| osmosis_ | I broke my munin server install by rm -rf /var/lib/munin/* Now my munin-update.log says ERROR: Could not rename file: No such file or directory. Any ideas? Can i use apt-get to reload the default files or something? | 17:16 |
| osmosis_ | help | 17:49 |
| osmosis_ | Jun 14 09:45:23 [6258] - INFO: Changing type of thing.com -> host.thing.com -> apache_processes -> busy80 to GAUGE. | 17:49 |
| osmosis_ | Jun 14 09:45:23 [6258] - ERROR: Could not rename file: No such file or directory | 17:49 |
| osmosis_ | munin error | 17:49 |
| osmosis_ | can someone paste a working munin-update.log for me so I can see what its suppose to look like? | 17:53 |
| asisak | osmosis_: what about you create an empty dir /var/lib/munin? (and chown it to munin:munin)? | 17:54 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: yah, did that already. | 17:54 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: munin is actually creating some files in there already | 17:54 |
| asisak | oh I see | 17:55 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: and all permissions look okay | 17:55 |
| osmosis_ | i have the web page being generated, no graph | 17:55 |
| osmosis_ | errors look like this | 17:55 |
| osmosis_ | http://dpaste.com/56609/ | 17:55 |
| asisak | This ERROR you cited seems pretty weird, error log does not say anything at all | 17:56 |
| asisak | Can you reach your munin-node? | 17:57 |
| asisak | E.g., telnetting to port 4949 | 17:57 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: yah, that part works fine. | 17:58 |
| asisak | Can you also query plugins (i.e., do they provide data)? | 17:58 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: i telnet'd to the hosts and all. munin-update log shows all the connections working fine. at the end of each run though, it spits out those errors and never prints the finished msg. | 17:59 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: via telnet, yes plugins provided data | 17:59 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: the only thing that has changed in my environment was that I did a rm -rf /var/lib/munin/* on the server. | 18:00 |
| asisak | That should not hurt | 18:00 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: i didnt think so. thats why I did it. | 18:00 |
| asisak | (except for losing previously acquired data) | 18:00 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: well, i actually did a mv, so I have all the old files still | 18:00 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: check out the diff http://dpaste.com/56610/ | 18:01 |
| asisak | Well, looks very weird | 18:02 |
| asisak | Sure that munin:munin is the owner of /var/lib/munin? | 18:03 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: yup | 18:03 |
| asisak | Okay | 18:03 |
| osmosis_ | munin-update.stats never gets created. just a tmp. | 18:04 |
| osmosis_ | and datafile doesnt exist | 18:04 |
| osmosis_ | dont know what those files do | 18:04 |
| asisak | I try to have a look at a working installation | 18:06 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: yah, i dont know what else to try. guess I could just put the old files back. | 18:06 |
| asisak | BTW why did you delete them? | 18:07 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: i wanted to reset the data | 18:07 |
| asisak | It seems that 'datafile' and 'munin-update.stats' both are refreshed | 18:07 |
| asisak | I guess it is enough to delete the directories | 18:07 |
| asisak | I am almost sure, actually | 18:07 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: maybe i can try that | 18:08 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: i even tried a apt-get remove munin; apt-get install munin | 18:08 |
| asisak | You might only copy datafile, munin-update.stats and munin-graph.stats back | 18:08 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: that didnt seem to do anything. maybe i need to dpkg --reconfigure or something like that ? | 18:08 |
| asisak | And check if it works again | 18:08 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: i put back the old files and it looks like the errors are gone now. | 18:12 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: no new graphs yet, but the errors are gone | 18:12 |
| osmosis_ | okay, now I have graphs too | 18:12 |
| osmosis_ | good thing I saved the files. :) | 18:12 |
| asisak | Yep, sure :9 | 18:12 |
