[07:55] Kentos: difficult to know without knowing your problem [07:56] true no need to ask if no ones paying attention though =P [07:57] 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 [07:58] 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 [08:02] hello. anyone got nginx+php working? [08:02] what permissions should the www folder have? [08:04] i've gotten php working before, you have to set certain user/group priviledges, read and write for them [08:04] Good morning [08:05] morning [08:05] lord, have you any webserver experience? [08:05] Hey Kentos, how are you? Some, not very much. What is your problem? [08:07] 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] i see that ginx and php are running as the same user (www-data). i'll try changing some aliases now. [08:08] Kentos: Have you hard coded your wanIP into the links? [08:08] ah, finally oO after tow days of setting it up... [08:09] no, i jut used basic html image/html link [08:09] when i hover over the link, it shows on the bottom of browser the link address as being my IP [08:09] and then the www directory [08:10] kentos, u need to set an a-record on the domain to point to the IP of the server [08:10] Kentos: Can you show the source code of the page? [08:10] for both domain.com and www.domain.com [08:10] !paste | Kentos [08:10] 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. [08:11] the a-record? [08:11] 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] setting an a-record to the IP of your server actually points the domain to your server properly [08:18] ty guys [08:19] it was was a point of confusion for me there === cpg is now known as cpg|away [09:18] hi all!

[17:14] since i can't ssh from everywhere, some nets restrict that [17:17] 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? === n0ts is now known as n0ts_off [17:41] As an alternate question, how can I get the MAC Address if when I type nothing is input? [17:52] AlphaWolf, is this from a clean boot? do you get the login prompt then messages logged to STDOUT? [17:54] 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) [17:55] AlphaWolf, so it sounds like sickbeard is hijacking the boot process. how are you starting sickbeard? command in rc.local? [17:56] (I'm assuming you're running a headless server machine, that's why you're in #ubuntu-server) [17:57] 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?) [18:00] 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] that's what's going on here but it sure sounds similar. [18:01] 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? [18:02] 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? [18:03] (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.) [18:04] AlphaWolf, maybe I don't understand the problem fully. Who is "they" and why do they need the MAC? [18:05] maybe they have a whitelist on the network(s) [18:05] 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 :( [18:08] 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? [18:09] three18ti: I do have physical access, yes. Could it work if I plug the ethernet from the server directly into another computer? [18:12] three18ti: I _think_ I used "sudo update-rc.d sickbeard defaults" to add it to the defaults [18:13] AlphaWolf, if you did that, that's not the problem, because that uses a standard init script [18:14] qman__: I _might_ have done that. I'll check if I did. If not, I'll make it do it what way! :) [18:15] Is there any way to not loads these things up and get run an ifconfig? [18:41] hi guys, i'm trying to install VBox Guest Add... it requires linux kernel headers (dev) [18:42] any idea how can i install em? [18:43] if i got it right, i'm using kernel 3.2.0-30-generic-pae [18:44] XATRIX, apt-get install linux-headers-generic-pae [18:45] ok. let's try [19:03] 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] oops i cant browse [19:10] tim-ct: Why not use ufw? [19:11] tim-ct: You have not forgotten to open port 53 (DNS)? [19:31] Hi guys I hope someone may be able to help me with some issues I'm having securing my shared memory [19:38] 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] Any one willing to offer some support please I'm really struggling [19:39] !details | DiNgL3 [19:39] 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 ..." [19:40] 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] 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] 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 [19:41] I'm confident with windows and os x but am really not so good on Linux I'm learning [19:43] I'll be back in a moment or two my daughter is crying [19:53] 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 [19:57] guntbert_: Do you have any ideas on this one ? [19:58] DiNgL3: sorry, no - I never worried about shared memory before - but anyone able to help will need those details anyway [20:00] guntbert_: Ok cheers anyway do you think I don't need to worry so much about the shared memory [20:04] 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 [20:11] DiNgL3: can you !pastebin your /etc/fstab? [20:17] Ok give me a moment I'll send it to you [20:17] DiNgL3: please put it in a pastebin and tell us the url [20:26] guntbert_: http://pastebin.com/iTebQcpB [20:26] guntbert_: Cheers for your time it's appreciated [20:31] 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 [20:32] Yeah I've stumbled across that previously too [20:33] Thank you I can't find much online about this [20:34] DiNgL3: please pastebin the output of mount too [20:34] Is that the errors I get upon reboot [20:36] DiNgL3: yes, the error states that not all entries coud be mounted [20:46] 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 [20:48] 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] Good luck! === AlanBell is now known as zAlanBell === zAlanBell is now known as AlanBell [21:59] Hey.
