[01:24] <pting> is there a commandline fastcgi client app? I want something similar to wget but for fastcgi
[01:51] <Monotoko> how many servers do I need to set up something that will resolve domains to my dedicated server???
[01:51] <Monotoko> I just want one server...why do I need so many?
[02:10] <patdk-lap> Monotoko, you only need one, you should have two, and really you should have 3-4 in different locations
[02:12] <Monotoko> 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] <patdk-lap> yep
[02:56] <Monotoko> patdk-lap, are you still here?
[02:57] <Monotoko> seem to have got myself into a hole ><
[02:57] <twb> Monotoko: is there something we can help with?
[02:58] <Monotoko> nameservers....I have tried to set up bind9 according to the Ubuntu Server Guide. However:
[02:58] <Monotoko> PING hostinghaven.co.uk (82.165.148.96) 56(84) bytes of data.
[02:58] <Monotoko> 64 bytes from www.domainname.com (82.165.148.96): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.018 ms
[02:58] <Monotoko> why is it replying from domainname.com?
[02:58] <twb> I guess because that's the canonical name
[02:59] <Monotoko> also, I have a domain pointing at the nameservers I just set up and it isn't working
[03:00] <twb> Test each component in isolation first.
[03:01] <twb> For example, is the host responding to port 80?  If so, can you manually issue a GET with a Host: foo header?
[03:01] <Monotoko> no response on port 80 using the new domain
[03:01] <twb> Don't forget that DNS updates take time to propagate through caches.
[03:01] <EvilPhoenix> indeed
[03:02] <twb> Monotoko: test it with IP first, so that you aren't relying on name resolution for that test
[03:02] <twb> printf 'GET / HTTP/0.9\rHost: example.net\r\r' | nc 1.2.3.4 80
[03:03] <EvilPhoenix> i'm getting 404 errors for your domain, Monotoko
[03:03] <Monotoko> EvilPhoenix, hostinghaven.co.uk?
[03:03] <EvilPhoenix> well i was getting 404s.  Then it shows up some default page
[03:03] <EvilPhoenix> i'm reading the packets
[03:04] <twb> EvilPhoenix: he probably censored his real domain with "www.domainname.com" to annoy us and make us less likely to help
[03:04] <EvilPhoenix> i got this twice: Message: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n
[03:04] <Monotoko> twb, nope
[03:04] <EvilPhoenix> THEN i got to some landing page
[03:04] <Monotoko> its actually coming up like that
[03:04] <EvilPhoenix> titled "Default Web Site Page"
[03:04] <Monotoko> the landing page is what you should
[03:04] <Monotoko> get#
[03:04] <Monotoko> and what I am trying to get using: bestislandmusic.com
[03:04] <EvilPhoenix> well i use level3's DNS servers, and google's DNS servers (4.2.2.4, and 8.8.8.8 respectively)
[03:04] <EvilPhoenix> they spit me out on that landing page
[03:05] <EvilPhoenix> now THAT 404's
[03:05] <EvilPhoenix> probly because the data hasn't been propagated yet
[03:05] <twb> http://paste.debian.net/103251/ is what I get for DNS
[03:05] <Monotoko> hmmm, I'm not sure if I set up bind9 wrongly
[03:05] <chrislabeard> what do I need to set up on my server so that drupal can send mail and or wordpress?
[03:06] <chrislabeard> would that be a relay or a gateway
[03:06] <EvilPhoenix> Monotoko, i'll do a dnsget
[03:07] <EvilPhoenix> here's the pastebin i'm getting from dnsget using any dnsservers that I use: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/W66j6cfR
[03:07] <twb> Monotoko: personally I wouldn't bother hosting your own DNS records; someone like zonedit will do a better job
[03:07] <M4rotku> 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] <EvilPhoenix> yeah ZoneEdit is good, and pretty free
[03:07] <Monotoko> twb, I'm trying to set up a host so it isn't an option
[03:08] <Monotoko> I have everything apart from DNS nailed
[03:08] <twb> Monotoko: that doesn't make any sense
[03:08] <EvilPhoenix> Monotoko:  you can EASILY use ZoneEdit for DNS
[03:09] <EvilPhoenix> its crazy easy
[03:09] <twb> M4rotku: the "boot flag" is not used by Ubuntu
[03:09] <Monotoko> hmmmm
[03:09] <M4rotku> twb, then why does it give me the option to set it within the install process?
[03:09] <twb> M4rotku: you can turn it on post-install by running "parted /dev/sda set boot 0 on" or so
[03:10] <twb> M4rotku: AFAIK it doesn't.
[03:10] <twb> M4rotku: are you using the ubuntu SERVER install media?
[03:10] <M4rotku> twb, ok, that makes sense.  i'm using the normal install cd for the 32-bit server edition 10.10
[03:11] <twb> I cannot comment on ubiquity (desktop CD) installs
[03:11] <twb> M4rotku: verbatim, what is the text you see concerning the boot flag?
