pwnguinmathiaz: i understand you're looking for evolution-mapi testers?00:21
mathiazpwnguin: yes00:21
mathiazpwnguin: if you have access to an exchange infrastructure and have some time to help out testing the evolution-mapi plugin, it would be very helpful00:21
pwnguinwell, i have an ubuntu desktop, and an organization exchange account00:22
pwnguini also have a toy exchange domain but that's kinda for student and all00:22
mathiazpwnguin: great. To get started you'd have to install the evolution mapi plugin00:23
pwnguinright00:23
mathiazpwnguin: and see if you can connect to the exchange server00:23
pwnguinthis is different than the old evolution plugin00:23
pwnguinright?00:23
mathiazpwnguin: I would try with a test account if you can - just to make sure that you don't loose any data00:23
mathiazpwnguin: correct - the new plugin uses the openchange library to talk to the exchange server00:24
pwnguinso what's the test regimen?00:24
pwnguininstall, configure and send an email to ubuntu-server?00:25
mathiazpwnguin: yes - we haven't written up a test case yet.00:26
mathiazpwnguin: but it seems that this would be a good first step.00:26
mathiazpwnguin: if you think about other tests, let us know on ubuntu-server@.00:26

mikegriffinwizardslovak: restart browser, verify correct DocumentRoot01:30
wizardslovakhow i can view folders in /var/www01:31
mikegriffinclarify please01:32
wizardslovakok well i made vhost and i think that file might be actually somewhere else01:32
wizardslovakthats why i want to see what folders i have in /var/www01:33
mikegriffinthis seems like a #apache question, but have you specified a DocumentRoot in your vhost?01:34
wizardslovakyes i did01:34
mikegriffinhaving specified your docroot, you do not have to guess which folder in /var/www, you use the one specified01:35
wizardslovakok i got it01:36
wizardslovaki chnaged documentroot to /var/www/wizzy.us01:37
wizardslovakif i will remove index.html in /var/www will i make mistake?01:38

wizardslovakalthough my rootfolder is in /var/www/wizzy.us02:15
wizardslovakwhen i put my ip i see site , but when i put name it doesnt show02:26

mikegriffinwizardslovak: this is a question for #apache02:35
mikegriffinthe dns may be wrong, but #apache will be able to walk you through it02:35
wizardslovakwell maybe there is something wrong with dns server or i gotta wait?02:36
wizardslovakhow long does it take for dns server to hmmm how to call it restart??!02:37
wizardslovakmy server works cause when i put ip i see web site02:38
wizardslovakso t has to be dns02:38
pmatuliswizardslovak: it depends on the provider, some are practically instantaneous, others can take up to 30 minutes02:39
wizardslovakok so lets wait then02:39
pmatuliswizardslovak: what do you mean by "i change ip to my ip"?02:40
wizardslovakyes02:40
wizardslovakoo sorry02:40
pmatuliswizardslovak: a nameserver ip or an ip in your dns config?02:40
wizardslovakwell i went to moniker and change their ip for my servers ip02:41
wizardslovakit worked before , then i switched nameserver to different host and then back to my server02:41
wizardslovakso its dns problem i beleive02:41
mikegriffinas i said, that was one possible problem, not obviously the problem02:42
mikegriffini would go ask #apache, as i have also mentioned02:42

ApollonovichI'm trying to authenticate postgresql against kerberos.  At the moment I have a net that's mostly suse, and RHEL, but my workstation is ubuntu 9.04.  the SuSE workstations have no problem connecting to the RHEL postgres server, and my ubuntu box can use kerberos to authenticate for samba, but for some reason I can't get a ticket granted for the postgres server.  I'm looking for any possible solutions to this.03:02

