Cannot Login to Gateway Manager

Using VM 2.201 I cannot log into the gateway manager.  Either no response or error message "cannot connect to backend process".  Same admin account has no problem in accessing Webadmin.

Many errors in the ACC Core Daemon :

  • Hi Simon,

  • Hakan, it's not a VMWare installation, it's on dedicated hardware.  Plenty of disk space.  It happens every few days to a week or so now... also occasionally get a message about "too many files" (I'll try to get an exact message quoted here next time it happens).  The problem is that it's down when I need it the most, so I end up rebooting so I can service the customer.

  • Hi Bruce,

    thanks for the feedback. If it happens again could you please also check whether you have write access on /var/storage via ssh before you reboot?

    Will do.  I suppose checking as root is fine?  Are we looking for the volume going read-only?

  • I suppose checking as root is fine?


    Yes.

    Are we looking for the volume going read-only?


    Seems to be one of several possibilities. BangkokBob's log file entries indicate that there is a filesystem problem and this can quite affect the login.

    Regards, Hakan
  • The exact error I'm getting when logging into Gateway Manager is:

    "Login failed: #10500 - connection to backend not established"

    Logging into Webadmin does work, and a reboot brings back the access.

    Checked the /var/storage volume:  I was able to create a test directory and test file fine while the Gateway Manager access was down.  A check with mount shows all file systems are mounted at R/W.  Doesn't look like a file system issue.  Also ran df and no partition shows over 26% usage, so not a space issue either.

    I did find some clues in the core daemon log; looks like a ton of errors, and there's that "too many files" error floating in there.  I'm going to PM you the file so you can take a look.
