Console is not working. it does not even open

alpturkay · September 2, 2016, 5:23pm

I am trying to access to the console but it is not opening any ideas?

JMSolo · September 2, 2016, 5:28pm

What does typing this as root show?

systemctl status shellinabox

alpturkay · September 2, 2016, 5:43pm

it says this;

Hard to say as according to the status you just posted, it is active and running. Are you referring to the Web Console on your dashboard or the ssh client such as putty?

alpturkay · September 2, 2016, 6:24pm

i meant web console on my dashboard

JMSolo · September 2, 2016, 6:26pm

…and you cannot access this by the link on your dashboard?

Have you modified any apache configurations?

alpturkay · September 2, 2016, 9:18pm

I can not access it through the dashboard.

And No I haven’t modified anything. I just changed the location of the server (Turkey to Canada).

JMSolo · September 2, 2016, 9:24pm

That’s odd as this is the first I have heard of this and cannot reproduce on a new install.

Can you tell me what files you have when you do - feel free to sensor username specific things:

la -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

alpturkay · September 2, 2016, 9:41pm

no need to sensor

JMSolo · September 2, 2016, 9:43pm

Does the inside of your alp.console.conf look something to this effect?

LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
	AddDefaultCharset Off

	Allow from all
	AuthType Digest
	AuthName "rutorrent"
	AuthUserFile '/etc/htpasswd'
	Require valid-user
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /USERNAME.console http://SERVERIP:4224
ProxyPassReverse /USERNAME.console http://SERVERIP:4224

alpturkay · September 2, 2016, 9:44pm

how can i look inside of that file?

JMSolo · September 2, 2016, 9:45pm

To Edit inside the file:

nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/alp.console.conf

To just read the contents of the file:

cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/alp.console.conf

alpturkay · September 2, 2016, 9:54pm

I opened that file and changed the ip address that was written there because it was wrong (I changed the static ip of the server and in the conf file it was not changed.)

Now I can access the console through http://SERVERIP:4224. But can’t not reach it through dashboard = http://SERVERIP/user.console

JMSolo · September 2, 2016, 9:59pm

After you modify that file do service apache2 restart

alpturkay · September 2, 2016, 10:01pm

it worked!! Thank you man!

JMSolo · September 2, 2016, 10:01pm

No problem! Glad you got it all set.

Hi! You’re awesome, this fixed it for me too.

I started running VPN as client at boot and the console conf file was set to my internal VPN IP for tun0 (10.0.1.6 or something), not my local network IP. I changed it back to my LAN IP and web console works again.

Strange that it kicked in that change to my conf randomly but worked for a long time before that.

Hi

I have the same problem for some reason.
If i try to acces with serverip:4224 it works fine. But not with “User.console”
I can se the IP i correct.

If i run “la -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled”
i get
