ptingis there a commandline fastcgi client app? I want something similar to wget but for fastcgi01:24

Monotokohow many servers do I need to set up something that will resolve domains to my dedicated server???01:51
MonotokoI just want one server...why do I need so many?01:51
patdk-lapMonotoko, you only need one, you should have two, and really you should have 3-4 in different locations02:10
Monotokopatdk-lap, I see....is it possible to have the server I am hosting on act as a nameserver as well? Then I could have two02:12

Monotokopatdk-lap, are you still here?02:56
Monotokoseem to have got myself into a hole ><02:57
twbMonotoko: is there something we can help with?02:57
Monotokonameservers....I have tried to set up bind9 according to the Ubuntu Server Guide. However:02:58
MonotokoPING hostinghaven.co.uk (82.165.148.96) 56(84) bytes of data.02:58
Monotoko64 bytes from www.domainname.com (82.165.148.96): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.018 ms02:58
Monotokowhy is it replying from domainname.com?02:58
twbI guess because that's the canonical name02:58
Monotokoalso, I have a domain pointing at the nameservers I just set up and it isn't working02:59
twbTest each component in isolation first.03:00
twbFor example, is the host responding to port 80?  If so, can you manually issue a GET with a Host: foo header?03:01
Monotokono response on port 80 using the new domain03:01
twbDon't forget that DNS updates take time to propagate through caches.03:01
EvilPhoenixindeed03:01
twbMonotoko: test it with IP first, so that you aren't relying on name resolution for that test03:02
twbprintf 'GET / HTTP/0.9\rHost: example.net\r\r' | nc 1.2.3.4 8003:02
EvilPhoenixi'm getting 404 errors for your domain, Monotoko03:03
MonotokoEvilPhoenix, hostinghaven.co.uk?03:03
EvilPhoenixwell i was getting 404s.  Then it shows up some default page03:03
EvilPhoenixi'm reading the packets03:03
twbEvilPhoenix: he probably censored his real domain with "www.domainname.com" to annoy us and make us less likely to help03:04
EvilPhoenixi got this twice: Message: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n03:04
Monotokotwb, nope03:04
EvilPhoenixTHEN i got to some landing page03:04
Monotokoits actually coming up like that03:04
EvilPhoenixtitled "Default Web Site Page"03:04
Monotokothe landing page is what you should03:04
Monotokoget#03:04
Monotokoand what I am trying to get using: bestislandmusic.com03:04
EvilPhoenixwell i use level3's DNS servers, and google's DNS servers (4.2.2.4, and 8.8.8.8 respectively)03:04
EvilPhoenixthey spit me out on that landing page03:04
EvilPhoenixnow THAT 404's03:05
EvilPhoenixprobly because the data hasn't been propagated yet03:05
twbhttp://paste.debian.net/103251/ is what I get for DNS03:05
Monotokohmmm, I'm not sure if I set up bind9 wrongly03:05
chrislabeardwhat do I need to set up on my server so that drupal can send mail and or wordpress?03:05
chrislabeardwould that be a relay or a gateway03:06
EvilPhoenixMonotoko, i'll do a dnsget03:06
EvilPhoenixhere's the pastebin i'm getting from dnsget using any dnsservers that I use: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/W66j6cfR03:07
twbMonotoko: personally I wouldn't bother hosting your own DNS records; someone like zonedit will do a better job03:07
M4rotkuhey guys.  i have a really easy question.  I'm installing ubuntu server and i'm at the point at which i set up the partitions, and i feel like an idiot, but i can't for the life of me figure out how to set the boot flag for the partition.  I can see whether I should set the flag, but I can't get it to toggle.03:07
EvilPhoenixyeah ZoneEdit is good, and pretty free03:07
Monotokotwb, I'm trying to set up a host so it isn't an option03:07
MonotokoI have everything apart from DNS nailed03:08
twbMonotoko: that doesn't make any sense03:08
EvilPhoenixMonotoko:  you can EASILY use ZoneEdit for DNS03:08
EvilPhoenixits crazy easy03:09
twbM4rotku: the "boot flag" is not used by Ubuntu03:09
Monotokohmmmm03:09
M4rotkutwb, then why does it give me the option to set it within the install process?03:09
twbM4rotku: you can turn it on post-install by running "parted /dev/sda set boot 0 on" or so03:09
twbM4rotku: AFAIK it doesn't.03:10
twbM4rotku: are you using the ubuntu SERVER install media?03:10
M4rotkutwb, ok, that makes sense.  i'm using the normal install cd for the 32-bit server edition 10.1003:10
twbI cannot comment on ubiquity (desktop CD) installs03:11
twbM4rotku: verbatim, what is the text you see concerning the boot flag?03:11
twbchrislabeard: any MTA will do, but postfix is probably a good choice03:12
chrislabeardtwb: it seems like php out of the box can send mail from drupal using php sendmail()03:13
chrislabeardtwb: but my server isn't sending anything out03:13
twbYou probably have an MTA installed but not configured03:13
twbchrislabeard: aptitude search '?installed ?provides(mail-transport-agent)'03:13
M4rotkutwb, don't worry about it, i think i figured it out.  thanks for your help03:14
chrislabeardtwb: i   postfix                         - High-performance mail transport agent03:14
twbchrislabeard: dpkg-reconfigure -plow postfix03:14
twbchrislabeard: if you have a smarthost/gateway MTA on another host, you should pick "satellite"; otherwise you will need to set it up as a proper mailserver03:14
chrislabeardtwb: oh okay so i need another mail server in conjunction with postfix?03:15
chrislabeardtwb: I want to be able to get e-mail locally and remotely to other users of my sites03:15
twbchrislabeard: only if you run a whole network03:15
twbchrislabeard: if your "network" is one box, you just need to set up postfix03:16
chrislabeardtwb: yeah its just one server, so what config would i pick for my situation.03:16
twbchrislabeard: "host on internet" or something?  I forget.03:16
chrislabeardinternet site/03:16
chrislabeard?03:16
twbchrislabeard: go read the ubuntu server guide, it has information about this03:17
chrislabeardtwb: k03:17
twbI wish people wouldn't try to get clever in init.d scripts...03:18
* twb glares at openvasd03:18
MonotokoEvilPhoenix, can I only have one domain in zoneedit before I am charged?03:21
twbMonotoko: I think it was about five03:22
Monotokotwb, this is no good...I am trying to set up a resellers hosting service for businesses03:23
Monotokothey need domains...and lots of them03:24
Monotokowhich is why I was trying to set up DNS03:24
twbSo factor that into your prices03:24
EvilPhoenixtwb they changed it03:25
EvilPhoenixMonotoko:  you can have 3 free domains03:25
EvilPhoenixMonotoko:  before you need to pay for a plan03:25
EvilPhoenixMonotoko:  but i got in when it was 5 free domains so I have 5 :P03:25
twbGrr, I can't script openvas-adduser becaus the flipping thing uses stty03:26
Error404NotFoundI copied mysql data dir from another server running gentoo, now everything is working fine except that when i start mysql i get "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"05:44
Error404NotFoundwhich is ofcourse true because no such user will exist for a mysql database on a gentoo, how do i fix it?05:44
gobbewell you create a new user there07:09
Error404NotFoundhow do i create the debian-system-maint user back in mysql?09:39
sander^workHow is  it possible to have a  keyboard layout for one user other than the global one?10:10

