[02:24] hmm, you can't share drives that way, unless your using special firmware on the drives, like how gfs was origionally designed to work :) [02:27] hehe. [02:27] I'm trying to help this guy who's trying to provide redundancy of a single shelf of FC-attached storage to 2 physical servers, those 2 physical servers are what he wants to provide network filesystems from, and NFS we all know sucks at that for fault tolerance. ;) [02:27] basically, you still need a lock manager, so two drives don't cache/write to the same place at the same time [02:28] origional gfs put the lock managers on the drives themselfs in the firmware [02:28] I'm pretty much at the point of thinking, no matter what, 50% of the shelf is going to be dedicated to each physical server. Correct? [02:28] depends on how you set it up, but I believe so [02:28] Yeah. [02:28] then if one server dies, the other one can steal those drives [02:52] hi. i've got a shorewall routing question if somebody can possibly help.

[09:08] I have created a new user but when i ssh using it all i get is the $ sign! [09:08] that's because you don't have the bash shell I think. [09:08] The user is probably havng /bin//sh [09:08] err /bin/sh [09:08] nigelb How can I fix this please? [09:10] "sudo chsh -s /bin/bash username" perhaps? [09:10] I'm not sure.

Now I want to be able to send mail via PHP. What is the best way to go about this? Any recommendations on send only MTAs or particular setups? [14:25] 'apt-get install postfix' ? [14:26] Jeeves_: i've been told that is overkill for what i'm trying to do [14:26] and apparantly send only MTA's are the way to go [14:26] i've had trouble setting up postfix in the past, perhaps i just need to look into it a bit more [14:29] send only mta's can get you into lots of issues though [14:29] if you care about your email [14:30] they don't cache/spool, so if the mta they are sending to is down, or something, your emails are lost [14:30] so I go with postfix instead :) [14:31] allright, i'll give that another go, any tips on how to set it up in my php.ini? [14:31] I agree, it may be "overkill" but postfix won't let you down [14:31] I've run into all sorts of trouble with supposedly simple lightweight MTAs [14:31] you don't "set it up in php.ini" [14:32] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). [14:32] when you install postfix it becomes the local "sendmail" daemon [14:32] ; http://php.net/sendmail-path [14:32] ;sendmail_path = [14:32] you don't need to configure any of that [14:32] just use mail() [14:32] it knows what to do [14:33] so, "sudo apt-get install postfix; sudo apache2ctl restart;" should allow me to use mail() ? [14:33] you only need to configure that if you have a botched up install where your system doesn't know where its mail daemon is, or you're using an external mail system directly from PHP [14:33] apache restart shouldn't be needed [14:33] just install and configure postfix, it will "just work" [14:34] be aware though, that your mails will probably get caught by spam filters unless you do it properly [14:34] allright then, i'm guessing i should pick "Internet site" for the postfix conf? [14:34] yep [14:34] yes [14:34] system mail name of any particular importance? [14:34] very [14:35] by default it is set to my hostname [14:35] that's the local mail domain [14:35] e.g. if your website is mysite.com [14:35] that would be mysite.com [14:35] phetips: ssmtp works, i think [14:35] it's a development setup, it runs on my localhost [14:36] that name is where mail sent by the system comes from, and where reply mail should be sent to [14:37] so if it's just a local server, what should i set it to? [14:37] probably the default if it's not going on the internet at all [14:37] well, i would like to have it send e-mail to my gmail or exchange server [14:38] if you have a working exchange mail system, you should use the satellite configuration instead [14:38] and have it forward mail to exchange [14:39] i'm guessing i should not set the system mail name to the exchange domain then? [14:39] or should i [14:39] sorry for being so newbish :) [14:39] and thanks for being so helpful [14:39] no, in that case set it to the local host name [14:40] the way spam filters work, any mail that isn't sent from an apparently legitimate server gets junked [14:40] so if you want your mail to work on the internet, you can't just set up a simple, unconfigured smtp [14:41] SMTP relay host should be the exchange server then? [14:41] it has to go through a properly configured system [14:41] yes [14:41] and the exchange server needs to accept relays from your host [14:47] pmatulis, correct ... i didnt use --dest to move it out of /root as qemu wont load from /root ... resolved not sorry [14:48] podman99: 'resolved not sorry' ? [14:49] qman__: do you happen to know if i can run that configuration tool again? [14:49] it aborted [14:50] phetips: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix' ? [14:51] pmatulis: awesome, thanks [14:54] qman__: just setting it up as Internet server and setting mail name to "localhost" [14:54] was actually sufficient to ahve it send mail to my exchange server [14:54] without it getting marked as spam or anything :) [14:54] anyways, thanks for the help! [15:06] hey, can someone help me with my virtual hosts? i seem to be doing it wrong somehow... [15:06] !ask | Wolfsherz [15:06] Wolfsherz: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:07] well ok, i get the following error when starting apache: [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [15:08] Wolfsherz: but does your setup work? [15:10] not as it should. beside the default i defined a second virtual host under /etc/apache2/sites/available and enabled it with a2ensite. the default-site i open with the servers ip. the second one is a domain inquirere.de wich works only when i open www.inquirere.de not without www. it then defaults to the default-page [15:11] i guess there must be an error with the default or second virtual-host definition [15:13] would it help to post the config-files default and inquirere.de? [15:15] Wolfsherz: did you follow any documentation? [15:16] yes, i followed a book called ubuntu-server by michael kofler [15:24] do I need NameVirtualHost * at the default-configuration? [15:25] it has not been in there, but the book had it in, so i included it. [15:25] <_ruben> the warning means that you have a "NameVirtualHost *:80" config directive but no matching "" entry or entries [15:27] but i can not see any *:80 directive [15:28] <_ruben> according the warning, it is *somewhere* :) [15:29] <_ruben> might wanna grep for *:80 recursively through /etc/apache2/ :) [15:30] what the... its in ports.conf [15:31] so i'm going to remove the NameVirtualHost * in the default site configuration [15:32] message gone, thanks! [15:33] the other problem persists though: when opening inquirere.de it does show the default-site not the configured vhost [15:34] i defined ServerName inquirere.de and ServerAlias www.inquirere.de [15:36] <_ruben> i've been running into similar issues recently, hadn't had time time to dive in though :/ [15:37] <_ruben> though in my case, one vhost config seems to trample another, as browsing to the servername of the other, it ends up at the first anyways [15:38] this is my vhost: [15:38] [15:38] DocumentRoot /home/inquirere/www/ [15:38] ServerName www.inquirere.de [15:38] ServerAlias inquirere.de [15:38] ErrorLog /home/inquirere/www-log/error.log [15:38] CustomLog /home/inquirere/www-log/access.log combined [15:38] ServerAdmin webmaster@inquirere.de [15:38] ErrorDocument 404 /not-found.html [15:38] [15:38] [15:38] AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo [15:39] [15:39] [15:39] !paste | Wolfsherz [15:39] Wolfsherz: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[22:37] examancer, don't believe so :) [22:37] do you have the root account enabled? [22:38] any other account in sudoers you can log into? [22:38] I am getting "cannot lock /etc/group" please trty later [22:38] when? [22:39] examancer, fraid I am the only admin on teh box. It is a vm that I can reclone but I would rather try to find teh fault first [22:39] when I try to delete the original group that I created [22:39] examancer, don't believe the root is active (I've not given a password) [22:40] so you can't do: sudo cat /etc/sudoers ? [22:40] examancer, and its a standard install [22:40] the account your logged into... when you run `groups` you don't see "admin" as one of your groups? [22:41] examancer, just says I'm not in sudoers and will be reported [22:41] lol [22:41] * examancer points finger condescendingly ... *you've been reported* [22:42] what are your current groups for 'jim'? [22:43] just run 'groups' or 'groups jim' [22:43] examancer, when I groups jim - I am only in jim and netshare [22:44] that's the problem [22:44] sudo priviledge is given to those in the 'admin' group on a standard install [22:44] you must have done something to remove jim from that group [22:44] thank goodness for VMs [22:45] lol so I actually moved myself to only one group :) [22:45] yet [22:45] Karti_: pastebin /etc/groups (for learning..) [22:45] *yep [22:46] i'm sure there is some way to escalate priviledges and get root access... but the fantastic linux/ubuntu community has made that really hard (for me) [22:46] its not like resetting the admin pass in windows [22:46] heh [22:47] guntbert, any way to copy text from putty? [22:47] if it were a real machine you might be able to boot into another OS and overwrite a passwd file or something to give root a password [22:47] Karti_: yes, just highlight [22:47] anything you highlight is copied [22:47] instantly [22:47] kind of annoying sometimes, actually [22:48] not working on teh old highlighting side I'm afraid [22:49] with PuTTY? if you highlight and then while its still highlighted try to paste you don't see what you highlighted? [22:49] i use it all day at work. maybe i played with the config [22:49] highlight then right click [22:50] oh. that config sounds better. whatever i did i should undo it :-P [22:51] oh. the copy action DOES happen just from highlighting. pasting is the right-click [22:52] guntbert, http://paste.ubuntu.com/548944/ [22:53] examancer, I just ssh'd from a terminal and copied [22:53] Karti_: so you deleted the admin group and removed jim from almost all groups -- not good :_) [22:54] * pennyless is back. [22:55] guntbert, I didnt delete the groups only add myself to netshare (was practicing with nfs [22:56] sudo usermod -G netshare jim [22:57] why'd you use that command [22:57] Karti_: you must have -- the quickest way back would be to reinstall - and in the future create a snapshot before experimenting :-) [22:58] lol its all from the net - I blame my reading and searching skills :) [22:58]
