So just to be clear, you're saying that you do see events if you use Firefox?

Yes, they are there in firefox, just not in IE8 (it keeps saying "loading"). All the rest is visible in IE8.

Try disabling the 'compatibility' mode in IE8.. I've had the same problem.
Just click the button next to the URL bar.

OK... same here basically.


[root@glyndwr ~]# asl -u
Checking for updates..
ASL version is current: 2.2 [OK]
APPINV rules are current: 200908061145 [OK]
CLAMAV rules are current: 200908051623 [OK]
GEOMAP rules are current: 200908061144 [OK]
MODSEC rules are current: 200908271736 [OK]
OSSEC rules are current: 200812011901 [OK]
[root@glyndwr ~]# rpm -qa asl
asl-2.2-1.el4.art


And no access to ASL via Plesk. No asl-httpd installed. Nothing other than ossec in yum updates for asl-2.0 channel.

I've not tried to manually install anything, not have I deliberately updated anything as yet. I'll look at the other threads first to see what's going on before I comment further.

OK, I see what's happening.

Although asl -u does SOMETHING -- it upgrades "asl" to 2.2 and removes access to the GUI from its normal place in Plesk (though not from 8443:/asl)-- nothing significant actually gets installed - none of the asl-* stuff.

Scott/Mike -- this asl -u behaviour doesn't seem like a good thing?

And although yum list updates shows nothing of note as being available as an update, running yum upgrade does install the whole asl kit and kaboodle, inc asl-httpd and all the trimmings, and everything works again with the new gui and so on after an asl -s -f (and maybe an asl -c). The old web gui and other bits also get removed.

Bottom line -- if you mysteriously find have no gui, do a yum upgrade, do an asl -s f and try again (being sure to note the default password that you'll need to use to login to the new gui).

The timing could have been better -- for Centos 4 users there's a whole heap of things out at the same time, which will obviously all get upgraded when you run yum upgrade. You may want to check what might be upgraded, though other than mysqld in the CentosPlus repo (if you have it enabled), there is nothing in there that is likely to trouble Plesk and nothing that is likely to go wrong. In our case there were no problems with mysqld, and I would not expect any for other people either given that it is an incremental upgrade (crosses fingers).

Yes, it appears on some platforms the built in upgrade of asl in the asl tool isnt getting all the rpms. We are looking into how to enhance/prevent this in the future. We're getting to a point where the dependencies are pretty varied, so we may have to go with a more disconnected yum only approach.

Thanks for the reports everyone, basically if you find the GUI is missing then your system didnt download and install all the dependencies. You need to run yum upgrade.
