Move to a new computer

Hello Somehow still can’t figure out why. My freepbx server motherboard die out no power to it. I replaced the power supply still nothing i replaced the memory and CPU and nothing. So i finally gave up and moved the hard drive to a new computer but totally different motherboard as well as more memory. I can get the server up and running but the network i can not access to get to the web GUI. Not sure what to do can someone please help me out? I went into the command and looked in the Eth0 all same settings from the old hardware that i setup still there. Not sure what to do.

Remove the ‘MAC=’ line from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Hello xrobau i didn’t have a chance to login and change anything into now when i login and when to the Ethernet setup there was no mac address in there?

5

So… Does your machine not have an eth0 any more? ‘ip addr’ will show you the interfaces it knows about.

6

It there is a Eth0 it shows everything ip address subnet mask gateway and dns but nothing for a Mac address.

7

That’s a command you have to run

I went into the Eth0 this is what it said

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="static"
BROADCAST="192.168.xxx.xxx"
DNS="192.168.xxx.xxx"
GATEWAY="192.168.xxx.xxx"
IPADDR="192.168.xxx.xxx"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE=“Ethernet”

No, really. It’s a command you have to run.

Edit: Just in case you missed it, the command you have to run is ‘ip addr’

10

I’m sorry still a little new and I’m a little lost. Which command i have to run for this?

11

type ‘ip addr’ and then copy and paste the output here.

12

Hello i can’t paste it in here i can’t even do ssh to get to it.

13

So… just check, possibly?

14

If i type on the server command ip addr shows me a bunch of stuff but not a ip address. if i go in nano to ifcfg-eth0 i can see the ip addr, sub net mask,gateway, dns and all there.

15

The stuff you’re looking for is the interface. Does eth0 exist? It’s pretty easy to read:

[root@master provis]# ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc mq master bond1 state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 78:2b:cb:15:a0:0c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond0 state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 78:2b:cb:15:a0:0b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

^^^ There, eth0 does not exist. Does eth0 exist on your machine?

16

Okay now that i didn’t understand what you meant by that was a little confusing.
I got lo: and eth1 that is all.

17

So, the answer here is ‘no’.

Run this:

rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Then reboot your machine. That will put the new eth1 to eth0.

18

so what happen because i moved the drive to a new system is somehow deleted the Eth0?

I did the command just waiting for it to reboot.

19

No. It did not delete eth0. It was looking for it, it wasn’t there. There was a new network interface, so it called that eth1.
