[13:48] ivoks: I actually meant ext4 :-) [13:48] i don't trust ext4 that much yet [13:48] i use in on my laptop, but not on servers... yet [13:48] ivoks: well... that's why I used ext4 as a troll, yes :-P [13:48] anyway, that's 8.04, so ext4 wasn't an option [13:49] n0gear: ? [13:49] ah...

[14:26] It would seem more sensible to try to package them against a virtual package "web server" [14:27] Depends: dbconfig-common, debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, apache2 | lighttpd | httpd [14:27] ivoks: what was that from? [14:27] apt-cache show roundcube-core [14:28] Yeah, I see what you mean [14:28] so, install lighttpd [14:28] and it won't install other web servers [14:30] ivoks: what do you make of this then? http://pastebin.com/m3af1bc6b [14:31] probably php pulls apache in [14:31] right [14:31] Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4) | libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4) | php5-cgi (>= 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4), php5-common (>= 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4) [14:31] so, install php5-cgi first [14:33] ivoks: you're a star.. thanks! [16:57] in days of disks with more than 1TB, how sane is to provide support for ext2 and ext3? :(( [16:57] i will not use ext3 any more [17:02] If you partition, like is sensible for servers, ext3 is fine for OS but not data. [17:03] i'm fscking 10TB ext3 [17:05] ivoks, how many days is gonna take you :) [17:05] i hope less than 2 [17:05] cause on monday, that data should be available to the users [17:05] that's a lot [17:10] oh, yeah...

I'm looking for a way to duplicate traffic from one nic to another. I.e. traffic comes in on eth0 and does whatever it normally does) but also duplicates it out to eth1, for processing by another system. I've found an iptables patch that seems to offer a similar function, but nothing default [17:56] uh [17:56] Kind of like bridging it, but not bridging it as well :) [17:57] i'm not sure you could... clone a package [17:57] you could redirect it... [17:58] ivoks, condor contains a debian directory in src/packaging/debian. Should I base my work on that or I should pay attention to it? [17:58] Redirect? Sounds like it could work [17:58] have you looked at ifenslave? [17:58] I haven't, but Iwill now you've suggested it, thanks! [17:58] redirect means that it won't be available on the first interface [17:58] Could I redirect it to multiple ports do you think? [17:58] RoAkSoAx: oh, that's nice... i haven't looked at it :/ [17:59] ropetin: sure; but you just want to forward all traffice from eth0 to eth1? [17:59] that's not duplicating [17:59] that's moving [18:00] ivoks, what should I do then? [18:00] RoAkSoAx: use that [18:00] Hmmmm, lemme think on this more, I'll get back to you when I know what I really want to do [18:00] RoAkSoAx: check if there's ITP in debian for condor [18:00] Thanks! [18:01] ivoks, ITP ? [18:01] intention to package [18:01] people that would like to package something for debian, report ITP 'bugs' [18:02] ivoks, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=233482 [18:02] Debian bug 233482 in wnpp "ITP: condor -- high throughput computing job scheduling" [Wishlist,Open] [18:03] ivoks, though it is a bit old [18:04] RoAkSoAx: look at last email [18:04] there are some incompatibilities with debian [18:04] RoAkSoAx: leave it; work on something else :) [18:05] ivoks, Ok, I guess I'll work on cobbler [18:05] soren, ping! [18:05] yep [18:08] hey everyone [18:09] so here is the deal. I like to keep everything (configurations, data, docroot) in a folder heirarchy under /web/ [18:10] how do i tell Apache to look for it's configuration there? does that require a re-compile? [18:12] one thought I had was to simply move the apache2 configurations to that directory, and include apache2.conf or httpd.conf or whatever the default is from the default config file. (the default config file would have nothing in it other than the include) [18:12] configuration for apache? why? [18:12] ivoks, why what? [18:13] you could add a file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ [18:13] with this line: [18:13] ivoks, I don't just want custom configuration... that's part of it [18:13] Include /web/configuration/*.conf [18:13] but what I want is a completely working set of apache configs in /web/conf/apache/ [18:14] I have multiple machines, and having all of my configs, data etc in one place is convenient for getting a uniform environment running across all machines [18:14] mount bind? [18:14] so, /web is NFS? [18:14] or some sort of shared filesystem [18:14] ivoks, no [18:15] just a regular directory [18:15] but being able to tar up /web/ in one shot, and drop it onto my other machines is convenient [18:15] well, create /web/conf [18:15] copy all from /etc/apache2/* to /web/conf [18:16] bind mount /etc/apache2/ to /web/conf [18:16] and that's it [18:16] hmm, I guess that's a pretty reasonable plan [18:17] though won't I have to worry about apt-get changing or creating files there? [18:17] create a script that would umount /etc/apache2/, do an upgrade and then mount again [18:18] reasonable [18:19] i've never tested this, so it might not work [18:19] but atm, i don't see why it wouldn't [18:20] but... [18:21] i also have need for my configuration [18:21] and i just drop mu conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d [18:21] everything you configure there will override what's defined in apache2.conf [18:22] or add a file that will include stuf from /web/conf/* [18:23] if you go with a script that will umount and mount, be sure to stop apache before umounting [18:25] if you were going to write a script for that why not just write a script that checks the conf file in etc/apache2 against the one in your shared directory and update if necessary? [19:02] iamslango: you need a configuration/change management system [19:02] if you need to manage configs across a lot of boxes [19:02] not ugly hacks :) [19:02] giovani, it's not really a lot [19:02] 3 or 4 [19:03] but they all have identical configs? [19:03] ideally [19:03] they aren't the same machine [19:03] is this a load-balanced setup? [19:03] not even similar distros [19:03] giovani, nope [19:03] then how are the configs identical? [19:04] just 2 development workstations, a testing server and a production server [19:04] giovani, apache configs [19:04] not system configs [19:04] omg [19:04] right, I understand that -- but, dev stuff shouldn't be identical to production and testing stuff [19:04] configs for apaches are different accros distributions [19:04] you probably have different apache versions [19:04] that too [19:05] ivoks, no, I take great pains to keep versions in sync [19:05] in sync? [19:05] heh [19:05] still, they aren't compiled the same [19:05] why would dev and testing machines be on different distros than the production? [19:05] ivoks, how do you know? [19:05] that's so bizarre [19:05] iamslango: because every distro does so by hand, with their own patches, and modifications [19:06] iamslango: for start, fedora/redhat calls it httpd, debian/ubuntu apache [19:06] giovani, the workstations are different [19:06] ivoks, that's a trivial difference [19:06] iamslango: if they're "dev workstations" -- then they should be the same [19:06] iamslango: not [19:06] clearly they're running the webserver ... why? [19:07] iamslango: one has LockFile /var/lock/apache2/accept.lock and the other LockFile /var/lock/httpd/accept.lock [19:07] and let's not get into /var/log [19:07] or /usr/share [19:07] this is what config management is for [19:07] so, it's not that trivial [19:07] and this is why blatant copying of configs is improper [19:08] listen to giovani [19:08] or... compile apache on your own [19:08] I realize the temptation to simply copy files around [19:08] it's simple when you've only got a few boxes [19:08] ivoks, I do compile my own apache on my archlinux machines [19:08] and my own PHP [19:08] in fact, everything is archlinux [19:08] but, it's really not scalable, and it's not going to work well in your situation either -- nor do I think you even want highly similar configs across your dev and production boxes [19:08] except this ubuntu box [19:09] and I don't really care enough about this machine to do anything complex [19:09] then put archlinux instead of ubuntu [19:09] and then share config files [19:10] anyway, how I set up my personal blog isn't really worth this much debate [19:11] your personal blog has a production, testing, and 2 dev boxes? [19:12] and cause of one web site you want to share configs [19:12] and you compile apaches? [19:12] where one web site = blog [19:13] it's great if you are going to learn something, but don't get carried away... [19:16] ivoks, the dev boxes aren't servers... perhaps I should have been clear [19:16] they are workstations for development [19:16] not servers [19:16] the testing server is just on my local network [19:16] I may or may not actually use it [19:16] so, workstations don't have apache running? [19:18] if they run apache, they're "servers" for the intents and purposes here [19:19] brb [19:22] well, right, they are servers in the sense that they run an apache