twbwizardslovak: anyway, have you read that document?03:32
wizardslovakwhich?03:32
wizardslovaki am not asking how to03:32
wizardslovakquestion is for web site i need email server too?03:33
Maxsilverwizardslovak > To get e-mail at wizzy.us, you need to have access to, or be running a e-mail server somewhere. (Either on the same box, or on another box also tied to your domain name)03:35
MaxsilverIf you need help setting up e-mail services on a ubuntu server, you're looking for this -> http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/email-services.html03:36
wizardslovakthank you maxsilver03:38
wizardslovakso i can run web server with email server on one PC?03:38
MaxsilverYes, the guide link (above) will walk you through installing e-mail service on an ubuntu server box, which you may have already running apache  or other services03:39
MaxsilverI've never actually set up e-mail on ubuntu, so I can't really answer any questions, but that link is the relevant parts of the server guide for how to do it.03:39
wizardslovaklol03:42
wizardslovakthank you03:42
twbI've only set up satellite MTAs, which are trivial -- you install msmtp-mta, postfix or exim4 and just follow the prompts.03:44
twbBut I suspect wizardslovak will need to set up MX records and proper MTA configuration, which I don't know much about.03:45
wizardslovakno i am not trying to set it up03:45
wizardslovaki am just curious03:45
wizardslovakso basically i need to install postfix only03:45
twbwizardslovak: install *and configure*03:49
wizardslovakof course03:49
twbBut basically, yes.  To make a host "do mail", it needs a mail-transport-agent.03:49
wizardslovakby install i mean install and confiure hehe03:50

pwnguinhttp://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/en/man1/replace.1.html04:04
pwnguinwhy's this part of mysql?04:04
mikegriffinit says on the link you posted:          The replace program is used by msql2mysql. See msql2mysql(1).04:05
wizardslovakcan i use webmin for server04:21
wizardslovakor ssh is better?04:21
twbEverything is better than webmin04:22
wizardslovakjust curious04:23
twbPlease do not use webmin, it makes baby gautama cry.04:24
mikegriffinwizardslovak: just use good tutorials, they are more likely to work than a gui04:26
wizardslovakwell reason i choosed ubuntu server is to learn commands and tha ubuntu server is best server distro04:27
twbI dunno that Ubuntu Server is the best server distro.04:29
wizardslovakreviews shows that lol  best reliability04:29
wizardslovakanyway always wanted to learn how to make servers04:30
twbI would describe it rather as a reasonable compromise between proprietary, sysadmin and QA needs.04:30
wizardslovaki got router(ddwrt) is it enough firewall for my server?04:34
twbThat depends on a large range of factors.04:35
wizardslovakwell its simple one domain (maybe 2) and maybe email server later04:35
twbIn particular, note that webmin listens to ALL interfaces by default, accepts password-based logins, and receives NO scrutiny from the ubuntu security team (because webmin is not part of Ubuntu).04:36
wizardslovak"out of the top 500 systems, 439 (87.8%) run a Linux distribution"04:42

