NavopIn  the perfect Server tutorial they use server1.example.com, can i use my domain name like abc.navop.com and hostname will be abc02:15
Kamping_Kaisernot sure i get your question02:22
Navopwhat i'm asking is that i can use any hostname with my registered domain name like hostname= egor, domaine = navop.com02:24
Kamping_Kaiseryes02:25
NavopIn this example, my system is called server1.example.com, so I enter server1, this is from the howtoforge "the perfect Server"02:25
Navopk thanks02:25
Kamping_Kaiserthat doesnt ensure you can see it from the net, its just a naming thing02:25

willwillhello, I just upgrade my server to hardy (using update-manager on icewm) and X server freezed so I hit the magic sysrq reboot then found that /var /home is not mounted03:54
willwillso I mounted and dpkg --configure -a03:54
willwillafter that, I cannot start apache203:54
Kamping_Kaiserand the error is . ..?03:54
willwillit said ok but I cannot lynx localhost and /var/log/apache2/error.log says nothing03:54
willwillKamping_Kaiser: don't know. the initscript said ok and /var/log/apache2/error.log says nothing03:55
Kamping_Kaiserwillwill, what about syslog?03:55
willwillKamping_Kaiser: /var/log/messages?03:56
willwillthe last line said localhost exiting on signal 1503:56
Kamping_Kaiserwillwill, /var/log/syslog03:56
willwilland 5 above lines is tcp packet incoming03:56
willwillKamping_Kaiser: I got the same results03:57
Kamping_Kaiserwillwill, restart apache then pastebin the last 40 lines of syslog please.03:57
willwillKamping_Kaiser: http://pastebin.com/d23ccfef404:00
willwillhi {Roger-BBIAB}04:01
willwilloh sorry, my script04:02
Kamping_Kaiseri suspect this is related. [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf at line 240 will probably never match because it04:02
willwillKamping_Kaiser: I can start apache2 with that message in Gutsy04:03
willwilland it is up for many days04:03
willwillI also cannot ssh to my server04:03
Kamping_Kaiserwillwill, are you using vhost based hosting? perhaps your dns is mia04:04
willwillKamping_Kaiser: I don't install dns server. I use dyndns with inadyn.04:04
willwillKamping_Kaiser: I use some virtualhosts.04:04
Kamping_Kaiserhm.04:05
Kamping_Kaiseri'm not sure, hang around and hopefully someone else will be able to lend a hand04:06
willwillthanks.04:06

wcarssHey, I'm new to administration and I've got a new network of 5-9 PCs with my housemates. We're planning on doing a fair bit of shared foldering and being remotely accessible and generally creating a lot of contact back and forth between our PC's. I would particularly like to be able to use host names or run something like a DNS server internally so that, behind our router, we can resolve names to internal IPs, s19:59
wcarssWay long winded.19:59
Nafalloavahi can do that automagically20:02
wcarssI just checked Avahi out, and it looks like it does neat things, but not precisely what I want. I want to make it so that I can type "ssh carss" when I log into our central server, and it'll go straight to my PC, or so that I can type "ssh carss-laptop" from my PC and it'll go straight to my laptop, and always work20:07
wcarsshosts could do this actually, I guess I don't need to use a DNS server - but I don't know how it would work with DHCP. I can ask that elsewhere.20:08
flotishtu i always have to type these commands (when reboot, or firestarter is started or network connection is reconnected) in order to make my network share internet. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 80kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000 dpkg-reconfigure ipmasq   any way to do it for good, for ever?20:10
privetflotishtu: sudo vim /etc/rc.local20:15
privetand then put those commands in it.20:15
flotishtufirest requires a sudo password. 2. the settings are undo at eth reconnection. 3. how do auto reconfigure ipmasq?20:15
privetflotishtu: rc.local is executed each time the machine starts. and it runs as "root"20:16
flotishtuyes. but the commands are undo  at eth reconnections too.20:17
flotishtuhow to i stop that20:17
flotishtuand how to auto reconfigure ipmasq. it ruquires a human to press yes. no.20:17
dougie_Hi I'm looking for some advice for what I should run on a home server20:34
dougie_would Ebox not be a good idea on a home based server? I was reading the site and it says its aimed more at corporate use.20:35
mralphabetdougie_: what are you trying to accomplish?20:38
mralphabetdougie_: one you have that outlined, does ebox accomplish those things?20:38
