Doonzhey guys. Im trying to get apache2 to listen on a different port. But it will not work other than on port 80. no firewalls or anything blocking me00:33

qman__Doonz, two things must be changed02:11
qman__Add your port to /etc/apache2/ports.conf02:12

paul_whippnewbie question: I've set up and run EC2 instances on us-east-1 with ec2-run-instances command but when I try to start a ap-southeast-1 ami I get "Client.InvalidAMIID.NotFound: The AMI ID 'ami-ea1e60b8' does not exist". How do I switch zones so I can run this instance there?02:42

xperiahello to all. i am having big problems with installing/removing the package "proftpd". as first i cant remove it after the install as it breaks everytime with the error message "debconf: DbDriver "config": could not open /var/cache/debconf/config.dat". Reinstalling dont want to work too. can anybody help me with this problem ?17:05
xperiai have installed it first that way "sudo apt-get install proftpd" but after some seconds it stopped with installing the packages and outputed some error messages. it looks like i needed to install "proftpd-basic"17:08
=== zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy
qman__xperia, your problem is not directly the proftpd package, but rather your debconf system17:40
qman__something is wrong with the package manager17:40
qman__I don't know exactly how to fix it, but that file is a part of the package manager, and until that problem is resolved, you will not be able to install, remove, upgrade, or otherwise change packages17:41
xperiahmmm but before i installed proftpd everything worked. i checked now the directory "/var/cache" with ls -la and i dont have any debconf/config.dat dir and files there17:42
qman__try this17:43
qman__sudo mkdir /var/cache/debconf; sudo touch /var/cache/debconf/config.dat17:43
qman__what most likely happened is that something broke prior to or during the install of proftpd17:44
qman__not as a direct result of the proftpd package17:44
qman__but some other issue17:44
xperiaqman__; thanks a lot. will try it out. think i removed it manually this dir and file some days agao17:45

ruben23hi guys i tried to used modprobe on my ubuntu-server but  i get this error------------> http://pastebin.com/yWjsdsb818:19
qman__those are only warnings, not errors18:20
qman__they do not prevent your command from running, they are simply informing you of incorrect settings18:20
ruben23 qman__:  what should be the right way..?18:22
qman__as the warnings say, alsa-base does not follow the new convention of naming all config files .conf, and /etc/modprobe.conf is also a deprecated way of setting things18:23
qman__it's not important in the current release, but doing things that way in future releases may not work18:23
ruben23hi guys how about this are there any serious issue with this..?---->http://pastebin.com/1SR57gZc18:38
qman__no, just a runlevel inconsistency18:40

BilgeI'm still running 8.04 LTS19:15
BilgeHow safe/easy is it to migrate to the next LTS?19:15
BilgeI'm kinda interested in moving on to PHP 5.3 and I imagine that first upgrading my distro is the best way to achieve that19:16
qman__make sure you have a good backup19:16
`jpgHeya.19:16
qman__I've upgraded two servers, both with problems19:16
qman__not unsolvable, but be prepared to work on them19:16
`jpgDoes maverick include a xen dom0 kernel?19:17
BilgeWhat kind of problems did you have?19:17
qman__one of them, the graphics completely broke19:17
qman__took me a while to get a picture back19:17
qman__my torrentflux install also completely broke19:17
BilgeWait what19:18
BilgeThis is a server distribution19:18
qman__yes19:18
qman__I had no video output19:18
BilgeThe graphics? :)19:18
qman__out of range19:18
qman__it took me a while and lots of searching to fix it19:19
qman__a combination of KMS, grub2, and plymouth19:19
qman__just be prepared in case something goes wrong, that's all I'm saying19:20
qman__set aside plenty of time to work on it19:20
BilgeI think that's the key thing19:20
qman__and have good backups19:20
BilgeI do have backups but that won't help if I need to reinstall the entire system19:20
BilgeAnd it will be a huge pain in the ass to do that since it's all encrypted and stuff19:20
BilgeSpeaking of which I don't even know if I remember the encryption keys ;p19:21

detrixI just installed server edition on my desktop.  I need some guidance with setting up the interface with eth019:39
qman__detrix, see `man interfaces` and the networking section in the server guide19:40
detrixI have the general idea of how to do it, but its not working19:41
qman__in that case, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file, and explain what isn't working19:42

