[02:06] <FlannelKing> there any known bugs with server installs?
[08:22] <nandemonai> I wonder if I might pick someones brain on dns / apache2 virtual host setups.. Essentially I don't quite understand how to set this all up. I've read some faqs and howtos but am a little lost and have a few questions...
[08:27] <nandemonai> Such as, at current I have a apache2 webserver running, a dynamic ip setup with my isp and a dyndns domain pointing to my internet ip (updated by my router whenever the internet ip changes dynamically and all relevant ports are forwarded to said server's ip) and that all seems to work without me running bind. I also have a mail server running no problems with the dyndns domain name. What I need to know is does apache vi
[08:27] <nandemonai> rtual hosts need bind running to function? IE say I had example.homeunix.net and wanted a virtual host of foobar.example.homeunix.net... how exactly do I go about doing that?
[08:30] <nandemonai> Eventually I would like to buy domains and have them point to subdomains of my main domain so I'm pretty sure I'll need to setup dns for that myself and have the person the domain is bought off set thier nameservers to point to mine yes?
[08:33] <nandemonai> hmm.. I guess it's probably the middle of the night where most you guys/gals live..
[08:36] <Plug> Hi.
[08:36] <Plug> You don't really need to run bind (yourself)
[08:37] <Plug> virtual hosting works like this:
[08:37] <Plug> telnet whateverip 80
[08:37] <Plug> GET / HTTP/1.0
[08:37] <Plug> Host: <whateveryoulike>
[08:38] <Plug> A web browser needs to know how to get to your server, when you enter in the URL.. but the web server itself doesn't need to know any of that, it services any requests to the IP/s you're listening on.
[08:54] <nandemonai> Hmm, I only have one external ip though, I was planning on running multiple virtual hosts via a subdomain like above..
[08:54] <nandemonai> Oh and hi there :)
[08:57] <nandemonai> so ok.. first things first.. I have the hostname os the server set to the external domain name I've setup through dyndns and all that's working so far.. I just dont understand how to get subdomain.myhostname.homeunix.net happening..
[09:09] <nandemonai> Or do I just set the virtual host in apache and it resolves the subdomain to the virtual host?
[09:36] <Plug> You can set subdomain.myhostname.etc as a virtual host
[09:36] <Plug> and as long as you can resolve that IP to your dynamic IP, it will work
[09:37] <Plug> you can also do what you are asking
[09:37] <Plug> in terms of having *.myhsotname.homeunix.net I bbelive
[09:43] <nandemonai> ok I've tried but it seems to override the origional site..
[09:45] <nandemonai> and the subdomain doesnt resolve
[09:46] <nandemonai> hmm perhaps its an issue with dyndns.. as I have wildcards enabled so that mail gets through..
[09:47] <nandemonai> Oh scratch that it's not enabled anyway
[09:47] <nandemonai> hmm
[10:00] <neuralis> nandemonai: no, what you described certainly doesn't require your own dns server.
[10:01] <nandemonai> Well what I've done is added the virtual host to apache but for some reason it overides my origional host and the subdomain still doesnt resolv..
[10:03] <Plug> Adding a virtual host isn't enough to convince clients to send packets to that IP.
[10:04] <nandemonai> it's all the same IP though..
[10:04] <nandemonai> I'm confused sorry :(
[10:06] <nandemonai> See this is the bit I have trouble with, how do I get the subdomain resolving..
[10:10] <nandemonai> Ok I think I have it right now but still the subdomain does not resolv.. yet now the original domain is working as intended..
[10:12] <nandemonai> here is my virtual hosts lines: http://pastebin.com/670901 Do they look right?
[10:42] <neuralis> nandemonai: you're asking a basic apache and dns question. please do some background reading; this is in no way pertinent to ubuntu, or even linux.
[10:46] <nandemonai> Fair enough, I've done some reading but can't seem to find a good explanation of it that is up to date.
[01:06] <Pyretic> anyone tried that netboot image for the new sun niagara server ?
[01:09] <fabbione> yes me
[01:09] <Pyretic> are there any docs on how to get it started ?
