ghostlinescan anyone help me with a cod4 dedicated server setup?00:09
ikoniawhats the problem ?00:10
ghostlinesi run the server, but can't connect to it to join a game00:10
ghostlineswhen i do a nmap scan the port isn't open so I'm not suprised00:11
ikoniadrop you're firewall00:11
ghostlinesnetstat also doesn't show anything00:11
ikonianmap isn't the best tool to check00:11
ghostlinesthe firewall in my router you mean?00:11
ikoniathen the server isn't running00:11
ghostlinescuz i don't have ufw setup in ubuntu00:11
ikoniaif netstat doesn't show it listening, it's not running00:11
smackdin squirrelmail im getting this error.. what does this mean..00:11
smackdTransaction failed00:11
smackd554 5.7.1 <matt14213@yahoo.com>: Relay access denied00:11
ikoniasmackd: it means youre mail server is not setup as a mail relay00:11
ikoniasmackd: look at your smtp server settings00:12
ghostlines i don't have a firewall setup, unless ubuntu confifures one by default00:13
ikoniaghostlines: it's not listening00:13
ikoniaghostlines: that's the problem, not the firewall00:13
ikoniaif netstat doesn't show it as listening - it's not running00:13
ghostlinesmy bad you said something about a firewall so i commented on that00:14
ghostlinesindeed it isn't running00:14
ghostlinesbut in my cod4 console it does say that it's running strange00:14
ikoniaso there is your answer00:15
ghostlinescool, I'll look into why the codserver is giving probs, thanks for your help00:16

XiXaQI'm wondering about this with encrypted home and mailserver. Will it work at all? Would it make it possible to setup a mailserver where even I cannot read the mail of my users at all?01:44
apersonhowdy: my server isn't serving up php files, my browser asks to download  phtml files01:47
apersonI've gone through the troubleshooting with the ubuntuserverguide01:47
jmarsdenaperson: Is the issue with .php files, .phtml files, or both?  And which version of Ubuntu Server are you running?01:56
apersonjmarsden, I am running ubuntu-desktop and I installed lamp via tasksel01:58
aperson9.1001:58
jmarsdenOK... and if you create a file called say test.php does that render correctly?01:59
apersonyes01:59
jmarsdenBut test.phtml does not.  Sounds like you just need to add a handler for .phtml files somewhere... let me explore ...02:00
apersonI do not have any phtml files02:00
apersonor at least everything is .php02:01
apersonit's just the index.php that won't work02:01
jmarsdenAHA... then it is not PHP handling you need to change just the DirectoryIndex setting02:02
jmarsdenNote that saying "my server isn't serving up php files" when in reality you mean "my server is not serving index.phtml" is confusing to those trying to help you...02:02
apersonsorry02:02
apersonI didn't realize that it was just the index.php that wasn't working up until you said reminded me that the test.php worked02:03
apersonwow, sentences, I apparently can't form them02:03
jmarsdenOK.  Try editing the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf so the DirectoryIndex line has index.phtml at the end of it, and restart apache2 and retest02:05
apersonnope02:07
apersonstill asks to download it02:08
jmarsdenHmmm.  If you create a test.phtml file it definitely renders OK, right?02:09
apersonlet me double check02:09
apersonanything specific I should put in there?02:10
jmarsdensome PHP :)02:10
apersonsadly, I know none02:10
apersonI'll change the test.php02:10
jmarsdenYou are setting up a PHP web server without knowing PHP?  ... OK... try the contents of http://pastebin.com/f75a19f9f02:11
apersonrenders fine02:11
jmarsdenOK, so it is definitely indexing related.02:11
jmarsdenWhere did you get the PHP you are working with and does anything else you did define DirectoryIndex somewhere?  a .htaccess file perhaps?02:12
apersonI don't have any .htaccess files02:12
apersonthis is for an irpg02:12
apersonit worked fine on my old server02:13
jmarsdenOld server as in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS?   Or something else?   I'll set up a fresh apache2 install in a VM and add index.phtml to that line in dir.conf and test here...02:14
apersonI haven't edited any configs other than what you've had me do and creating a /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn02:14
apersonI think I was running 8.10 at the time02:15
apersonbtw, thank you for your help so far02:15
apersonmaybe if I create a .htaccess for it to process the file?02:17
jmarsdenOK... let's see if I can duplicate this.  On my (Ubuntu 9.04 amd64) desktop index.php definitely works as expected...02:18