| asisak | I am not aware of your TZ but, the link you sent me (in private) seems to be okay for me | 18:13 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: good idea on just deleting the rrd files. that might do what I need | 18:13 |
| asisak | I did that some times :) | 18:13 |
| osmosis_ | i wonder if a apt-get reconfigure command would have recreated the missing files for me. hmm. | 18:14 |
| osmosis_ | since this channel is DEAD, guess we'll never know. | 18:14 |
| asisak | It is not dead | 18:15 |
| asisak | Actually it is pretty much Saturday everywhere | 18:15 |
| osmosis_ | hehe, most of the other hardcore channels stay strong through the weekend. no that thats healthy or anything, but its hardcore. | 18:15 |
| asisak | :D | 18:15 |
| osmosis_ | there are dudes who are like there 24-7 answering questions i swear | 18:16 |
| osmosis_ | i go away for 12 months, come back...they are still there. amazing. :) | 18:16 |
| asisak | 12 months? | 18:17 |
| osmosis_ | yah, like a break. go outside. get some sun. ya know. | 18:17 |
| osmosis_ | come back, all kinds of new software to learn. | 18:18 |
| asisak | Sounds cool | 18:20 |
| osmosis_ | asisak: do it while you can. now im in a fast paced 9-5 director of development position. | 18:21 |

| jambooda | Does anyone know how to update megaraid on ubuntu server 8.04 | 20:48 |
| jambooda | the one that it ships with is an older version that isn't fully compatible with my Perc 6i raid controller | 20:49 |
| jambooda | Dell released an updated version but its an rpm package | 20:49 |
| jambooda | does anyone have any experience with this? | 20:49 |
| sayotte | is there a way to restrict ubuntu's nfs-kernel-server to NFSv3 or below? | 20:50 |
| sayotte | I am having trouble getting a network install over NFS to work and need some insight into what's going wrong, but ethereal can't decode NFSv4 | 20:50 |
| sayotte | really what I'm aiming for is to figure out the absolute path of the file it's trying to find | 20:50 |
| sayotte | I know the relative path is valid somewhere, but I'm not sure what it's mounted | 20:50 |
| sayotte | and showmount -d lies in nfs-kernel-server | 20:51 |
| Kakurady | I installed LAMP on Ubuntu-server. But /var/www/ is owned by root:root, and I want to write to it somehow (and allow PHP to write to it too). | 20:52 |
| thenewguy | Kakurady: it should be owned by www-data i think | 21:00 |
| sayotte | Kakurady: make apache run as user "www" or somethhing similar | 21:00 |
| sayotte | and change the group-ownership | 21:00 |
| sayotte | make the directories setgid and group-writeable | 21:00 |
| thenewguy | use sudo to write to it more make it urs with chown | 21:00 |
| sayotte | he wants PHP to be able to write to it | 21:01 |
| Kakurady | Okay, and how do I add myself to www-data? | 21:01 |
| sayotte | edit /etc/group and add yourself to the line for www-data | 21:02 |
| Kakurady | ... is there any other way...? | 21:02 |
| sayotte | I'm sure there is some hamstrung half-assed GUI tool out there | 21:03 |
| sayotte | if that is what you're asking | 21:03 |
| sayotte | if you want to do it programmatically I think you'd call "id <user>" to ge ta list of current groups, then use "usermod <user> -G<group list, including the new group>" | 21:04 |
| sayotte | or were you even asking if there is any other way to add someone to a group? | 21:04 |
| sayotte | there are other ways to make the directory writeable | 21:05 |
| Kakurady | I meant GUI, but command line is fine too, | 21:05 |
| Kakurady | though modifying seemed to work... | 21:06 |
| sayotte | :) | 21:06 |
| Kakurady | Nautilus still won't let me write in it. | 21:06 |
| sayotte | try this on a command-line: touch /var/www/blahfile | 21:07 |
| sayotte | if that succeeds, it's a Nautilus problem | 21:07 |
| sayotte | if not then you still don't have write permission | 21:07 |
| Kakurady | Nope, can't create empty file. | 21:07 |
| Kakurady | Neither does mkdir work... | 21:07 |
| sayotte | ok do: ls -l /var | grep www | 21:07 |
| sayotte | and then do: id <your username> | 21:07 |
| Kakurady | Did all those already | 21:08 |
| Kakurady | drwxrwxr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 2008-06-14 15:49 www | 21:08 |
| Kakurady | uid=1000(nekoyasha) gid=1000(nekoyasha) 组=1000(nekoyasha),4(adm), ..., 33(www-data), ... | 21:08 |
| sayotte | well that's odd... try logging out/back in? or reconnecting if you're on a shell | 21:09 |
