Installation issues / Re: Can't access web admin

Hi Beeker,

Thanks for the reply and the details.

You can access the web admin from anywhere, I set the options so I can access it outside through port 9000 using a dedicated port or otherwise the default is port 80 so it will depend on your setup as to which one you use. I use port 9000 as I already have a dedicated web server on port 80 for our home page.

Outside
http://your_ip_address/lmce-admin or if you are using another port rather than port 80 then you would need to change it to the following example http://your_ip_address:9000/lmce-admin where 9000 is the port you have specified in the outside access page of web-admin, this would then have to be port forwarded in your adsl modem router as well. For internal on any pc just use http://192.168.80.1/lmce-admin with your login details as per Kezza's post.

Hope this helps

Unfortunately it doesn't!    If I understand you correctly, I don't have to make any configuration change in order to be able to access the linuxmce box via the web admin interface on the standard http port (80).  In my case, my home network uses the 192.168.4 subnet, so my linuxmce box has the IP address 192.168.4.101 (given to it by my firewall DHCP server).  If I run ifconfig on the linuxmce box, it tells me that eth0 has the IP address 192.168.4.101, so that all seems fine.  From that box, I can ping my firewall (192.168.4.1) and my laptop computer without any problem.  However, if I go to my laptop, open a browser and put in http://192.168.4.101/lmce-admin, I get a pause for a number of seconds, then a timeout message.  Similarly, if I try and ping 192.168.4.101 from my laptop, the pings time out.  I've done quite a bit of java web development in my time and I have web apps running on several computers in the house (some are on port 80 and some on port 8080) and I can access any of those from my laptop or my linuxmce box so something strange is happening to traffic going into the linuxmce box - it's just getting swallowed.

I need to see if I can dig out a spare hub, or a crossover cable or something I can plug into eth1 to see if I can get anything on 192.168.80.1

Cheers,

When you went through AV Wizard you specified users. The user's name your created is the web-admin login and password ie user 'Bob' web-admin login is 'username = Bob' 'password = Bob' I think it is case sensitive as well.

Hmmm, I guess I'll have to re-run that wizard again then.  I was quite certain I created two users, (myself and my wife) and mine was just the same user name and password I used for the Ubuntu login when I initially installed that.

Does anyone know where LinuxMCE stores the users created by the AV Wizard?

Hi Kezza,

Can you access from linuxmce itself?

Yes, after my post, I worked out how to get to the web-admin on the linuxmce box itself and I've got the login page to come up.  Unfortunately, I can't log in.  I can get a console on the linuxmce box (eg with <ctrl><alt><F2>) and login that way with the username and password I used during setup, but the Web Admin console won't accept that username/password combo.  I don't recall adding any different username/password during any of the installation processes.

What about the internal network 192.168.80.***? That will be from your 2nd nic.

I've not tried that yet.  That NIC (eth1) is actually faulty.  I have a replacement for it, but I haven't swapped it in yet - I wanted to get a few more things working before I did that.

I cannot remember if web-admin works on outside network from default but in web-admin wizard (one of the menu's I'm not at home so cannot check) is outside access link try ticking box for port 80 and try again.

Have a hunt on wiki for more info and security issues of doing this.

I really want to be able to administer the linuxmce box from my home network anyway rather than the linuxmce internal network if I can.  I have my own dedicated firewall (ip-cop) between my home network and the Internet anyway so I'm pretty comfortable with the security side of things.

All I need now is to work out what my login is for the web-admin so I can try ticking the box you mentioned.

Thanks for your help so far,

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

Users / LinuxMCE CD or DVD Covers/Labels

« on: January 26, 2010, 03:51:37 am »

Hi All,

I'm looking for an image to print on my LinuxMCE 8.10 DVD.  I've googled extensively, hunted through linuxmce.com and the Wiki without success.  Is there any artwork around for CD and/or DVD labels?  There seems to be some quite nice artwork on the sites, but nothing specifically for CD/DVD labels.

Cheers,