[01:10] <Pyretic> i have the 60day demo unit, and rather have linux on it
[01:10] <fabbione> the same way as any other sparc machine.. setup tftpd on a box with rarpd
[01:10] <fabbione> from the niagara:
[01:10] <fabbione> boot net0:<ip_address_of_the_server>
[01:10] <fabbione> (assuming you are using the first interface
[01:12] <Pyretic> hmm right, i'll give it a try
[01:12] <fabbione> i am sure it works
[01:12] <fabbione> i have the second t2000 even shipped to a linux developer ;)
[01:13] <fabbione> even -> ever
[01:14] <fabbione> Pyretic: how many cores does your box have?
[01:14] <fabbione> we have one report of a 4 cores not booting properly.
[01:14] <Pyretic> 8core
[01:14] <fabbione> but otherwise 6/8 cores look ok
[01:15] <fabbione> Pyretic: can you please let me know immediatly if there is anything wrong with it? or if you find bugs?
[01:15] <fabbione> we should really move this to #ubuntu-ports too
[01:15] <Pyretic> sure, not have the time for it right now, but i'll be playing later on
[01:15] <Pyretic> ok
[01:15] <fabbione> sure
[01:16] <ajmitch> fabbione: there's a ports channel as well? now I'll have to decide which channel to drop to keep it to < 20 channels
[01:16] <fabbione> ajmitch: yes
[02:46] <AviaX> hey all
[04:08] <AviaX> hi
[04:12] <jsgotangco> yo
[04:12] <AviaX> i have many evms logs in my logs directory, do i need evms? and what does it exactly?
[04:16] <neuralis> AviaX: if you're asking about it, you don't need it :)
[10:06] <mkrufky-away> infinity: are you around?
[10:07] <mkrufky> infinity: i emailed you a patch a few weeks ago....  the patch fixed stored procedures for use with php5.0.5 and mssql
[10:07] <mkrufky> infinity: dapper probably will not need that patch, because the php guys already fixed it before 5.1
[10:08] <mkrufky> infinity: my question is, when will php-mssql support be officially added to Ubuntu?
[10:41] <pivi> maybe a faq, what about additional php5 modules that are missing in ubuntu and only available in dexter repository ?
[10:52] <mkrufky> pivi: i was just talking about something similar
[10:52] <mkrufky> where is that repo?
[10:52] <mkrufky> i had to build my own php5-mssql in order to use mssql stored procedures :-/
[10:54] <pivi> http://people.debian.org/~dexter/dists/
[10:54] <pivi> but I'd like to find something more supported from the security point of view
[10:55] <mkrufky> ya i know what u mean
[10:55] <mkrufky> unfortunately, i cant use any of those packages there -- they dont do what i needd
[10:55] <pivi> php5.0-mssql_5.0.5-0.8~breezy1_i386.deb
[10:55] <pivi> thsi is not what are you looking for?
[10:55] <mkrufky> ?!?  how did i miss that?!?
[10:55] <mkrufky> yes
[10:56] <mkrufky> aha!  now i see it
[10:56] <mkrufky> that is great
[10:57] <mkrufky> anyway.... this might help to answer your question
[10:57] <mkrufky> AFAIK, infinity maintains the php stuff.... Last time I spoke to him, it was over a month ago, he told me that he had planned to include the other php5 stuff post-dapper
[10:58] <mkrufky> but things may have changed since then, i dunno
[10:59] <nawty> also, php5-mcrypt's gone :(
[11:01] <pivi> php5-mcrypt has never been in ubuntu
[11:06] <nawty> pivi: no, it is however in the dotdeb repo.
[11:08] <pivi> dotdeb is not only debian stable and oldstable repository ?
[11:08] <pivi> it's also in dexter repository, however
[11:12] <mkrufky> dexter's mssql is bad
[11:12] <mkrufky> i just tried
[11:12] <mkrufky> it contains the stored procedure bug
[11:12] <mkrufky> so, i have to revert back to my custom-build package
[11:15] <pdr> hey, anyone know if ubuntu will install on an ibm POWER server?
[11:16] <nawty> pivi: it is ?
