wrstchris4585: well since unity is based on gnome 3 and unity on gnome 2 is that the reason?00:00
chris4585wrst, that might be it...00:00
wrsti suspect its not an intentional snub00:00
chris4585I kind of wish we were using gnome 3.x but I bet that wont be too long00:01
wrstchris4585: i'm loving gnome 300:02
chris4585well thats good I kind of thought you would00:02
chris4585like I said before I can't wait to try it00:02
wrstits great, they i think may not have hit a home run bue certainly an RBI double and for it to be so many major changes what else could you ask for00:06
chris4585yeah00:06
wrstand it will improve from here00:07

cyberangerpace_t_zulu: sorry, unusual day18:30
heckifiknowwhat port does my website need to be on to be viewed on the web?18:37
pace_t_zuluheckifiknow: 8018:38
pace_t_zuluheckifiknow: 80 for http .... 443 for https18:38
heckifiknowhrmm, well what about my firewall not letting computers through?18:38
heckifiknowsaid something about port 7318:38
pace_t_zuluheckifiknow: so you're using windows server 2008?18:42
heckifiknowyea18:42
pace_t_zuluheckifiknow: you have the machine physically near you... or is it hosted somewhere else18:42
pace_t_zulu?18:42
heckifiknowi have two roles, web server,(IIS7) and DNS Server,18:42
heckifiknowim on it right now18:42
heckifiknowand my godaddy account domain is set to point to my ip address18:43
heckifiknowi tryed setting up nameservers but i didn't do something exactly right18:43
pace_t_zului wouldn't worry about DNS until you can get the web server working with an ip address18:43
pace_t_zuluheckifiknow: i'm going to pm you again to get more details that you might not want logged in here18:43

brandonnxdok can someone help me get my ip address set so that remote computers can view my webpage20:16
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: you need to forward port 80 to the machine that the webserver is running on20:26
brandonnxdok, im trying to open up the wizard now for my netgear modem20:28
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: what brand & model modem and routers do you have?20:32
brandonnxdhey!20:34
brandonnxdi need to know something20:34
wrsthello everyone20:37
brandonnxdhey20:37
brandonnxdwrst20:37
wrsthelo brandonnxd20:37
brandonnxdcan help me with port fowarding?20:37
wrstbrandonnxd: really just depends on the router you are using, should be simple enough and some routers have an option to enable DMZ20:38
brandonnxdok i have service name i chose http20:39
brandonnxdfor setting up my website20:39
brandonnxdand server ip address20:39
brandonnxdis that my private ip address or public ip address20:39
brandonnxd192.  or  75.20:39
wrstbrandonnxd: you need to set your router to forward port 80 to the internal IP address of your webserver20:40
brandonnxdso thats whatever ip address i choose?20:41
brandonnxdor my private ip address20:41
brandonnxdor my DNS server address.20:41
wrstno what is the IP adddress of your server, the local IP address20:41
brandonnxdk20:41
brandonnxdsorry im just overwhelming my self, but i think im almost donw20:41
wrstbrandonnxd: for instance if yoru IP is 192.168.1.100 you will forward port 80 to that20:42
brandonnxd1ok :D20:47
wrstpace_t_zulu: does he know enough to do what he's doing? i thought that was a pretty simple process?20:53
wrstbrandonnxd1: give me the model number of the router and let me check and see what i can find out might be able to help you out a little more?20:54
brandonnxd1i think im done20:55
brandonnxd1i set up three20:55
brandonnxd1ports20:55
brandonnxd1one for smtp one for http and one for dns20:55
wrstok well if you don't get it brandonnxd1 let me know if i don't know I know people that know :)20:55
pace_t_zuluwrst: i suggested getting a hosting provider20:56
cyberangerbrandonnxd1: you need to really check that your static20:56
cyberangeror things will break down20:56
wrstyeah pace_t_zulu i would agree that hosting is cheap20:56
brandonnxd1ok so with those threee ports20:56
pace_t_zulucyberanger: he's not there yet20:56
pace_t_zulucyberanger: he still needs to setup port forwarding20:56
brandonnxd1i should be able to send emails with php and with set up nameservers right20:56
brandonnxd1and also let people see my page20:56
brandonnxd1k20:56
pace_t_zuluyou can send emails with php without any of this setup20:57
brandonnxd1so now i need to change my ip address and fix the port fowarding to match right?20:57
brandonnxd1my comp said that smtp isn't set up on my comp20:57
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: you need to configure your network to forward port 80 traffic to the ip address of the web server20:57
brandonnxd1ok, but i gotta chang my ip address so u guys can see my webpage right?20:58
brandonnxd1i can't get the ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway to match up,20:58
brandonnxd1im looking that up now20:58
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: when it is correctly configured you should see your webpage at http://75.64.5.237/20:59
pace_t_zuluwhich i do see now20:59
pace_t_zulugood job brandonnxd120:59
