zobboooh10:33
zobbothat's there !10:33
zobbothank you !10:33
avatar_Note that tzselect will not actually change the timezone for  you.  Use ’dpkg-reconfigure tzdata’ to achieve this.10:33

rbrunhuberI need help with a feisty server + spamassassin + amavis setup. The permissions for the bayes db get screwed up very often.19:34
tepsipakkispiekey: you could try on #ubuntu-installer, but yeah, you can check the network settings by opening a console session on VT2 or 319:34
stiv2kanybody here know a little something abotu WebDAV?19:38
rbrunhuberstiv2k: what do you need?19:39
stiv2krbrunhuber: well i'm trying to set up subversion following this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_subversion_websvn19:39
stiv2kbut i am having problems with the webDAV part, h/o let me retrieve the error i'm getting19:39
stiv2ksvn: PROPFIND request failed on '/project_resurrection'19:40
stiv2ksvn: PROPFIND of '/project_resurrection': Could not read status line: Secure connection truncated (https://websvn.neoturbine.net)19:40
rbrunhuberis this server public reachable?19:42
stiv2kyes it should be19:42
rbrunhuberstiv2k: no it always times out.19:42
stiv2krbrunhuber: what port you trying to connect on?19:42
stiv2k443?19:42
stiv2ki think the problem lies with SSL as the guide completely skips over explaining how to setup an SSL certificate and such :|19:43
stiv2ki dont know why they would show you how to set up webdav with SSL yet not show you how to set up SSL19:44
stiv2k??19:47
lerolerosommer: thanks for the link. that's exactly what I was looking for.19:53
sommernp19:53
rbrunhuberstiv2k: Sorry, i was distracted: boss calling.20:55
stiv2kits okay20:55
stiv2ki (sort of) got it working20:55
stiv2ki have it working w/o ssl20:55
mralphabetstiv2k: somebody did a writeup of svn + ssl on http://planet.ubuntulinux.org/20:56
mralphabetit's about 2/3 down the page20:56
stiv2knice20:56
rbrunhuberstiv2k : there is one rule of thumb: There is no such thing like a free lunch with apache2 + ssl20:56
stiv2khehe20:56
stiv2kwhat are you implying?20:56
rbrunhuberstiv2k: for example virtual host + ssl is not working.20:57
stiv2kuh oh20:58
stiv2kreally?20:58
stiv2kso i can pretty much scrap the idea20:58
sommer stiv2k: You can use IP based vhosts with Apache + SSL20:58
stiv2ki usually use <Virtualhost *:80>20:58
rbrunhubersommer, stiv2k: thanks for the correction namebased virtual hosts are not working.20:59
stiv2kcorrection21:00
stiv2k<VirtualHost *>21:00
stiv2ki don't know if that's name-based or IP based21:00
rbrunhuberstiv2k, sommer: i got around this problem by redirecting for example http://webmail.example.com  to https://example.com/webmail21:00
sommerstiv2k: that's named based.21:00
rbrunhuberstiv2k : and http://svn.example.com to https://example.com/svn21:01
sommer<VirtualHost 172.18.100.1:80>21:01
sommer<VirtualHost 172.18.100.2:80>21:01
sommeryou'll need to add extra IP's to your interface21:01
stiv2ksommer: well i have several name based virtual hosts21:02
stiv2kand i have a dynamic public ip21:02
rbrunhuberstiv2k: then you are forced to use name based vhosts21:02
sommerstiv2k: here's a link explaining why you need IP based: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html21:02
sommeractually that link doesn't... looking for correct link21:03
rbrunhuberthe problem is, that ssl is defined in the server context and not in the virtual host context, which means that you can only specify one ssl certificate.21:05
sommertry this link: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#vhosts221:05
rbrunhuberstivk what do your virtual host names look like?21:08
rbrunhuberstiv2k: see above21:08
rbrunhubersommer: seems stiv is now busy reading.21:13
sommerheh... I had to deal with that ssl name vhosts issue a couple of months ago, one of those woops moments.21:14
rbrunhubersommer : me too, as my website is only intended for a very small audience i use redirects vom http (pretty url) to https (ugly url)21:16
=== Irish is now known as YourMomsHero
stiv2khehe21:25
stiv2ksorry21:25
stiv2kokay21:26
stiv2kso i can't just use one certificate ?21:27
rbrunhuberstiv2k: ?21:58
rbrunhuberstiv2k:  you must use only one certificate and you must have only one virtualhost stanza if you are using name based virtual hosts21:59
stiv2krbrunhuber: i see22:01
UnNaturalHighI have ubuntu-server i386 installed. I know that it is not wise in most instances to have X.org installed on a server so this is why I ask this. Would it be alright for a home server to have X running and if not would running an xen server and having a domU desktop make more sense?22:07
lerolerotimestamps...22:24
leonelUnNaturalHigh: why use xen ?? will there be different users ?22:25
leonelif its a home server  ..22:25
UnNaturalHighleonel, only user is me from a GUI perspective22:27
leroleroUnNaturalHigh: do you have a desktop other than the server, or you must use the server console ?22:29
UnNaturalHighlerolero, I have two laptops on my desk and the server at my feet22:29
UnNaturalHighI just wanted to use the monitor as an extra desktop with synergy and X11 forwarding22:30
lerolerogotcha.22:31
leroleroI wouldn't use xen at all for this setup. just install the packages and configure the X server by hand.22:32
UnNaturalHighjust trying to get some people's opinions more or less on what direction I should take22:32
lerolerowell, I usually don't have a local console on my servers.22:32
UnNaturalHighyea, I was just going to run e17 or fluxbox anywho22:32
UnNaturalHighsecurity is not a big concern on a home cable connection22:33
UnNaturalHighI already run a nice firewall in the form of pfsense22:33
lerolero:)22:33
UnNaturalHighthanks for you input lerolero22:35