xperiahello to all. i am trying to get phpbb3 on my ubuntu server to work but for some reason i just get a empty site with no content. the apache/php server just call the one site index.php and nothing else.19:45
xperiai have installed phpbb3 as follow: "sudo apt-get install phpbb3" "sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpbb3/www /var/www/phpbb" "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" "http://localhost/phpbb"19:45
xperiawhat could be the problem that phpbb3 is not working like it should. looks like a apache config problem!19:45
qman__also, a little information about your network will be helpful, how you get to the internet, your routing/DHCP situation, etc19:45
qman__xperia, apache is probably configured to ignore symlinks, and that's a bad idea even if it isn't19:46
qman__the package should have installed another site configuration file19:46
qman__or, if not, you should install one19:46
qman__ls /etc/apache2/sites-available/19:47
xperiaqman__: okay thinked also that way. have only this files here "default" and "default-ssl"19:48
xperiawill check the vhost files then in default19:48
qman__if it didn't create a site for you, create one yourself, using the directory /usr/share/phpbb3/www19:48
qman__and a site alias, as demonstrated in the default site with the /doc19:49
qman__allowing symlinks like that is a considerable security risk, as you might imagine19:49
qman__you need a <Directory /blah> block for apache to render the files19:50
xperiaqman__: one thing that i just dont understand if symlinks are ignored why i am able then to call the index.php file still19:50
qman__they might not be ignored19:51
qman__depending on the options set19:51
qman__what might be happening, is that apache can see all the files but PHP is being prevented from interacting with them19:53
qman__in any case, it's good policy to do it the way I explained, and it will probably solve the problem19:54
detrixOk, here is the pastbin:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/510296/    I have a linksys router.  I have assigned an IP to each compute in my local net.19:54
qman__detrix, ok, what is the DHCP lease range set on your router?19:54
xperiaqman__: yeah i guess also that something with php is probably the problem. this are btw the vhost lines http://paste-bin.com/view/8962ebcf19:55
detrixAll the router shows is address starting at:  192.168.1.100.  My desktop though has been assigned staticly though at 192.168.1.1019:56
qman__detrix, ok, what I was getting at is that you don't want to statically assign addresses within the range, so you're ok there, and that one reason it may be failing is if that address is in use19:57
qman__detrix, what command did you use to restart networking?19:58
detrixnope. I have used this address for many years with this router.     sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart19:58
qman__detrix, that makes it a big more puzzling then20:01
qman__also, for future reference, as sysv scripts are being replaced by upstart scripts, that method won't work in the future, use 'sudo service networking restart' (and similar)20:02
detrixqman__, so the interfaces file is fine?20:02
qman__yes, the configuration you showed is fine20:02
qman__might be something up with the dhclient, not sure exactly20:02
qman__I'm assuming you installed with dynamic and then changed to static20:03
detrixthis is my first time playing with this.  how do I check the dns server. on the computer?20:03
qman__DNS wouldn't have any effect on this, it depends on this working first20:03
detrixI did not see the option to do the static. maybe I will try to re-install.20:04
qman__I'd try rebooting first20:04
qman__sometimes, it's the magic fix20:04
detrix;)20:04
detrixbut I have. for a moment I thought it did fix it.  but nope20:05
qman__what's the output of `ifconfig -a` look like?20:05
qman__don't have to copy it verbatim, just note which interfaces exist and what addresses they have, if any20:05
detrixyou want this is pastebin as well20:06
qman__just telling me is fine20:06
detrixit shows eth0: with the right address of 192.168.1.10.  it also show:  eth1_rename LInk  and lo:20:08
qman__do you have two cards installed?20:09
detrixyes.20:09
detrixones on the motherboard, the other is a pci card20:09
qman__ok20:10
qman__what bothers me about that is eth1_rename20:10
qman__it should just be eth120:10
qman__look at their MAC addresses20:11
qman__make sure they're not all 0s, and that they're not identical20:11
detrixI am also seeing something fishy.  of eth0: it shows for H20:11
detrixfor HWaddr I get  ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff20:11
qman__for both?20:11
detrixno20:11
qman__which interface?20:12
detrixfor eth1: I get a 6c:f0:49:72:e9:c920:12
qman__I have a feeling that eth0 either has the wrong driver, or has failed20:13
detrixI am going to try to reboot one more time20:13
detrixI will also pull out eth120:13
qman__before you do20:13
qman__remove the file20:13
qman__ /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules20:14
qman__then shut down, remove your extra NIC, and start back up to see what you hav20:14
qman__e20:14
detrixwhen I did shutdown -t 0 now:  a recovery menu came up....why???20:16
qman__you didn't specify what to do20:17
qman__I suggest using `sudo poweroff`20:17
qman__but you'd have to specify -h for halt, -r for reboot, etc20:18
detrixok. I like poweroff better20:19
detrixpulling eth120:19
detrixpowering back up20:20
SaberUKhttp://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/techspecs/whatsnew # eta on this being updated for 10.10?20:21
