Restarting the Web Manager
If the Web Manager stops responding you can perform the following
procedure to restart the Apache web server.
T To Restart the Web Manager
1. Enter the http -k start command as shown in the following screen
example.
2. Enter the ps command with the -ef option and look for a line with
apache, as shown in the following screen example.
If a line like the one shown in the previous screen example appears, the
web application successfully restarted.
Replacing a Boot Image for Troubleshooting
Information in “Boot File Location” on page 408 in Appendix B, “Advanced
Boot and Backup Configuration Information” gives an OnBoard administrator
who has the root password enough background to be able to boot from an
alternate image if the need arises and if the Web Manager is not available.
Network boots are recommended for troubleshooting. For example, if you
want to test a new release of the software to make sure a problem is fixed, or if
the removable flash memory becomes corrupted, you could download the
software to a tftpboot server, and then save it to the removable flash after
testing, using the create_cf command.