[03:12] <twb> chrislabeard: any MTA will do, but postfix is probably a good choice
[03:13] <chrislabeard> twb: it seems like php out of the box can send mail from drupal using php sendmail()
[03:13] <chrislabeard> twb: but my server isn't sending anything out
[03:13] <twb> You probably have an MTA installed but not configured
[03:13] <twb> chrislabeard: aptitude search '?installed ?provides(mail-transport-agent)'
[03:14] <M4rotku> twb, don't worry about it, i think i figured it out.  thanks for your help
[03:14] <chrislabeard> twb: i   postfix                         - High-performance mail transport agent
[03:14] <twb> chrislabeard: dpkg-reconfigure -plow postfix
[03:14] <twb> 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] <chrislabeard> twb: oh okay so i need another mail server in conjunction with postfix?
[03:15] <chrislabeard> twb: I want to be able to get e-mail locally and remotely to other users of my sites
[03:15] <twb> chrislabeard: only if you run a whole network
[03:16] <twb> chrislabeard: if your "network" is one box, you just need to set up postfix
[03:16] <chrislabeard> twb: yeah its just one server, so what config would i pick for my situation.
[03:16] <twb> chrislabeard: "host on internet" or something?  I forget.
[03:16] <chrislabeard> internet site/
[03:16] <chrislabeard> ?
[03:17] <twb> chrislabeard: go read the ubuntu server guide, it has information about this
[03:17] <chrislabeard> twb: k
[03:18] <twb> I wish people wouldn't try to get clever in init.d scripts...
[03:18]  * twb glares at openvasd
[03:21] <Monotoko> EvilPhoenix, can I only have one domain in zoneedit before I am charged?
[03:22] <twb> Monotoko: I think it was about five
[03:23] <Monotoko> twb, this is no good...I am trying to set up a resellers hosting service for businesses
[03:24] <Monotoko> they need domains...and lots of them
[03:24] <Monotoko> which is why I was trying to set up DNS
[03:24] <twb> So factor that into your prices
[03:25] <EvilPhoenix> twb they changed it
[03:25] <EvilPhoenix> Monotoko:  you can have 3 free domains
[03:25] <EvilPhoenix> Monotoko:  before you need to pay for a plan
[03:25] <EvilPhoenix> Monotoko:  but i got in when it was 5 free domains so I have 5 :P
[03:26] <twb> Grr, I can't script openvas-adduser becaus the flipping thing uses stty
[05:44] <Error404NotFound> 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] <Error404NotFound> which is ofcourse true because no such user will exist for a mysql database on a gentoo, how do i fix it?
[07:09] <gobbe> well you create a new user there
[09:39] <Error404NotFound> how do i create the debian-system-maint user back in mysql?
[10:10] <sander^work> How is  it possible to have a  keyboard layout for one user other than the global one?
[10:58] <joschi> 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] <Error404NotFound> joschi, got that figured out, now stuck with: http://pastebin.com/gqmiqPvM
[10:59] <Error404NotFound> even though mysql.proc is there, its complaining...
[10:59] <Error404NotFound> also tried mysql_upgrade
[11:01] <Error404NotFound> joschi, actually this: http://pastebin.com/NbbYba8s is better, sorted, and compressed, deleted irrelevant bits
[11:02] <joschi> Error404NotFound: does the stored procedure exist?
[11:03] <Error404NotFound> 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] <Error404NotFound> joschi, yup, it does.
[11:12] <joschi> 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] <joschi> Error404NotFound: otherwise you might have more luck in #mysql
[11:13] <Error404NotFound> joschi, haven't had any luck there.
[11:13] <Error404NotFound> also its 30G db, so mysql times out when i try to take a dump after 6G
[11:14] <joschi> Error404NotFound: raise the timeouts
[11:16] <the_eye_> I cant mount samba shares from nautilus
[11:17] <the_eye_> using smb://ip mounts ok
[11:17] <the_eye_> any help ?
[11:22] <twb> the_eye_: that's not a server question
[11:30] <the_eye_> well its about samba server
[11:31] <RoyK> the_eye_: not really
[11:32] <the_eye_> ok 2 question, I add a share in smb.conf but I cant access it. The other shares works fine
[11:32] <the_eye_> any tip here ?
[11:34] <twb> the_eye_: did you restart or reload samba after editing smb.conf?
[11:35] <twb> 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] <the_eye_> I restart the service, I can view the share but I cant access it
[11:35] <twb> the_eye_: perhaps you got the access rules in smb.conf incorrect, then?  Pastebin the entire smb.conf file.
[11:39] <the_eye_> Its the same configuration, you can see it at the end of file
[11:39] <the_eye_> http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/m28896ea5
[11:39] <the_eye_> a,b works. I cant access c
[11:41] <twb> the_eye_: what are the permissions on each of those dirs?
[11:45] <the_eye_> al, drwxr-xr-x    b,drwxrwxrwx          c, drwxr-xr-x
[11:45] <the_eye_> edit a, drwxr-xr-
[11:45] <RoyK> the_eye_: and owner/group?
[11:46] <the_eye_> all same user ownership/group
[12:57] <Skaag> 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] <woutervddn> skaag, you are root?
