Topic : won't let me set a static IP

Posted By: MCHammer on September 20, 2017, 9:36 pm

I filed a ticket early this morning but there has been no response yet, so posting here to see if anyone knows the answer...

I migrated a working VPS with webuzo from one of my hosts to another.

When I got it running on the destination, I used the main Webuzo screens to set the new static IP.

However, *It won't let me set any static IP*.

I do not see a way to attach a screenshot here - but it shows me the blue screen with the gray box that gives me the option of YES or NO (see screenshot).

I can select YES but when I try it does absolutely nothing! I see a brief blink of the cursor at the lower left then it is just as if nothing happened. It just sits there.

Is there a way to set static IP via the command line or other method, since this is not working?

Thanks!

Allright, I got tired of waiting with my system down.

I did the following to fix it:

1. Exited out of the webuzo console into a terminal console.

2. Used ifconfig -a to figure out what network interface was being used (eth1)

3. Created a Centos style script at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
here's an example

PHP Code

 DEVICE=eth0

 TYPE=Ethernet

 ONBOOT=yes

 BOOTPROTO=none

 IPADDR=192.168.1.5

 PREFIX=24

 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

 IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes

 NAME="System eth0"

4. restarted the network with # service network restart

5. Now machine is connected (temporarily) to internet until the next reboot

6. Opened up webuzo settings using a web browser

7. Set the correct IP in the main webuzo settings

8. Rejoice at having my server working again.

Hope it helps someone else who faces this.
