Upgrade to BlueOnyx 5208R Print

In 2012 a development effort was started by Team BlueOnyx to modernize the Sausalito GUI from the ground up. The goal was to present it with a more responsive and fluid modern theme, a host of new features and functions and to modernize the entire architecture for future OS releases.

It is possible to upgrade an existing BlueOnyx 5107R or 5108R to the new GUI. The mechanism for that involves just installing the new "blueonyx-yumconf" RPM, doing a "yum update" and running the script /usr/sausalito/sbin/SSL_fixer.pl as root from SSH.  However: If you have older third party software (from the BlueOnyx Shop, Solarspeed Shop or Compass Networks Shop) installed on your BlueOnyx, then you should not yet perform such an upgrade until you have confirmed with the vendor that the software is compatible with the new GUI. Otherwise you will loose the GUI pages for managing the third party software until the time that updated PKGs for the third party software become available.

This information is taken from http://www.blueonyx.it/index.php?page=upgrade - thank you to Michael Stauber at Solarspeed.net for this procedure.

Step 1:

Confirm that the box is actually a 5107R or 5108R. Because if it is not, then the next steps will make it pretty unusable.

So confirm that the box is a 5107R *or* 5108R.

#> cat /etc/build 

Check that it *DOES* say this ...

build ****** for a 5107R in en_US

.. or that:

build ****** for a 5108R in en_US

If it says "5107R" or "5108R" it's good for an upgrade. If it shows anything else ... then DO NOT perform the next steps.

Especially DO NOT attempt to use the next steps on a 5106R.

Sorry for repeating myself here, but you know how it goes. Someone will actually do it anyway (despite the warnings) and will kill his server.

Step 2:

Install the BlueOnyx 520XR Yum Repository config:

#> rpm -hUv http://devel.blueonyx.it/pub/BlueOnyx/5200R/el6/blueonyx/i386/RPMS/blueonyx-yumconf-2.1.0-1.noarch.rpm

It doesn't matter if your box is 32-bit or 64-bit. This file is the same for all 520XR architectures and will then use the correct YUM repository for the upgrade and all subsequent updates.

Step 3:

#> yum clean all ; yum update

This will do the update to either 5207R or 5208R depending on your architecture.

Step 4:

Run this script:

#> /usr/sausalito/sbin/SSL_fixer.pl

That will create the now necessary SSL Vhost containers for SSL enabled Vsites.

Step 5:

Login to the GUI at the new URL:

http://<IP>:444/login
https://<IP>:81/login

Step 6:

Enjoy.
