[00:08] Hi! I have Apache2 installed on Ubuntu.. works fine internally - can't see it outside DLink DIR655 router... Virtual Server set up and pointing to port 80 on Apache... does anyone have any suggestions? [00:11] Me thinks all are asleep :-) [00:11] what error do you get? [00:12] It times out [00:12] Are you really testing from outside, or are you trying to see it yourself from inside? [00:13] Well I went to dyndns and tried their port test... it indicated hmm just a sec [00:14] Sorry - it indicates: 74.232.187.85:80 was refused. [00:15] Verified IP correct... [00:17] You would need to double check your router settings... no firewall rules overriding the port foraward? and you deffo have your internal IP correct? [00:18] Yes.. internal ip def right... I have not set up firewall.. it's not enabled by default, true? [00:18] oh you mean on router [00:18] I don't mean ubuntu, on the router [00:19] No... I don't think there's anything in the router settings... though I'm not certain it isn't the issue [00:20] So from your machine, you can access the server using 192.168.... or 10.x.x or whatever? [00:20] Yes.. the internal server is 192.168.0.200... I can see that from any computer inside the firewall [00:21] Paulrf: And you have the gateway setup in ubunti correctly to point to your router? [00:21] Yes... the server access the net fine... [00:21] accesses [00:22] Actually, I'm on it now [00:24] I appreciate your help Gargoyle [00:25] Do you see apache listed if you do "netstat -tl" [00:26] actually, do -tln [00:27] I can't remember if apache listenes on all IP's by default or not [00:30] you should have 0.0.0.0:80 in the local address column. [00:34] another good start would be to make sure that your ISP does not block any inbound ports. [00:34] paulrf@paulrf:/etc/apache2$ sudo netstat -tanp |grep apache [00:34] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10001 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [00:34] They say they don't block ports [00:35] that is not listening on port 80. Did you forward external port 80 to 10001? [00:36] I did as a test, but I thought I changed it back.. just a sec [00:37] ports.conf indicates listening on 80... [00:37] where would it pull hte 10001 from? [00:38] hmmm I probably didn't restart apache after I made the change [00:39] tcp 0 0 192.168.0.200:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9163/apache2 [00:39] That looks better [00:40] yup [00:47] Probably wouldn't hurt to reboot your router after you have checked the port forward. Unless you can check the routing tables in your router to make sure it has accepted the update. [00:52] Okay - I just rebooted [00:53] Open port report still showing as refused [00:55] Do you know howto use nmap? [00:57] I don't but I see it's a scanner [00:57] You think the isp may have ports blocked? [00:58] Yup. You could use it to check that your router does actually have 80 open... [00:58] it's not 100% since your router might be blocking scans [00:58] want me to check from here? [00:58] sure that may be quicker [00:58] if you don't mind [00:59] 74.232.187.85 [01:01] doesn't look open [01:01] 25,139,445,593 are showing as open. [01:01] hmmm [01:01] Not sure why 25 would be open [01:02] well, they show as filtered, not open [01:03] Okay.. thanks... not sure where to go from here... [01:03] I'm not that great with nmap, I just use it for basic port testing when I can't run a netstat on the local machine [01:04] where did you enter the rule? [01:04] the rule? [01:05] On your router? [01:06] Under port forwarding or application rules? [01:06] They have an option for " virtual servers" ... I also tried port forwarding [01:07] Virtual Servers just automates the port and type of traffic [01:08] so under virtual servers you had port 80 in both boxes, and 192.168.0.200 for the IP address, and always for schedule and allow all for inbound filter? [01:08] and protocol as tcp? [01:08] yes [01:11] So as far as ubuntu is concerned, if I can see the static page from http://localhost/ and I have the correct port in /etc/ports.conf then all should be fine? [01:11] Paulr1: try http://192.168.0.200/ just incase [01:12] That works fine internally [01:12] localhost = 127.0.0.1 which is the loopback interface. That doesn't mean it is actually working on the network for real [01:12] I can access the page from any internal computer [01:12] with the ip [01:13] then, unless I am forgetting something obvious, that should be OK [01:13] The router shows the IP router IP address as 192.168.0.3 - I also see the web page when I enter that [01:14] I guess I'm back to a router issue then [01:14] baaaa humbug [01:14] you see your apache web page on 192.168.0.3 also? [01:15] Yep - dlink does some translation... it shows that as my IP address (instead of the 74.232.187.85) [01:15] strange! [01:15] Almost sounds like the isp does have me blocked [01:16] I just tested mine using a standard apache install on 8.04 [01:16] http://mediaserver.homelinux.org/ [01:16] Well your's definitely does work [01:17] I've been at this for 2 days now lol [01:17] So, out of the box - there is nothing ubuntu should be doing to throw a spanner in the works! [01:17] okay [01:17] Well I have't configured iptables or anything... [01:18] fresh install yesterday [01:18] I tried port 8080 earlier.. that didn't help... [01:18] Looks like you are gonna have to google and see if anyone else has had issues... [01:18] yep [01:18] Well you've helped me a lot anyway.. I really appreciate it [01:18] no worries [01:19] Have a nice weekend! [01:19] cheers. and you [02:01] sommer: New clamav (0.94) that doesn't build with php-clamavlib. [02:01] sommer: I've put clamav in the team PPA if you want to see what's up and (please) fix it again. === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [04:06] Hi all [04:08] I was wondering if anyone could point me in the proper direction, of how to make a Ubuntu webserver support server side VB-scripting [04:08] if that is possible [04:15] ythe1300, if your talking ASP, there is a module for Apache to sorta have classic ASP support, but its slow, and generally speaking, if you need server side VB/ASP, you should be staying with Windows and IIS [04:16] Or changing scripting solutions :) [04:17] #NCommander ah I was not wanting to stay with windows but I don't know any PHP and my JAVA almost useless right now [04:17] so I think that I may have to start learning [04:17] because I want to throw server 2008 off a large building right now [04:18] : [04:18] :( [04:19] Are there any good guides that you would suggest, or any languages to start off with? [04:19] Thankyou in advance [04:21] ythe1300, what are you trying to do? [04:23] My friends and I are trying to build a website, but we know little about web development, so we where trying to stick with things that we knew, ( VB, HTML, and VS.net) [04:24] Well, VB is deperiated by Microsoft [04:24] but we are so angry about win 2008 server not doing anything that it says it's doing. [04:24] not to mention the updates, restarting the server without asking. [04:25] that we are ready to ditch all MS products [04:26] #NCommander: Yes but I was hoping that there would be some kind of translator ( or something) that would give us a chance to convert what we had already done. [04:27] I guess I don't really know what I want. I am really new to this. [04:28] I don't know if this will help, [04:28] but we are looking to create a site that will need a login, (kind of forum style) [04:28] and just for little apps that we want to create on the site [04:31] also we want to be able to remote login from outside the-network [04:57] NCommander, thank you for the help, Hopefully I will be able to figure that out. :) [04:58] (off to read forums ttfn) [05:03] When I edit virtual hosts files using vim, some show syntax highlighting, some don't. Any suggestions what the difference is? [05:03] I don't have file installed on the sever so `file blah` doesn't work... [05:32] what sort of virtual hosts files? and where are they located? [07:17] hello, is there a way to setup root access for samba, that is, a super-user access that can access entire / ? [07:18] i tried creating "root" account with smbpasswd -a root ... [07:18] but it still won't access [07:18] and i don't have invalid users = root in