[App_rpt-users] Don't have much hair left.

[R.K.]

Hello group,

Name is Ron, VK3ANT from Melbourne, Australia. 

I am new to the group so please take it easy on me when I goof up here

I set up a AllStar server and a node here at home, well I didn’t do much, a chap ( Tony )  in Arkansas did most of it and it was working pretty well until a few days ago. One thing he couldn’t get going was the time and there was an issue with the status page where my node ( 28467 ) could not be seen.

Anyway, he sent me some info to try a few things and well, you guessed it, I muffed the server, you might say I murdered it, now I have nothing.

I am using an RTCM here ( well I was ) and all was working pretty well as I said. I have never messed around with the Linux system and hence I was/are very unfamiliar playing with it. Tony, being a guru knew what he was doing and so when he configured my server he did so manually and outside the AllStar Portal. 

Now that all that configuration has gone, well I am “trying” ( read hair pulling ) to reconfigure my server within the pages of the portal, but when I download the information it just gives me all these hundreds of error messages.

I ran the Acid disc over my server PC again which takes about an hour, I don’t have a static IP address so when it asked the question, I answered “N”, it goes through quite a process until it gives me more questions wanting my Portal Log In and Password, continues with the server config for a while longer and finally comes to the “ test login “ page.

To this point I figured I was going OK. Back in the Portal now and I created and submitted the server details, got the reply of Congratulations ..etc. then I continue to fill in the pages as required and submitting them at the end of the process. After all that I try to download the server information, click the “initiate” button, then I see nothing, not a thing happens. I can leave things running all night and when I get up in the morning, still nothing.

Where I am thinking my problem lies is that Tony set the server up manually, and I have read somewhere on the portal pages that I am now not able to reconfigure the server from the portal pages, is this correct, if so, am I able to delete my old server information from the main AllStar server itself then setup a whole new server using the setup pages on the Portal ?

Getting to be a little bit desperate here as, like I say, it takes a good hour to set up the server each time I run the Acid disc over it again, so I am now trying to not have to do that again. Can any of you guys give me any information where things are going wrong or maybe point me toward a page that I can read about it.

Thanks people.