apersonhmm02:18
apersonI can try purging and re-installing everything02:19
jmarsdenIs the file named /var/www/index.php or is it somewhere else?02:19
apersonjust to be sure we have a clean install02:19
apersonit's in /var/www/irpg/index.php02:19
apersonlet me see if it'll work in /var/www/02:19
apersonthat one works02:20
apersonso it's just the other dir02:20
jmarsdenOk, pastebin that config file you put under conf.d somewhere so I can see what is in it, please02:21
apersonthe fqdn?02:22
jmarsdenYes, if that is what you called it.02:22
apersonServerName localhost02:22
jmarsdenNo... use pastebin, don't put all of it here :)02:22
apersonthat is it02:22
jmarsdenOh.  That's all?  OK...02:23
apersonthat was just to stop apache from complaining when I started it02:23
jmarsdenI'll have a fresh 9.10 server VM running here in a few minutes I can test with... if I can reproduce the issue I can almost certainly fix it too :)02:23
aperson:D02:24
jmarsdenBTW a sane one line test.php or test.phtml or index.phtml or whatever would be    <?php phpinfo(); ?>02:27
apersonthat's what I was using :)02:28
jmarsdenOK... booting into my new fresh 9.10 server Vm now...02:30
apersonhuzzah02:31
apersonvirtualbox?02:31
apersonooh, permission error perhaps?02:33
jmarsdenYes, virtualbox... and it works fine for me in /var/www/irpg/index.php  "out of the box", no config changes at all.02:34
apersonblast02:34
jmarsdenwell, at least it suggests you are not facing some new weird 9.10 bug :)02:35
jmarsdenYou can try changing the perms on index.php but as long as they are at least 644 all should be well.02:35
apersonno dice02:36
jmarsdenAnd perms on /var/www/irpg are sane too?02:38
apersonyes02:38
poningruaperson, what is the issue?02:38
poningrureading up02:38
apersonI 777'd everything just for now02:38
poningruhmm02:38
poningruI see02:38
apersonponingru, I can serve index.php from /var/www/ but not from any folders below it02:39
poningruoh?!02:39
poningruwtf02:39
apersonI wonder if it'd do the same for an index.html02:39
poningrucan you pastebin your apache2.conf?02:39
apersonsure02:39
poningruand your default-ssl from sites-enabled if appropriate02:40
apersonhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/312929/02:40
jmarsdenUnchanged from the default, as far as I can see.02:42
poningrulooking02:42
apersonoff-topic: THERE'S A /etc/apache2/magic02:42
poningruyeah02:42
poningrulol02:42
poningrubtw yeah was re: jmarsden02:42
jmarsdenaperson: There is indeed, but it shouldn't have anything in it about PHP or PHTML02:44
apersonI know it doesn't have to do anything with my problem, I just found it amusing02:44
apersonstill want the default-ssl?02:45
jmarsdenaperson: Sure.  Re magic files:   man file      to read about magic files and what they are used for :)02:46
apersonhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/312931/02:46
jmarsdenaperson: You can even    man magic    :)02:47
apersonI haven't changed anything from the defaults that I know02:47
jmarsdenYes, that looks nice and boring too...02:48
jmarsdenaperson: Can you check the issue is with all subdirectories (maybe just irpg??)... sudo mkdir /var/www/somedir && sudo cp -p /var/www/irpg/index.php /var/www/somedir    and then browse to localhost/somedir/index.php02:50
apersonwill try 'er out02:51
apersonit... works?02:52
apersonnow I'm bothered02:52
apersonso it's the directory02:52
jmarsdenOK, so is there another file index.* under /var/www/irpg/   or is there a file /var/www/irpg/.htaccess ?02:53
jmarsdenactually, I'm relieved... it isn't apache, it is something you put in that directory :)02:53
apersonlast I checked I didn't have any .htaccess files02:53
apersonthere are no other files with the name index02:54
jmarsdenOK, you can check if it moves with the directory, so   sudo mv /var/www/irpg /var/www/irpg-new and then browse to http://localhost/irpg-new/index.php02:55
jmarsdenBasically from here we can narrow down the cause until we find it...02:56
apersoncould it be that the files aren't in the right group?02:56
jmarsdenFor read access is shouldn't matter.02:56
jmarsdenMove irpg to irpg-new, test , then we can move somedir to irpg and retest that...02:57
apersonwill do02:57
apersonmoving it worked02:58
jmarsdenHmmm.  So it works fine as irpg-new ?02:58
apersonyes02:58
jmarsdenThen somewhere there must be something mentioning or configuring irpg by name...02:58
jmarsdenTo confirm that, mv somedir to irpg and test browsing to irpg/index.php02:59
