Hi, I posted here back in June but didn't get a reply... and I still have the same issue. Fortunately, we had to do a large hardware migration after I posted for help with Pound, so it transpired that these servers weren't needing to be online. But now migration is done - it is URGENT that I get Pound going again and web servers live. PLEASE HELP Here is link to my original mail: http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2008/2008-06/1214199931000#1214199931000 I apologise for the length - but I hope providing clear structured information saves everyone asking the obvious questions. If I have missed anything - please don't hesistate to ask. Many thanks if someone, ANYONE, offers assistance. My original mail follows: ---------- First, thanks for great software (and service) - it worked for me until I broke it! =) I'll get directly to my reason for emailing: Issue ------- When trying to resolve my URL, I get: The service is not available. Please try again later. On proxy box, /var/log/httpd-error.log: [warn] (49) Can't assign requested address: connect to listener on 192.168.0.160:8080 Cause of Issue ----------------- Being a noob, I thought an SSH issue was caused by Pound, which my friend installed. I don't normally work near the proxy box, so I thought I could disable Pound, fix SSH, and then SSH in to re-enable Pound later. SSH it seems is fine regardless of proxy, and now I can't find my note of the command I used to disable Pound, so that I may reverse this. I tried standard poundctl commands, but even poundctl isn't working. I've searched this mailing list, learnt a lot from posts, and googled the subject, but no luck. Server Setup ---------------- FreeBSD 6.2 Pound is in jail. Jail is started as per normal at boot. rc.conf in jail has pound_enable="YES". Pound doesn't start. ---------------- my pound.conf -------------------------- User "xxx" Group "xxx" ListenHTTP Address 192.168.0.161 Port 80 LogLevel 2 # Virtual Host xxxxx.com # Service HeadRequire "Host: .* xxxxx.com/home.*" BackEnd Address 192.168.0.160 Port 8080 End End End --------------- end of pound.conf ------------------------ Tests/Logs -------------- After boot: ps auwx | grep pound - shows nothing. After forcing Pound to start: /usr/jails/proxy.xxxxx.com/usr/local/sbin/pound -f /usr/jails/proxy.xxxxx.com/usr/local/etc/pound.conf ps auwx | grep pound - shows: xxx 940 0.0 1.3 2804 2476 ?? Is 11:42AM 0:00.00 /usr/jails... xxx 941 0.0 1.4 3572 2680 ?? I 11:42AM 0:37.58 /usr/jails... According to posts I've read, 2 processes is normal. Please correct me if I'm wrong. poundctl: Once Pound is running as per above, I try to run poundctl without args, but it only gives me help information - I don't get status of any Listeners, Services, BackEnds - anything. pound.sock Some posts refered to pound.sock, which I thought I may have to reference in using poundctl, but a search of my server doesn't find this file, and I didn't find anything useful in the 4 results Google returns for 'FreeBSD pound.sock'. Nor could I find what its alternative on FreeBSD is. Questions ------------ 1. Before I fix Pound to start at boot, is there a way I can enable listening to get rid of the 'This service is not available error...'? 2. Concomitantly, if I fix this error, will Pound magically start at boot again? 3. If I need to reinstall Pound, other than copying pound.conf, what else may I need to copy or note to reinstall without breaking the original install? Eg any install dir prefixes, SSL stuff, etc noted elsewhere? My friend who installed Pounds isn't available to help at this time, and I don't want to create more server problems. Many thanks and sorry for the long post - I just wanted to avoid a stretched out number of posts in reply to the obvious questions. Send me any questions re info I may have missed - I should be able to answer back pretty quickly. Once again, thanks for great software - it's quite elegant, especially the config file layout - easy for a noob like me.