jmarsdenwizardslovak: For network traffic monitoring (if you have RAM to spare) try ntop ; for longer term history maybe try argus and ra .. there is no shortage of network management tools... some take time to learn though!05:09
darthanubiswebmin has a bandwidth monitor as well05:09
wizardslovakwell webmin?! i prefer ssh05:10
wizardslovakmy server has 512 memory05:10
wizardslovakcan i see how much is server actually using?05:10
darthanubiswhat does using ssh have to do with webmin?05:10
jmarsdenwizardslovak: Use the free command.05:10
mikegriffinwizardslovak: look at the middle line of the 'free' output05:11
wizardslovak10040005:12
wizardslovakmike thanks, my site is working lol05:13
wizardslovakwhat about hard drive free05:13
jmarsdenwizardslovak: df -h05:14
wizardslovakok here is output on ntop http://pastebin.com/m197aeec305:15
wizardslovakis there real time monitoring command05:16
jmarsdenwizardslovak: That's odd, it always "just worked" for me... looks like it can't find /var/lib/ntop/prefsCache.db05:17
jmarsdenYou can use tcpdump to see what is happening on your network in real time, sure.05:17
wizardslovaktcpdump "no suitable device found"05:17
jmarsdenBut be careful if you use it over SSH, since you will see it display all the SSH traffic... you need to explicitly exclude that to get sane results...05:17
mattt_wizardslovak: you want something tell you how much bw you're using?05:18
wizardslovakyes , and also something like which ip was on my server when/how long05:18
mattt_wizardslovak: there's a handy tool, let me remember what it's called05:19
wizardslovaksure matt take your time05:19
wizardslovaksomething that will log ip/time05:20
jmarsdenwizardslovak: sudo tcpdump  # so it can see the interfaces.  But use sudo tcpdump not port 22  # so it doesn't display your ssh traffic05:20
jmarsdenwizardslovak: argus can do that05:20
wizardslovakargus05:20
wizardslovakso tcpdump 8005:20
wizardslovak??05:20
jmarsdenWhat are you trying to monitor?  Only web traffic?   sudo tcpdump port 8005:21
jmarsdenBut why not just get that info from the Apache log files, if that is all you need??05:21
mattt_wizardslovak: vnstat!  that's the one.05:21
mattt_wizardslovak: oh, vnstat won't log ip/time05:22
wizardslovakso argus??05:23
mattt_if you want to see who's hitting your server, then use the apache/web server logs05:23
mattt_or you can use iptables, etc.05:23
wizardslovaki dont have iptables configured05:24
wizardslovaki use router05:24
jmarsdenwizardslovak: If this is a real server, you should probably learn to at least use ufw to set up a basic firewall on it05:25
wizardslovakok05:26
wizardslovakso i gotta install it first?05:27
jmarsdenYes.  ufw is a very simple command line interface that creates an iptables firewall for you.05:27
wizardslovakok its installed already05:27
jmarsdenman ufw will tell you how to use it.05:28
wizardslovaklol05:29
wizardslovaki see05:29
wizardslovakufw app list05:29