joschiError404NotFound: like any other user. but since you have some problems with starting your mysqld you should first try http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/resetting-permissions.html10:58
Error404NotFoundjoschi, got that figured out, now stuck with: http://pastebin.com/gqmiqPvM10:59
Error404NotFoundeven though mysql.proc is there, its complaining...10:59
Error404NotFoundalso tried mysql_upgrade10:59
Error404NotFoundjoschi, actually this: http://pastebin.com/NbbYba8s is better, sorted, and compressed, deleted irrelevant bits11:01
joschiError404NotFound: does the stored procedure exist?11:02
Error404NotFoundjoschi, it should but lemme reconfirm. I am confident because this a datadir clone of where the stored procedure exists and runs fine.11:03
Error404NotFoundjoschi, yup, it does.11:09
joschiError404NotFound: you could try dumping your databases (e. g. with `mysqldump`, don't copy the datadir), run mysql_secure_install (or `dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server`) and reimport your dump11:12
joschiError404NotFound: otherwise you might have more luck in #mysql11:12
Error404NotFoundjoschi, haven't had any luck there.11:13
Error404NotFoundalso its 30G db, so mysql times out when i try to take a dump after 6G11:13
joschiError404NotFound: raise the timeouts11:14

the_eye_any help ?11:17
twbthe_eye_: that's not a server question11:22
the_eye_well its about samba server11:30
RoyKthe_eye_: not really11:31
the_eye_ok 2 question, I add a share in smb.conf but I cant access it. The other shares works fine11:32
the_eye_any tip here ?11:32
twbthe_eye_: did you restart or reload samba after editing smb.conf?11:34
twbIf you can demonstrate the mounting issue using smbclient and/or mount.cifs directly, THEN it might be a server issue.  From the description, it sounds more likely to be client-side, i.e. not-our-problem.11:35
the_eye_I restart the service, I can view the share but I cant access it11:35
twbthe_eye_: perhaps you got the access rules in smb.conf incorrect, then?  Pastebin the entire smb.conf file.11:35
the_eye_Its the same configuration, you can see it at the end of file11:39