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: it is working now...21:01
wrstbrandonnxd1: i got it also21:01
brandonnxd1it is! :D21:01
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: you should set thatsa2cheapcarpetcleaning.com to point to 75.64.5.237 rather than 192.168.1.221:01
brandonnxd1ok :D21:02
brandonnxd1thanks u guys21:02
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: if you do that then you should be able to browse to http://thatsa2cheapcarpetcleaning.com and get the same page as http://75.64.5.23721:02
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: but pay attention to what cyberanger said about your ip address21:02
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: if your ip address is not static - it could change at anytime and then thatsa2cheapcarpetcleaning.com will point to someone else's cable modem21:03
wrstyeah brandonnxd1 pace_t_zulu has suggested the best, and probably cheapest solution to get a commercial web host21:04
brandonnxd1its static21:04
brandonnxd1and21:04
brandonnxd1now my other computer isn't online21:05
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: fyi your website loads very slowly where i am ... getting a hosting provider would help with that too21:05
cyberangerbrandonnxd1: it looks like your 75. address is not21:05
brandonnxd1it isn't21:06
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: fyi comcast cable bandwidth is asymetric... meaning you cannot upload as fast as you can download... which is what a web server does21:06
brandonnxd1i set it in my cable modem box to be static21:06
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: it is not that simple21:06
brandonnxd1ok, am learning alot21:06
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: usually you have to contact comcast about that21:06
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: and it is likely to be more expensive21:07
wrstand it will cost you extra probably have to go to a bus. class or something21:07
brandonnxd1ok so when i set my port forwards i set my ip to be static instead of dynamic21:07
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: i was in you shoes before.... hosting provider is going to be the path of least resistance21:07
brandonnxd1well, this is my website, i think i may just have someone put up a copy while i work with this one?21:08
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: i wouldn't recommend serving public websites from your home21:08
wrstbrandonnxd1: you open yourself up for attacks21:09
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: yea... you should setup a test server at home... use that for testing21:09
brandonnxd1so now my websites up, im on server 200821:09
brandonnxd1does that not make me very secure if i keep the updates?21:10
wrstbrandonnxd1: you have a common port opened up21:11
brandonnxd1hrmm, can i use a different port21:12
brandonnxd1grr21:12
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: no21:12
brandonnxd1how do i connect a computer wirelessly to the modem i just configured?21:12
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: not unless you want your address to be http://thatsa2cheapcarpetcleaning.com:808021:12
brandonnxd1can i use bindings to change that21:13
brandonnxd1and hide the 808021:13
brandonnxd1and then would that help my security21:13
pace_t_zuluif you want to hide it you have to have port 80 open somewhere21:13
brandonnxd1ok well for now21:14
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: hosting provider is *HIGHLY* recommended at this point21:14
brandonnxd1how do i connect my laptop to my modem21:14
brandonnxd1ill start my computer over in a minute21:14
brandonnxd1but my laptop lost connection when i configured my modem21:14
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: you may have changed the WiFi SSID or security parameters21:14
brandonnxd1hrmm21:16
brandonnxd1its connected21:16
wrstor brandonnxd1 you probably restarted your modem after opening up the ports21:16
brandonnxd1just not to the internet21:16
wrstand that caused a connection loss21:16
wrstis your laptop windows also?21:16
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: i can see that you have ports 53 and 80 open21:18
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: anyone in the world can see that21:18
brandonnxd1yea21:19
brandonnxd1and hrmm21:19
brandonnxd1how about now21:19
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: still open21:21
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: what did you try to do to close them?21:21
brandonnxd1im trying to think.... i can bind my webpage to a different port21:21
brandonnxd1and then close port 8021:21
brandonnxd1im confused21:21
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd1: if you want a clean URL (without a port number in it) port 80 must be open21:22
pace_t_zuluwrst, cyberanger right?21:22
brandonnxd1oh21:23
brandonnxd1gotcha21:23
pace_t_zuluport 80 = http://21:23
pace_t_zuluport 443 = https://21:23
wrstyes pace_t_zulu21:24
wrstAFAIK21:24