instance [19:23] but they aren't solely webservers [19:23] they are workstations which happen to run a server [19:24] so, in the light of our discussion, they are servers [19:25] and you want to share configuration for apache across couple of servers with two distributions [19:26] in this discussion, we don't care if you are running postfix or firefox side by side with apache [19:29] ivoks, right [19:29] but these aren't mission-critical things here [19:29] if there are some rough edges, so be it [19:29] sure, I'll probably have to make adjustments from one machine to the next [19:30] the benefit is in having everything in a uniform location on all machines [19:30] I know exactly where to look for my server configs, my docroots, my mysql database tables and so on [19:31] and otherwise, you don't? [19:31] i, to some extent, understand what you are trying to achive [19:31] ivoks, keeping everything I need to worry about under one directory structure helps me stay organized and simplifies things [19:32] keeping a similar set of configuration files (ie. picking a standard way of organizing my apache configuration) also makes my life easier [19:32] i haven't used non-debian distributions for a bit over decade [19:33] heh [19:33] I wish I could say the same [19:33] even if there are changes, having a standard of all vhosts in one file, or 1 vhost per file makes things simple [19:33] so i don't know exactly how others (except for redhat, solaris and freebsd) handle that [19:33] but debian has very nice fature, called sites-available|enabled and conf.d [19:33] it's not so much about copying identical configurations [19:33] and everything you are talking about know, fits into conf.d [19:33] just having a standard organization to my configurations and data [19:34] ivoks, that can be done on every distribution [19:34] so, you are reinventing sites-available :D [19:34] sure it can [19:34] you just include sites-available/* [19:34] do it on archlinux and just copy configuration to sites-available [19:34] and enable it, or whatelse [19:34] ivoks, that's what I'm doing [19:35] something similar [19:35] but I still like the idea of keeping it all separate from the rest of the system [19:35] outside of /etc/ [19:35] in its own heirarchy [19:36] heh [19:36] that way i don't have to remember if my apache configuration is in /etc/apache2 on ubuntu, but in /etc/httpd/ on archlinux and in /opt/local/apache2/ on OS X [19:37] right ... you only have to remember that exact same stuff for the 100 other apps on your box [19:37] this is so pointless [19:37] this is what config management is FOR [19:37] to take all of this away from memory [19:37] and automate it [19:37] for 20 different platforms [19:37] automatically [19:38] look at puppet and that other thing [19:38] cfengine, puppet, the list goes on [19:38] or, compile your own apache [19:39] I'll look into puppet [19:39] anyway, it's time for me to shwoer [19:39] well look into all of them [19:39] not just one [19:40] will do [19:40] thanks for the recommendation [19:40] I made this recommendation about 30 minutes ag [19:40] ago* [19:41] we could've all saved time if you took it then [19:41] hehe [19:41] you haven't said the name of the tool [19:41] nothing too google for :) [19:41] bah, to [19:41] I said "config management" [19:41] I don't encourage single tools [19:41] giovani, you're more than a little bit condescending about things [19:42] that's why I ignored you from the beginning. [19:42] anyway, I have a baseball game to get to [19:42] giovani: hahahahaha [19:43] giovani: that's what you get when you try to help someone [19:43] indeed -- he thought he knew best, couldn't do much to convince him otherwise [19:44] i felt that too [19:44] it was like 'nah, i have to work this ubuntu too, so i'll ask those newbies at ubuntu-server'' [19:44] heh [19:45] I just don't understand the point of asking for help when you don't want it [19:45] if you feel like you know best ... then go do it that way, and don't complain [19:46] people don't know how to do it [19:47] so, they want to found out how to do something by (missing english word) the product you use [19:47] :D === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben [20:54] I've been trying to get subversion installed on my newly set up server, but I think I screwed up the configuration somewhere along the line. I followed tutorials on setting up the server with Apache 2.0, dav_svn or something like that. I would like to remove SVN completely and set it up fresh, will someone help me do that? [21:00] PhyloGenesis: undo the steps you did [21:00]