jmarsdenand it should fail.02:59
apersonyeah03:00
jmarsdenOK.  So... who or what is configuring irpg "specially"?   Does grep -ri irpg /etc/apache2/    output anything?03:01
apersonnope03:02
jmarsdenThis is starting to feel rather odd... *something* is causing that index.php to not render correctly.  Can you pastebin the output of    ls -la /var/www/irpg/   for me, just in case that helps?03:04
apersonhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/312944/03:05
jmarsdenHmm, I was expecting a dir with just index.php in it... since at this point irpg/ should be the renamed somedir ... what happened?03:07
apersonoh, I'be been moving things back and forth03:07
apersonlet me move things again03:07
jmarsdenThat's ... not helpful :)03:07
jmarsdenalso, the index.php in there is big, way more than just <?php phpinfo(); ?>03:09
apersonhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/312946/03:09
jmarsdenThat index.php is way big, too...03:10
poningruaperson, quick question what does firefox say is the mime type of that file?03:10
apersonoh, gah03:10
apersonI moved the index.php from the irpg back into the irpg folder :/03:10
apersonI forgot which folder I had the test one in03:11
jmarsdenaperson: It is really hard to work with you if you keep doing silent changes to the test setup!03:11
apersonwell, sorry03:11
apersonI'm not doing anything major, just moving files around03:11
jmarsdenOK, let's retest with a /var/www/irpg that has just a one line index.php in it.03:11
apersondoesn't make a difference03:12
jmarsdenTry restarting apache and retesting, just in case somehow that got cached03:13
apersonnope03:13
jmarsdenOK, now  sudo mv /var/www/irpg/ /var/www/irpg2  and browse to that -- let's make sure that works fine.03:14
apersonhttp://imgur.com/8gA2x.png03:14
jmarsdenaperson: Is this some sort of weird FF issue?  CAn you browse using lynx or some other browser and see if it makes any difference?03:15
apersonI have on multiple computers and a couple of different browsers03:16
apersonchromium mostly03:16
apersonirpg2 works03:16
jmarsdenOK... so somewhere there seems to be something configuring Apache not to interpret index.php when it is in the irpg directory.  But any other directory name works fine.03:18
apersonI haven't edited any config files specifically for anything related to that03:19
apersonI can purge the server and re-install for sanity's sake03:19
jmarsdenOK... at this point I'm not sure what else to suggest :)03:20
apersonbut I *really don't recall* editing anything from the defaults03:20
jmarsdenFYI, someone else did complain about this kind of an issue here in #ubuntu-server last month, but then they said they'd research it some more.. and they didn't come back to say what they discovered...03:21
jmarsdenThis kind of issue as in FF saying it got a PHTML file... not necessarily that it only happens in the irpg directory!03:22
jmarsdenIt was tiger2wander on 2009-10-21, according to my logs.03:23
apersonpurged... now re-installing03:23
jmarsdenOK.03:24
apersonweird, I'm in /var/www03:24
apersonand sudo is telling me it can't get the working directory03:24
apersonnvm03:24
jmarsdencd /var/www   --- you are in an old deleted /var/www not the newly created on.03:24
apersonjust figured that :)  I shouldn't think out loud so much03:25
jmarsden:)03:25
apersonnope, doesn't work03:26
apersonlet me double check that03:26
jmarsdenTry testing without moving any of the old files, the real irpg/* files, back in.  Just create a one liner index.php and test with that.03:27
apersonok, so I looked inside the phtml file03:27
jmarsdenOK...03:27
apersonI deleted the entire /var/www/*03:27
apersonI used the test php for /var/www/irpg/index.php03:28
apersonand the file that got spit out was the irpg index.php03:28
apersonI tried that in two different browsers on two different computers03:28
apersonand it's always a .part file from firefox03:29
jmarsdenOK... but uninterpreted.  That's what I'd expect if Apache is (somehow/somewhere) being told not to interpret that file...  Not sure about the .part thing, that is probably just a Firefox-ism.03:29
apersonyeah03:29
apersonbut why would it be spitting out the file that isn't there?03:29
jmarsdenThe file isn't there??03:30
apersonI'm using the test php index.php03:30
apersonnot the irpg one03:30
apersonit's spitting out the irpg one03:30
jmarsdenOh, the big real one?03:30
apersonyeah03:30
fxhpI just followed this guide, but I'm unable to ping my vm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder03:30
