| soren | jim: Which module and which version of Ubuntu? | 02:58 |
| jim | I just want to be able to execute cgiscripts on my Ubuntu Linux 6.06.1 | 03:03 |
| jim | I thought I only needed cgi.pm | 03:03 |
| soren | jim: Apache can execute cgi scripts as it is. | 03:08 |
| soren | jim: Depending on your actual CGI scripts, you may need glue code of various shapes and colours. | 03:09 |
| jim | soren: I can't execute and don't know why. I am using perl | 03:09 |
| soren | jim: Look, to get a helpful answer, it helps if you provide some specific information about: a) what you're trying to achieve, b) what you've done, and c) what happened? | 03:11 |
| jim | soren: sorry, let me try. I've installed ubuntu lamp server. php works but perl cgi does not. Perl is installed and I can use it from command line but not from web with cgi | 03:13 |
| soren | jim: The information you've given me so far corresponds to calling the IKEA help desk saying "I've bought something from you. I can't assemble it. It's blue." and expecting them to guess which piece of furniture you're trying to assemble and that you tried to stick knob X into hole Y, while you should have poked nail J into hole Z. | 03:13 |
| soren | I'm not trying to be offensive, I just find that analogies often make a point come across better. :) | 03:14 |
| jim | lol... sorry again | 03:14 |
| soren | jim: What's the script? Where have you put? What happened? What did you expect to happen? | 03:14 |
| jim | I'm managing server via webmin, and can see other perl modules, but cgi module won't install | 03:15 |
| soren | What's the script? Where have you put it? What happens? :) | 03:15 |
| soren | And where did you install webmin from? It's not in Ubuntu (we yanked it out long ago). | 03:16 |
| jim | The script simply displays its own code and does not execute. It is chmod 755 | 03:16 |
| jim | is there an alternate to webmin that is prefered? | 03:17 |
| soren | You've now answered "what happens". | 03:17 |
| soren | What's the script? Where have you put it? | 03:17 |
| jim | it is in /home/jim/public_html/cgi-bin | 03:18 |
| soren | jim: There's your problem. | 03:19 |
| jim | where should they be ? | 03:19 |
| soren | jim: By default, random users are not allowed to run arbitrary scripts like that. | 03:19 |
| soren | jim: /usr/lib/cgi-bin | 03:20 |
| jim | soren:I'll try now | 03:21 |

| soren | ... | 03:36 |
| dendrobates | edit the cgi script and correct the first line to point to the correct location of perl. | 03:38 |
| soren | jim: " I can use it from command line " | 03:38 |
| soren | jim: ? | 03:38 |
| jim | soren: Its working now. I had the perl path wrong and of course the file in the wrong place. | 03:39 |

| jim | soren: Thanks for your patience and your help .... ! | 03:39 |
| soren | np | 03:39 |
| jim | soren: what about a webmin replacement? I found webmin here. http://www.howtoforge.com/node/1388 | 03:43 |
| infinity | webmin is the devil's tool. | 03:45 |
| soren | jim: Well, you can get security holes in all sorts of shapes and colours now. | 03:45 |
| soren | jim: webmin is great for that. | 03:45 |
| soren | jim: But I'm almost sure that's not what you want it for? | 03:45 |
| jim | devil's tool ??!! | 03:47 |
| soren | jim: But if that's what you want webmin for, you can replace it with a wide variety of stuff. The easiest is probably a compiled version of securityhole.c in your cgi-bin. | 03:47 |
| jim | soren: I can remove it and just run from the command line if I have too. | 03:47 |
| soren | jim: I'm trying to use humour to show you that you've asked a question that has no simple answer. I can't tell you what to replace webmin with, if I don't know why you've installed webmin to begin with. | 03:48 |
| soren | jim: What are you trying to achieve? | 03:49 |
| jim | soren: I only wanted to manage the server remotely, without using command line | 03:49 |
| jim | soren: I actually only need it while configuring it and getting it up and running | 03:49 |
