[01:51] hey vim users, is there a way to get the syntax highlighting colors as rich as the same color theme in gvim? [01:54] huh? [03:49] I recently performed a fresh Ubuntu LAMP install. Using phpmyadmin to interface with the MySQL server, I noticed that there were a couple of user accounts created by default, such as "ANY" and "debian-sys-maint". Are these necessary for the LAMP server to operate? [03:50] The "ANY" user has no password set, which is of concern [04:29] hello medic33 [05:43] I installed ubuntu server in vmware, its telling me to install vmware tools by mounting the virtual cd drive, how can i do that ? [05:46] I don't know vmware, but if you've somehow told it to map the physical CD-ROM drive to a device presented to the Ubuntu Server guest, then it's probably somewhat automatic [05:49] "mount /cdrom" ? === Deeps_ is now known as Deeps [07:19] guys has any of you got a csr signed before? can you help me out === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [08:18] does anyone know how to create a new mail acount in postfix? [10:39] I need some suggestions. I'm running a LAMP installation on hardy, and I need a program to update with afraid.org. What client should I use that's easy to configure? [11:53] * delcoyote hi [11:54] anybody familiar with pure-ftpd? nice piece of software btw. But I cant achieve to process the transfer.log into my stats analyser, because the log file is rw root-only. How can I make it www-data readable by default? [12:06] http://pastebin.com/d6ebf7121 Does that look correct? it's my network interface. [13:21] J-_: that's not enough [13:22] you need to put in more than that [13:22] there's network, and broadcast [13:22] you need both of those too [13:23] shubuntu: what will network and broadcast be? I'm on a dynamic IP [13:24] ooh you can't assign a dynamic ip statically [13:27] huh? [13:27] that is enough [13:27] you dont need network and broadcast in there as well [13:27] =\ [13:28] if you want to define them, in your case, network would be 192.168.1.0, broadcast 192.168.1.255 [13:28] your netmask already makes that clear though [13:28] I still don't know why my domain isn't working then. [13:29] what's your domain? [13:29] http://www.bytebind.com [13:29] i see 'test by justin' blog [13:30] wtf [13:30] whoops [13:30] Deeps: could you do a screenshot for me? [13:30] Does it looks like a drupal installation? [13:30] yep [13:30] ... [13:31] I wonder why it's not working locally then [13:31] if you're within your NAT'd lan, trying to connect to your WAN ip, you'll be hitting your router [13:31] and your router wont do the port forwarding for local (lan) clients [13:31] alter your local hosts file so www.bytebind.com hits the lan ip of the server (192.168.1.120?) and then try [13:31] I mean I can use my LAN IP and my domain will work. But, prior to hardy(dapper) I could go to my .com website, and it would show up as well. [13:32] Deeps: how would that be done? [13:32] are you using an ubuntu server as a router? [13:32] don't set your ip manually [13:32] set it through dhcp [13:32] you should be good [13:32] Deeps: no. [13:32] shubuntu: why would you want a server to aquire an ip from dhcp? [13:33] because he doesn't know what he's advertising his ip as [13:33] J-_: then your upgrade from dapper to hardy shouldn't have any effect, as it'd be your router thats handling the nat traversal [13:33] and where the main entry for his network is [13:33] hmm [13:33] shubuntu: he has a server on his lan behind his nat router + wan gateway [13:33] Deeps: Indeed [13:33] shubuntu: said server shouldn't have a dynamic address or it can cause problems, especially when port forwarding comes into play (updating all forwards to point to new ip) [13:34] do a netstat -nat [13:34] J-_: what OS are you on? [13:34] J-_: (as in, your client that you're connecting to your server from) [13:34] Deeps: Currently Ubuntu(Hardy) on my laptop. [13:35] J-_: open /etc/hosts in a text file [13:36] Done [13:36] format is ip hostname [13:36] eg [13:36] 192.168.1.120 www.bytebind.com [13:36] Will try it, thanks. [13:36] (incase that wasn't already clear) [13:38] I do so, restarted network interfaces and it seems it didn't do anything [13:38] you may need to restart your browser, as that caches hostname->ip [13:39] hey edit /etc/hosts [13:39] make sure your ip is properly set for your domain.tld [13:39] then echo subdomain.domain.tld > /etc/hostname [13:40] then /etc/init.d/hostnam.sh start [13:40] then if you type in hostname [13:40] you should