System Management Homepage server could not be started successfully

Hi,
I am trying to log in to SMH in a hp ux rx3600 server using a web browser through port 2301, but the following error appears:
Error:
The System Management Homepage server could not be started successfully.
Can you please help me to resolve this problem?
Thank you.

Re: System Management Homepage server could not be started successfully

thank you, but having very little experience with this commands, i can execute those commands, i receive some output, but i don't know how to interpret them. so i need a more guided help, step by step. for example: when i execute: #cat /etc/group | grep hpsmh, the output is only: hpsmh:104:, while in that thread is: hpsmc::103:hpsmh
hpsmh:104:
and the author concludes that "It was a group id missing in /etc/group". am i missing it too? if yes, how can i fix it? thank you.

I don't know what hpsmc is for, I don't have it either on my servers and it's working.

give me the output of #smhstartconfig

#ps -ef|grep -i smh

What about the logs in:

/var/opt/hpsmh/logs/smh.log
/opt/hpsmh/logs/error_log

I don't know about your OS and SMH version, but the copyright 2007 in your attachment suggests it is quite old. Maybe an update will solve the problem and even gives you more functionality.

Hope this helps!

httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 10.1.23.34 for ServerName

what your /etc/hosts file looks like?

Looks like a name-resolution problem between your client and server.

Did you try to run the smh from your web browser directly from the server? i.e. http://localhost:2301

Re: System Management Homepage server could not be started successfully

hi,

what exactly are you typing in the url bar to get to the server?

have you tried using port 2381 as well, the earlier versions were abit buggy from my experience?

https://ipaddress:2381

to start the smh in a web browser directly on the server

#smh -F

should start it without security warnings locally. If your doing this from a pc attached you might need to export the display to your machine
