[00:07] <hotmonkeyluv> how do I start fluxbox from a terminal?
[02:15] <Navop> In  the perfect Server tutorial they use server1.example.com, can i use my domain name like abc.navop.com and hostname will be abc
[02:22] <Kamping_Kaiser> not sure i get your question
[02:24] <Navop> what i'm asking is that i can use any hostname with my registered domain name like hostname= egor, domaine = navop.com
[02:25] <Kamping_Kaiser> yes
[02:25] <Navop> In this example, my system is called server1.example.com, so I enter server1, this is from the howtoforge "the perfect Server"
[02:25] <Navop> k thanks
[02:25] <Kamping_Kaiser> that doesnt ensure you can see it from the net, its just a naming thing
[02:26] <Navop> k
[03:54] <willwill> hello, 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 mounted
[03:54] <willwill> so I mounted and dpkg --configure -a
[03:54] <willwill> after that, I cannot start apache2
[03:54] <Kamping_Kaiser> and the error is . ..?
[03:54] <willwill> it said ok but I cannot lynx localhost and /var/log/apache2/error.log says nothing
[03:55] <willwill> Kamping_Kaiser: don't know. the initscript said ok and /var/log/apache2/error.log says nothing
[03:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> willwill, what about syslog?
[03:56] <willwill> Kamping_Kaiser: /var/log/messages?
[03:56] <willwill> the last line said localhost exiting on signal 15
[03:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> willwill, /var/log/syslog
[03:56] <willwill> and 5 above lines is tcp packet incoming
[03:57] <willwill> Kamping_Kaiser: I got the same results
[03:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> willwill, restart apache then pastebin the last 40 lines of syslog please.

[04:01] <willwill> hi {Roger-BBIAB}
[04:02] <willwill> oh sorry, my script
[04:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> i suspect this is related. [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf at line 240 will probably never match because it
[04:03] <willwill> Kamping_Kaiser: I can start apache2 with that message in Gutsy
[04:03] <willwill> and it is up for many days
[04:03] <willwill> I also cannot ssh to my server
[04:04] <Kamping_Kaiser> willwill, are you using vhost based hosting? perhaps your dns is mia
[04:04] <willwill> Kamping_Kaiser: I don't install dns server. I use dyndns with inadyn.
[04:04] <willwill> Kamping_Kaiser: I use some virtualhosts.
[04:05] <Kamping_Kaiser> hm.
[04:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> i'm not sure, hang around and hopefully someone else will be able to lend a hand
[04:06] <willwill> thanks.

[19:59] <wcarss> Hey, 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, s
[19:59] <wcarss> Way long winded.
[20:02] <Nafallo> avahi can do that automagically
[20:07] <wcarss> I 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 work
[20:08] <wcarss> hosts 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.
[20:10] <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?
[20:15] <privet> flotishtu: sudo vim /etc/rc.local
[20:15] <privet> and then put those commands in it.
[20:15] <flotishtu> firest requires a sudo password. 2. the settings are undo at eth reconnection. 3. how do auto reconfigure ipmasq?
[20:16] <privet> flotishtu: rc.local is executed each time the machine starts. and it runs as "root"
[20:17] <flotishtu> yes. but the commands are undo  at eth reconnections too.
[20:17] <flotishtu> how to i stop that
[20:17] <flotishtu> and how to auto reconfigure ipmasq. it ruquires a human to press yes. no.
[20:34] <dougie_> Hi I'm looking for some advice for what I should run on a home server
[20:35] <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.
[20:38] <mralphabet> dougie_: what are you trying to accomplish?
[20:38] <mralphabet> dougie_: one you have that outlined, does ebox accomplish those things?
[20:39] <dougie_> well file server and possibly print server and what not
[20:39] <dougie_> for now anyways
[20:39] <dougie_> later on may get further use
[20:39] <mralphabet> and I take it you are not comfortable with the CLI
[20:40] <mralphabet> command line
[20:40] <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 lol
[20:40] <mralphabet> ok
[20:41] <mralphabet> ebox just gives you a method of interacting with the services / config files
[20:41] <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 else
[20:41] <dougie_> yeah I see they have a lot of modules nad what not
[20:42] <mralphabet> if you are at all comfortable with commandline / editing files by hand, I would suggest that
[20:42] <mralphabet> ebox should work for you
[20:42] <mralphabet> who cares what it is 'aimed' for
[20:42] <dougie_> ok
[20:43] <dougie_> so what would be better about just doing it CLI then using something like ebox?
