[00:00] can someone point me to apache howto site [00:06] ruben23: look in /etc/network/interfaces and see if they're both listed in there. also check lspci [00:07] Hypnoz: i can see them both on the lspci [00:07] on the interfaces i cant see them, ill configure the missing ethernet card..? [00:08] how many interfaces are listed in the file /etc/network/interfaces [00:08] lo, eth0... any more? [00:09] actually interfaces might only show lo huh [00:10] do you see 2 adapters listed in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [00:13] how to transfer my web site from pc to server using command line? [00:16] !scp [00:16] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [00:16] wizard you can use FTP to do that transfer as well [00:16] how? [00:17] right now i am on putty [00:17] ftp username@server [00:18] ok lets say i want to transfer index.html from laptop to server [00:18] how would command look [00:18] one sec wiz [00:18] thx [00:20] ok so, to move around you want to use cd (change directory) so you would log on, then lcd (local change directory) to where the file is on your PC, then once you've LCD to the right place, you want to cd to the location where you want to put the file on the server. Then use put [filename] [00:21] so first, cd [path to the file on your pc] [00:21] toops [00:21] so first, lcd [path to the file on your pc] [00:21] then so first, cd [path to the destination on your server] [00:21] then put index.html [00:22] and all of those steps are after you've already est. connection with ftp un@servername [00:22] wai twait [00:22] where should i write it? in putty or cmd [00:23] i think in putty but i'm a mac guy not too good with windows.. putty is a unix terminal emulator for windows right? [00:23] i use putty to communicate with ubuntu server [00:24] then yes, in putty [00:24] ok so first lcd d:\folder\index? [00:25] i'm not sure if the d: is right [00:25] can you type 'pwd' and tell me what it answers? [00:25] or rather, lpwd [00:25] /home/username [00:26] what about lpwd? [00:27] syntax error [00:27] right [00:27] not all ftp support lpwd i guess [00:27] try it the way you first wrote, "lcd d:\folder\index" [00:28] where should i go to find out how to set up a dns record for my domain? [00:28] but if that doesn't work try "lcd /folder/index" [00:28] lcd command not found [00:28] also wiz this guide is a good one for apache start you asked that above: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html [00:28] well i already configured apache [00:29] i just need web site to be there lol [00:29] oh ok brb [00:29] and then name servers heh [00:30] ok well not all ftp support the l- commands, so try it with absolute paths I guess, like this: [00:30] put /path/to/your/file/local /path/to/your/file/remote [00:32] ok back [00:32] that is not easier than rsync or scp [00:33] so what should i use? [00:33] yeah i've not that familiar with those two progs they may be easier [00:33] personally i like to use samba and just connect with my mac thru vpn ;) then i can use the finder to just move things around [00:33] ftp is good if you have a gui, for command line where you have ssh access, scp -r or rsync -a [00:35] can i actually use scp in putty [00:35] is the remote system on your network? [00:36] its on my LAN [00:36] i am on laptop with xp [00:37] there is apps that let you transfer files over port 22 (ssh connection) like you would with FTP [00:37] that would ease my pain , what its called? [00:38] I haven't tried this one, but http://winscp.net/eng/index.php [00:38] looks promising [00:39] it basically just uses port 22 and your ssh login info to transfer files [00:39] sometimes called SFTP [00:39] cause it mimics FTP functionality over ssh [00:40] lets see [00:43] i am getting error [00:44] scp:/home/folder/index.html Permission denied [00:45] i am trying to copy it to /home/username/website [00:45] i login with username [00:45] maybe i should with root [00:46] you have /home/username/website on an XP machine? [00:46] no [00:46] oh you're trying to copy from your xp to linux [00:47] on xp its on d:\ [00:47] ok, ya the account you're logging in as doesn't have write permission to that folder [00:48] can go to /home/username and "ls -l website" and it will show you the owner and permissions [00:48] ok i did login with root and it works lol [00:48] ya course [00:48] just make sure that is ok that root owns the file [00:48] instead of "username" [00:49] root owns the folder [00:49] should user own folder? [00:49] ya probably [00:49] if its in the user's home dir [00:50] oooo [00:50] i used sudo with mkdir [00:50] yep there ya go [00:50] in /home/username, run "chown username:username -R website" [00:50] ohh thx [00:50] onemore think [00:50] that will recursively change user:group ownership to website and subfolders + files [00:51] ok i tried [00:52] it shows that i cannot change files which are in "Website" folder [00:52] cd /home/username && sudo chown -R username:username website/ [00:52] forgot the sudo [00:52] can't change permissions of root owned folder without sudo [00:53] ok now its esername as owner [00:53] thx [00:53] one more think [00:53] so now when you WinSCP log in as username instead of root [00:54] i am using moniker as my domain controller , and i am trying to use my ip as zone record [00:54] i got type A,host -ubuntuserver,adress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [00:54] shouldnt