[Server-devel] unable to register xo on our xs (school server) Knust team Bonsaso Ghana

[Siisi Nketsiah]

My name i Siisi nketsiah i'm part of the 2009  olpcorps group
working with a deployment in Ghana in a community called Bonsaaso
I have one other team member Asabere Ofosu


We configured our server in Rwanda during the pre-deployment
training program held at KIST in june 2009.


Since then we haven't had the opportunity to use the server up until now
since we were just able to get solar power.

We have a 2 TP Link (TL-WA501G) access points and one TP Link Router
(TL-WR741ND),
the usb network interface and the School server.

We were able to modify the root password for the school server XS system so we
are currently able to log on as root and we also successfully created a user.

We aren't sure how to connect thct the server to the router and in
turn connect to the internet
help is needed
- setting up the router correctly that is the correct settings to use
so we can connect to the server successfully

- configuring the usb network interface correctly

- all the necessary commands to use after installation of the school
server software in the right sequence

- we tried reconfiguring the domain name that worked ... we used the
ssh-keygen which
generated an id_rsa.pub file in the root directory

It may also be possible that we made certain modifications that may be
preventing us from connecting to the server successfully so it would
be helpful to also know how to restore
all changes made to default..that is the settings that existed right
after the installation of the XS software


we went to the wiki page which has information as to how to install
and configure
the server but some of the information we needed was unavailable there and after
following the instructions there we were still unsuccessful

thank you very much
