TaskSmart W2200 1.01 Release Notes

The following issues are known in this release of the TaskSmart W2200 appliance software. All known issues in release 1.0 are resolved with these exceptions.

Web Server Configuration Application

Web Server (Apache)

Issue: Apache httpd process may not restart when making changes in Configuration > Web Server > Module Setup.
Resolution: Click the Configuration > Web Server > Module Setup > Update button again to restart Apache.

Issue:  When logged in as administrator, Configuration>Web Server>VirtualSites>Add Virtual Site/Edit Additional Content Publishers Add and Remove buttons do not create or remove a link in the user's home directory to the virtual site although the user is added or deleted to/from the virtual site and a message states the the site is updated when either button is clicked.
Resolution: Click the Update button to add or delete the link in the user's home directory to the virtual site. The Current Users box accurately shows the users authorized to publish content to the virtual site.

Issue: Individual virtual sites cannot support SSL because each needs its own SSL IP port.
Resolution: Apache cannot have more than one SSL virtual host on the same IP address/port combination at one time. The root web site may use SSL.

Network

Issue: When multiple NFS entries are present, deleting an NFS entry other than the first will cause future deletions to be performed on the entry above the one selected. Entries are not deleted from /etc/fstab and the deleted NFS entry stays on the screen.
Resolution: Login as root. Where <local mount point> is the Local Mount Point to be deleted, type umount <local mount point>. Remove the subdirectory for <local mount point>. Edit /etc/fstab and delete the entry for <local mount point>.

Issue: If one interface is configured for DHCP, upon logout, the web server configuration application will display an error that an interface is configured for DHCP.
Resolution: The DHCP address is intended for initial configuration only. A web server will normally use a static IP address. The interface should have a static IP address or be disabled to prevent this warning message.

System Management

Issue: The system console reports "hdc: Bad Special Flag 0x03" on screen after several seconds.
Resolution: This is a benign error and no adverse effects have been observed.

General

Issue: Multiple administrators may access sites and make changes concurrently. Last save will override other users on the same site information.
Resolution: Coordinate administration activities to prevent this or check settings afterwards to verify values.

Issue:  The URL displayed at the end of Rapid Startup to reconnect the user to the GUI in the case where the IP address has been changed sometimes shows the wrong IP address.
Resolution: Verify the IP address is correct before clicking on the URL and cut and paste it to the address line of the web browser and edit it.

Issue: A  backup created from TaskSmart W2200 appliance software version 1.0 cannot be restored if a system is quick restored with the version 1.01 Quick Restore CD. Version 1.0 backups must be restored to a version 1.0 system only. The restore will appear to be successful, but virtual sites and SNMP settings will not be restored properly.
Resolution: Systems configured with version 1.0 must be upgraded to version 1.01 in order for the data store to be updated to a new format. Once the system has been successfully upgraded to version 1.01, the backup files will be compatible with version 1.01. The procedure to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1:

1. Backup all data.
2. Perform the version 1.01 rpm upgrade.
3. If all goes well, backup the data again in the version 1.01 format.
4. If the upgrade is not successful, perform a quick restore of the system using the version 1.0 Quick Restore CD and repeat steps 2 and 3.

Changes Made Outside of the Web Server Configuration Application

Issue: Manual changes to configuration files from the command shell may cause the web server configuration application to become inaccurate.
Resolution: Use the web server configuration application to configure the appliance.  Avoid changes through the command shell.

Issue: linuxconf prompts user to change file ownership, permissions and/or start packages.
Resolution: Avoid using linuxconf. If you must use it, respond NO to all prompts to change permissions, ownerships, or start packages.

Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser

Issue: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 on Windows 95 or Windows 98 clients cannot access the web server configuration application using the https://<webserver>:3201/ address due to a Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 SSL bug.
Resolution: Upgrade to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5.

Netscape Browser

Issue: Access to the web server configuration application which uses SSL security from Microsoft Windows versions of Netscape Navigator 6.x or Netscape Communicator 6.x which uses TLS security by default causes browser to show unsecure access status.
Resolution: Use Netscape 4.7x.or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5

Issue: Accepting a certificate permanently may cause Netscape 4.7x to receive an I/O when accessing the web server configuration application.
Resolution: Accept certificates only for each session.
