Environment

Novell iManager 2.6

Situation

After upgrading an OES1 Linux server from iManager 2.5 to iManager 2.6, the main page, as well as the Available Novell Plug-in Modules page is blank.

Resolution

Edit the following file:
/var/opt/novell/tomcat4/webapps/nps/WEB-INF/config.xml

and change the following line (see changes in bold)

<setting>
<name><![CDATA[ShouldModuleDownload]]></name>
<value><![CDATA[true]]></value>
</setting>

to

<setting>
<name><![CDATA[ShouldModuleDownload]]></name>
<value><![CDATA[false]]></value>
</setting>

Save your changes to the config.xml and restart tomcat4
(rcnovell-tomcat4 restart).

Once you restart Tomcat4 and log back in, you will be able to see the front login page.

Making the change above turns off the ability to download plug-ins automatically, however it will still allow you to  manually install plug-ins that you have manually downloaded from the web.

This is currently under investigation.