| soren | soren: "Manage" can mean a lot of things. A combination of http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/8a0f/ and a simple script can be turned into a clever way to "manage" your power button on your server. | 03:50 |
| soren | jim: What *specifically* are you trying to achieve? | 03:50 |
| soren | jim: ^^ The power button management system comment was for you too. | 03:51 |
| jim | soren: I was only setting up the server so I could learn more about linux and also practice developement of web/php/perl ... etc | 03:51 |
| soren | jim: So... When I ask: "What do you want to achieve?", you answer: "I want a webserver, that can interpret php and perl scripts". | 03:53 |
| jim | ahh well... yes | 03:53 |
| soren | jim: For that, you open a terminal, type "sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5". That installs apache, a php5 interpreter and you already know where to put perl scripts. | 03:53 |
| soren | jim: No webmin. | 03:53 |
| soren | jim: webmin is the answer to a question noone should ask. | 03:54 |
| jim | soren: I'll remove it promptly. thanks | 03:54 |
| dendrobates | soren: doesn't ebox answer the same question? | 03:55 |
| soren | dendrobates: No. | 03:55 |
| soren | dendrobates: Let's play Jeopardy :) | 03:55 |
| soren | dendrobates: 'I'll take "Stupid software" for 1000, Alex'. | 03:55 |
| dendrobates | soren: sorry, you seem like you need someone to give you a hard time. | 03:56 |
| soren | dendrobates: '"Stupid software" for 1000: "This software is a completely useless way to transform a configuration file into a html form"'. BZZZZZTTTTT! "What is webmin?" | 03:57 |
| soren | \o/ I win! | 03:57 |
| soren | :) | 03:57 |
| `6og | :) | 03:58 |
| dendrobates | soren: it's amazing how popular it was 7 or 8 years ago. until redhat learned the error of it's ways. | 03:58 |
| `6og | whats amazing is that its still sort of popular | 03:59 |
| soren | ebox asks you questions. Your answers are then turned into a set of configuration file settings, possibly spread out over several packages. | 03:59 |
| dendrobates | it comes form commandlinephobia. | 03:59 |
| soren | webmin takes the config files from disk, puts a <input type="text" names="foo" /> where you'd normally put stuff into the config file. When you've put stuff in, you click "save" and it writes it back to disk. It's just a retarded, webified, configuration file editor. | 04:00 |
| `6og | how many nameservers can you have in /etc/resolv.conf? | 04:00 |
| `6og | iirc its unlimited...? | 04:01 |
| soren | 3 | 04:01 |
| `6og | ah ok | 04:01 |
| soren | # define MAXNS 3 /* max # name servers we'll track */ | 04:01 |
| `6og | is that 3 nameserver+1x search? | 04:01 |
| soren | from /usr/include/resolv.h | 04:01 |
| infinity | (manpages are good for this) | 04:01 |

| hansin321 | mathiaz: Ok, that is right. Soemthing was said on a different channel that had me thinking ubuntu server was moving to use the same kernel as plain ubuntu. Thanks. | 09:31 |
| mathiaz | hansin321: I think that -bigiron was dropped a couple of weeks ago. | 09:32 |
| hansin321 | mathiaz: Maybe that was the issue. I'll look into it, just out of curiousities sake... | 09:33 |

| eddie | Is ubuntu - server light weight? | 10:00 |
| eddie | or packed with junk? | 10:00 |
| donspaulding | yes | 10:00 |
| eddie | okay.. *downloads* | 10:01 |
| kshahnjd | does ubuntu server come with an sshd? if not could i get a recommendation on what to install? | 10:02 |
| donspaulding | it comes with openssh http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/net/openssh-server | 10:03 |
| kshahnjd | this is a rook question but, how can i get a list of currently installed packages or can someone link me to a basic command list | 10:05 |
| kshahnjd | i suppose all debian commands will work | 10:06 |
| mathiaz | kshahnjd: yes. all debian commands will work. | 10:06 |
| kshahnjd | so, the command 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' works, but how do I specify to grab the files from another source, like an online repository | 10:08 |
| kshahnjd | instead of the cd | 10:08 |
