| Kentos | anyone able to help me out here a bit? | 07:50 |
| Myrtti | Kentos: difficult to know without knowing your problem | 07:55 |
| Kentos | true no need to ask if no ones paying attention though =P | 07:56 |
| Kentos | im wondering how i would associate a domain name with my WAN address, ive tried forwarding, but thats still shows an actual IP as the root of the file systemn | 07:57 |
| Kentos | i did a masked forward however that still showed the IP on the bottom link reference, where the browser stays at the .com address bar, but the links all point to the IP | 07:58 |
| marw | hello. anyone got nginx+php working? | 08:02 |
| marw | what permissions should the www folder have? | 08:02 |
| Kentos | i've gotten php working before, you have to set certain user/group priviledges, read and write for them | 08:04 |
| lordievader | Good morning | 08:04 |
| Kentos | morning | 08:05 |
| Kentos | lord, have you any webserver experience? | 08:05 |
| lordievader | Hey Kentos, how are you? Some, not very much. What is your problem? | 08:05 |
| Kentos | trying to see how i can get the domainname.com i bought to be referenced as the server IP. I did forwarding with masking however that only applies the address bar, it still shows references for links as my wanIP | 08:07 |
| marw | i see that ginx and php are running as the same user (www-data). i'll try changing some aliases now. | 08:07 |
| lordievader | Kentos: Have you hard coded your wanIP into the links? | 08:08 |
| marw | ah, finally oO after tow days of setting it up... | 08:08 |
| Kentos | no, i jut used basic html image/html link | 08:09 |
| Kentos | when i hover over the link, it shows on the bottom of browser the link address as being my IP | 08:09 |
| Kentos | and then the www directory | 08:09 |
| Awaken | kentos, u need to set an a-record on the domain to point to the IP of the server | 08:10 |
| lordievader | Kentos: Can you show the source code of the page? | 08:10 |
| Awaken | for both domain.com and www.domain.com | 08:10 |
| lordievader | !paste | Kentos | 08:10 |
| ubottu | Kentos: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 08:10 |
| Kentos | the a-record? | 08:11 |
| Awaken | forwarding doesnt direct traffic it just means whoever u bought your domain off of runs an html frames page on their servers with your destination inside the frame | 08:11 |
| Awaken | setting an a-record to the IP of your server actually points the domain to your server properly | 08:11 |
| Kentos | ty guys | 08:18 |
| Kentos | it was was a point of confusion for me there | 08:19 |

| TheLordOfTime | would you recommend zentyal as a good remote-management platform that doesn't need SSH? | 17:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | since i can't ssh from everywhere, some nets restrict that | 17:14 |
| AlphaWolf | What can I do when I am in the following situation: If I press escape or any F# keys it shows a purple screen with "Ubuntu 12.04" and otherwise a log of messages from a server (in this case sickbeard) and I can't type anything? | 17:17 |
| === n0ts is now known as n0ts_off | ||
| AlphaWolf | As an alternate question, how can I get the MAC Address if when I type nothing is input? | 17:41 |
| three18ti | AlphaWolf, is this from a clean boot? do you get the login prompt then messages logged to STDOUT? | 17:52 |
| AlphaWolf | three18ti: From a clean boot it loads up a few services (the last being sickbeard). I don't have a login message (that I can see), and the input line is empty (no "user@ ~/" part) | 17:54 |
| three18ti | AlphaWolf, so it sounds like sickbeard is hijacking the boot process. how are you starting sickbeard? command in rc.local? | 17:55 |
| three18ti | (I'm assuming you're running a headless server machine, that's why you're in #ubuntu-server) | 17:56 |
| AlphaWolf | three18ti: I'm not 100% sure how I'm starting it. I'll have a look to see if I can find the tutorial I used. I am using Ubuntu Server (headless is no GUI, right?) | 17:57 |
| three18ti | AlphaWolf, yes, by "headless" I mean no gui. I had the same problem starting ps3media server because I added an entry in /etc/rc.local (something along the lines of `ps3mediaserver start --whatever --options`) and it would boot fine, but I wouldn't get a login prompt because ps3ms had started in "interactive" mode where it would log everything to STDOUT. adding an & to the command forked it into the background. I'm not saying | 18:00 |
| three18ti | that's what's going on here but it sure sounds similar. | 18:00 |
| three18ti | AlphaWolf, I would A) figure out how it is being started, then B) start in single user mode, disable the service, then reboot. can you boot into single user mode? | 18:01 |
| AlphaWolf | three18ti: I cannot access the server because I just moved and they need the MAC Address. How could I start it in single user mode? | 18:02 |
| three18ti | (As an aside and a point of clarification, a "headless" box canonically is one that does not have a monitor attached to and and you connect via SSH, VNC, RDP, etc; being this is a linuxbox I often use "headlesss" analogously to mean no GUI.) | 18:03 |
| three18ti | AlphaWolf, maybe I don't understand the problem fully. Who is "they" and why do they need the MAC? | 18:04 |