wrstbrandonnxd1: trust me if you want people to see this webpage you will want a commercial host, doing it your way is great for testing i do that a lot actaully but for more than that consumer grade connections just don't work well for hosting a website the upload speeds aren't fast enough for one not to mention the security concerns21:26
brandonnxdk21:27
brandonnxdi think i have them all closed no21:27
brandonnxdnow21:27
brandonnxdhey21:27
wrsti know port 80 is closed i can't access the page anymore21:29
brandonnxdk21:34
brandonnxdso i guess ill just leave it like that21:34
brandonnxd:/21:34
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: make sure windows update is always installing security fixes21:36
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: in short, yes21:36
pace_t_zulucyberanger: "in short" is what i was going for21:37
cyberanger(sorry, county roads & cell signal, not an ideal mix)21:37
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i'm sure there is a convoluted way to do it... but that's not appropriate at this level21:37
pace_t_zulucyberanger: no worries21:37
brandonnxdi still can't get my laptop to connect to the internet21:40
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: and honestly, for moneys worth, a host on port 80 is best21:40
brandonnxdnrmd21:41
brandonnxdi fixed that.21:41
brandonnxdi accidently picked use this DNS server, and the other laptop wasn't set to that :/21:42
brandonnxdi guess, neway i fixed that and laptop works again21:42
brandonnxdsucccksksksks21:44
brandonnxdi wanna host my own website21:44
brandonnxdand name server, coz im about to buy a new computer for personal use and only use this one for server21:44
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: sounds like a perfect setup to experiment with21:45
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: if you want to start hosting for other people... you'll want a hosting provider21:45
brandonnxdhrmmm, can i do that myself?21:45
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: but what you a doing is definitely worth while - a good learning experience21:45
wrstagreed brandonnxd you will learn a bunch from what you are doing21:46
brandonnxd yep and i gotta lot of awesome software21:46
brandonnxdim trying to learn how to use21:46
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: what awesome software?21:46
brandonnxdidk, :P i got urmm mysql server 200821:47
brandonnxdvisual studio professional 201021:47
wrstha ha brandonnxd you are in a linux channel so you may not get many pats on the back :P21:47
brandonnxdurmm  www.dreamspark.com/21:47
brandonnxdhaha and i know21:47
brandonnxd:P21:47
brandonnxdi like linux, coz everything is free, but microsoft gave me all that stuff free, so yea21:48
wrstbrandonnxd: in all honesty i think you will want to expirement with hosting on a linux server21:48
brandonnxdi get some and i lose some21:48
brandonnxd, is ubuntu a good enviroment?21:48
brandonnxdto do that on21:48
brandonnxdor is that an OS and not server?21:49
wrstbrandonnxd: ubuntu server is a great server op i think especially to get your start on21:49
brandonnxdthats what i got, but don't know how to do all the stuff i just did from there21:49
brandonnxdis it more secure, like whats the pros and cons vs the way i do  it now?21:50
brandonnxd.21:51
wrstbrandonnxd: ubuntu is botha  server os and a desktop os its in two different "editions"21:52
brandonnxdohh21:55
brandonnxdso whats the link for the server os?21:55
wrstbrandonnxd: http://www.ubuntu.com/business/server/overview21:57
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: microsoft gives you all that stuff for free because you are a student... you learn on their software for free... after you graduate, when you want to make money, you are dependent on their software - because that's what you learned on22:03
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: see why it suits microsoft to give you their software free?22:05
wrstalmost like cigarette companies giving out free samples pace_t_zulu?22:07
pace_t_zului guess brandonnxd doesn't see the point22:12
brandonnxdyea, i get that, and i like their software sometimes coz it shows me how i should do everything by looking where it saves stuff22:15
brandonnxdit tries to hide everything though22:16
brandonnxdso urmm about that server im downloading,, is it easy to set up my site on it?22:16
wrstbrandonnxd: you will learn how to really do things with ubuntu server there is no gui on it22:16
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: but you can have a desktop on ubuntu-server if you are more comfortable that way22:27
pace_t_zulusudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop22:27
brandonnxdi dont' mind the terminal22:32
brandonnxdi just need to know more commands for doing the task that ill have to do22:32
pace_t_zulubrandonnxd: if you don't mind the terminal.... you definitely should be working with Linux rather than Windows22:33
brandonnxdk so now i gotta get some php script to working on my website23:03
brandonnxdand then its off to javascript23:03
brandonnxdne body wanna help me :P23:03
brandonnxdnevermind, im gonna put that off for a minute.23:04