jmarsdenaperson: OK, so something is either caching it, or you have some config file somewhere changing how Apache is behaving.  Where on your machine do you currently have copies of that larger index.php ?03:31
apersonon a flashdrive03:31
jmarsdenumount the flashdrive and retest03:32
apersonsame thing03:32
jmarsdenSo either there is another copy, or something is caching big time... are you running squid or anything similar on this machine??03:33
jmarsdenWorst case you could reboot the machine, but that will make finding the real culprit harder.03:35
apersonno squid03:36
apersonI can reboot it03:36
jmarsdenFirst try stopping apache2 and then starting it ?03:36
apersontoo late03:37
jmarsdenOk :)03:37
apersonsame thing03:39
apersonwhere would the cache be?03:39
jmarsdenIn some service that is doing caching... ?  Are you browsing to localhost or to a real IP address?  Does it make any difference?03:40
apersonno difference03:41
jmarsdenaperson: If you stop apache completely and then browse to it, what happens?03:41
jmarsdenMaybe this PHTML is not really coming from your apache server at all??03:41
apersonfailed to connect03:41
apersonit has to be coming from it03:41
apersonI've been testing it on multiple computers03:42
jmarsdenaperson: well, you could theoretically have had another service sending it to all of them... but if stopping apache prevents it, that's somewhat conclusive.03:43
apersonSUCCESS03:43
jmarsdenOK... what was it?03:43
apersonsudo service apache start-htcacheclean03:43
apersonthank you, tab-completion03:43
apersonwell, not out of the water yet03:44
apersonI still need to test the site03:44
apersonbut it's serving the test php from /var/www/irpg03:44
jmarsdenOk, well, at leats I was right about the caching :)  That's mod_cache ...03:44
jmarsdenDid you install that on purpose, or is it there by default?03:45
apersonall I did was tasksel and selected lamp03:45
apersonto install the server03:45
apersonsuccess!03:46
apersonjmarsden, your patience is amazing :)03:46
apersonand I think you much for stick with me through this03:46
apersons/stick/sticking03:46
jmarsdenCool.  No problem, I'm glad we got there in the end :)  Now I can go eat!03:46
apersonsame here!03:47
apersonI've been dying to eat03:47
apersonwait03:49
apersonwell, don't03:49
apersonGAAH03:50
apersonit won't serve it again03:51
apersonit's a problem with the config.php03:53
jmarsdenaperson: I'm back... what did you change in which config.php to fix it?04:12
apersonsetting: $BASEURL="/irpg/";04:16
apersoncauses the error04:16
jmarsdenAh, Ok, so there really was a config file with the string irpg in it... but that file was where exactly on the machine?04:17
aperson/var/www/irpg04:18
apersonif you're really interested, I can pastebin the offending files, but I have it fixed for the moment04:18
jmarsdenOK.  That explains why searching under /etc/apache2/ failed to see it :)  No, that's fine, makes sense now.  Thanks.04:18
apersonhuzzah!  fixed my other error I was getting :D04:19
jmarsden:)04:19
apersonhad to install php5-gd04:19
jmarsdenOK... looks like we're going out for coffee and dessert... glad it is all (finally!) working.04:20
apersonthanks much jmarsden04:21

kblinterinjokes: sorry, pinged out20:54
kblinterinjokes: the second entry looks better, but not quite right yet20:54
kblindo an iptables -t nat -F20:55
kblinthat will flush the old rules20:55
kblinoh, and please pastebin the output of "iptables -L"20:55
kblinthen do an iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE20:56
kblinthat together with the ip_forwarding setting should be sufficient to masquerade your clients out20:56
kblinunless your firewall is acting funny20:57

MenZaIs it possible to make update-motd update the motd on login?22:57
MenZaSpecifically, I have a perl script I want to have executed on login. Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way, so if there's a better option, please do point me towards it. :)23:00
MenZaIt seems to me that the contents of /etc/motd is just sent to the user, but not run if indicated as a script. Perhaps I need to include the script (perl /path/to/file > /etc/motd) on login?23:05
MenZaThen again, that seems like a fairly bad solution23:05
pmatulisMenZa: you should be working with your users' shell files, not motd23:10
MenZapmatulis: Why so?23:25
MenZapmatulis: I'm showing information about the system, including load, number of currently logged-in users, stuff like that23:25
MenZaMakes perfect sense to have that information viewable on login.23:26
