  6. Is licensecart a ghost now?!?!

    If you have problems with BlestaCMS, update the plugin to the latest version (1.2.3) and then go to the file /controllers/main.php and find the line: 

    } elseif (isset(CURRENTLANGUAGE) && (null !== CURRENTLANGUAGE) && $this->CmsPages->langExists(CURRENTLANGUAGE)) {

    and replace it with 

    } elseif (defined('CURRENTLANGUAGE') && $this->CmsPages->langExists(CURRENTLANGUAGE)) {

    This will fix the blank page or empty page error (like the @timnboys screenshot).

    great that is just what I need today :(

     

    I tested the Blesta CMS code and the license verification are working fine.  You have the latest version of the plugin installed? Enable the Error reporting and check if the plugin throw an error.

    @Paul what do I do about the blesta_cms plugin from michael dance that doesn't work anymore?

    I don't think this was supposed to happen with that?

    maybe since @cyandark wrote it lately maybe he could help solve that?

    I sent a email yesterday to mike, but without response. :(

    Sorry, but I can't do nothing about the Blesta CMS plugin, due Licensecart hold all the rights over the plugin and all changes needs his approval, but is strange that not works.

    I am glad you found out CentOS 6 is better than Debian 9 lol

    Thanks, CentOS it's much better than Debian IMHO. I will make a last update, When I connect my computer to the VPN I can't access the Server, I can access the server only from the Internet but not inside the VPN, So I added this additional rules: I hope this thread some day can help other people with a similar problem. 

    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s z.z.z.z -j SNAT --to-source y.y.y.y
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d y.y.y.y -j DNAT --to-destination z.z.z.z
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

    I finally found a solution, I re-installed the VPS with CentOS 6 (originally I deployed Debian 9) and I used the following rules:

    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s z.z.z.z -j SNAT --to-source y.y.y.y
    iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d y.y.y.y -j DNAT --to-destination z.z.z.z
    iptables -A FORWARD -s y.y.y.y -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A FORWARD -d z.z.z.z -j ACCEPT

    Now, I can access my server from the internet. :blesta:

    Hi,

    I decided this week wire my house and build a home network, As part of my home network, I purchased an old Xserve from 2009 and I installed macOS Sierra, But the problems start when I try to access the server outside of my network, I forwarded the ports on my Router but I found another problem, My router is inside a big NAT from my ISP. (I stole a diagram from ServerFault that shows my situation)

    4cb7bbbe77f3181cf6c26f83603a7784o.png

    So I thought in two possible solutions:

    • Get a Dedicated IP from my ISP
    • Use a VPN

    First of all, I called to my ISP asking for a dedicated IP address, unfortunately they only offer dedicated IP in business plans (that are kinda expensive), so it's not an option for me.

    So I decided to go with the second option, use a VPN. I purchased a small VPS with two dedicated IP address (x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y) from a very know cloud provider, and then I proceed to install xl2tpd with IPsec in the VPS.

    Installing XL2TPD with IPsec in CentOS 6

    Searching on Google, I found very easy-to-use installation script, that you can find on GitHub here: https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn

    It's very recommendable first of all update the OS dependencies execution "yum update", and then install IPsec. You can do all this in one step: 

    yum -y update && wget https://git.io/vpnsetup-centos -O vpnsetup.sh && sudo sh vpnsetup.sh && chkconfig ipsec on

    And that's been all, You will see in the terminal at the end of the installation your VPN access details, Save this in a secure place.

    Enabling IP Forwarding

    After the installation I tested the VPN on my computer and my Android Phone, and the navigation works pretty well. So in order to get access to my server from the Internet, I configured the VPN on the server, You can find here a detailed explanation how to configure your new VPN in your OS: https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn/blob/master/docs/clients.md

    Now when your server is connected to the VPN, we need to check what is the Local IP assigned by the VPN to our server, For explanation purposes I will use the IP z.z.z.z, The installation script by default adds a DROP policy to the Iptables firewall, so first we need to remove them.

    First we must activate the IP forwarding, to activate it you must modify the following parameters as shown below 

    net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=2
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra=2

    These parameters must be modified, or if they do not exist add them at the end, in the file 

    /etc/sysctl.conf

    Now we will save all the Iptables rules in a file called "rules.v4" 

    mkdir /etc/iptables/
iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4

    Then open the new file with vi or nano. 

    nano /etc/iptables/rules.v4

    Now you need to find those lines in the file and remove them and save the file: 

    -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

    After save the file you need to restore them to Iptables, to update the new rules: 

    iptables -F
iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules.v4
service iptables save
service iptables reload

    Now the final step, you need enable IP Forwarding at the OS level: 

    echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward && sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

    Now, reboot your VPS.

    Forward Local IP

    Now to access your server from the Internet, we need forward the Local IP (z.z.z.z) to the Public IP, I will forward the server to the y.y.y.y IP.

    This step is easy, we only need add some rules to Iptables, this rules will forward all the ports to the local IP. 

    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s z.z.z.z -j SNAT --to-source y.y.y.y
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d y.y.y.y -j DNAT --to-destination z.z.z.z
iptables -A FORWARD -s y.y.y.y -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -d z.z.z.z -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
service iptables reload

    And that is all! Now you can access your amazing server from http://y.y.y.y/ B)
