    Restarted Linux server, now get "default" Apache page

    I restarted my Linux box earlier due to some updates, and when I started it back, I have been unable to access the HomeSeer front end via web because all I get is the "default" Apache page.

    I have gone through a number of different troubleshooting sites online trying to figure out how to PERMANENTLY set my ServerName to localhost so that it will serve that page by default, but despite trying everything I can find (namely variations of THIS page), I have been unsuccessful.

    Anyone with some tips or tricks to make this right?

    Thanks!

    You can change the port for the Homeseer front end web site by:

    1 - shut down Homeseer via the GUI
    2 - ssh and nano to /usr/local/HomeSeer/Config/settings.ini
    3 - change the following line to something like this to change your web access port.
    gWebSvrPort=7777

    Relating to your Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name message I just started to see these again after some recent updates.

    Easy to fix.

    1 - sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
    2 - add the following line to the end of the text
    ServerName localhost
    3 - where as servername is the same as your hostname on the computer
    4 - then type
    sudo service apache2 restart

    The message you see is harmless but can be irritating.

    Reboot the server after you have finished and you will be able to access Homeseer via port 7777 or another other port you have defined in the configuration file.

      EDIT: If you saw my previous post, forgive me -- has been a long day.

      I rebooted my server, and before I started up HS, I changed the port. From there, I started up HS and was able to access the GUI by adding the port number I changed in the config file to the end of the IP address. Duh.

      Thank you very much for the simple fix.
