Hi Jeremy,

Yes, its indeed a turnkey appliance. Yeh, I have goolgled google out I think as not heaps found apart from a reference to a post on here about a similar issue but no data present in the system. It was recommend to run the script again (or similar) if no data present. I have since looked for my last back up in preperation and now hot an bothered that as I cant find them?

Ok, my last resort before running the init script is to perform a back up via SSH/WinSCP as I used the web interface before. I'll have a google on how to do this as I'm green re mysql. Indeed is it actually possible to get a backup of the DB. Rembering I have no web interface for bamboo yet, so ssh my only option.

Using WinSCP/SSH I can connect to it, just not sure where to go to get a backup. 

Thanks

Assuming that this is a TurnKey appliance you could try re-running the init (firstboot) scripts and see if that's what's going on. Make sure that you have a good backup first (in the unlikely event that something gets broken) then:

turnkey-init

Alternatively you might be able to search through the Bamboo settings (perhaps there is something there?) or maybe even google might help you find what you're after and guide you how to manually tweak it...

Ok, I suppose its a learing curve. Curiosity got the better of me I ran the init script. Went through the initial setup rebooted. And yeh its broken. Now I'll look for the files related to web interface. I have a feeling that unless I use the exact same passwords for i.e. root,mysql,admin etc it may have caused the error below. 

Ok sorry it was me before with url. Error is as before. I hit the page get a very basic renderd web logon. Login and although address in the url is correct this time its still a page not fond error.

I'll continue to research.

Firstly; even if the website is/was broken then Webmin and phpMyAdmin should both still work (as well as SSH). Unless you adjusted Apache settings, phpMyAdmin (which uses Apache) should still work (the redirect to your old site, is most likely in Bamboo itself). Webmin has it's own server built in and so should work regardless. If it doesn't then your problem is either nothing to do with your server; or things are SERIOUSLY messed up on your server!

Next; TKLBAM is the best way to do backups. To use it the way t was intended you need an AWS account and your appliance needs to have clear access to the internet. Unless you have a ton of stuff on your server the storage prices are really cheap (last time I checked it was ~$0.14/GB/mth - I usually pay about $0.05 cents a month for the backups of 4 different servers (by default it will grow over time, but I don't keep many old backups).

Finally; the init scripts should reset the passwords so in theory it shouldn't matter. Obviously in reality something didn't go quite according to plan.

Probably one of the first things to do is to try restarting Apache and see what happens (e.g. see if you get an error):

service apache2 restart

Copy/paste the output into a new post

To dig a little deeper, have a look at your Apache error log. IIRC it should be:

cat /var/log/apache2/error.log

Chances are that will just repeat the errors you just saw when you tried to restart it, but perhaps there's something else there... Post that too if you want, also double check what 'sites' are enabled:

ls -la /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

It should show a file (actually a symlink) called 'bambooinvoice' which points to /etc/apache2/sites-available/bambooinvoice Assuming that's the case (and there aren't any other sites enabled) then you can compare the contents of that config file against what it should be.

But I just saw you updated and said that you are getting the same error as before... So perhaps scratch most of the above...

If you have now successfully reset the server URL and it is still the same, then I suggest that you clean your browser cache (and cookies) and see if that helps...

To rule out DNS issues you could hardcode the site (temmporarily) into your hosts file.

Great feed back thanks Jeremy I have learnt a bit about trouble shooting from your post above.

Ok, been very busy the last fews days only now getting back to my issue. The issue is now with loging on to the bamboo interface.

I ended up building a new server (vm) using the Turnkey ISO and it went as planned during installation. I then browsed to the PHPMyadmin site on the server i.e. :12322 succesfully imported my backup into mysql and everything looks fine no errors I can see the data etc.  Now for the daft bit. I can get to logon page which renders fine now, but I cant for the life me login with the email and password I thought I had setup. In other words I cant login to the bamboo system web interface. So my question is how can I go about changing the logon user/password info.

I have access to SSH,  and the PHPMyAdmin page on the server. Using the credetials at install.

Appreciate your help.

Glad you got it sorted.

DOH!

I used the forgot password link on the login page. Entered an older email address and presto recived the new password to login. Its all good now.

Thanks again Jeremy