[20:44] <dougie_> other then the obvious which is understanding and manipulation of linux instead of using some sort of gui
[20:48] <Koon> dougie_: you would (also obviously) have more options
[20:50] <dougie_> yeah thats true
[20:50] <dougie_> Although not sure I need anymore then whats there
[20:51] <Koon> it'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 not
[20:51] <dougie_> so music, pictures, videos
[20:51] <dougie_> possibly some personal storage folders to save files to and what not
[20:54] <Koon> ebox is probably your best friend. Unless you want to take the opportunity to spend some time learning more configfiles possibilities
[22:13] <yell0w> hey 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#53
[22:20] <ScottK> SERVAIL generally means that the remove DNS server is reporting it's broken.
[22:27] <yell0w> ScottK: you mean 4.2.2.4 ?
[22:27] <ScottK> I meant RCODE (SERVFAIL)
[22:27] <ScottK> remove/remote btw
[22:28] <yell0w> yes what i meant to ask is, you meant 4.2.2.4 is reporting it's broken ?
[22:28] <yell0w> well i can still use dig with that server
[22:29] <ScottK> Or that it got that reply from wherever it queried.
[22:34] <yell0w> ScottK: do you have any suggestion for a reliable public dns server  ?
[22:35] <yell0w> ScottK: to use as forwarders for my caching dns server ?
[22:35] <mralphabet> yell0w: I use dyndns and have had little to no problems with them
[22:35] <ScottK> No. Sorry.
[22:35] <Nafallo> yell0w: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220
[22:37] <yell0w> mralphabet: i didn't know they have public dns servers
[22:37] <yell0w> Nafallo: thanks
[22:42] <mralphabet> yell0w: don't you get dns from your ISP?
[22:43]  * Nafallo trust opendns more then his ISP :-)
[22:43] <mralphabet> heh
[22:43] <yell0w> mralphabet: ditto Nafallo's
[22:43] <Nafallo> s/then/than/
[22:44] <yell0w> mralphabet: my isp's dns is very flaky
[22:44] <Nafallo> on my server I just use my own DNS network though :-)
[22:46] <yell0w> Nafallo: but you'd still need a forwarder from somewhere right ?
[22:46] <Nafallo> yell0w: why?
[22:47] <yell0w> Nafallo: erhh don't you need that for a dns server ?
[22:48] <Nafallo> yell0w: why would you?
[22:48] <yell0w> uhm where do you get the records then ?
[22:49] <Nafallo> yell0w: the usual way.
[22:49] <yell0w> Nafallo: which is ?
[22:50] <Nafallo> yell0w: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:An_example_of_theoretical_DNS_recursion.svg
[22:51] <yell0w> Nafallo: so you query the root servers directly ?
[22:51] <Nafallo> yell0w: ask the root where the TLD is, ask the TLD where the domain is.
[22:52] <yell0w> Nafallo: i followed this guys here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto
[22:52] <yell0w> guide*
[22:52] <yell0w> Nafallo: i gotcha
[22:52] <yell0w> so really the forwarders aren't needed in that case then
[22:53] <Nafallo> yell0w: 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.
[22:54] <Nafallo> since the forwarder will cache results as well.
[22:57] <yell0w> Nafallo: ahh so it's a convenience istead of neccessity
[22:57] <Nafallo> yea
[22:58] <yell0w> i thought the root servers aren't to be querried by just any server
[22:59] <yell0w> this is better news then :)
[22:59] <ScottK> In theory they aren't supposed to be, but they certainly are.
[23:01] <yell0w> ScottK: i'm sticking to opendns for now, and if that still gives me error i'll do what you
[23:01] <yell0w> are doing
[23:01] <yell0w> :)
[23:16] <nxvl> infinity: around?
