Thanks Nick/Tony
I grabbed another box, and reinstalled.
Updated the NIC settings.

Works perfect.
I much more prefer my last install (2 hours) to my sum total efforts previous (50 hours, 3 years, 3 countries)

You'll probably see more of me in the forums

Sorry - the command is "rpm -Va" - memory CRC error :-(

Tend to agree with Nick that some of the things you have done are not the wisest - for instance zipping files up and restoring later would not preserve any symlinks properly by default (need a switch) as well as the permissions issue Nick mentioned. e.g. setuid/setgid permissions are not preserved by zip. When you re-install a package rpm usually retains the existing configuration files and appends "rpmnew" to the re-installed configuration files. Thus if you have corrupted configuration file(s) they remain unless you manually over-write them using the "rpmnew" additions. Not saying this is your problem and indeed don't even know whether any were created during your re-install - but something worth keeping in mind during the re-install process. By watching the yum output you will see yum indicate when this happens.

Also agree with Nick - at this stage probably best to cut your losses and re-install - and in future use the yum/rpm tools rather than manually manipulating directories and their contents to replace/refresh files controlled by yum/rpm...

ClearOS puts its stuff in different places, mainly under /var/clearos, /usr/clearos and bits under /etc. I am not sure it is a particularly good idea to move directories around as you did. I can wreck the permissions and ownerships. Also ClearOS set various flags/files to say if programs have been initialised and won't initialise them again, so you could only be copying over some of the right files.

As you've only just installed, even though it was difficult, would it be a good idea to start again.

I've tried # yum clean all && yum reinstall app*
also restarted webconfig
replaced the network_visualizer directory

Started up a disk on virtualbox and installed clearos on there with all the apps, then zipped them up, pulled them over to the original clearos box
I replaced the whole 'app' (/usr/clearos/apps/) directory
Webconfig worked perfectly, except it would not accept the u/p even though I reset it through the console numerous times

Put the original apps directory back and swapped out the ntp directory, and did the same thing as above, went to login screen, but could not login

/usr/clearos/framework/application/config/config.php = 'en_us'


========================================
tried the rpm, but looks like it is location specific . .. .?

How about taking " "yum reinstall" " a bit further - just reinstall *ALL* the webconfig apps after resetting yum package information...

# yum clean all && yum reinstall app*

They are quite small so that should not take long... restart webconfig and try again...

I don't have the app-gateway-management - so know nothing about it or what it hooks into...

You could also try using rpm to verify all packages

# rpm -Va
(edit... corrected the above command)

use the man page ( man rpm) or https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch04s04.html or simlar information to understand what each column means...

S file Size differs
M Mode differs (includes permissions and file type)
5 digest (formerly MD5 sum) differs
D Device major/minor number mismatch
L readLink(2) path mismatch
U User ownership differs
G Group ownership differs
T mTime differs
P caPabilities differ

This is now probably beyond me. What is the value of $config['language'] in /usr/clearos/framework/application/config/config.php?

BTW, deleting folders is not the right way to uninstall packages. You may do better better to reinstall the package again with "yum reinstall" then remove it again with "yum remove". Also note that "yum remove" can be a very dangerous way of removing packages as it can remove far more than intended and bring your system down. In this case it is OK as I have checked it will only remove the 5 packages the app installed.

I deleted the directory /usr/clearos/apps/network_visualizer

then it said:

/usr/clearos/apps/ntp//language/en_US/ntp_lang.php does not contain a valid lang array

I also restarted the webconfig

Looks like it doesnt have a language set somehow.

For

What language have you set ClearOS to (Webconfig > System > System > General Settings)?

Webconfig isnt working, so hard to tell

What language have you set ClearOS to (Webconfig > System > System > General Settings)?

You can also try removing it with a:

yum remove app-gateway-management* dnsthingy

but if it tries to remove more than 5 packages do not proceed. If that fixes your webconfig, then you can try reinstalling them.

[edit]
Once removed also restart the webconfig with a "service webconfig restart" or log off and back on again.
[/edit

Made the changes, no luck

Gateway Management is a new app to me. I just installed it to have a look. It installs 5 packages and you can try a:

yum reinstall app-gateway-management* dnsthingy

to see if it fixes the installation correctly

Performed the operations with success

Still getting

An Error Was Encountered



/usr/clearos/apps/gateway_management//language/en_US/gateway_management_lang.php does not contain a valid lang array

when I go to https://10.50.100.1:81/

Thanks.
Is there a reason why ClearOS is not accepting connections?

ssh root@10.100.50.1

ssh: connect to host 10.100.50.1 port 22: Connection timed out

Can you try a "yum-complete-transaction" from the command line. Post back with any errors. If it goes OK, then try a "yum clean all && yum update".
