Summary     : Round Robin Database Tool to store and display time-series data
Description :
RRD is the Acronym for Round Robin Database. RRD is a system to store and
display time-series data (i.e. network bandwidth, machine-room temperature,
server load average). It stores the data in a very compact way that will not
expand over time, and it presents useful graphs by processing the data to
enforce a certain data density. It can be used either via simple wrapper
scripts (from shell or Perl) or via frontends that poll network devices and
put a friendly user interface on it.

Cactus, here the are,

I also have i yum update done with all database open, same problem.

Never do that again pleas as that will most certainly drag in more than you like and might cause very serious damage. If you want to have something from the not enabled repositories manually enabled it for one time during a yum install command with the --enablerepo=reponame option.

rpm -q --whatrequires rrdtool
perl-rrdtool-1.0.50-1.2.el4.rf
smeserver-sme7admin-1.1.0-1
smeserver-sysmon-5.1-3
smeserver-cacti-0.8.7a-1

That is what I thought already. There were problems with different conflicting rrdtool versions being required by smeserver-sme7admin and smeserver-sysmon if I remember correctly.

[root@server ~]# rpm -qi rrdtool

It seems your version of rrdtool comes from dag, which might be correct but might also cause conflicts. You might be better of removing that one and reinstalling rrdtool from the default repositories. That might solve your issues.

Remove like this:

Code: [Select]

rpm -e --nodeps rrdtool
It will make its dependencies malfunction for a short while but we will solve that later on.

What is your server history, straight install of a SME Server 7 from CD or upgrade from previous releases? You should enable both repositories as they belong to the default SME Server set. You can do that using the following commands:

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories setprop base status enabled
db yum_repositories setprop updates status enabled
expand-template /etc/yum.conf
Now check that you only have the repositories enabled in the server-mamanger that are listed here, disable others that are not listed.

Now I guess lot of updates will be waiting for you, but first we will install rrdtool again:

Code: [Select]

yum install rrdtoolAbove should work as a version of it should be in the base (CentOS) repository as well.

Now to apply missing updates (and the updates of contribs against the new locale encoding as well):

Code: [Select]

yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs
After updating please run:

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot
Edit: Fixed typo in expand-template instruction

[Helgo]

Cactus, thanks for helping!
Something is wrong

[root@server ~]# db yum_repositories setprop base status enabled
[root@server ~]# db yum_repositories setprop updates status enabled
[root@server ~]# expand-templates /etc/yum.conf
-bash: expand-templates: command not found

[root@server ~]# expand-templates /etc/yum.conf

Sorry you are right I made a typo command should read:

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/yum.conf
I will fix my original post, just pick-up my instructions with the fixed command.

Include smecontribs ...

You may need the matching perl modules as well.

[elmarconi]

Anybody care to comment on why I get this error:

[root@fallbacksme tmp]# find /etc/e-smith/locale/ -type f | xargs -n1 iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8 > /dev/null
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 462

Probably related to errors after uninstalling some contribs:
yum remove smeserver-mediawiki & yum remove smeserver-dirty-tools:
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 19, column 44, byte 462 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm line 187

Remaining contribs:

smeserver-tftp-server.noarch             1.0-2.el4.sme          installed

Edit: I traced it back to /etc/e-smith/locale/fr, containing the culprit.
I moved the whole tree /etc/e-smith/locale/fr as per this but it would not let me determine the panel responsible for this mess...

Any hints how to do further research?

[p-jones]

I was lucky enough to have a server go down from a failed hard disk in the middle of all this. (Yeah Right !!)

New install from the 7.3 CD with the only contribs being SYSMON , BACKUP with DAR and FETCHMAIL.

I have a  a screwed up Server Manager Panel. Backup was the last contrib I loaded and that was where the server-manager panel screwed up. So far everything seems to be working OK tho.

[SuperGrover]

Since the last update also my server manager panel is screwed up. Also the language is now Dutch (OK, I am  ), but I prefer English. Where can I set this setting ?

[marsa_matruh]

Change language in the browser settings...

[MAuVE]

I am having the same problem with the Greek localization.

Instead of the left-side menu in the server-manager I get the following error message :

"Software error:
Couldn't open /home/e-smith/db/navigation/navigation.el

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (admin), giving this error message and the time and date of the error."

By changing the language in the browser settings it reverts to normal English.

Last week I did some ironing of the Greek language, but there is much more work to be done if this is tackled item by item.

A friend greek user told me that he will try doing a batch-correction of the reccuring spelling mistakes.
