no scrollout webpage after installation.

[Anonymous]

Hello, After installation I can't go to the scrollout webpage, I just get a "This is the default web page for this server" message.

How I installed:

Ubuntu 12.04 new install
Installed openssh
Installed webmin
sudo update and upgrade.
Installed scrollout, hit enter on every question postfix asks.

went to webpage.
Webmin does work on it's port 10000 however.
Could it be because the installation conflicted with webmin?

Webmin has its own webserver, is not using Apache webserver. It should not be any conflict there.
Probably you have a virtualhost or site configured by webmin and overwrites the settings needed by scrollout.

Try to force the update on scrollout side, but before that make sure you don't have the case described above (a default configuration for port 80 made by webmin)

rm -fr /var/www/ver
/var/www/bin/update.sh

It is like a short reinstall.
If that doesn't work, try using a clean system or the ISO.

Hello,
I have var/www/ver
but not /var/www/bin

So probably something went wrong in the installation process?

[Marius Gologan]

Yes, it looks like important parts are missing.
Try to run a new clean installation using the ISO image. It will erase the entire disc.
If that works, you can add Webmin after. The ISO is a Debian 7 64bit, kernel 3.2.
Commands and structure are very similar to Ubuntu, you should not have any difficulties.

installed on clean ubuntu without ssh and webmin,
same error.

Could you tell me what files are in the www/bin folder normally, so I can see if the setup put it somewhere else by chance.

[Marius Gologan]

I just finished two test installations on:

1. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit - on VMware
2. Ubuntu 13.04 64bit - on Amazon EC2
   Both finished without problems.

Make sure you have root access.
Make sure you have unrestricted Internet access during installation.

All installation files are downloaded in /tmp/ and extracted in /tmp/scrolloutf1/.
You can search for scrollout.sh file.

Hello, sorry for the late reply and thanks for your help.

I searched for scrollout.sh and it seems that all the scrollout files were installed to:
/root/scrolloutf1/www

there I have a lot of files and also a bin folder with the scrollout.sh file in.

So I probably installed it into the wrong folder?
Can I just move this or should I reinstall with some other command or something?

[Anonymous]

It should not be there.
Probably you missed this step:
cd /tmp/
Hence, the .tar file was downloaded in root's home instead of /tmp folder.

If part of the installation was already made, it will not run again because the system is not fresh. The intall script looks for postfix, apache etc. If those are in the system, it will stop.

Here is a possible alternative:
1) try moving the /root/scrolloutf1/www folder into /var/
mv -f /root/scrolloutf1/www /var/

2) make all scripts executable:
chmod +x /var/www/bin/*

3) force a fake update which should restore the permisions and structure:
rm -fr /var/www/ver
/var/www/bin/update.sh

Hope those steps will solve your problem.

hi i too install ISO and dont show Web scrollout F1, why...?
/var/wwww is empty

[Marius Gologan]

find / -name "scrollout"

If nothing is found, make sure you have unrestricted internet access during installation.
