apetrescuHey guys :)08:13
apetrescuI'm having a strange problem. I'm trying to install the server edition on a somewhat old pc. Partway through the install it "searches hardware for cd-rom devices"; and then after a while it complains that it found no CD drive, which is odd, because the installer is currently running off of that CD drive!08:30
apetrescuIs there anything I can do? I don't know which module it is supposed to be to pick it manually.08:31
apetrescuNote that I had no such problems installing Gentoo08:31
apetrescu(On the same hardware)08:31
apetrescuAnyone...?08:37
`6oguse a different cd drive is the cure i know08:40
apetrescu`6og: It's the only CD drive I've got =/08:40
`6og:\08:40
`6ogi think i can tell you why it happens, but that wont help much i suspect08:41
apetrescuThe installer is loaded onto RAMdisk by the BIOS, and Linux does not have the right module to access it as a filesystem to grab other components?08:42
apetrescuThat's my guess.08:42
apetrescuI know that my hardware isn't really obscure or anything, because Gentoo had no problem installing on it.08:43
`6ogcd boots in floppy compatability mode (ie the computer boots "a floppy disc"), then when it looks for the cd drive it cant find it08:43
apetrescuI may boot up Gentoo, do an 'lsmod' to see what module it loaded for the cdrom, and tell Ubuntu to use that08:43
apetrescuBut that'll take sooo looong (slow computer) and it's already almost 3:00 AM here >_<08:44
`6og:|08:45
apetrescuSo, nobody has any ideas? =/08:51

chilayes06:07
chilaI can't send anything06:08
slackwarelifechila: you are using postfix with php06:08
chilaI believe so...06:08
chilaI have ISPCongig installed06:08
chilaand thats all setup06:08
chilaI didnt configure php with postfix06:09
slackwarelifechila: in your /etc/postfix/main.cf there is this line: relayhost = "your provider smtp server"06:12
chilait is blank06:13
slackwarelifechila: it is your problem06:14
chilareally?06:14
chilawhat should be there06:14
slackwarelifechila: do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix" and remply this:06:14
chilaI did this yesterday but where did I go wrong06:15
slackwarelife- Ok - Internet site - NONE - mail.mydomain.com - mail.mydomain.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain - No - 127.0.0.0/8 - Yes - 0 - + - All06:16
slackwarelifeThis "-" is for change the line reply 06:17
slackwarelifeWhen you had installed postfix you didn't have reply to all question06:17
chilaI used all the setting from here http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p506:18
chilaand I believe these are all the settings you have just listed06:19
chilaalso do I need to do all the after 'postconf -e' stuff?06:20
slackwarelifechila: but you want TLS ???06:20
chilayeah06:20
chilabut not by defualt06:20
slackwarelifechila: but you want it now ???06:22
chilawell right now no06:23
chilaI just want it to work06:23
chilaand then later I will configure TLS06:23
chilabut it should work anyway if I configure it right06:23
slackwarelifechila: for easy reconfigure of postfix you can do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix"06:24
slackwarelifechila: this will ask some question06:24
slackwarelifechila: you can reply with the string I posted before (remember "-" this is a change question)06:25
slackwarelifechila: after this you will have a /etc/postfix/main.cf06:25
slackwarelifebut before you must restart the postfix: "sudo /etc/init.d/postfix reload"06:26
chilaone sec06:26
slackwarelifechila: after restart you can change the main.cf file with: "sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf" or "sudo gedit /etc/postfix/main.cf" 06:27
slackwarelifechila: and insert this line: relayhost = your smtp provider server06:28
slackwarelifechila: save all06:28
slackwarelifechila: after you can configure /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (use your prefer text editor) and add this line (or change this line): sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" (don't worry this line will use postfix). Reload apache2 "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload". Now if you haven't a sendmail path you can do this: "sudo ln -a /usr/sbin/postfix /usr/sbin/sendmail". Try. Now I must will go out. But you can06:33

ivokshi08:12
ivoksPureEvilGeek: i've set it up once, but on 6.0608:12
PureEvilGeekivoks: hum. on there site it says it supports 6.x but i'm setting up a 7.x server and was just wondering if my attempt was going to be useless.08:13
PureEvilGeekwe will see i guess:)08:13
ivoksi would recommend 6.0608:14
PureEvilGeekivoks: did you like it? i'm just looking for something to replace my desktop mail client so I can access multiple e-mail accounts on different systems08:14
ivokssince it is long term supported version08:14
PureEvilGeekwhy is that?08:14
PureEvilGeekno features in 7.04 that are worth looking into?08:14
ivokszimbra is not desktop mail client replacement08:15
ivoksit's a service08:15
ivoksit does have web client, but it's a service08:15
PureEvilGeekhum i'm getting it for its web client08:15
ivokszimbra is email server08:16
ivoksnot a client08:16
ivokswhen you install it, you get smtp/imap/pop/ldap/web services08:16
PureEvilGeekright08:17
PureEvilGeekbut from what I saw of the demo I could setup the web client to access multiple pop accounts on other locations. is this wrong?08:17
ivoksit's meant for people from other computers to connect to it, and share contacts...08:17
PureEvilGeekivoks: ok if i wanted a web based client server (basicly outlook express / evolution but web based) what would I want to get?08:18
ivoksuff...08:18
PureEvilGeekuff?08:18
ivokswebmail is a service that ISPs provide08:18
ivokshaving webmail on local computer is possible, but... i never seen antone using it on local computer :)08:19
PureEvilGeeki'm not looking to use it on the local computer (not the server end of it at least). i'm looking to use it on my server08:19
ivokstry squirrelmail08:20
PureEvilGeekto access multiple pop accounts. i'm not looking for an e-mail account with webmial i'm looking for webmail for my email accounts08:20
ivokssquirrelmail is a program08:21
ivokswebmail program08:22
PureEvilGeekisn't squirrelmail just a smtp/imap/pop server with a webmail interface?08:23
ivoksit's not a server, it's web application08:23
ivoksyou are looking for 'web evolution/outlook'?08:24
PureEvilGeekbasicly08:25
PureEvilGeekafter i get ubuntu server on my vm i'll download the package and check it out08:26
ivoksi just saw... squirrelmail doesn't support multiple imap servers08:27
PureEvilGeeki'm pretty sure zimbra will do what i want08:27
PureEvilGeeksince while I was on the demo it had specificly the option to do what iw ant08:27
PureEvilGeekunless i miss read it08:28
ivoksok, go with zimbra...08:28
ivoksbut that's like taking a 3.5t truck for couple of bricks08:28
PureEvilGeekyeah i realize that08:29
PureEvilGeekbut since i don't have to pay for the gas...08:29
PureEvilGeeki'll be trying both out08:30
ivokswill you do anything else on that server?08:30
PureEvilGeekon the zimba server or the system itself?08:31
ivoksIIRC, zimbra installs it's own packages, making system almost unusable for any other business :/08:31
PureEvilGeekI can set up a system for just the mail app if i need to. have plenty of them around to do so08:31
ivoksok :)08:32
PureEvilGeekWish i could find a squirrelmail demo to try it out to see what it has08:32
PureEvilGeekI can also work inside a VM08:32

teknoboiany suggestions as far as webhosting administration software that you might recommend for ubuntu server?10:37
nealmcb...i'm curious and should probably ask more about what the problem with ravencore was in the first place, and what it does :-)10:37
teknoboiravencore is an open source web hosting administration tool used to administer web servers or server stacks10:37
nealmcbI've played with several over the years but am not up-to-speed10:37

teknoboithe problem is (with ravencore) that i wasnt sure how to install rpm packages until a friend of mine suggested using alien10:39
