General :: Server Inaccessible Because Of Duplicate /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Apr 17, 2011
I'm nearly at the end of creating a shell script that automates changing network settings by prompting the user for desired settings, then applying them.
In the course of my development, I created temporary copies of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0_tmp1, for example) so as to not alter the original file. Little did I know that on boot the system would attempt to load each of these kinds of files and associate it with an ethernet connection, in this case eth0.
So..... now there are multiple copies in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts diretory that essentially have the same settings. They are..
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0_tmp1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0_tmp2
Now when the system boots, it attempts to load them all. The boot doesn't appear to complete, and I can't ping, login, or otherwise access the system through convention routes (putty, etc.).
The easy solution would be to delete the tmp files and reboot. Now, how do I do that without being able to log in to the server. It's a VM by the way, if that makes a difference.

When I do service network start it is giving me the error grep : can not find directory ifcfg-ifcfg-eth0....
For some reason it is adding another ifcfg to my ifcfg-eth0 file.

I just installed Fedora 13 on a new Dell XPS desktop and some of the networking files are not created/missing. The computer has Broadcom Gigabit wired card and Asus PCE-N13 wireless card. When I type lspci, I see that Network conroller: RaLink RT2860 and Ethernet controller: Broadcom BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet. So, somehow they are being detected by the OS, but I am not sure if the drivers are installed or why some of the network files are missng.

I've been racking my brains over the past few days trying to figure out why my NIC card (network interface card) won't show up in the ifcfg-eth0 file.When I configure a new server (like this one) I always go to:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and from there I usally see the name of my NIC's manufacturer's name and the hardware MAC address.Then it's only a simple process of entering the server's IP address, netmask and gateway and I'm up and running in no time...But not in this case! the ifcfg-eth0 file is completely blank! There's not ONE single line of config info in it... (?)The server runs an Intel core 2 duo (dual-core) CPU with 1 gig of RAM.
I've even re-formatted the drive and re-installed Centos 5.1 on the darn thing 3 times and it simply won't work.The server cannot resolve when I do a wgetIt also gives me a 'resolution problem in the named configuration'.What I don't understand is that the 2 small LEDs on the Cat 5 cable lights up and flash at what appear to be regular intervals here.

I have just upgraded a CentOS 5.2 box to Centos 5.3
I did have a bridged networking setup for Virtualbox which worked well. eth0 was bridged with br0. br0 boot protocol was DHCP and it sent its DHCP_HOSTNAME to the windows DHCP servers.
since the upgrade the br0 does not get an address but the eth0 does. I found that the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* are getting rewritten.
I figure I may not need to have a bridge any more so I stripped that out to try to get a simple network setup working. I now just have eth0. I edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 so that it looked like this,
~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp

When I setup the server I added multiple ips. Now that I need to edit ip info I can't find any alias files in the network-scripts folder. But restarting server the ips work fine. Is there some where else that this would be stored.

I run a VMware clone of CentOS 5.3, I observe that kudzu [i.e. /etc/init.d/kudzu, from /etc/rc3.d/S05kudzu or /etc/rc5.d/S05kudzu] detects a MAC address change on eth0 and then creates a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.bak file. This .bak file is identical to the original ifcfg-eth0 file except for the value of the HWADDR [i.e. MAC address] parameter. I would be unconcerned but for the fact that /usr/bin/neat indicates that both ifcfg-eth0 AND ifcfg-eth0.bak are 'Active'. The following solution may help others with the same (or similar) problem:

I am having a problem when creating alias in Fedora Core 10. When i create a file like "ifcfg-eth0:1" and put contents in it like
DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=ip addrss
Netmask=Netmask
and when i save settings and restart with "service network restart" the network card does not create any alias like eth0:1 instead it replace the original ip address of eth0 with the ip address i given to eth0:1. So i want to keep both network ips of eth0 and eth0:1.

I can't get even a simple NAT router setup to work. The network topology is dirt-simple:

I've installed Ubuntu Server and set it up 3 weeks ago, it was working fine until today. Just recently, someone IM'd me @ jabber saying that none of services running on it work (http, ftp, svn, jabber, ssh). So I've checked stuff on my PC, and everything seemed to work well (at least for me). I've tried to see if http works via proxy, but it seemed like no. I've called my ISP, on their side everything looks fine, server was accessible via their machines too (well it's obvious). I asked them to see if other networks (TP, GTS Energis, Energis) could connect to it as well, the answer was - no. (I don't think it's firewall, since I didn't even had time to set it up...)

I tried for two days to install ubuntu server to my computer from a cd. Whenever I tried burning to a CD-RW (using two programs at highest and lowest speeds), my cd always said it had corrupt files. So I setup a virtualbox harddisk that was setup tonuse my slave harddisk and installed ubuntu server in virtualbox successfully. Now when I boot my server, it won't connect to my network. Long story short, I have taken lo out of my interfaces and tried resetting my dhcp ip address by releasing and renewing it using dhclient. I have realized that eth0 doesn't exist (it shows up in windows). I think that all I need to do is add eth0 to ubuntu...