| donspaulding | you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:08 |
| donspaulding | uncomment the online repositories there, but comment out the ones for the CD if you don't plan on keeping it in the drive forever :) | 10:09 |
| kshahnjd | so uncomment the 'backports' lines? | 10:09 |
| donspaulding | if you want yes. | 10:10 |
| kshahnjd | oh nvm, just comment the cdrom lines, there are many repositories defined in the file | 10:10 |
| donspaulding | right | 10:10 |
| benlake | anyone have some experience with customer services for logwatch in 6.06? | 10:16 |
| kshahnjd | an anonymous user in terms of ftp is not a guest user right? | 10:27 |
| donspaulding | in what context? | 10:27 |
| kshahnjd | like, I disabled anonymous login to vsftpd, and I can't login at all, it won't give me a chance to authenticate | 10:28 |
| kshahnjd | so what is an anonymous user then? | 10:28 |
| kshahnjd | i've never used a linux ftpd so I'm a bit confused, I use filezilla server on windows | 10:29 |
| kshahnjd | *normally | 10:29 |
| donspaulding | did you enable local user login after disabling anonymous? | 10:33 |
| kshahnjd | no, i'm going to now | 10:33 |
| kshahnjd | local users are ones that have accounts on that server | 10:33 |
| donspaulding | correct | 10:34 |
| kshahnjd | okay, so the admin account, whatever it is, will have a proper authentication | 10:34 |
| kshahnjd | nice, it works, beautiful. thanks | 10:35 |
| donspaulding | np | 10:35 |
| kshahnjd | this is so easy i'm never running a windows server again | 10:37 |
| donspaulding | glad to hear it :) Although they can serve their purpose in large organizations. I've never seen an OSS product that compares with Active Directory for ease of implementation or management. | 10:38 |
| === donspaulding ducks before someone shoots | ||
| kshahnjd | I have to install Trac now, but that means python has to get installed first | 10:40 |
| donspaulding | hmm, interesting that you should mention that, hold on a second. | 10:40 |
| hansin321 | eddie: I love the default install. It is light and you decide at that point what to add. | 10:41 |
| hansin321 | eddie: With apt-get (or whatever) after you did the install... | 10:41 |
| eddie | hansin321.... So its definitly worth it? | 10:41 |
| donspaulding | kshahnjd: python is installed by default, have a look at this:http://pastebin.com/f2aad93cc | 10:42 |
| eddie | Whats the text based installer like? Complicated? | 10:42 |
| eddie | Ah nevermind | 10:43 |
| hansin321 | eddie: I think so. I am running it on a 350mhz PII / 392M ram and two NICs. It is my firewall/gateway and I host some services on it. I liked it immediately. I have loaded Red Hat, etc. where it loads tons of junk that I didn't need. Sure, there maybe be more 'leet' ways of getting the same effect, but for an 'out of the box' experience, I have been very happy with Ubuntu Server. | 10:43 |
| kshahnjd | donspaulding: oh wow :) | 10:43 |
| donspaulding | It's an outline of getting SVN/Trac installed and creating new projects | 10:44 |
| eddie | hansin321: Awesome ... Ill try it later :D | 10:44 |
| donspaulding | I based it off of this excellent guide: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracFeisty | 10:44 |
| donspaulding | He has everything there, but it's not arranged very nicely, since he installs and creates a project all at once | 10:45 |
| kshahnjd | wow, thank you, probably saved me an hour of fumbling around | 10:45 |
| eddie | 500meg disc... nice | 10:45 |
| donspaulding | like I said, interesting that you mentioned that, since I'm working on a python script that does all that right now | 10:45 |
| kshahnjd | automagically connects all the components? | 10:46 |
| hansin321 | eddie: Installer is pretty straight forward. Text based, but nothing too tricky. | 10:46 |
| donspaulding | well, creates new projects, the rest of that is all a one time setup, and not nearly as difficult as it looks | 10:46 |
| eddie | okay... cheers hansin | 10:46 |
| kshahnjd | let me give this a shot | 10:47 |
| eddie | hansin321: Does it have ssh server package on the disc? | 10:47 |
