servers in the morning. On rebooting, if I do a reboot through the Gui is this the same as doing /sbin/shutdown -r now? (I would assume it is) Bill. Hi Bill, Up till 2 weeks ago I had always rebooted the servers at 6am if any updates where made so that everything would be nice and fresh since it only takes about 1 minute to reboot them. Don't reboot them, Bill. You really don't have to reboot your servers for any BlueOnyx related updates (i.e.: Updates that come out of the [BlueOnyx] YUM repository). There are a few OS related updates which make it sensible to reboot. Like when a new kernel gets installed. Then it makes sense to reboot sometime soon to get the benefit of running the newer kernel. Another sensible time for a reboot can be if there is a major OS update like we had a while back when 5107R and 5108R upgraded from SL-6.1 to SL-6.2. But during those major updates the kernel usually gets updated, too. So that would be the primary reason for the reboot. Other than the kernel everything else can usually always be upgraded nicely without rebooting. -- With best regards Michael Stauber ___ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx ___ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
