[01:24] is there a commandline fastcgi client app? I want something similar to wget but for fastcgi === Velmont_ is now known as Velmont [01:51] how many servers do I need to set up something that will resolve domains to my dedicated server??? [01:51] I just want one server...why do I need so many? [02:10] Monotoko, you only need one, you should have two, and really you should have 3-4 in different locations [02:12] patdk-lap, I see....is it possible to have the server I am hosting on act as a nameserver as well? Then I could have two [02:13] yep === hylinux is now known as hylinux_afk [02:56] patdk-lap, are you still here? [02:57] seem to have got myself into a hole >< [02:57] Monotoko: is there something we can help with? [02:58] nameservers....I have tried to set up bind9 according to the Ubuntu Server Guide. However: [02:58] PING hostinghaven.co.uk (82.165.148.96) 56(84) bytes of data. [02:58] 64 bytes from www.domainname.com (82.165.148.96): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.018 ms [02:58] why is it replying from domainname.com? [02:58] I guess because that's the canonical name [02:59] also, I have a domain pointing at the nameservers I just set up and it isn't working [03:00] Test each component in isolation first. [03:01] For example, is the host responding to port 80? If so, can you manually issue a GET with a Host: foo header? [03:01] no response on port 80 using the new domain [03:01] Don't forget that DNS updates take time to propagate through caches. [03:01] indeed [03:02] Monotoko: test it with IP first, so that you aren't relying on name resolution for that test [03:02] printf 'GET / HTTP/0.9\rHost: example.net\r\r' | nc 1.2.3.4 80 [03:03] i'm getting 404 errors for your domain, Monotoko [03:03] EvilPhoenix, hostinghaven.co.uk? [03:03] well i was getting 404s. Then it shows up some default page [03:03] i'm reading the packets [03:04] EvilPhoenix: he probably censored his real domain with "www.domainname.com" to annoy us and make us less likely to help [03:04] i got this twice: Message: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n [03:04] twb, nope [03:04] THEN i got to some landing page [03:04] its actually coming up like that [03:04] titled "Default Web Site Page" [03:04] the landing page is what you should [03:04] get# [03:04] and what I am trying to get using: bestislandmusic.com [03:04] well i use level3's DNS servers, and google's DNS servers (4.2.2.4, and 8.8.8.8 respectively) [03:04] they spit me out on that landing page [03:05] now THAT 404's [03:05] probly because the data hasn't been propagated yet [03:05] http://paste.debian.net/103251/ is what I get for DNS [03:05] hmmm, I'm not sure if I set up bind9 wrongly [03:05] what do I need to set up on my server so that drupal can send mail and or wordpress? [03:06] would that be a relay or a gateway [03:06] Monotoko, i'll do a dnsget [03:07] here's the pastebin i'm getting from dnsget using any dnsservers that I use: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/W66j6cfR [03:07] Monotoko: personally I wouldn't bother hosting your own DNS records; someone like zonedit will do a better job [03:07] hey 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] yeah ZoneEdit is good, and pretty free [03:07] twb, I'm trying to set up a host so it isn't an option [03:08] I have everything apart from DNS nailed [03:08] Monotoko: that doesn't make any sense [03:08] Monotoko: you can EASILY use ZoneEdit for DNS [03:09] its crazy easy [03:09] M4rotku: the "boot flag" is not used by Ubuntu [03:09] hmmmm [03:09] twb, then why does it give me the option to set it within the install process? [03:09] M4rotku: you can turn it on post-install by running "parted /dev/sda set boot 0 on" or so [03:10] M4rotku: AFAIK it doesn't. [03:10] M4rotku: are you using the ubuntu SERVER install media? [03:10] twb, ok, that makes sense. i'm using the normal install cd for the 32-bit server edition 10.10 [03:11] I cannot comment on ubiquity (desktop CD) installs [03:11] M4rotku: verbatim, what is the text you see concerning the boot flag? [03:12] chrislabeard: any MTA will do, but postfix is probably a good choice [03:13] twb: it seems like php out of the box can send mail from drupal using php sendmail() [03:13] twb: but my server isn't sending anything out [03:13] You probably have an MTA installed but not configured [03:13] chrislabeard: aptitude search '?installed ?provides(mail-transport-agent)' [03:14] twb, don't worry about it, i think i figured it out. thanks for your help [03:14] twb: i postfix - High-performance mail transport agent [03:14] chrislabeard: dpkg-reconfigure -plow postfix [03:14] chrislabeard: 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 mailserver [03:15] twb: oh okay so i need another mail server in conjunction with postfix? [03:15] twb: I want to be able to get e-mail locally and remotely to other users of my sites [03:15] chrislabeard: only if you run a whole network [03:16] chrislabeard: if your "network" is one box, you just need to set up postfix [03:16] twb: yeah its just one server, so what config would i pick for my situation. [03:16] chrislabeard: "host on internet" or something? I forget. [03:16] internet site/ [03:16] ? [03:17] chrislabeard: go read the ubuntu server guide, it has information about this [03:17] twb: k [03:18] I wish people wouldn't try to get clever in init.d scripts... [03:18] * twb glares at openvasd [03:21] EvilPhoenix, can I only have one domain in zoneedit before I am charged? [03:22] Monotoko: I think it was about five [03:23] twb, this is no good...I am trying to set up a resellers hosting service for businesses [03:24] they need domains...and lots of them [03:24] which is why I was trying to set up DNS [03:24] So factor that into your prices [03:25] twb they changed it [03:25] Monotoko: you can have 3 free domains [03:25] Monotoko: before you need to pay for a plan [03:25] Monotoko: but i got in when it was 5 free domains so I have 5 :P [03:26] Grr, I can't script openvas-adduser becaus the flipping thing uses stty [05:44] I 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] which is ofcourse true because no such user will exist for a mysql database on a gentoo, how do i fix it? [07:09] well you create a new user there [09:39] how do i create the debian-system-maint user back in mysql? [10:10] How is it possible to have a keyboard layout for one user other than the global one? [10:51] New bug: #694707 in openldap (main) "database doesn't get purged during purge" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/694707 [10:58] Error404NotFound: 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.html [10:59] joschi, got that figured out, now stuck with: http://pastebin.com/gqmiqPvM [10:59] even though mysql.proc is there, its complaining... [10:59] also tried mysql_upgrade [11:01] joschi, actually this: http://pastebin.com/NbbYba8s is better, sorted, and compressed, deleted irrelevant bits [11:02] Error404NotFound: does the stored procedure exist? [11:03] joschi, it should but lemme reconfirm. I am confident because this a datadir clone of where the stored procedure exists and runs fine. [11:09] joschi, yup, it does. [11:12] Error404NotFound: 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 dump [11:12] Error404NotFound: otherwise you might have more luck in #mysql [11:13] joschi, haven't had any luck there. [11:13] also its 30G db, so mysql times out when i try to take a dump after 6G [11:14] Error404NotFound: raise the timeouts [11:16] I cant mount samba shares from nautilus [11:17] using smb://ip mounts ok [11:17] any help ? [11:22] the_eye_: that's not a server question [11:30] well its about samba server [11:31] the_eye_: not really [11:32] ok 2 question, I add a share in smb.conf but I cant access it. The other shares works fine [11:32] any tip here ? [11:34] the_eye_: did you restart or reload samba after editing smb.conf? [11:35] If 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] I restart the service, I can view the share but I cant access it [11:35] the_eye_: perhaps you got the access rules in smb.conf incorrect, then? Pastebin the entire smb.conf file. [11:39] Its the same configuration, you can see it at the end of file [11:39] http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/m28896ea5 [11:39] a,b works. I cant access c [11:41] the_eye_: what are the permissions on each of those dirs? [11:45] al, drwxr-xr-x b,drwxrwxrwx c, drwxr-xr-x [11:45] edit a, drwxr-xr- [11:45] the_eye_: and owner/group? [11:46] all same user ownership/group [12:57] I 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] skaag, you are root? [12:57] yes [12:58] hmm.. maybe force it to quit first.. [12:59] I think this worked: dpkg -r --force-all mysql-server-5.0 [12:59] checking.. [12:59] yes! [12:59] excellent :) [13:01] Skaag: remove ≠ purge [13:01] lenny/sid = intrepid ibex? [13:01] Skaag: no. [13:01] "lenny/sid" is where Ubuntu steals most of its code from [13:02] Try "lsb_release -a" to find out what release you're running. [13:02] it says intrepid [13:02] but my sources.list is all boinxed [13:02] Fix it, then. [13:02] <_ruben> !intrepid [13:02] Ubuntu 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] <_ruben> time to upgrade ;) [13:02] I need to restore it to a sane version of the file so I can do an upgrade [13:03] <_ruben> ah [13:03] this is an old system of a friend who asked me to help him upgrade [13:03] but it looks like apt-get update returns a bunch of 404's === jml` is now known as jml [13:03] <_ruben> because its eol [13:03] Ugh, openvas-nvt-sync exits with a nonzero status *when it succeeds*?! [13:03] possibly because the eol [13:03] yah [13:04] what do I do then? :) [13:04] _ruben: it's old-releases.u.c, right? [13:04] I'll try to do-release-upgrade anyway [13:04] see where that leads me [13:04] <_ruben> twb: correct [13:04] _ruben: hmm, does the apt mirror method know that? [13:05] <_ruben> Skaag: replace whatever.archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com [13:05] <_ruben> twb: i use debmirror myself, so dunnno [13:05] <_ruben> been meaning to switch to plain rsync though [13:05] _ruben: I use both in case the debmirror cron job breaks ;-) [13:05] <_ruben> can't rsync old-releases.u.c though (i think) [13:05] <_ruben> ah [13:06] I'm talking about /var/lib/apt/methods/mirror, not the apt-mirror package [13:06] _ruben: ah, thanks! [13:06] i.e. HTTP with a a geoip dispatch provided by the canonical server [13:07] _ruben: does something similar exist for the security updates? [13:07] <_ruben> never looked at that [13:07] I have this unresolved: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main restricted [13:07] <_ruben> Skaag: i highly doubt it, it being eol and all ;) [13:07] I will try to also substitute with old-releases [13:07] true [13:07] Skaag: -hardened would know [13:07] <_ruben> just try it or just disable it [13:07] _ruben: but he ouhght to be able to get the already-issued patches [13:08] I think it worked..!! [13:08] yah [13:08] <_ruben> wouldnt suprise me if they got "merged" into old-rel [13:08] excellent :) [13:08] yes apparently they merged them. [13:08] Gumph [13:08] Unless by "merged" you mean just the pool and not the Packages [13:09] * _ruben doesn't care either way [13:09] <_ruben> one 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 versions [13:10] Granted, though *I* do use snapshots.debian.org for retrospective purposes [13:10] _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] <_ruben> i know of atleast one 7.10 server mucking around ;) [13:10] and I gotta help, being a buddy and all ;-) [13:10] e.g. when VCSizing a package, I'll import the old releases' history [13:10] so this is very useful for me [13:11] Skaag: that's why REAL sysadmins don't have buddies [13:11] LOL!!!! :-) [13:11] <_ruben> heheh [13:11] :) [13:11] Gotta drink beer with someone..! [13:11] * twb looks up definition in Bierce's dictionary... [13:14] Humph. All that I see is BEFRIEND, v.t. To make an ingrate. [13:16] hey guys, what is (in your opinion) the best FOSS webshop/shoppingcart out there? [13:17] woutervddn: is "ofbiz" one of those? [13:17] woutervddn: I suspect they all suck donkey balls, but I've yet to have the mispleasure of investigating the problem domain. [13:18] I'm testing 12 of them atm and they are all hell in their own way :p [13:18] ofbiz isn't one of those 12 so I'll give that a try also.. :) [13:18] If it's any consolation, the little I've dealt with non-Free ones indicates they're no better [13:19] I just don't like the idea of making one from scratch.. :s [13:19] woutervddn: if you did, you [13:19] it has to be maintained by two female designers with no experience.. [13:19] woutervddn: if you did, you'd just end up with 13 crap ones [13:20] That is, the existing twelve, plus yours. [13:20] :p lol is that a compliment? *-) [13:20] what do you suggest then? :p [13:22] woutervddn: my suggestion is: get a new job :-/ [13:24] twb: not exactly an option [13:32] mmh, why would acire and python snippets try to access my keyring? [14:42] hello [14:42] is there someone who ever worked with openswan ?