smb.conf anymore [09:16] hello. i am a newbie and have just setup my Ubuntu Server this morning. if i make a mistake is there any to erase it? [09:18] My apologies i found the site you mentioned for discussions. [09:18] thanks again. [09:22] hi all i chat from italy, i am a system administrator on a big company, but i admin windows system and aix system [09:23] i hope that this channel help me in the administration of linux system, tks all [10:07] Anyone with some experience in aimk in here ? I'm about to try to build sun grid engine for ubuntu.... [10:10] Living in GMT isnt't easy [13:03] * delcoyote hi [14:53] Is sendmail installed on ubuntu-server by default [14:53] +? [14:57] We use postfix for mail servers. [14:57] \o/ Drive-by support requests. [15:57] jpds: those are the best kind, no? [16:07] Heya lamont. [16:08] lamont: Did you see my ping the other day about my new master.cf scripts not making it into the .deb? [16:09] dpkg --contents postfix_2.5.5-1_i386.deb | grep add [16:09] -rwxr-xr-x root/root 4999 2008-09-03 08:28 ./usr/sbin/postfix-add-filter [16:09] -rwxr-xr-x root/root 3906 2008-09-03 08:28 ./usr/sbin/postfix-add-policy [16:09] say again/ [16:09] ? [16:09] now, the manpages? that's a bug [16:09] which is fixed in -2 [16:09] I think [16:09] iz committed in anycase [16:16] lamont: OK. I must have been tired when I looked. Thanks. [16:16] Sorry about that. [16:17] well, manpages showed up when I went looking, since I really expected _4_ lines of output... [16:22] and afk. bbl === melter_ is now known as melter === chuck_ is now known as uzl === uzl is now known as zul [19:02] hi, maybe someone has an idea: have a rootserver, i dont want to reboot. its running 2.6.16.13-4-xen (without PAE support). is there a chance to get a recent kernel running, which has automatic PAE detection? [19:02] i always end up with "Bad file descriptor" when adding the VM [19:02] tried to boot with vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-xen [21:54] hi folks -- can someone please suggest a good piece of VPN Software that is a) easy to configure, b) has good cookbook docs for me to set it up on my hardy gateway, and c) would allow me to vpn in from either windows or linux? [21:56] im having connection issues -- if i posted this already im sorry [21:56] good evening gentlemen [21:56] Looking for a good VPN program that will a) work well on my hardy gateway, b) has good cookbook documentation , and C) will allow me to connect from windows or linux [22:00] Q: I just finished a 6.06 server install. Is there a default root pass? or did I miss it on install? I can't reboot the server or loginto it with root. [22:00] default, there is no root password [22:00] iirc [22:00] sudo su and passwd it [22:00] or put a live-cd in, chroot to it, and passwd it then :) [22:01] ahh got it ! thanks Ian_Corne [22:01] np :) [22:01] I appreciate it. [22:38] i have this: 'getty[8474]: tty1: input overrun" in /var/log/auth.log....can someone tell me what this is? [22:40] hmm [22:40] my first _guess_ would be some1 tried to login with a very long username/password? :p [22:42] someone trying to hack my box I guess? I have tons of the same entrs all from today [22:42] yeah maybe, i don't know [22:43] but they clearly failed :) [22:43] losers. i'll just turn off SSH for a while, they usually move on after a while [22:44] there is nothing on my box even worth hacking :P [22:44] :) [22:46] weird, i am still getting the same message. once a min. or so [22:46] Bulk scans on ssh port are standard. [22:46] Use something like fail2ban if you're worried about it [22:47] J_5 firewall them out? [22:47] yeah, i use denyhosts. i get several hits a day. i have just never seen this message [22:47] it doesn't show an ip or anything, just the message : getty[8512]: tty1: input overrun [22:48] the number changed though [22:49] what exactly is getty? [22:58] ha, hm oops. seems as if there was something laying on the keyboard at the box it's self, hitting all kinds of keys :) [22:59] haha [23:00] good one :p [23:00] this is what i get for cleaning. i was cleaning out some stuff and placed in on the keyboard [23:00] hehe [23:01] :)