I have 2 10gb fiber cards on a server running red hat 5.3, eth4 and eth5. After replacing the eth4 card, it doesnt show up any ifcfg-eth4 file. I tried ifconfig -a, but it doesnt show up in modprobe.conf either, although it is listed when I do a lspci. Should I manually add it? or is there something Im missing here?

I have two servers on a vlan at my datacentre/colocation and previously both servers had public IPs on their eth0 interfaces. The servers are HP ProLiant DL360s - one is a G4 and one is a G5 The newer G5 is now the LAMP server and the G4 has been retired and I want to repurpose it as an iSCSI target using openfiler freenas or similar.
My G5 has public/static IPs lashed to the eth0 physical interface and the eth1 is not configured to do anything yet. The G4 will have both interfaces available - perhaps one for ssh access from one of my static public IPs and the other to be a private IP on the local vlan. Here is what I am trying to get my head around...
The G5
eth0 - Public IP - full LAMP services on two or three virtual interfaces
eth1 - Private IP 192.168.0.1
The G4
eth0 - Public IP for ssh
eth1 - Private IP 192.168.0.2
Because my traffic between eth1 on these boxes is via private IPs on the local private vlan it doesn't add to my quota for bandwidth. How do I go about configuring the routing and gateways and other aspects of this so that I can run a private IP space network between the eth1s and still serve the outside world from the eth0s...
I am afraid that if I assign the private IPs to the eth1 interfaces the routing may either not work or interfere with the access to the production internet facing interfaces (eth0s).

I've noticed that when Linux boots on different machines or with different versions, the network card is assigned to eth0 or to eth1, when there is only one network card. What is the difference and is there any way to tell which one it will be for any machine or version?

I'm installing Webmin on a older DNS server here at work. Can't connect to port 10000 so I checked the server ports via NMAP, looked like the port is closed. I tried to run /etc/sysconfig/iptables but this returned a "permission denied" message. I'm logged in as root, not sure what I'm missing, maybe I'm running the command incorrectly?

I installed Ubuntu Server because I want to learn Linux and I want to learn about servers. I did a newbie tutorial and then shut down. When I booted up today, the files in my home directory were replaced by Access-your-private-data.desktop and readme.txt, but I have no idea why. I followed the instructions in readme.txt and typed ecryptfs-mount-private. It told me
INFO: Your private directory has been mounted.
INFO: To see this change in your current shell:
cd /home/rmob
But if I do ls /home/rmob, it still shows me Access-your-private-data.desktop and readme.txt instead of the files I created there yesterday. Every time I reboot, it tells me
keyctl_search: Required key not available
Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private'
If I try ecryptfs-mount-private again, it still tells me it has mounted it, but still just shows me those same two files. Googling about this tells me this means the directory got encrypted somehow. I tried typing touch ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount which I found in this tutorial, but it didn't make a difference and I can't find any other solution anywhere.

I have setup a dual boot machine which has OS of Windows Vista (32 Bit) / RHEL 5. The LAN Card details are - Atheros L2 Fast Ethernet 10/100 Base T - Controller. The said Network Card works fine with the ADSL Connection in Windows OS, but does not seem to initialise in Linux. When I run "ifconfig" in terminal window it gives away the prompt - "eth0 no such device exists".Although it shoes the loopback adapter (lo) device working fine. I forgot to mention over here, I have just started with Linux. So, I request "the" Linux Gurus to help me out with this one.

I am using FC 2, and I get 'eth0 failed' during startup.
I am configured for DHCP
device is 'inactive' under network device control after reboot
click 'activate', sometimes I can surf, others not.
When I can't get online, sometimes deactivating and reactivating works.
edited connection to 'activate device when computer starts'
eth0 still fails at start-up, and device is inactive.
I am supposed to use FC2 for my schoolwork

If I uncheck and recheck "Enable Networking" in the Network Manager Applet 0.7.996 I would expect the wired network to disconnect (which it does) and reconnect (which it does NOT). So I tried sudo ifdown eth0 and got
Quote:
Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
ifconfig tells me
Quote:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:25:64:e8:18:2c
inet addr:192.168.0.112 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::225:64ff:fee8:182c/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
[code]....
so I am at a loss. How do I stop and restart the network interface short of rebooting the machine?

i know this is crazy, but im using a [URL] and have loaded a copy of "red hat linux 7" on the computer. i have no idea what kind of hardware config/spec stuff i should have in my immediate vision, and if i did i'm not sure how i would make sense of it all. linux loaded fine. didnt save drivers. eth0 not showing in ifconfig report, but lo is connecting to network, other host cannot ping linux and vice versus
can mount a cdrom, but not a usb flash dont quite understand how the load methods work involving /mnt/cdrom/"usbutils-0.86tar.gz" eth0 problems and gnome rpm stupidity keeps me from upgrading sys from old version to a newer version, cant even find the cmd to show me that info, sorry. have usb files i want to mount, dont know how to loAD THE CDROM FOLES, SO EVEN THAT ISNT WORKING OUT HAVE DISCS WITH howtos just need to stay focused on steps to get desired end result, while trying to learn too much info for what im currently doing between all the f!@#@ing windows i have open.
