Hi, On Sun, Dec 8, 2019 at 5:29 AM fmiser <fmiser(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hmm. I didn't understand that this worked before. I thought you were logging into the machine using SSH and then using lynx or links2. Do you have any idea if there's a firewall in place which may be blocking port 5762? (or maybe all ports except e.g. 22, 80 and/or 443?) Well, now that you "unconfigured" the reverse proxy I guess the above is to be expected: the reverse proxy setup should make sure the above works through some extra apache configuration. Ok. But did you try the situation with the commented-out Should I be concluding that you get no error with links2 over http://localhost:5762/login.pl from the last remark ("same errors as above")? or does that stop working? If it kept working after changing the IP, my main question would be: did you restart the ledgersmb service after you edited /etc/default/ledgersmb ? Also, which version of Debian did you install? I saw above that you said "fresh installation of Debian", but is that Buster or Stretch or Sid or ...? If this is Buster, I think we might be banging on the wrong door: in that case, we probably should be looking in the "ledgersmb.service" (or something named like it) file to change the starman startup parameters. I don't have a Debian 10 handy right now, so if you let me know which Debian version, I'll spin one up and see what the package looks like in installed form (note that Jaime maintains the package; I just know how to analyse it).

Hoping for the best, I went looking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ locate ledgersmb | grep .service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ledgersmb.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ledgersmb.service /usr/share/ledgersmb/conf/systemd/ledgersmb-development_plackup.service /usr/share/ledgersmb/conf/systemd/ledgersmb_plack-fcgi.service /usr/share/ledgersmb/conf/systemd/ledgersmb_plackup.service /usr/share/ledgersmb/conf/systemd/ledgersmb_starman.service /var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-helper-enabled/ledgersmb.service.dsh-also /var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-helper-enabled/multi-user.target.wants/ledgersmb.service ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But which of those might matter? Well, if it is port 5762 that I'm trying to deal with... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ for d in $(locate ledgersmb | grep service ); do if grep -q 5762 $d; then echo $d;fi; done /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ledgersmb.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ledgersmb.service /usr/share/ledgersmb/conf/systemd/ledgersmb_plackup.service /usr/share/ledgersmb/conf/systemd/ledgersmb_starman.service ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first one is a symlink pointing to the second one. That one has this section in the middle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ExecStart=/usr/bin/starman \ --listen localhost:5762 \ -I lib \ -I old/lib \ bin/ledgersmb-server.psgi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I tried changing "localhost" to 172.20.6.16 and restarted ledgersmb, sometimes using the old method "/etc/init.d/ledgersmb restart" or the systemd way ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # service ledgersmb restart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No change. From "inside" (logging in over SSH and running "links2") I got a login prompt using the URL http://localhost:5762/login.pl but "connection refused" error using the URL http://172.20.6.16:5762/login.pl From outside, using another browser on the LAN I get a "cannot establish connection" using the URL http://172.20.6.16:5762/login.pl The next file I check is /usr/share/ledgersmb/conf/systemd/ledgersmb_plackup.service It too has a section in the middle mentioning "localhost" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ExecStart=/usr/bin/plackup \ --listen localhost:5762 \ -I lib/ \ -I old/lib/ \ --workers 3 \ --access-log $LOG \ --server Starman \ -R "bin, lib, old/lib" \ bin/ledgersmb-server.psgi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I changed "localhost" to "172.20.6.16". Same browser behavior as above. Somewhere in all this I find a reference to this file /usr/share/ledgersmb/conf/systemd/ledgersmb_starman.service At the top it says: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # Place this in /etc/systemd/system/ledgersmb_starman.service # systemctl enable ledgersmb_starman # service start ledgersmb_starman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So I change "localhost" to "172.29.6.16" and copy the file as instructed, ran the commands, and got this error: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # service start ledgersmb_starman start: unrecognized service ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At this point, I'm not actually sure I have un-done all the things I have tried. But so far none of the files I've change seem to have any effect. I'm don't think I care if I have a reverse proxy running or not - but I failed to get Apache as a reverse proxy to work either. I must be missing something! -- f