SkaagI have installed mysql from binaries, but there seems to be remnants of mysql-server-5.0 which fail to remove with apt-get remove, how do I force remove it?12:57
woutervddnskaag, you are root?12:57
Skaagyes12:57
woutervddnhmm.. maybe force it to quit first..12:58
SkaagI think this worked: dpkg -r --force-all mysql-server-5.012:59
Skaagchecking..12:59
Skaagyes!12:59
Skaagexcellent :)12:59
twbSkaag: remove ≠ purge13:01
Skaaglenny/sid = intrepid ibex?13:01
twbSkaag: no.13:01
twb"lenny/sid" is where Ubuntu steals most of its code from13:01
twbTry "lsb_release -a" to find out what release you're running.13:02
Skaagit says intrepid13:02
Skaagbut my sources.list is all boinxed13:02
twbFix it, then.13:02
_ruben!intrepid13:02
ubottuUbuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details.13:02
_rubentime to upgrade ;)13:02
SkaagI need to restore it to a sane version of the file so I can do an upgrade13:02
_rubenah13:03
Skaagthis is an old system of a friend who asked me to help him upgrade13:03
Skaagbut it looks like apt-get update returns a bunch of 404's13:03
=== jml` is now known as jml
_rubenbecause its eol13:03
twbUgh, openvas-nvt-sync exits with a nonzero status *when it succeeds*?!13:03
Skaagpossibly because the eol13:03
Skaagyah13:03
Skaagwhat do I do then? :)13:04
twb_ruben: it's old-releases.u.c, right?13:04
SkaagI'll try to do-release-upgrade anyway13:04
Skaagsee where that leads me13:04
_rubentwb: correct13:04
twb_ruben: hmm, does the apt mirror method know that?13:04
_rubenSkaag: replace whatever.archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com13:05
_rubentwb: i use debmirror myself, so dunnno13:05
_rubenbeen meaning to switch to plain rsync though13:05
twb_ruben: I use both in case the debmirror cron job breaks ;-)13:05
_rubencan't rsync old-releases.u.c though (i think)13:05
_rubenah13:05
twbI'm talking about /var/lib/apt/methods/mirror, not the apt-mirror package13:06
Skaag_ruben: ah, thanks!13:06
twbi.e. HTTP with a a geoip dispatch provided by the canonical server13:06
Skaag_ruben: does something similar exist for the security updates?13:07
_rubennever looked at that13:07
SkaagI have this unresolved: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main restricted13:07
_rubenSkaag: i highly doubt it, it being eol and all ;)13:07
SkaagI will try to also substitute with old-releases13:07
Skaagtrue13:07
twbSkaag: -hardened would know13:07
_rubenjust try it or just disable it13:07
twb_ruben: but he ouhght to be able to get the already-issued patches13:07
SkaagI think it worked..!!13:08
Skaagyah13:08
_rubenwouldnt suprise me if they got "merged" into old-rel13:08
Skaagexcellent :)13:08
Skaagyes apparently they merged them.13:08
twbGumph13:08
twbUnless by "merged" you mean just the pool and not the Packages13:08
* _ruben doesn't care either way13:09
_rubenone shouldn't have a need for old-releases anyway ;)13:09
* _ruben makes a note to check for any servers on his network with eol'ed versions13:09
twbGranted, though *I* do use snapshots.debian.org for retrospective purposes13:10
Skaag_ruben: my own machines are always up to date... but you see, it's possible that some old buddy shows up and says "dude, help!!"13:10
_rubeni know of atleast one 7.10 server mucking around ;)13:10
Skaagand I gotta help, being a buddy and all ;-)13:10
twbe.g. when VCSizing a package, I'll import the old releases' history13:10
Skaagso this is very useful for me13:10

woutervddnI'm testing 12 of them atm and they are all hell in their own way :p13:18
woutervddnofbiz isn't one of those 12 so I'll give that a try also.. :)13:18
