Error connecting to rPath

[nilsontb]

When I try to connect to rpath interface (https://myip:8003) I get the following error:

An error has occured between the web server and the service processing the request. Please reload this page, or go back and try again. If the error persists, contact your system administrator.

Any ideas how I can get through this?

thanks,

Nilson

Hi Nilson,

It's nothing I've ever seen. The page initially does a redirect to /rAA/ so you might try https://yourip:8003/rAA/

Unfortunately google doesn't seem very forthcoming on the subject either. It obviously looks like one of the rPath admin services has failed.

In init.d I see three raa services which I think are the rPath control processes. As there are three and start in sequence I would suggest doing a system reboot with a "reboot" from the console.

Can you see/use the FreeNATS interface ok?

Cheers,

Dave.

Happens to me all the time TBH, I normally just reboot the box when I can be bothered because the FreeNATS interface is normally still working when the rPath error happens.

BTW, when are we likely to see a virtual appliance with V1

Hmm... Unfortunately it's never happened to me and I've run the VM images (various) for quite some time.

Having looked at the services I've found the two raa scripts which may well solve your problem by stopping and restarting. What I'd suggest is that you try the following when rPath isn't working, this should restart the backend and web services so resolve either being stopped. Note I always stop a service twice, the first time usually stops everything but the second time usually kills any remaining rogue processes. You're after a green OK for the first stop of each service and then a red FAILED for the second. If you get green twice then do a third stop which should be red meaning there are no processes to kill.

Try the following:

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/init.d/raa-lighttpd stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/raa-lighttpd stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/raa stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/raa stop

And to restart:

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/init.d/raa start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/raa-lighttpd start

Note the order is the other way round from stopping and starting i.e. stop the backend services last but start them first.

I hope this will save reboots (if you have to reboot daily then you might as well run Windows!). I may also have a look and see if there's a later LAMP image to base any future VMs on. With regard to a v1 VM I'll respond to your other post.

Regards,

Dave.
