PiaF Menu Configuration Not Working

[jquintana]

No matter what I select in the menu configuration under the admin section, nothing changes.

I few days ago I added the SugarCRM option and I lost the Webmin option.

Now, no matter what I select nothing changes.

What did I break and how can I fix it?

Thanks!

...anyone?

To access webmin:

http://<ip address>:9001

I believe that you can access FreePBX by:

http://<ip address>/admin/config.php

 

[jquintana]

I can access both, but they are just not in my "Admin Panel".

 

[MyKroFt]

your hostname is not resolving - webmin will not showup unless your hostname resolves to a ip address

I have double-checked my DNS settings and everything is ok.

I am able to ping the hostname from the PiaF server as well as from other workstations.

Have you checked the menu configuration icon to see if webmin has been delected?

Webmin is not in the menu.

 

[blanchae]

In /var/www/html/welcome/.htindex.cfg do you have this line? This is the Admin menu config file.

4,webmin,http://$host:9001/,Linux<br/>Webmin,ico_webmin.png

Have you run update-scripts, update-fixes?

What does the Linux command prompt "status" command indicate? If webmin isn't showing up then it could be a network problem after all as MyKroFt stated.

Sorry, this is a red herring. It's not in my working Admin Menu Configuration either.

 

[blanchae]

Lastly, have you checked Webmin's log at /var/webmin/webmin.log for clues? I wonder if running passwd-master would help?

This is the contents of my .htindex.cfg file:

I am pretty sure I ran update-scripts and update-fixes already.

This is what "status" returns:

I would run update-scripts, update-fixes and passwd-master again. It won't hurt anything, hopefully fix what's broken.

$host is not being populated with your machine ip.address.....

you could force $host in:

4,webmin,http://$host:9001/,Linux<br/>Webmin,ico_webmin.png

to localhost, then it should not have to resolv

also do you have the following at the top of your /etc/hosts file:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               pbx.local pbx localhost.localdomain localhost
::1             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

 

[MyKroFt]

er no localhost wont work either, your machine on which your browser is running will attempt to contact itself - 127.0.0.1 etc.

Need to figure out why $host is not populated

 

[MyKroFt]

here are the revelant lines in index.php that is populating $host:

     31 error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
     32 $host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
     33 if (strpos($host,":")>0) :
     34         $host = substr($host,0,strpos($host,":")) ;
     35 endif ;

now we need to figure out what your web server is sending back for http_host......

 

[MyKroFt]

it should come back with whatever address you are contacting your server as.

my box is on 192.168.0.2, and if use http://192.168.0.2, $host comes back at 192.168.0.2, i also have a alias of pbx-glacer to my hamachi ip

so again, something dns wise is not resolving and its timeing out

 

[MyKroFt]

when you boot, do you get a warning when apache starts up that it cant figure out your FQDN?

 

[jquintana]

I noticed I was using a different hostname in httpd.conf than that of my server.

Hostname is linserv.five-fifteen.local
httpd.conf was set to piaf.five-fifteen.local

After I set the httpd.conf to linserv.five-fifteen.local and restarted apache the webmin button appeared again.

Thanks to all who have helped!