i use CNAME as record type? [00:55] Can someone help me understand what the groups I'm in are? I understand the first & last, but not the rest... mikelifeguard@binnie:~$ groups --> mikelifeguard adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin [00:55] i got static ip and port 80 open [00:56] Host (A) is for names that point to IP's, [00:57] Good evening [00:57] well yea i want to when someone type website.com to point to my server [00:57] cdrom is self explanatory, plugdev probably means plug and play devices, lpadmin is printer admin, sambashare is something to do with samba [00:58] not sure about adm [00:58] samba is sharing filesystems with windows, isn't it? [00:58] yeah [00:58] yes [00:58] Im having trouble posting to ubuntuforums.org..... firefox just says "connecting to ubuntuforums.org...." and never allows my post to go up. Am i alone? [00:59] I urgently need to post an Apache related question up [00:59] so can I safely remove the group if I don't need it? (I bet there's software installed for that I don't need too...) [00:59] Hypnoz: is there a way to see a description for a group? [01:00] * ekimmargni re-reads man groups [01:00] hmm .. i know the info is held in /etc/group, but i'm not sure if there is descriptions [01:01] might have to google it? [01:01] hypnoz [01:01] i remember there was command that you can check nameservers of web site [01:02] dig? [01:02] dig [01:02] ooo ok i got it [01:02] for searching for commands, try apropos [01:03] ok still hypnoz [01:03] so type A zone record is enough? [01:03] host is my servers name right? [01:03] apparently adm and admin are for using sudo... but the language used is ambiguous - it reads as though they're redundant :\ [01:04] aha! adm is for reading /var/log while admin is for real sudo access [01:04] yeah should be good, A records mean "host" points to "IP" [01:04] good find ekimm [01:05] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2009-July/028556.html [01:06] host is my server name ,right? [01:06] hypnoz try digg wizzy.us [01:07] it should point me to my ip [01:07] but it doesnt [01:07] http://pastebin.com/m427f84f3 [01:08] how long ago did you set up the record? [01:08] 15 mins ago [01:08] internet DNS isn't instant [01:08] i know [01:08] that info has to propagate through the whole internet. changes take even longer [01:09] ok ome moer question [01:09] dnsadmin.moniker.com [01:09] is that where it should be going? [01:10] well my domain is registered with moniker [01:10] ah. so that part is right, then moniker.com has to forward to your system [01:10] ok so i should give it more time [01:11] if you set up the right info in their site, maybe just give it a while [01:11] patience is a virtue grasshopper [01:11] heheh tell me about it , i am carp fishermen [01:12] anytime someone tells me they're a fisherman i picture them on a boat like deadliest catch on discovery channel [01:12] freezing water in the middle of the night [01:12] heheh no no [01:12] pulling up baskets of fish [01:12] i am shore guy [01:12] heheh [01:13] in carp fishing you gotta wait sometimes even 48 hrs [01:13] do i need phpmyadmin? [01:13] cows move slower, become a cow fisherman you wouldn't have to work nearly as hard [01:13] everyone needs phpmyadmin because it is amazing [01:14] unless you enjoy managing your mysql tables from the command line [01:14] then more power to you [01:14] lol [01:14] nah [01:14] ssh port forwarding + GUI tools works too :P [01:15] gui tools are old and broken, webui is the new hotness [01:15] webui? [01:15] web user interface [01:16] thx [01:16] i am newbie [01:17] everyone's gotta be a newbie at some point [01:17] everybody was a newbie once, it's curable ツ [01:17] being a newbie at linux is particularly painful however [01:17] lo not that newbie lol [01:17] but i love it [01:18] ok so i got phpmyadmin [01:18] when itry to sign in with username it doesnt work [01:18] only with root [01:19] need to create new users that you can sign in as then [01:20] it's the mysql username, not the system username [01:20] can do it through phpmyadmin [01:23] Whats the correct 'voodoo' for allowing mod_python to write to a file in the WWW directory? been trying for ages today but its a fail [01:24] Slimu: user permissions... [01:24] AH! [01:24] thanks - thats a chown curse eh? [01:25] ls -ld /var/www [01:25] hypnoz try dig wizzy.us [01:25] what is the user group? [01:26] its different from two different networks I run it from [01:26] Hypnoz: me? www-data [01:26] it seems like it hasn't finished propgating [01:27] that seems right [01:27] was wondering if it was owned by root [01:28] vaguely remember a reverse dns generator but I can't find one for jaunty [01:29] could probably find a website that can do it [01:30] I keep getting a newthread.php saveas dialog box from ubuntuforums - i guess they're working on it [01:32] is there a successor to mkrdns? [01:42] how do i find host name? whats the command [01:43] host name of what? [01:43] of server [01:43] of which server? [01:43] my [01:44] hostname [01:44] sorry i ment hostname [01:44] hostname will give you your server's hostname [01:45] ok so i updated zone record in moniker and my site still doesnt work [01:45] Administrator_: http://p.defau.lt/?UpMIXlQ0SuQRyqZb3p6r_A [01:47] ?? [01:47] I was showing you what the command does [01:47] oo ok [01:48] What is the domain name? [01:48] so as type in zone records is A enought or should i choose different host [01:48] wizzy.us [01:49] * ekimmargni shrugdances [01:49] I dunno much about DNS [01:51] thx [01:54] damn [01:54] in host i should put www [01:54] not my hostname [01:54] btw [01:54] how can i set up email server for my website [02:02] tasksel [02:10] ok got it heh [02:11] now i need someone to help me to set up email [02:13] ok at least tell me how to set up apache for 2 domains [02:25] wizardslowak: do you mean smtp server or web mail? [02:25] smtp [02:25] so i can have email@mysite.com [02:29] wizardslowak: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html [02:29] try Proftpd or vsftpd [02:29] but I suggest you try that in virtual machines first before you put anything on the internet [02:30] i tried some time ago postfix and i had lots of problems with it [02:30] you don't want your server abused by spammers if you misconfigure something [02:37] wizardslowak: in ubuntu you will find nice tools for smtp setting [02:37] yea i gotta check it up [03:46] New bug: #425122 in postfix (main) "Configuration on installation should pop up in a dialog, rather than staying in terminal" [Low,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/425122 [03:46] heh... please configure debconf to do that. I think I might just reassign that one somewhere... [03:50] lamont: Layer 8 [03:51] or even 12 [03:52] Does it go to 12? [03:53] well, I've always been fuzzy on 9+, but there's _gotta_ be something beyond "politics" [04:01] I guess we aren't talking OSI model here? [04:02] Yes, we are, just OSI was incomplete. [04:22] hello, everyone [04:23] I'm writing from guatemala requesting help for a problem with a network card [04:23] if anyone i'll be thanked [04:32] What is there above the application layer? === VK7HSE1 is now known as VK7HSE [04:50] twb: lusers. [04:51] 8 through 12 layers are the "luser layer"? [04:51] Oh, I see, you're all being flippant. [04:52] e.g. "Layer 8: dealing with the bloody change management system" [04:54] The language is flippant, but blaming the user for being an idiot is deadly serious in the case of that bug. [04:57] No doubt. I was confused before, because I thought you were talking about some kind of *serious* extension to OSI. [06:37] what is the TTL format in bind dns records ?

[07:14] kirkland: howdy [07:14] * ttx looks at the branch [07:15] So its an upstream merge to 919 [07:15] ttx: yeah, just multi-cluster fixes [07:15] ok, how did your testing go ?

[07:18] kirkland: ok, go to bed, then :) [07:18] ttx: ;-) almost [07:18] ttx: i'm responding to several days worth of email backlog [07:21] ttx: okay, now i'm calling it a night [07:21] gdnite [07:23] Also free -m for jeos shown a 222 MB usage and for a normal 8.04.3 server shows only 70 MB [07:27] none of my servers are using less than 200MB, but it all has to do with what software is running [07:28] Am I the only one that thinks "jeos" is nearly as awful a name as "gnewsense"? [07:28] jeos is designed for a single purpose, to remove components that would be unnecessary in a virtual environment [07:28] the packages you install on top will be identical [07:33] I only need a really fast http backend server - webfarm, and I was thinking to strip jeos a little further, what do you guys think ? [07:36] I think you should only use it if you're in a virtual environment [07:37] if you need more optimization than the standard ubuntu server, then you should be compiling your own kernel and such anyway [07:37] ubuntu server isn't exactly a heavyweight [07:37] ok, thank you [07:38] no, itś not, but for a backend http server there is no need for sound, floppy and netfilter in my opinion [07:38] and probably other modules [07:39] Don get me wrong, I like ubuntu server the way it is, I am running into production with 3 8.04 servers [07:40] I'm of the opinion that unless that minute increase in performance is absolutely necessary, it's not worth the hassle [07:41] I'd rather stick to a common platform [07:41] makes troubleshooting a lot easier [07:41] you are right here [07:43] qman__, is there a way to specify at boot what kernel modules should be loaded [07:43] you can prevent modules from being loaded by blacklisting in /etc/modprobe.d [07:46] It seems good [07:46] I also read about some modules.conf in other distributions [08:47] Can I install the newest version of ufw on 8.04 LTS? [09:23] hi [09:23] is there a way to know what type of Hardware RAID has been configured?

[09:38] <_ruben> i'd say it does [09:38] ever: That's a common setup. [10:06] ever, that's a sensible setup, since it eliminates the overhead of running a filesystem in a file on a filesystem [10:14] ok, that's what i thought.. but vmbuilder does not support this right away?

[16:38] I waited 8 minutes before first command and still triggered it [16:38] eucalyptus will do a hard reset on db connections after 5 tries [16:39] ttx: it's the first command that will actually trigger the process to start the db and lead the hard reset? [16:39] but it will by itself do some of those tries [16:39] the first command will do one of the 5 tries [16:40] ttx: gotcha [16:40] euca explicitely waits for 5 failures before deciding to hardreset. grep "Reset" on cloud-output [16:40] or "DEADLOCK". [16:41] the test is : reboot, "euca-describe-availbility-zones verbose" [16:41]
