| pleia2 | you'll have to determine your own security strategy, but typically wordpress would only need to write to a few specific directories, so you just want to change the ownership of those directories (not all of /var/www/) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| benonsoftware | Ok | 00:01 |
| pleia2 | so determine where wordpress needs to write to, then "chgrp -R www-data directory/" and "chmod g+w directory" | 00:01 |
| pleia2 | well "chmod -R g+w directory/" | 00:01 |
| benonsoftware | Thank you pleia2 | 00:01 |
| pleia2 | a lot of people do give www-data access to their whole /var/www, but that's terrible :( if you forget to upgrade wordpress and it gets hacked with the bad guy able to use the www-data user they can now delete everything :( | 00:02 |
| pleia2 | you want to make sure they can delete as little as possible, so give www-data only permission where it absolutely needs it, and make sure to keep good backups | 00:03 |
| benonsoftware | Ok :P | 00:04 |
| benonsoftware | Wordpress is asking me for my FTP details, is there a step-by-step guide on setting up a FTP server | 00:41 |

| Culiforge | hey all, I'm running 10.04 and have not customized the gui at all (that I'm aware of :). I have this issue wherein I mouse over the ubuntu icon in the upper left corner on the taskbar and a selector/chooser of the four desktop/workspace areas is presented. It's quite annoying and I'd like to turn it off. | 01:46 |
| jalcine | philipballew: Well, I want to keep the meta-data in a nice, fancy fashion. Something like Windows Media Center, you know? | 01:49 |
| jalcine | I've noticed there isn't such a setup for Ubuntu, perhaps to due to its friendliness with encrypted, DRM-protected discs. | 01:50 |

| JCZING | Hello. I am building a TeamSpeak 3 Server on 10.04. I am trying to figure out how to have my server automatically execute the a file on startup. If I need to restart my server, I don't want to go into the console to enter the startup command every time I do. The exact file is in this location: /home/ts3user/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh | 07:43 |
| benonsoftware | JCZING: I'm not sure how to do it but maybe a cronjob? | 08:19 |
| coalwater | benonsoftware: @restart for crontab, but he's gone lol | 09:55 |
| benonsoftware | :P | 09:56 |

| voidmain_ | Is there a way to find out from the terminal whether a partition is mounted or now? | 22:24 |
| Unit193 | Type mount | 22:25 |
| geirha | I usually run df -h for that | 22:25 |
| voidmain_ | Unit193: mount tells a bunch of things but I don't know what it says | 22:26 |
| Unit193 | That basically works too | 22:26 |
| voidmain_ | geirha: I never realized df -h did that... ! mmmm ok | 22:27 |
| voidmain_ | ok thank you Unit193 and geirha | 22:34 |
| Unit193 | Sure, have a nice evening! | 22:34 |
| voidmain_ | you too... | 22:34 |
| voidmain_ | by the way, yesterday, somebody wanted to connect to my computer. Is there a way to report that to an op here on irc or at ubuntu to protect future people possible attacks? | 22:35 |
| Unit193 | In this channel? | 22:36 |
| voidmain_ | no != Unit193 | 22:37 |
| voidmain_ | it was on #ubuntu | 22:37 |
| Unit193 | Ah, I suppose best place to ask would be #ubuntu-ops | 22:38 |
| voidmain_ | ah ok, that's a good idea... thanks Unit193 | 22:39 |
| Unit193 | You are welcome | 22:40 |
| ubuntu1 | hi, I am trying to kill a PID.. I did ps -ax | grep testdisk 3 process came up and I killed each and everyone of them using kill -9 yet the program is still running! Am I forgetting anything at all? | 23:04 |
| geirha | Ouch, don't use kill -9 | 23:06 |
| ubuntu1 | oh no? | 23:07 |
| ubuntu1 | somebody told me to do that! | 23:07 |
| ubuntu1 | gosh! I keep doing bad stuff!!!! | 23:07 |
| geirha | Use kill 1234 2345 to kill the processes with pids 1234 and 2345. The -9 option should "never" be used. | 23:08 |
| ubuntu1 | shit shit shit!!!! | 23:08 |
| ubuntu1 | I keep destroying my data!~~~ | 23:09 |
| ubuntu1 | I like linux but gosh... | 23:09 |
| geirha | You probably didn't destroy any data | 23:10 |
| ubuntu1 | I hope so... | 23:10 |
| ubuntu1 | I was running photorec's testdisk and there was no button to exit out!!!! | 23:10 |
| ubuntu1 | I hope I didn't make a bigger mistake than I already had | 23:10 |
| ubuntu1 | In the last 3 months I destroyed data over 6 to 7 times.. I'm depressed maybe that's why but gosh.. my memory span is very little | 23:11 |
| geirha | It's just that kill 1234 tells the process to please terminate, giving the process time to clean up before it exits. kill -9 1234 just plain kills it, possibly leaving temporary files around, configfiles it was writing to may be corrupted etc | 23:11 |
| ubuntu1 | I'm a danger but also unlucky | 23:11 |
| ubuntu1 | ah shit!!!! | 23:12 |
| ubuntu1 | Well! that's my freakin typical luck for you | 23:12 |
| ubuntu1 | I would have been better off to press ctrl z | 23:12 |
| ubuntu1 | to get out | 23:12 |
| Unit193 | ubuntu1: Try to keep it family friendly though :) | 23:12 |
| geirha | I can't say I've seen ps -ax before. I can't be bothered checking the manual about what that actually outputs. The usual options for ps is either ps aux or ps -ef | 23:13 |
| Unit193 | htop is a handy ncurses interface too, F3 to search | 23:13 |
| ubuntu1 | no but it's deconcerting! | 23:13 |
| ubuntu1 | htop Unit193 | 23:14 |
| geirha | But, If you run ps -ef | grep testdisk look at the output and pick out pids of processes you want to kill, and run kill command with those pids, they should disappear | 23:14 |
| ubuntu1 | Well thanks for telling me but it's a little bit too late | 23:15 |
| ubuntu1 | I hope nothing happened... at least! I had checked and the drive hadn't been mounted | 23:15 |
| ubuntu1 | if that makes a difference | 23:15 |
| geirha | I think I scared him off :( | 23:19 |
