Hey,

Just installed a new CentOS with Interworx. Everything fine, BUT. I can’t add new ipadresses cause there is no network device.
When i do ‘ifconfig’ i get the following:


[root@cobra ~]# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1C:C0:A7:25:9F
          inet addr:  Bcast:  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:231385 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:163055 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:218646077 (208.5 MiB)  TX bytes:12513511 (11.9 MiB)
          Interrupt:220 Base address:0x2000

[root@cobra ~]#

But when i do as root ‘su iworx’ and then ‘/sbin/ifconfig’ it gives the following error:


Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited  output.
Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory).  Limited output.
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr  00:1C:C0:A7:25:9F

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500   Metric:1
          Interrupt:252 Base address:0x4000

I restarted it multiple, even tryed to reinstall the whole OS. Nothing… How to fix?

So it seems its something with interworx which can’t load ifconfig. I already mounted /proc/ again, didnt work at all…

Hi Marvin,

Did you get this problem resolved? If so, what did you have to do? My guess would be it’s related to some kind of lockdown of the /proc filesystem.
