not to use the infamous "Packages" management tool ever again!
I had a few niggles with the Config File Editor, and I thought a remove and reinstall of the tbm-configedit module would do the trick.
After all, it's a clean install from a 2.6.2.3 ISO, no special customization done yet, just a couple of modules installed from the same Package manager... let's give it a whirl. OK, tick the box to remove it, click on "Delete", and...
BANG! The whole GUI is gone!!! Almost nothing left in the web root, almost nothing in the /maint folder. Luckily, the /admin was still there. Pointing to the IP of the box, a nice Apache 2 welcome page.
<panic mode on>
Well, take it on the chin and reinstall tbm-GUIcore...
yum install tbm-GUIcore
blah blah no package blah blah!
WHAT?
WTF guys, this is sick. Not only the GUI was gone, but also the repos were gone!!! What is wrong with you? I had the sheer luck to have more than one PBX out in the field where I could get the missing files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ for the trixbox repositories, and I could get the tbm-GUIcore back. I had to reinstall a few non-standard modules (tbm-munin and tbm-phpmyadmin) but at the end I got the system back by the skin of its teeth.
<panic mode off>
Still, the "trixbox" package itself is listed as not installed in the package manager web GUI. 8-O
The system works tho, I'm not keen on touching it! What would happen if I decide to go ahead and install the trixbox package?
If you have a sacrificial box to experiment with, and you are happy to tinker with it and risk a reinstall from scratch, go ahead.
You have been warned!
P.S. BTW, I'd love to know why some system passwords (amp109, amp111, passw0rd) are STILL HARDCODED!!! Fixing this - once and for all - it's long overdue. Is trixbox CE becoming abandonware?
