I have virtualmin running happily away on my server. Today for the first time I rebooted the server itself and noticed that almost none of my websites could be reached.
I called the datacenter and the sysadmin said ‘my networking is not starting properly, there is a problem with my interfaces file’.
Basically even though I have dozens of sites on the server, all with their own dedicated ip address, the server itself is only showing 2 used ip’s when it is rebooted.
He was able to get the sites back up, but the problem is not solved. Basically I was told to search google, which I did a lot.
Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this problem myself?
I am running debian 6.0 and have all the latest virtualmin/webmin updates installed.
Well, if it’s indeed a problem with the interface file as your datacenter suggested, we’d probably need to take a look at your /etc/network/interfaces file.
Could you either paste in it’s contents to this thread, or attach it as a file?
Keep in mind, he did something to get the sites back up for now, though I don’t think they will come back up if I reboot again. Not sure if that effects the interfaces file you are seeing now or not.
