      Define "on occasion" for me. I really want to get mine off the Windows box it is on and on a Linux based (likely CentOS 7) VM.

      Yes, please do! Also, do you recommend windows instead of linux? If so, Why?

        Keep in mind he's a full time Windows engineer that doesn't use Linux. 🙂

            Finding issues like this and pushing through to find answers is a great way to learn a lot about it quickly.

                CentOS logs are in /var/logs/messages

                At least most logs are. /var/logs is the logging directory. Nearly everything goes into the "messages" catch all. But there are specific logs too for NginX, Apache (HTTPD), ScreenConnect, etc.

                Both Directorys are missing? WTF?

                  irrelevant though to reporting back the definition of "on occasion" as it pertains to the controller in question.

                      That's EXTREMELY odd. There is no /var/log at all?

                      Sorry, I typod. /var/log not logs

                            So you have messages for most things and screenconnect for specific stuff. I'd start with those two.

                              That could do it. Do this...

                              find / -name java

                                  Looks like Java is missing. No idea how that happened.

                                      Well you can't argue that Java isn't a lot more secure now!

                                        I would start here and see if this works...

                                        yum -y install java
                                        

                                        Let's experiment. This will install the open source Java replacement that Red Hat ships natively.

                                          WTF. The server was working fine the whole time!

                                          DNS was updated by mistake.....

                                          Boy do I feel silly.
