I have recently installed two new computers. One was to replace my old server2000 (needed to run MS SQL) and the other a Suse Server.

I now cannot get into server manager following message

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://192.168.42.5/server-manager

The following error was encountered:

    * Connection Failed

The system returned:

    (111) Connection refused

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Your cache administrator is admin@kmcomputers.co.uk.

I can use Putty to SSH and can administer via the setup or the text web service.

Does anyboy now why the connection is refused and what I may be able to do to fix the problem. I have tried from linux and windows clients. All get the same message

Which version SME you using and what does your /var/log/messages & apache logs tell you?

Have you installed any additional packages on your server?

Martin.

Have you had a look in the logs? any errors there?

maybe try disabling proxy and seeing if that solves it ?!

To disabled have a look here...

Just to concur with martinhick.  I am running 7.0 beta 8 and  this morning  I wasn't able to get into webmail or into server-manager. I also have a friend runing the same version and he is also having the same problem. What caused this and what is the soloution. It had been fine for the last 30 days. I frequently am in my system to monitor webmail and I know it was working on Friday Dec 30th 2005.

Ok I found this in the Advanced Forums. This fixed mine and my friends problem. Telnet to the system and run it.

"signal-event post-upgrade", followed by "signal-event reboot" should solve the problem.

Thanks Robert,

the lines

signal-event post-upgrade

signal-event reboot

in a ssh session as root fixed the problem.

Is this a bug with 7.0 beta 8. If so I wil report it.

I am running SME V7 Beta8 and I am also locked out of the server-manager and webmail.

I have just entered in those "signal-event" commands and am waiting for it to reboot... Fingers crossed.

Something in the "Automatic Update - software installation" must have installed and screwed things up.

I haven't seen anything about this in the bug tracker... has it been reported as a bug?
