napp-it gui failing to start after updating OmniOS to r151038 LTS

[VenChron]

Hey @gea , earlier today I update napp-it to the newest pro version. Everything was working fine after that update.

Then about an hour ago I decided to update OmniOS from the last LTS (r151030 I think?) and now the napp-it gui isn't coming up. I backed up my BE before each of these updates so I can roll back but I figured you might have a quick answer.

Can be due OpenSSL security updates, napp-it // webbased ZFS NAS/SAN appliance for OmniOS, OpenIndiana and Solaris : OmniOS

After an update to OmniOS 151040 and when napp-it is not responding, you need to add the following commands at console
(or rerun the wget installer):

ln -s /lib/libssl.so /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0
ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0

Thanks gea, I upgraded to 151038 so I'm not sure if the OpenSSL update would still be the issue.

When I try to run the napp-it startup script from the command line, I get the following error messages:

root@Stronghold:~# /etc/init.d/napp-it start
/etc/init.d/napp-it: line 3:   856 Killed                  /var/web-gui/data/tools/httpd/napp-it-mhttpsd -c \*\*.pl -u napp-it -d /var/web-gui/data/wwwroot -p $Port -S -E /var/web-gui/data/tools/httpd/mini_httpd.pem > /dev/null 2>&1
/etc/init.d/napp-it: line 3:   857 Killed                  /var/web-gui/data/tools/httpd/napp-it-mhttpd -c \*\*.pl -u napp-it -d /var/web-gui/data/wwwroot -p 81 > /dev/null 2>&1

I tried creating the symlinks and it got rid of one of the two errors (the napp-it-mhttpsd error remained).

I then reran the wget installer but am still having the same issue.

Is it worth upgrading to 151040 to see if that helps?

When you want to use https, mini_httpd is now a problem on a current OmniOS as there are some updates and deprecated features around OpenSSL, omnios-build/ReleaseNotes.md at r151040 · omniosorg/omnios-build

As there are only minimal updates for mini_httpd I will move the napp-it webserver to Apache as this is maintained by OmniOS (extra repository).

If you need https, you can switch to Apache with the following setup, napp-it // webbased ZFS NAS/SAN appliance for OmniOS, OpenIndiana and Solaris : Extensions and set http on port 81 and https on port 82 (disable autostart of mini_httpd in /etc/init.d/napp-it).

After some tests I will include this in the default setup.

I am running across this issue as well with OmniOs r151040q.

I ran the link commands from the post above which was able to get me back into the http interface, but https is still not possible. Re-running the napp-it installer still nets this log error about the SSL site:

/etc/init.d/napp-it: line 3: 5846 Killed /var/web-gui/data/tools/httpd/napp-it-mhttpsd -c \*\*.pl -u napp-it -d /var/web-gui/data/wwwroot -p $Port -S -E /var/web-gui/data/tools/httpd/mini_httpd.pem > /dev/null 2>&1

I will try moving this to apache and report back. Hopefully my test go well so I can get back under napp-it and omnios support for this project.

Gea,

I am running through the instructions for Apache 2.4, I get stopped at

copy service manifest template /var/web-gui/data/tools/httpd/apache/apache-24.xml to
/lib/svc/manifest/ooce/apache-24.xml

I do not seem to have the apache folder in /var/web-gui/data/tools

I have done a fresh install of OmniOS r151040q and run the `wget -O - www.napp-it.org/nappit | perl` installer 3 times now with reboots in between.

Thank you for all you do with napp-it, if it would be best for me to purchase it first and then put in a support issue, let me know. I was just trying to prove this out with the free version first.

Apache is currently only in 22.dev as a beta.
Some items like appliance group are not working.

When it is ready (estimate in 06.2022), I will include in free/default edition 21.06 also.

Hi Gea

I just saw your post and was wondering if it was possible for you to use the latest version of mini_httpd (1.30) which is working well in https instead of the 1.27 you're actually using?

FYI, I tried to use mini_httpd 1.30 instead of napp-it-mhttpd, but it's not working properly. I can access to the login page (in http and https) but once logged-in I got a connection reinitialized error (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE).
If it's not something you already tried and it's not too much work it would be great to have this solution while waiting for the adaptations to get it working with Apache.

 

[gea]

I discovered the same with mini_httpd 1.30. It worked for the initial screen but not for submenus and I was not able to fix this. As there is nearly no active development on mini_httpd this seems a dead end although it is really a great embedded webserver.

In current napp-it (22.02b, 22.03b, newest 22.dev) Apache is working for https. In current 22.dev it is even possible to disable Apache ex to continue to use the SmartOS/pkgsrc AMP stack.

 

[RonanR]

Ok, too bad. I didn't know if you used a modified version of mini_httpd or not.
I will test Apache version asap!
Thanks a lot for your work!
