Installation issues / Can't access web admin
« on: January 30, 2010, 08:51:21 pm »
Hi All,
I've successfully done an internet install of LinuxMCE 8.10 following this guide (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_0810) after having some problems with the DVD installation. I've successfully completed the AV Wizard and House Setup wizard.
However, I can't access the LinuxMCE Web Admin interface from my notebook via the LAN.
After installing Ubuntu, I installed OpenSSH and was happily accessing the LinuxMCE computer via SSH until after I completed the LinuxMCE installation, now I get a "connection timed out" error if I try and SSH to the server.
On the server itself, I've run ifconfig and confirmed that it has obtained a valid IP address from my DHCP Server (my IPCop firewall box) for eth0 (192.168.1.188). From the LinuxMCE box, I can ping my IPCop firewall. If I run nslookup dcerouter on my laptop, I get the correct IP address back. However, if I try and ping dcerouter or its IP from my laptop, the pings time out. If I try either http://dcerouter/pluto-admin or http://192.168.1.188/pluto-admin, I get a connection timeout error.
When I look in the Apache access logs, there's no evidence of any requests coming in.
I suspect this is some sort of wierd networking problem, but I don't know what to do next to diagnose the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers,
Rob Hills
