linux web interface

[Jdeane]

i'm having problems trying to get the linux web interface to work.


I've installed the latest beta and have edited the esets.cfg file as shown below, I restart the app but when I try to browse using the local pc http://127.0.0.1:8081 it returns 'could not connect to host 127.0.0.1 (port 8081)'

If i browse to http://127.0.0.1 i get the normal Apache welcome screen.

What else needs setup?

[wwwi]
# Settings for ESETS Web Interface configuration module

# agent_enabled = yes/no
# Enables operation of the esets_wwwi.
agent_enabled = yes

# listen_addr = "address"
# Address (IP or name) where esets_wwwi listens for HTTPS client connections.
# If set to 0.0.0.0 then esets_wwwi listens on all available network interfaces.
listen_addr = "0.0.0.0"

# listen_port = port
# TCP port where esets_wwwi listens for HTTPS client connections.
# You may have to open this port in your firewall.
listen_port = "8081"

# username and password needed for accessing the interface (required)
username = "admin"
password = "admin"

wwwi agent uses secure conection https.

Try to use IP that has been assigned to your LAN by your provider. For example my IP is 192.168.1.1 so I use https://192.168.1.1:8081.

still getting the failed to connect https:\\192.168.42.160:8081

3 of us have been trying to test this on different pc's and none of us can get this to work.

if you're on your linux machine, use:

http://127.0.0.1:8081

of - whatever your linux machine's IP is - the example 192.168.1.1 would only work if you are using that private network IP - 127.0.0.1 being localhost, should work if you're using the workstation itself.

[Jdeane]

as stated tried https and http nither connect to the local address at port 8081

using http://127.0.0.1 brings up the normal Apache welcome screen adding :8081 results in an unable to open message.

are you sure that the service has been started on the linux box?

[Jdeane]

i've been using the command '/etc/init.d/esets_daemon restart' each time I make a change to the config.

[root@jon-linux ~]# ps -fade | grep ese
root 2523 1 0 09:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/esets_daemon
root 2524 2523 0 09:49 ? 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/esets_daemon
root 4393 4379 0 12:58 pts/1 00:00:00 grep ese
[root@jon-linux ~]# ps -fade | grep nod
root 1912 1 0 09:00 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
root 1941 1912 0 09:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon
root 1966 1941 0 09:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon
root 4395 4379 0 12:58 pts/1 00:00:00 grep nod

not sure if the last ps for nod reflects Eset or other linux modules.

Do you have to start the web part seperatly? if so how?

[Jdeane]

anyone any more thoughts?

Jon

[webyourbusiness]

other than you have the linux firewall blocking 8081, no - I have no more ideas. Are you running ipchains or iptables or some other kind of firewall on the machine?

[Jdeane]

no firewall running at all. 3 of us have tried, each with a different flavour of Linux and none of us have got it to work. Starting to think it is a myth regarding the web interface...

I'll try tomorrow if I get time, I have 4/5 nix machines in the office.