| TheLordOfTime | maybe they have a whitelist on the network(s) | 18:05 |
| AlphaWolf | three19ti: Sorry, I just moved to University accommodation. They need the MAC Address so I can connect (and get an IP to SSH in), but I can't actually DO anything when I plug in a monitor/keyboard :( | 18:05 |
| three18ti | AlphaWolf, you do have physical access to the server though right? Not like it's in the uni data center and you're trying to access it from your dorm? | 18:08 |
| AlphaWolf | three18ti: I do have physical access, yes. Could it work if I plug the ethernet from the server directly into another computer? | 18:09 |
| AlphaWolf | three18ti: I _think_ I used "sudo update-rc.d sickbeard defaults" to add it to the defaults | 18:12 |
| qman__ | AlphaWolf, if you did that, that's not the problem, because that uses a standard init script | 18:13 |
| AlphaWolf | qman__: I _might_ have done that. I'll check if I did. If not, I'll make it do it what way! :) | 18:14 |
| AlphaWolf | Is there any way to not loads these things up and get run an ifconfig? | 18:15 |
| XATRIX | hi guys, i'm trying to install VBox Guest Add... it requires linux kernel headers (dev) | 18:41 |

| tim-ct | hi all I am trying to get my firewall working. Being battling all day. I can see out ie browse the net. My rules are at http://pastebin.ca/2204732. No idea where line 62 and 77 come from... | 19:03 |
| tim-ct | oops i cant browse | 19:03 |
| lordievader | tim-ct: Why not use ufw? | 19:10 |
| lordievader | tim-ct: You have not forgotten to open port 53 (DNS)? | 19:11 |
| DiNgL3 | Hi guys I hope someone may be able to help me with some issues I'm having securing my shared memory | 19:31 |
| tim-ct | lordievader: -A POSTROUTING -s 172.168.2.0/24 -p udp -m udp -m multiport --dports 53,123 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.0.15 | 19:38 |
| DiNgL3 | Any one willing to offer some support please I'm really struggling | 19:38 |
| guntbert_ | !details | DiNgL3 | 19:39 |
| ubottu | DiNgL3: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 19:39 |
| DiNgL3 | im trying to secure some of my websites so have been doing some reading and came across this guide http://www.thefanclub.co.za/node/50 I have created a test lamp server updated to 12.04.1 and started following the guide didn't want to do it on my live sites. I have got to securing the shared memory and im stuck. I add tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0 to the end of /etc/fstab. Once I hav | 19:40 |
| DiNgL3 | done that I reboot and receive errors upon reboot - mount: unknown filesystem type tmpfs mountall: mount /dev/shm [312] terminated with status 32 mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted /dev/shm fsck from until-linux 2.20.1 | 19:40 |
| DiNgL3 | I've been getting ddos and god know what else on two of my site the last few days and really want t get them secured up as best I can | 19:40 |
| DiNgL3 | I'm confident with windows and os x but am really not so good on Linux I'm learning | 19:41 |
| DiNgL3 | I'll be back in a moment or two my daughter is crying | 19:43 |
| DiNgL3 | So has anyone got any ideas I've been in a few channels now and I post what's the problem and I get no response back from anyone | 19:53 |
| DiNgL3 | guntbert_: Do you have any ideas on this one ? | 19:57 |
| guntbert_ | DiNgL3: sorry, no - I never worried about shared memory before - but anyone able to help will need those details anyway | 19:58 |
| DiNgL3 | guntbert_: Ok cheers anyway do you think I don't need to worry so much about the shared memory | 20:00 |
| guntbert_ | DiNgL3: well, as I said I didn't think about that (I don't manage a server with many users), so I cannot say if you should worry - but generally ubuntu isn't regarded too vulnerable, that should apply to web servers too | 20:04 |
| guntbert_ | DiNgL3: can you !pastebin your /etc/fstab? | 20:11 |
| DiNgL3 | Ok give me a moment I'll send it to you | 20:17 |
| guntbert_ | DiNgL3: please put it in a pastebin and tell us the url | 20:17 |
| DiNgL3 | guntbert_: http://pastebin.com/iTebQcpB | 20:26 |
| DiNgL3 | guntbert_: Cheers for your time it's appreciated | 20:26 |
| guntbert_ | DiNgL3: 1) it looks exactly like the line on the web site 2) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StricterDefaults for an explanation of the security problems, I will research a little | 20:31 |
| DiNgL3 | Yeah I've stumbled across that previously too | 20:32 |
| DiNgL3 | Thank you I can't find much online about this | 20:33 |
| guntbert_ | DiNgL3: please pastebin the output of mount too | 20:34 |
| DiNgL3 | Is that the errors I get upon reboot | 20:34 |
| guntbert_ | DiNgL3: yes, the error states that not all entries coud be mounted | 20:36 |
| DiNgL3 | Ok well I can't paste bin that one in because it doesn't load correctly so no ssh I have to get to the box through vsphere so I'll have to take a screen shot | 20:46 |
| guntbert_ | DiNgL3: I have to leave - look at the output of mount yourself - you will probably see a line like none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) - that looks quite sane anyway - and maybe it tells you how to write those lines in /etc/fstab | 20:48 |
| guntbert_ | Good luck! | 20:48 |