| donspaulding | good luck | 10:47 |
| hansin321 | eddie: I can't remember, but if not you can 'sudo apt-get install ssh-server'. | 10:47 |
| hansin321 | eddie: Also (and someone correct me if this is a bad idea), but I use the 'ubuntu-firewall' program from here: http://rob.pectol.com/content/view/2/1/ | 10:48 |
| hansin321 | eddie: It is just a script I think that allows you to configure it. I find it is pretty simplistic and works well. | 10:49 |
| hansin321 | It has a config files that lets you set things like ports to open, if you want to do nat, etc. I think it just sets all the iptables rules for you, but in a light-weight manner. | 10:50 |
| hansin321 | eddie: Oh, ssh-server on disk? Not sure, but very likely. | 10:51 |
| eddie | oKAY | 10:51 |
| eddie | Okay* | 10:51 |
| eddie | yay, 62gb's to copy over the network again :| | 10:54 |
| eddie | I have a direct pc-pc connection through an ethernet cable | 10:54 |
| eddie | I get about 10/megabytes a second | 10:54 |
| eddie | is that good? | 10:54 |

| Nicke | eddie: That would be 80 mbit/s.. so yes, if the nic's only handle 100 mbit, that's probably good :) | 10:56 |
| eddie | Nicke: Okay .. :) | 10:56 |
| eddie | Installation time... :p | 11:07 |
| kshahnjd | hey donspaulding, so far so good, but i hate running commands if i don't know why they work, I assume chown changes ownership of a file or folder, and the -R appears to be recursion, but what the heck is www-data:www-data | 11:15 |
| donspaulding | that's the user and group that you are changing the ownership to | 11:19 |
| donspaulding | www-data is the service account that apache runs under | 11:19 |
| donspaulding | Windows has a few (poorly utilized) equivalents to service accounts, think of it like IWAM_computername for IIS | 11:21 |
| kshahnjd | I see, understood | 11:21 |
| kshahnjd | so can I print out a list of users from the shell? | 11:21 |
| kshahnjd | and if so, www-data should appear? | 11:21 |
| kshahnjd | 'users' just lists me, and me via ssh | 11:21 |
| donspaulding | yeah, I'm not sure what the best way to do that is though, I usually just do 'cat /etc/passwd' | 11:21 |
| === YourMomsHero [n=cirish@74.202.196.195] has joined #ubuntu-server | ||
| donspaulding | that prints out a list of all user accounts and a good number of details about them | 11:22 |
| donspaulding | 'users' lists all user accounts currently logged into the system | 11:22 |
| kshahnjd | got it | 11:23 |
| eddie | the server installation didnt ask for a password | 11:24 |
| eddie | how do I set one? | 11:24 |
| kshahnjd | oh, it (trac) wants to use sqlite, no problem if I ask it to use mssql? | 11:24 |
| donspaulding | I don't think it works with mssql, sqlite is fine if you're just testing, it comes preinstalled with python and you don't have to do anything to configure it | 11:25 |
| kshahnjd | I meant mysql, sry | 11:25 |
| donspaulding | oh, yeah, mysql's supported | 11:25 |
| kshahnjd | I don't know how to specify the line though | 11:26 |
| kshahnjd | they're format is [sqlite:db/trac.db] | 11:26 |
| kshahnjd | [mysql:db/trac.db] ? :) | 11:26 |
| donspaulding | you'll have to look up the syntax for that line on trac's website | 11:26 |
| kshahnjd | kk | 11:26 |
| donspaulding | should be more like mysql://user@host:port/db_name | 11:27 |
| === donspaulding says always verify me | ||
| kshahnjd | mysql://root@localhost:3306/trac i guess, let me see | 11:27 |
| kshahnjd | i wonder if the db has to be created b4 | 11:28 |
| kshahnjd | nope :) failed | 11:30 |

| kshahnjd | uh oh, if I try to initenv again it says does the environment already exist, and so clearly yes it does, but the db connection is screwed up | 11:33 |
| kshahnjd | now I gotta modify that setting manual and complete the init | 11:33 |
| kshahnjd | eddie: for what? | 11:33 |
| eddie | Ubuntu server | 11:34 |
| eddie | It didnt ask to set one during installation | 11:34 |
| kshahnjd | passwd | 11:34 |
| eddie | dont I need to be root to do that though? | 11:35 |
| kshahnjd | try it, if not sudo passwd | 11:35 |