wizardslovakapache,apachefull,apache secure,openssh,samba05:30
wizardslovakdo i have to open port in ufw for ssh05:31
jmarsdenwizardslovak: Yes.05:31
wizardslovakhmmm05:31
wizardslovakdo i have to open 80 port too05:31
jmarsdenYes again; you have to allow everything you want to let in.05:32
twbufw is not active by default...05:33
wizardslovakok but that will allow only for server05:33
wizardslovakother pc on router wont have problem browse internet05:33
jmarsdenufw is only doing things on the machine it is running on.05:33
wizardslovakso for open port 80" sudo ufw 80" tight?05:33
wizardslovakright?05:34
wizardslovakthen 2205:34
wizardslovakand thats it05:34
jmarsdenread the examples section of the man page again :)05:34
wizardslovaki read just making sure05:35
jmarsdenYou seem to have left out the word allow ?05:35
wizardslovakyes i just found the error05:36
wizardslovakok so i allowed 22 and 8005:37
jmarsdenOK, now you can enable it05:37
jmarsdenThen you can set it to default deny05:37
wizardslovakok its enabled05:37
jmarsdencheck your rules are still there, and then set it to default deny05:38
wizardslovakok 80 tcp/upd allow05:38
wizardslovak22 tcp/upd allow05:39
wizardslovakufw default ARG05:39
wizardslovak??05:39
jmarsdenufw default deny05:40
jmarsdenARG can be ALLOW, DENY or REJECT05:40
wizardslovakso ufw default deny , then05:41
jmarsdenYes.05:41
wizardslovakok done05:41
wizardslovakso now it will allow only 80/22 and nothing else05:42
jmarsdenOK, now check people can still get to your web server, and you are all set with firewalling for now.  Yes.05:42
wizardslovakok i can get in05:42
wizardslovaktry it www.wizzy.us05:42
jmarsdenSeems fine :)05:43
wizardslovakhihi thank you05:43
jmarsdenNow you just need ntop to work...05:44
wizardslovaknow i need something to check real traffic and log it05:44
jmarsdenThe apache logs should be there already, try    less /var/log/apache2/access.log05:45
jmarsdenBut really you just need ntop to run...05:46
wizardslovakyes but it doesnt work05:47
wizardslovakhttp://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4bdd0aa205:48
wizardslovakwell i tried sudo ntop05:49
wizardslovakand it asks me for passwor admin user05:49
jmarsdensudo will ask that if you have not used sudo for so many minutes.05:49
jmarsdenBut I think you are confused...05:50
wizardslovakmight be05:50
jmarsdenntop should run in the background, you see what it has done using a web browser...05:50
wizardslovakhow to do that?05:51
jmarsdenfirst sudo ufw allow 3000/tcp   # and then browse to your server's local IP :3000 to see it05:51
billybigriggeri just installed ntop and i get the same error as wizardslovak05:52
billybigriggerwizardslovak, you might want to file a bug05:52
jmarsdenInteresting.... if you do    sudo /etc/init.d/ntop start    does it work?05:53
wizardslovakfailed to connect05:53
billybigriggerbillybigrigger@alixandria:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ntop start05:53

