Groupwise web access server trouble

[tom11011]

Well, I'm making headway bringing up a new machine as we will be decomishioning an old box.

So far, I have groupwise installed and the GWIA. Now, I'm trying to install web access. All seemed ok during the install but it does not appear in my groupwise view. I went to the console and typed

strtweb5

and received the following error message.

CMC initialization of the Groupwise Domain Database failed (c002)

I looked up the error and it said that I need to install from nwadmin32 and to re-install. Well, nwadmin32 is what I'm using, but the installation was from the cdrom so I don't think that message was correct. Anyways, I tried re-installing and received the same error message.

Any ideas?

Additional remarks, I did create the gateway in NDS but receive the following error when trying to view the details.

error loading gwgsq255.dll

then it proceeds on to the details.

Yes, gwia and MTA on the same box.

additional info

I managed to get a little farther.

The server does start but when I browse on IE to the ip address, netware management portal comes up. We don't need this if that is the problem. It comes up on port 8008. I tried port 7205 directly but still brings up the portal.

 

[tom11011]

hmmm.. Im thinking the webserver is not running, but is that possible if I can see the management portal?

What is the version of NetWare being used, and what is the service pack level?

Go into TCPCON and see if port 80 is even being used.

The Novonyx load file is NSWEB, to unload use NSWEBDN

Don't bother your self in using the port 7205 to try and get to the WebAccess pages, that is the port the used to for the WebAccess agent to talk to the Post Office agent.

The managment portal is a web server of it's own. It does not rely on any other web service to run, so Novonyx is not user to run the portal. One thing you can do is to access the portal and go into the configuration of the portal. Ensure it is not listening on port 80.

hi, where is tcpcon ??

 

[tom11011]

ok, I loaded tcpcon

It appears to be listening on 80

Here is one of the lines

IP host.domain.com 80 0.0.0.0 None listen

where host.comain.com resolves to the ip address of the server.

more info

strtweb5 reports

exhtml.nlm couldn't load because it couldn't find public symbol. This is for groupwise 5.5

Just to refresh everyone, this server has been brought up to replace an old box with a running webserver

 

[terry712]

sorry i'm usless to you - i always use apache

it sounds like the config file isnt correct
in apache it's the httpd.conf - no idea with novonyx

 

[tom11011]

Well, I'm going to reboot early wed morning and see if that makes a difference.

 

[tom11011]

update

I rebooted the server and still do not have success.

I unloaded the portal.nlm program for the heck of it, when I browse to the internet address, I get an error in IE that says

The page cannot be displayed
along with HTTP 405 - resource not allowed

At this point I'll try anything.

Thanks everyone, I solved the problem.

2 buried config files contained an old IP address. Apparently this server had a different IP at one time.
