SEP Management Console Log on failure / port conflict

ipi's picture

Hello,

I have been running SEP 11 on w2k3 2003 R2 SBS for a year and a half.  I recall spending a lot of time on the phone with Symantec's support to get it up and running.

Recently I was forced to uninstall SEP and reinstall it.  Since the reinstall Ihave not been able to log on to the SEPmanagement console.

I feel like I have read just about every post to try to resolve this on my own but have had no luck.

SEP is installed on my DC.  Other applications running on the DC are Back Up Exec and Apache Server.  Apache is configured to run on port 80.

During the SEP install I elected to install a custom web site and use the embedded database.  After the install I created a new IP address (192.168.100.107) and changed the Symantec Website to use this new IP address in IIS.  The default website uses 192.168.100.106, which is the IP address of the DC.

I have tried about every TCP port address I've seen on here (8080, 8083, 8005, 8006,...) and none have worked.  Each time I change the potrt address in IIS I also update the conf.properties file to use the new port number and then stop and restart the SEP service.  I have also tried all of these port combunations with teh Apache serive stopped, also to no avail.

Nothing ususual (at least to my untrained eye) shows up in the application log.

Here are the results of my most recent netstat -a

Hi

This is the problem I guess ! 

During the SEP install I elected to install a custom web site and use the embedded database.  After the install I created a new IP address (192.168.100.107) and changed the Symantec Website to use this new IP address in IIS.  The default website uses 192.168.100.106, which is the IP address of the DC.

This issue can happen if the SEPM web server in IIS is set to bind to a specific IP address instead of (All Unassigned) which is the default.

  1. To correct this go to the Properties dialog of the Default Web Site (or the site configured during the install) in the IIS management console and change the IP address binding back to (All Unassigned).
    Here is the document , make it to all unassigned it should work fine.

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/2326c6a13572aeb788257363002b62aa/86368136366e1ad78025734e004734d9?OpenDocument

    If the above does not work, place the scm server log as explanined in this document

Thanks.  I just tried that

Thanks.  I just tried that with the same result (failed to log on to server...)

The reason I created the new IP address is that this is one of the steps we performed during the first install when Symantec's tech helped me get SEP up and running.

Hi

Make it to all unassigned, try starting the service, it will faile then post the scm log here... It always should be unassigned.

HI

ipi's picture

Thank you Rafeeq,the first

Thank you Rafeeq,

the first link doesn't seem to apply, as this is the DC.  The local admin and the network admin are one in the same for this machine (or so it seems).  I did try to log in as local admin and there is only the option to log in to the domain.

The second article seems seems to discuss an issue that is unrelated to mine as they discuss getting blank pages after loggin in.

The reason I uninstalled and reinstalled is that my server had some serious issues, so I had to uninstall and reinstall all the software.

Hello Rafeeq, I have not set

Hello Rafeeq,

I have not set a different app pool for SEPM.  I checked the existing app pools and I see:
DefaultAppPool;
ExchangeApplication Pool;
ExchangeMobileBrowseApplicationPool.

Thanks

Hi IPI, You mentioned that

Hi IPI,

You mentioned that you can see the 3 app pools in IIS manager. Could you please check if all of them are started as well.

SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE error is returned if the app pool has stopped.

PLease check the KB: 

PLease check the KB:  http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security....

It has the same error "Service not available" mentioned in the symptoms.

Thank you Aniket, I checked

Thank you Aniket,

I checked everything listed in KB artilce 2007122815441848.  All the settings were already set as indicated in the article.

the only thing i was unsure of is the user name and password setting in the second step.  It's listed here as IUSR_DELL2600 (DELL2600 is the name of the server)

Hi

is this a DC?

Rafeeq

Rafeeq's picture

Hi

If its on DC then it should be domain accouts

it should be domain \IUSR do u see that
if not create a new account ,set a pass and put in SEPM website.