wizardslovakip:3000 "failed to connect"05:53
jmarsdenwizardslovak: even after sudo /etc/init.d/ntop start   ?05:54

billybigriggerthen sudo ntop05:54
billybigriggerenter a password05:54
billybigriggerthen goto localhost:300005:54
billybigriggerworks fine here05:54
billybigriggerhttp://thefrozencanuck.ca:3000/05:54
wizardslovakok i see it now05:55
jmarsdenbillybigrigger: I don't think you opened port 3000 in your router/firewall (but that's good, you don't wanmt everyone to be able to use your copy of ntop!)05:55
billybigriggerahh yeah 10-405:56
billybigriggerforgot you guys can't see that haha05:56
jmarsdenwizardslovak: So for what you need, click on "All protocols" and then "activity" maybe?  Or just click around inside ntop until you find the info you want :)05:58
wizardslovakwhat is port 4850506:00
jmarsdenA port like any other port...06:01
jmarsdenwhy are you asking?06:01
wizardslovakcause i see its in use06:01
wizardslovak48505 and 300006:01
jmarsdenwell, 3000 is ntop listening.  You can do   sudo netstat -ntlp | grep 48505 to see what is listening on that06:02
wizardslovaknothing is hapening06:03
jmarsdenThen nothing is listening on that port.06:03
jmarsdenWhere exactly are you seeing it being in use?06:04
wizardslovaku use verizon?06:04
jmarsdenYes... no choice here (except to use Cable I suppose!)06:04
wizardslovakheh i just wanted to see if ntop works hehe06:04
wizardslovakwhere do you live?06:04
jmarsdenSouthern California06:05
wizardslovakwhat time you have here??06:05
wizardslovakhere is 1am already06:05
jmarsdenjust after ten pm here :)06:05
wizardslovakooo06:05
jmarsdenBTW since we are on IRC, you can do /ctcp jmarsden time    to find that out :)06:07
wizardslovaki am newbie in all this06:07
jmarsdenYour web page kind if gives that impression :)  Anyway, you are learning, which is what matters.06:08
wizardslovaklol since morning i installed server, configure it, registered domain, made website and make it run06:08
jmarsdenPretty good progress.  So now... go to sleep :)06:09
wizardslovaknot tired yet06:09
wizardslovaki've been home 3 days already , i got flu06:09
wizardslovaknot swine lol06:09
wizardslovaki've done everything i wanted today06:10
jmarsdenSounds good... now you just need to get well too.06:11
wizardslovakyeap06:11
wizardslovakif i will turn off server , and lets say turn on tomorrow06:12
wizardslovakall of setting will be still there?06:12
jmarsdenYes, they should be.  You might have to restart ntop, I forget if the default install sets it to run automatically...  sudo /etc/init.d/ntop start   will do it if necessary.06:13
jmarsdenBut it might be more fun to leave it overnight and see who visits your web site while you sleep? :)06:13
wizardslovakyes i will06:14
wizardslovaki wont turn it off tho , just curious06:14
wizardslovakwell site is new and when i type , my web site to google it wont find it06:15
jmarsdenNo, Google takes a long time to find new sites... can be weeks.  it helps if you can get others to link to your site...06:16
wizardslovakhow to stop samba?06:17
wizardslovaki installed it but i dont need it06:17
wizardslovakapt-get remove samba06:18
jmarsdensudo apt-get remove samba06:19
jmarsdenYes.06:19
wizardslovakok done06:19
wizardslovakwhat are cons of having mysql with webssite?06:19
jmarsdenIt is one more piece of software to run?  It uses up CPU and RAM?  Use if if you need it, of course... if you need a SQl database server for a website, it is a very  popular choice.06:20
twbOf course, popular is not the same as clever06:21
wizardslovakwell i got LAMP installed to mysql is there already06:21
wizardslovakwhat is use of mysql with website06:21
jmarsdenIt lets you store information as a database and so get it back out based on queries...06:22
twbFSVO database :P06:22
wizardslovakso for what can i use mysql with my website?06:24
jmarsdenWhatever you can imagine? :)  You could have it store information people enter into a form on the site, and then let people see that information in various ways...06:25
wizardslovakso its good to have mysql06:25
jmarsdenProbably.  See http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Website-Database-Basics-With-PHP-and-MySQL/ for some lessons on how you might use it.06:26
twbGiving PHP and MySQL to a newbie is like giving a bottle of glue, a pack of condoms, and the keys to a GT to a twelve-year-old nephew06:29
twbOh, and a hand gun.06:29
wizardslovaklol i used to own 2k gt heheh06:30
wizardslovaktwb: y so?06:31
twbwizardslovak: ah, just because I hate them, and lots of ignorant people write really awful stuff using them06:33
wizardslovakwell i am not trying to do awful stuff06:34
wizardslovakits for learning purposes for me06:34
twbI'd prefer someone trained to be using (say) Python and PostgreSQL, than for someone to kludge together yet another web forum or CMS using PHP and MySQL.06:34
wizardslovakwell noone trained for mysql wasnt born instantly06:35

