[06:16] Hi, i am trying to add schema in openldap and i got this error: ldap_add: Server is unwilling to perform (53) [06:16] additional info: no global superior knowledge [06:16] any idea? [06:18] Roxyhart0: check your syntax really carefully, both of the command and the schema data. I think that means you are trying to add stuff outside the chunk of LDAP space your sevrer is configured to use, and it does not know how to contact LDAP servers higher up the LDAP namespace hierarchy to add it there. [06:18] Most likely you just made a mistake in your command or your schema data file, but that's a guess. [06:19] my command is: ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,cn=config -W -f /tmp/ldif_output/cn\=config/cn\=schema/cn\=\{8\}misc.ldif [06:20] well i think i got the error...thanks a lot!

[08:16] hi, I'm a noob, Is it possible to run apache as instead of www? [08:17] stanley__: may I ask why you are trying to do that? what is it you are trying to acheive? [08:19] i wanna run a joomla! for testing and template modifications before i put it online and if all my files are owned by then there is a permissions issue when php/apache tries to access and modify files [08:20] i got around it for a while by using midnight commander as root and copying all my files to /var/www/ with mc [08:20] and then set everything to 777 [08:22] ? [08:50] If all apache needs is to read/display html, only read access is needed. [08:50] If apache needs to *write* files (modify) make sure the files have write access for the user apache runs as i.e. [08:50] Apaches runs as user/group www-data/www-data [08:51] So, to let apache read and write a file, make sure : [08:51] perms : 664 (say) i.e. rw-rw-r-- [08:52] ownership : .www-data (say, for whatever user) [08:53] Make sure you understand ramifications of file write access like this - check security docs.

Got the impression that heartbeat is better implemented in Ubuntu, but that it's "legacy"...? [10:37] <_ruben> heartbeat's still maintained, but it's no longer a complete stack, but only a messaging layer [10:37] <_ruben> legacy heartbeat is an all in one product for ha [10:43] ok, I see. Guess pacemaker/corosync would be the way to go. Corosync is the openais implementation that is used if I got it right. Quite a jigsaw puzzle this :) [10:49] <_ruben> i still need do the migration myself .. still using legacy heartbeat ;) [10:53] Me and my collegue is setting up a storage-ssytem at the school we're working at, and after some research DRBD seems the obvious choice, but there quite alot to read up on since this totally new to both of us. You think the usage of Ubuntu as the platform will be a wise choice? [10:55] <_ruben> i have experience with slackware/redhat/suse/ubuntu, of those ubuntu appeals to me the most [10:55] <_ruben> especially with the given choice of bleeding edge and lts [10:58] main volounteer? [10:58] that's what we concluded with too, but I've got the impression that drbd/high availabilty is quite new in Ubuntu?

[13:10] trying to avoid bridging [13:10] dunno c0dem4gnetic i differ from the ubuntu team because i prefer vmware [13:10] !vmware [13:10] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [13:11] vmware used to be available in the repositories. Ah, memories. :) [13:11] tried vmware but needs some hackish patching for 9.10 [13:12] naw [13:12] and i couldnt get host-only networking running :) [13:12] but [13:12] !virtualization [13:12] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu.

[13:42] why not? [13:42] * stickystyle shrug [13:43] not sure. searched around to see if that was a valid thing to do but didn't find anything [13:43] i do see what could be an issue, but don't know exactly if that's not allowed [13:43] just never done it before [13:45] stickystyle, you should try it to see. usually though, it's just hostmaster.domain.com or something similar, which is handled as an alias for another account at the mail server level [13:48] i'd expect it works though, and just considers domain.com as the domain, since it's already defined as the zone is loaded... keeping it an alias has an advantage though: it's easier to change what it points to than to change the email in the zone SOA record if somebody else should receive that mail [13:50] Hum, passes with named-checkconf. Just wanted to see if anyone else had done this as it's a production server, let's see what happens.... [13:53] stickystyle, maybe run a dns check on it... say http://www.checkdns.net/quickcheckdomainf.aspx [13:55] And....no named errors, server still returns queries for that zone (private zone so no web based checking tools). I guess that's a little bit named trivia that everyone gained today :) [13:56] stickystyle, indeed. right now, I certainly can't think of an use for this field anyway... except maybe for the registrar? [13:57] yeah, not really sure why it would be used registrar wouldn't even come into play as it's not public. but if I get a ticket to change it, then I do. [14:01] <_ruben> the contact email field in soa records are pretty bogus [14:03] Offtopic. Any one with weblogic experience? [14:10] I would like to setup an IM server for our office.

All you have to do is add it and it works? [14:14] Yep. [14:14] Damn, I wish everything was that simple [14:15] Do you know if there is a way to password protect it? [14:15] Not that I know of, it runs on Avahi. [14:17] Is there a windows client? [14:17] also note that bonjour based IM will only work within the subnet all the clients are in. [14:18] It runs as a plugin in Pidgin. [14:18] pidgin has a windows client [14:18] Ok cool. Thanks everyone. I will check it out. I just don't want anyone pickup the conversations.

[16:27] hmmm, any idea for fill up my drive ?!? [16:30] resno: the correct answer should be all of them, but that's very fun with a lot of servers. Install logcheck and have it monitor your logs for any anomalies. [16:30] *but that's NOT very fun [16:31] stickystyle: ive never done any log monitoring, which is why i am interested [16:31] ive been very security lax up till now [16:32] auth.log and syslog are a good place to start [16:33] is logcheck better then munit and moncheck, i think its called [16:33] but do look into logcheck as it will help filter out things that are not really important [16:33] not familiar with either of those. [16:33] oh ok [16:38] fills up or overwrites dd ? [16:39] stickystyle: does logcheck require email to be setup? [16:42] yes it does send the results via email. however that doesn't mean it requires a full blown MTA like on the box, you can get away with (as i do) something like nullmailer on the server which then sends via another mail server. [16:45] <_ruben> Temptest: why would you want to fill up your hdd anyways? either way, dd can do both (overwriting and filling up) [16:46] because i have offline uncorrectable failures [16:46] raid rebuild stops always @_ruben [16:46] so i did this how to's > http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html [16:47] but the bad sector is empty so i have to fill up the disk, that all sectors become relocated [16:47] point : Unassigned sectors on the page link gave some lines ago [16:49] <_ruben> Temptest: so you want to rebuild your raid, but the "good" (source) disk is also bad ?

If you want, you can set ServerName to something in one of your config files to make it go away. [19:22] Pici, well i actually plain to use a domain with this marticular box, so what is the proper way of configuring it [19:23] shouldn't the hostname say www.domain.com ? [19:24] _{generally I add the server's hostname to /etc/hosts with it's forward-facing IP
[19:24] _{whether you want it to be www.domain.com or just domain.com is up to you (or both)
[19:25] You should be able to add ServerName yoursite.com to your site's config file.
[19:27] orudie, servername should be (literally) the server's name
[19:27] so if your hostname is server, and you're in domain.com, servername should be server.domain.com
[19:27] it has nothing to do with the names of the sites you're hosting
[19:30] for example, my internal name is home.local, and a server running apache is called tank. That server's name is tank.home.local, and that's what goes in ServerName, even though the website it's hosting is using qman.strangled.net