| sayotte | I wonder if he just found a really obvious solution and left immediately | 21:14 |
| sayotte | or if he's just logging out/in | 21:14 |
| Kakurady | Yes, it works now. | 21:15 |
| sayotte | excellent :) | 21:15 |
| sayotte | did you have to log out/in to make it work? | 21:15 |
| Kakurady | Yeah. | 21:15 |
| Kakurady | ... but Apache can't open what I throw into /var/www ... | 21:16 |
| Kakurady | Oh | 21:16 |
| sayotte | ps -ef | egrep 'http|apac' | 21:17 |
| Kakurady | Nev | 21:17 |
| Kakurady | nvm | 21:17 |
| sayotte | ok | 21:17 |
| Kakurady | Maybe I should just let it run under my user/group since I'm probably only running this for myself. | 21:17 |
| sayotte | I'm just guessing here | 21:18 |
| sayotte | but I bet that whatever user apache runs as by default has a restricted or invalid shell | 21:18 |
| sayotte | expressly for security reasons | 21:18 |
| Kakurady | www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh | 21:19 |
| Kakurady | Even nobody has a valid shell... | 21:19 |
| sayotte | I can't help you any more right now, but my vote is "no" to making apache run as your user | 21:20 |
| sayotte | it's a really bad habit to get into | 21:20 |
| sayotte | and whatever is holding you up is probably something small | 21:20 |
| sayotte | that you will find after a bit more investigation | 21:21 |
| sayotte | you're close at this point | 21:21 |
| Kakurady | Yeah... | 21:21 |
| Kakurady | I think I need to search the forum for this, but basically, every file I copy into /var/www gets owned by nekoyasha:nekoyasha, not www-data:www-data. | 21:22 |
| sayotte | chmod g+s /var/www | 21:26 |
| sayotte | for that matter | 21:26 |
| sayotte | chmod -R g+s /var/www; chgrp -R www-data /var/www | 21:26 |
| * Kakurady facepaws | 21:30 | |
| Kakurady | Thanks... | 21:34 |
| thenewguy | wat does g+s do | 21:34 |
| Kakurady | +s = sticky, I think... | 21:35 |
| thenewguy | ahh and wat does chgrp do | 21:35 |
| sayotte | for directories g+s makes any file created in that directory be owned by the group that owns the directory | 21:35 |
| sayotte | for executable files g+s makes the program take on the group that owns the program, rather than the group of the person who ran it | 21:36 |
| sayotte | and chgrp changes which group owns a file or directory | 21:36 |
| thenewguy | is it bad to make /var/www user right able so it is essier to put files on it | 21:36 |
| thenewguy | write* | 21:37 |
| sayotte | it is bad to make apache run as a normal user, and in particular to make it run as the primary user on a system | 21:37 |

| trappist | I think I'm pretty close to getting sasl auth to work, but I'm stuck on this: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Permission denied | 22:52 |
| trappist | I de-chrooted postfix, added postfix to the sasl group, and checked the perms on /var/run/saslauthd | 22:52 |
| trappist | what could I be missing? | 22:52 |
| sommer | !serverguide | 23:14 |
| ubottu | Factoid serverguide not found | 23:14 |
| sommer | trappist: the serverguide has a section on postfix and configuring it to use dovecot sasl: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html | 23:16 |
| sommer | trappist: but if you need to use cyrus sasl you might double check that the postfix user is in the sasl group (or whatever group owns the sasl dir) | 23:16 |
| trappist | sommer: I'll check out the howto... postfix is in the sasl group | 23:18 |
| trappist | what differences are there between dovecot sasl and cyrus that I would need to use cyrus? I'm trying to auth against system accounts, if that makes a difference | 23:19 |
| sommer | there's not much that I know of... more apps use cyrus at the moment, but the good thing about dovecot sasl is that you can leave postfix in a chroot and still use it | 23:21 |
| trappist | I've successfully used cyrus with postfix chrooted too, it's just more work | 23:22 |
| sommer | with cyrus you to use postfix in a chroot you have to change it's directory which can cause issues with other apps, but depending on your server that may not be a problem | 23:22 |
| trappist | yeah I won't have anything else using sasl for authentication | 23:23 |
| sommer | I take a look at dovecot sasl it's pretty easy to setup | 23:23 |
| trappist | I got a guy in #postfix who's maybe onto something, I'll definitely check out dovecot if he runs out of ideas, thanks for the link | 23:24 |