jeroomehello everybody08:35
jeroomeI'm installing a server edition over pxe, but I also need xserver running08:36
jeroomeas it isn't in the normal repository for servers, I added a repository with the alternate version08:37
jeroomemy problem is that in that case, everything of the alternate version is installed08:37
jeroometherefor, I took everything out of the alternate Packages.gz file which doesn't concern xserver08:38
jeroomebut apt still isn't able to install xserver08:38
jeroomethe error says that the package is inside the repository, but not available08:39
jeroomedoes anyone has a hint ?08:39

tonyyarussoPhotoJim: NUT is preferred over apcupsd by repository structure.  Any idea if it can as well?15:48
tonyyarussoSo I thought I'd check out eBox and see what all of the fuss was about, and did 'sudo apt-get install ebox'.  Then tried going to https://localhost/ebox/, but got blocked by Firefox having a fit about the self-signed SSL certificate.  How do I get around that?  (It's not showing the usual "add exception" button.)15:56
PhotoJimtonyyarusso: I'm not at all familiar with NUT, but I'm using apcupsd on my server with good success.  It worked for me with Debian so I stuck with it.15:58

lorecasterhi? I want to set up a webserver on a p4 2.8ghz sempron with 512mb ram and a DSL connection.... i'm 100% green to the server linux, and would love some advice.21:23
lorecasterwanted to use ubuntu 9.04 server though21:23
foxbuntulorecaster, are you planning on doing anything production level on your webserver or just to mess around and learn?21:24
lorecasterI'm a writer... i wanted to have a website to host my novel series... low-traffic, low-bandwidth. I've already got a webmaster lined up who's volunteering his time... just need somewhere to -put- the material. so i guess, to answer your question, somewhere in between.21:25
RoAkSoAxlorecaster, you could also rent a VPS21:26
foxbuntulorecaster, that might be a better idea21:26
lorecastervps?21:26
sluimersvirtual personal space?21:26
RoAkSoAxlorecaster, Virtual Private Server21:26
foxbuntusomething like that21:26
RoAkSoAxlorecaster, for example: www.linode.com21:27
foxbuntulorecaster, inexpensive web hosting basically, all setup and supported/backed up21:27
lorecasterthat's the problem, i've got one, and there's some problems with it, and i cannot afford to rent more. it needs to be a larger space to build the system that my webmaster wishes to use. can i ask why you suggest that over a personal server?21:27
foxbuntulorecaster, backups, security, setup, maintenance21:28
lorecasteralready own bluehost space, but i'm sharing it... and i don't want to risk wolf's space if the page screws his space up.21:28
RoAkSoAxlorecaster, take a look to linode.com.. is a virtual server.. instead of having a real one... I am using it.. and works good for me with no problems at all21:29
foxbuntulorecaster, there are allot of hidden tasks most people don't consider when setting up a server21:29
lorecastersuch as? I want to learn about this material, i'm a tech, and have not worked with linux much, been excluslivey M$ for 10 years... things are -very- different in your world.21:29
RoAkSoAxlorecaster, and if you are setting up a public web server... you should not have Gnome or KDE running on it.. because it is a security risk21:30
foxbuntulorecaster, dont be discouraged in setting up a personal LAMP server with Ubuntu, however just take into consideration all the things it requires to maintain it21:30
p_quarlesI don't see how renting a VPS gets around the "hidden tasks"; it's just a better hosting environment than a home computer on a DSL line21:30
lorecasterthe plan had been to set it up and have the hardware in my home-office, while my webmaster does all the work by remote21:30
foxbuntup_quarles, well I am more refering to something that is managed rather than a vps21:30
foxbuntulorecaster, thats still possible with rented space21:31
lorecasteri genuinely do not have the resources though.21:31
lorecasterthat's why i really need to do this myself.21:31
p_quarleslorecaster: you say you share an existing VPS with someone else; adding a second site to that space does not carry any risk to the existing site unless the person managing it is grossly incompetent21:32
foxbuntulorecaster, just like in windows you have to weigh the options of how you plan to do backups (if at all), maintain security patches and testing, things like that21:32
p_quarlesor if it pushes the db server into places it doesn't want to go, I guess21:33
lorecasterthe gentleman who's taking care of my site for me, warned me that i need to make backups of the entire server, incase something goes terribly wrong... and i respect that. The man i share my bluehost account with is unreachable atm, and i need to get the ball rolling on this server issue21:33
foxbuntup_quarles,  agree, there is no reason a VPS cant have multiple sites on it21:33
lorecasterplease don't confuse my meaning, i really appreciate your comments, but i've alread weighed most of this issues21:33
foxbuntulorecaster, alright...np, I just wanted to be clear in my help21:34
p_quarleslorecaster: well, it's easy to set up a machine with Ubuntu Server on it; use the install CD and you're half way there21:34
lorecasteryou've been abundantly clear, and you have my great appreciation. but encountering snags and overcoming them is half the fun of swan-diving into a new OS :D21:35
foxbuntulorecaster, web servers are a sensitive area and need careful consideration, so if you feel you have done that and Ubuntu Server is your choice...then we would all be glad to help21:35
p_quarleslorecaster: you'll need to make sure openssh-server is installed and running, and your volunteer admin should be able to take it from there21:35
lorecasteri know that ideally, i'd use my bluehost account, but i wanted to try this21:35
lorecasteri'll need to stop back, then, when i get everything installed... 2.8 celeron and 512mb ram won't hurt me?21:36
foxbuntulorecaster, look at the documentation for Ubuntu LAMP server, that is exactly what you need to get started21:36
lorecasterperfect21:36
p_quarleslorecaster: that's well more than enough for a small web site21:36
foxbuntulorecaster, should work no problem21:36
lorecasteryou all have my great thanks :D the program shall download in about an hour. thanks again, i'll return if i have troubles. where do i find this LAMP documetnation?21:37
foxbuntulorecaster, google Ubuntu LAMP21:37
lorecasterthanks again.21:37
