Add IP Address - Missing Device Name ETH0

[prgs1971]

My server is a VPS from Linode with a fresh install(today) of Centos 64 bits

I have installed today the last stable release of Kloxo-MR, 6.5.0.f-2013080701, following this instructions https://github.com/mustafaramadhan/klox ... nstall.txt

Now i need to setup the default DNS template for the server but when i click in "Add DNS Template" in Admin it gives me a alert that says "no_ip_address".

If i go to Server > Ip Addresses and try to add the first Ip Address in the field "Device Name" the drop down menu is empty, but should have at least eth0 as an option.

If i try to  add the IP address without any option in "Device Name" i get a alert  saying "some_other_host_uses_this_ip"

I have tried to:
 - Re Read Ipaddress
 - Restart Network:
     [root@hostname ~]# service network restart
     

Code: [Select]

Shutting down interface eth0:                              [  OK  ]
     Shutting down loopback interface:                        [  OK  ]
     ioctl: Invalid argument
     Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
     Bringing up interface eth0:  
     Determining IP information for eth0... done.          [  OK  ] - Restart Kloxo
 - Restart the Centos Server

Nothing have resolved the problem, but i am getting that error ioctl: Invalid argument when i restart the network... can it be that this error causes the problem?

Useful Information:

Inform here for running 'ifconfig' ssh. Also 'cat /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0.

[prgs1971]

Thank you for the quick reply

With your request i found the error.

[root@hostname ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0

Code: [Select]

####
# eth0 default configuration
#
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"

Addding the missing lines :

Code: [Select]

IPADDR=123.456.789.123
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=123.456.789.1
try again:
[root@hostname ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0

Code: [Select]

####
# eth0 default configuration
#
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
IPADDR=123.456.789.123
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=123.456.789.1
TYPE="Ethernet"

Now in Kloxo-MR i click in Re Read IP Addresses and ETH0 appears in the drop down menu.

Without adding any IP Address i have tried again to add a DNS Template and now is possible to add it without assign first a IP Address.

What is the best pratice:
- add always the IP Address before set the firs DNS template?
- add just the DNS template?

Need change 'BOOTPROTO="dhcp" to 'BOOTPROTO="static"' because Kloxo-MR (also other panels) not work for dhcp.

[prgs1971]

That is strange because i have my production VPS is working wit this setup without any problem

[root@production-server ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Code: [Select]

# Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=987.654.321.987
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=987.654.321.1
But i will change it anyway

I still get this error  ioctl: Invalid argument when i restart the network

What can be the origin of this issue?

[MRatWork]

need reboot your server.

[prgs1971]

Since the Kloxo_MR installation i have reboot the server at least 3 or 4 times.

I reboot it again and still have the error ioctl: Invalid argument

[MRatWork]

ioctl not related to ip address but hd configuration (LVM).

You have 'bad' os-template.

[prgs1971]

So i need to contact Linode support to solve this or i can do it ?

[MRatWork]

It's 'bad' os-template. Try using another os-template (centos 5/6 and 32/64bit).

[prgs1971]

Linode just have an option to setup Centos 6.2, that i later update to last release.

The only option is to go to another distro.

Can this problem afect anything in the server?

[MRatWork]

Kloxo-MR is Redhat-centric. You can try Redhat/Centos variants like Fedora (Version 11 or 12), Scientific Linux or CloudLinux (?).

For Centos, choose 32bit (i386/i686) if your previous choice was 64bit (x86_64) and vice-versa.

[prgs1971]

CloudLinux seems to be very good but is paid service that i can not afford for now.

Scientific Linux Linux i never heard about it and is not available in The Linode Manager.

Fedora 11 or 12 - Why such a old version?

[MRatWork]

Since version 13, Fedora have different path for development compare to Redhat/Centos.

[MRatWork]

But, if your Kloxo-MR (also reboot process) better abandon 'error message' related to ioctl. You can use it.