get your correct domain [13:40] would be correct if he had subdomain.domain.tld set to resolve to his lan ip, which would then also be incorrect to publish to the internet [13:40] then type in hostname -f [13:41] no he should set his lan ip as eth1 [13:41] his eth0 should be his real ip [13:41] the one outside the router [13:41] then what would his router use? [13:41] eth0 [13:41] but his router isnt his ubuntu server... [13:41] his machine would connect locally using eth1 [13:42] and externally using eth0 [13:42] he's not using an ubuntu server as a router... [13:42] so what [13:42] at least, not this server in question, anyway [13:42] I've always used eth0 [13:42] the router does the routing [13:42] this server isn't a nat gateway, it's simply another machine behind the nat router. [13:42] That didn't do it though, I'll google some. [13:43] Maybe I have to log in and out again. [13:44] try all [13:44] :P [13:44] possibly, i'm not very familiar with using linux desktops === BrunoX1ambert is now known as BrunoXLambert [16:34] Is it possible to automount an external drive easily on a LAMP server? [17:46] What does the *L* in LAMP server stand for? [17:50] Linux [17:57] hence WAMP where Linux becomes Windows or SAMP where linux becomes Solaris, or MAMP where it becomes MAC [18:11] hi [18:11] I'm having a strange problem, I have a samba+ldap pdc on hardy (samba 3.0.28a) [18:12] I can join other samba machine w/o problems [18:13] on those btw wbinfo -g works while wbinfo -u don't (Error looking up domain users) [18:13] any idea? [18:22] hi [21:16] I'm trying to use some variables as part of a complex pipe in a custom init.d script and it doesn't seem to be working, anybody here proficient in such things? [21:30] nm, figured it out [21:54] quick question: Got Ubuntu Server 8.10 on an old 500Mhz/256MB RAM/13GB HD box. I believe i've found the proper "incremental backup solution" on the help page w/ simple scripts. However i want to create a /complete/ Image so if i ever need to reimage the drive, or a new one i can. Anyone have any tools in mind capable of doing that? [21:57] partimage [21:57] altf2o: dd [21:58] or dd, if space isn't an issue [21:58] I was trying to remember the one that skipped empty blocks but can't think of it. [21:59] partimage is probably what I was thinking of. [21:59] perfect. Now i do have multiple partitions, that wouldn't impact my ability to successfully reimage correct? Or might some "links" or other settings be lost in that process? [22:00] I.e. if i go from my current multi-partition setup, to a new install w/ a single partition & swap space only [22:00] partimage skips empty blocks, or at least, compresses them down so they're small enough [22:00] if you restore from an image, you're restoring the original partitioning layout too [22:00] although if you want a full disk image from multiple paritions, you may be better off piping dd through gzip [22:01] as partimage makes images per partition [22:02] ok, perfect. I'll kind of weigh my options & go from there. I would just hate to be S.O.L. in the event of a hardware crash. I'd hate to setup all the stuff on this box again, lol. [22:02] rephrase: The nerd in me would love it, the logical part of me would think, "Idiot should've made an image" [23:08] Hi Everyone. I'm running Wordpress, PHP, Apache, and MySQL on an Ubuntu machine (to use as a webserver). It is wirelessly connected to my network. Every 10 minutes or so, I can't connect to the server and if I ping it, I get the message "host is down/unreachable". I've gone through and pulled back all of the energy saving settings to no avail. [23:12] running a server over wireless is bound for failure [23:13] I wouldn't trust it anyway [23:14] wireless is fail [23:15] maintain an active ping to the server [23:15] or some other kind of active session with traffic going back and forth over the wireless [23:15] if it still drops out after a while, then it's not energy saving issues [23:15] it's a shoddy wifi card / access point [23:16] Hello, and sorry to disturb. I'm having an issue with my server, was trying to create a self signed SSL certificate to be used with Dovecot.. but I can't get the hostname right.. should be only "hostname", instead, it states "hostname.domain", and it always returns an error when I check the emails.. anyone could point me where to look to fix this? [23:35] Nevermind, I've found the error. (was a different default filename used on the docs I was going by. >.<) === liberfiasco is now known as libervisco