[12:57] <Skaag> yes
[12:58] <woutervddn> hmm.. maybe force it to quit first..
[12:59] <Skaag> I think this worked: dpkg -r --force-all mysql-server-5.0
[12:59] <Skaag> checking..
[12:59] <Skaag> yes!
[12:59] <Skaag> excellent :)
[13:01] <twb> Skaag: remove ≠ purge
[13:01] <Skaag> lenny/sid = intrepid ibex?
[13:01] <twb> Skaag: no.
[13:01] <twb> "lenny/sid" is where Ubuntu steals most of its code from
[13:02] <twb> Try "lsb_release -a" to find out what release you're running.
[13:02] <Skaag> it says intrepid
[13:02] <Skaag> but my sources.list is all boinxed
[13:02] <twb> Fix it, then.
[13:02] <_ruben> !intrepid
[13:02] <_ruben> time to upgrade ;)
[13:02] <Skaag> I need to restore it to a sane version of the file so I can do an upgrade
[13:03] <_ruben> ah
[13:03] <Skaag> this is an old system of a friend who asked me to help him upgrade
[13:03] <Skaag> but it looks like apt-get update returns a bunch of 404's
[13:03] <_ruben> because its eol
[13:03] <twb> Ugh, openvas-nvt-sync exits with a nonzero status *when it succeeds*?!
[13:03] <Skaag> possibly because the eol
[13:03] <Skaag> yah
[13:04] <Skaag> what do I do then? :)
[13:04] <twb> _ruben: it's old-releases.u.c, right?
[13:04] <Skaag> I'll try to do-release-upgrade anyway
[13:04] <Skaag> see where that leads me
[13:04] <_ruben> twb: correct
[13:04] <twb> _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] <twb> _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] <twb> I'm talking about /var/lib/apt/methods/mirror, not the apt-mirror package
[13:06] <Skaag> _ruben: ah, thanks!
[13:06] <twb> i.e. HTTP with a a geoip dispatch provided by the canonical server
[13:07] <Skaag> _ruben: does something similar exist for the security updates?
[13:07] <_ruben> never looked at that
[13:07] <Skaag> 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] <Skaag> I will try to also substitute with old-releases
[13:07] <Skaag> true
[13:07] <twb> Skaag: -hardened would know
[13:07] <_ruben> just try it or just disable it
[13:07] <twb> _ruben: but he ouhght to be able to get the already-issued patches
[13:08] <Skaag> I think it worked..!!
[13:08] <Skaag> yah
[13:08] <_ruben> wouldnt suprise me if they got "merged" into old-rel
[13:08] <Skaag> excellent :)
[13:08] <Skaag> yes apparently they merged them.
[13:08] <twb> Gumph
[13:08] <twb> 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] <twb> Granted, though *I* do use snapshots.debian.org for retrospective purposes
[13:10] <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] <_ruben> i know of atleast one 7.10 server mucking around ;)
[13:10] <Skaag> and I gotta help, being a buddy and all ;-)
[13:10] <twb> e.g. when VCSizing a package, I'll import the old releases' history
[13:10] <Skaag> so this is very useful for me
[13:11] <twb> Skaag: that's why REAL sysadmins don't have buddies
[13:11] <Skaag> LOL!!!! :-)
[13:11] <_ruben> heheh
[13:11] <gobbe> :)
[13:11] <Skaag> Gotta drink beer with someone..!
[13:11]  * twb looks up definition in Bierce's dictionary...
[13:14] <twb> Humph.  All that I see is BEFRIEND, v.t. To make an ingrate.
[13:16] <woutervddn> hey guys, what is (in your opinion) the best FOSS webshop/shoppingcart out there?
[13:17] <twb> woutervddn: is "ofbiz" one of those?
[13:17] <twb> woutervddn: I suspect they all suck donkey balls, but I've yet to have the mispleasure of investigating the problem domain.
[13:18] <woutervddn> I'm testing 12 of them atm and they are all hell in their own way :p
[13:18] <woutervddn> ofbiz isn't one of those 12 so I'll give that a try also.. :)
[13:18] <twb> If it's any consolation, the little I've dealt with non-Free ones indicates they're no better
[13:19] <woutervddn> I just don't like the idea of making one from scratch.. :s
[13:19] <twb> woutervddn: if you did, you
[13:19] <woutervddn> it has to be maintained by two female designers with no experience..
[13:19] <twb> woutervddn: if you did, you'd just end up with 13 crap ones
[13:20] <twb> That is, the existing twelve, plus yours.
[13:20] <woutervddn> :p lol is that a compliment? *-)
[13:20] <woutervddn> what do you suggest then? :p
[13:22] <twb> woutervddn: my suggestion is: get a new job :-/
[13:24] <woutervddn> twb: not exactly an option
[13:32] <yann2> mmh, why would acire and python snippets try to access my keyring?
[14:42] <Genk1> hello
[14:42] <Genk1> is there someone who ever worked with openswan ?
[14:44] <pmatulis> !ask | Genk1
[14:45] <Genk1> pmatulis, ok