dougie_well file server and possibly print server and what not20:39
dougie_for now anyways20:39
dougie_later on may get further use20:39
mralphabetand I take it you are not comfortable with the CLI20:39
mralphabetcommand line20:40
dougie_umm...... I don't know that I'd call it comfortable but its not like cryptonite for me :)20:40
dougie_yeah I know lol20:40
mralphabetok20:40
mralphabetebox just gives you a method of interacting with the services / config files20:41
dougie_eBox just looked nice and simple and wouldn't have to worry about SSH or anything I could just load it up in a browser but if its really not aimed for home use and is a bit beyond what I actually need then could probably just do something else20:41
dougie_yeah I see they have a lot of modules nad what not20:41
mralphabetif you are at all comfortable with commandline / editing files by hand, I would suggest that20:42
mralphabetebox should work for you20:42
mralphabetwho cares what it is 'aimed' for20:42
dougie_ok20:42
dougie_so what would be better about just doing it CLI then using something like ebox?20:43
dougie_other then the obvious which is understanding and manipulation of linux instead of using some sort of gui20:44
Koondougie_: you would (also obviously) have more options20:48
dougie_yeah thats true20:50
dougie_Although not sure I need anymore then whats there20:50
Koonit's rare we do.20:51
dougie_Basically what I'm going to use it for is a media server to serve my HTPC which runs Media Portal and the other computers to use for music and what not20:51
dougie_so music, pictures, videos20:51
dougie_possibly some personal storage folders to save files to and what not20:51
Koonebox is probably your best friend. Unless you want to take the opportunity to spend some time learning more configfiles possibilities20:54
yell0whey guys, does anyone knows what this error means in bind9 on hardy ?22:13
yell0w unexpected RCODE (SERVFAIL) resolving '119.232.12.194.in-addr.arpa/PTR/IN': 4.2.2.4#5322:13
ScottKSERVAIL generally means that the remove DNS server is reporting it's broken.22:20
yell0wScottK: you mean 4.2.2.4 ?22:27
ScottKI meant RCODE (SERVFAIL)22:27
ScottKremove/remote btw22:27
yell0wyes what i meant to ask is, you meant 4.2.2.4 is reporting it's broken ?22:28
yell0wwell i can still use dig with that server22:28
ScottKOr that it got that reply from wherever it queried.22:29
yell0wScottK: do you have any suggestion for a reliable public dns server  ?22:34
yell0wScottK: to use as forwarders for my caching dns server ?22:35
mralphabetyell0w: I use dyndns and have had little to no problems with them22:35
ScottKNo. Sorry.22:35
Nafalloyell0w: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.22022:35
yell0wmralphabet: i didn't know they have public dns servers22:37
yell0wNafallo: thanks22:37
mralphabetyell0w: don't you get dns from your ISP?22:42
* Nafallo trust opendns more then his ISP :-)22:43
mralphabetheh22:43
yell0wmralphabet: ditto Nafallo's22:43
Nafallos/then/than/22:43
yell0wmralphabet: my isp's dns is very flaky22:44
Nafalloon my server I just use my own DNS network though :-)22:44
yell0wNafallo: but you'd still need a forwarder from somewhere right ?22:46
Nafalloyell0w: why?22:46
yell0wNafallo: erhh don't you need that for a dns server ?22:47
Nafalloyell0w: why would you?22:48
yell0wuhm where do you get the records then ?22:48
Nafalloyell0w: the usual way.22:49
yell0wNafallo: which is ?22:49
Nafalloyell0w: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:An_example_of_theoretical_DNS_recursion.svg22:50
yell0wNafallo: so you query the root servers directly ?22:51
Nafalloyell0w: ask the root where the TLD is, ask the TLD where the domain is.22:51
yell0wNafallo: i followed this guys here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto22:52
yell0wguide*22:52
yell0wNafallo: i gotcha22:52
yell0wso really the forwarders aren't needed in that case then22:52
Nafalloyell0w: forwarders is good for reducing the load of servers quering upstream as well as it makes things faster if you have a commonly used one.22:53
Nafallosince the forwarder will cache results as well.22:54
yell0wNafallo: ahh so it's a convenience istead of neccessity22:57
Nafalloyea22:57
yell0wi thought the root servers aren't to be querried by just any server22:58
yell0wthis is better news then :)22:59
ScottKIn theory they aren't supposed to be, but they certainly are.22:59
yell0wScottK: i'm sticking to opendns for now, and if that still gives me error i'll do what you23:01
yell0ware doing23:01
yell0w:)23:01
nxvlinfinity: around?23:16
