techquilahi there... i'm struggling to remember anything I learned when i did my ccna.. years lapsed and haven't done anything in this arena for a while.. hoping someone can give me some quick advice... i have 3 ubuntu servers: (1 x linode vps, 1 x vps with another provider, and 1 x dev server at my home)  i'm trying to point a subdomain: dev.domain.com to my dev server at home.  static public ip to router and set up port forwarding on m01:52
techquilanp805n-11n so that ports 80 and 8069 point to the private ip of the dev server... still no worky.. anything i'm forgetting?01:52
techquilathe main domain points to my linode.. maybe i use the same dns on my dev server as my linode?01:53
techquilaps.. i don't use irc much so i'm unaware of  a good networking channel.. if someone has a suggestion for a more appropriate channel to ask i'm all ears..01:56

Douughi all. wonder if you can please help ,e.09:26
Douugi deletede nut but i re-install but the enteries in /sbin dont resinstall09:26
Douughow can i get the upsd file back'09:27
RoryDouug: What exactly did you do?10:23
bitnumushi, my system clock is stuck -61seconds10:26
bitnumuscan anyone help with this? i've tried installing NTP etc10:27
mardraumntp will eventually fix it10:28
mardraumit just won't correct 61 seconds in one hit10:29
mardraumif you want to force it, stop the ntp service and use ntpdate to a ntp server.10:29
mardraumthen start the ntp service again10:29
bitnumusyes i did that10:31
bitnumusbut it doesnt work10:31
bitnumusi've left it overnight also, still the same10:31
bitnumususing  'ntpq -p' to check10:31
bitnumusits not 63seconds10:31
bitnumusnow*10:31
bitnumus+ntp4.Housing.Be 128.32.206.55    3 u   42   64  377   74.976                            offset >    -63531.       /      jitter   > 7.65410:32
mardraumyou did what that didn't work?10:32
bitnumusforced update with ntpdate, or so i thought10:32
mardraumtry it again now and paste the output. use pastebin for more than one line10:33
bitnumuswhat server would you suggest?10:33
bitnumusand how can i check which one its currently using?   ntp conf doesnt change from what i can see10:33
mardraumjust use the server you listed above10:34
mardraumby default ubuntu uses the ntp projects servers, so it will change on each startup even perhaps10:35
bitnumusso what command do you suggest i use ?10:35
mardraumstop the ntp service, then ntpdate <name>10:35
bitnumusno change10:38
bitnumusjust tried this that i found online  >   /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian10:38
bitnumusbut it returns this, maybe its related i dont know   >    ntpdate[8008]: step-systime: Operation not permitted10:39
mardraumsudo.10:39
bitnumusnope10:43
bitnumuslol10:43
bitnumusthis might be the underlying issue then ?10:44
bitnumuswhat user is NTP supposed to be run as ?10:44
bitnumusits being run as root it seems10:45
bitnumusjust tried uninstalling NTP, and got this from aptitude      pB10:46
bitnumusbroken package?10:46
bitnumusthink it might be this :)   http://www.gvarisco.com/2011/05/01/openvz-tips-and-tricks-ntpdate-1/10:58

Mosselmanhey guys. I want to quickly see if http requests are coming through to my server. I know there is a tool that allows you to listen on a port and output requests coming in, but I forgot which process.15:08
MosselmanDoes anyone know it?15:09
bekkstail -f apache2.log ? :)15:13
Mosselmanbekks: no apache15:13
Patrickdktcpdump15:13
bekkstail -f whateverserver.log :)15:14
Patrickdkbeeks read first, he said listen on a port15:14
Patrickdkso if you want to answer that way, first explain how to isntall and setup a webserver15:14
Patrickdkwould have thought with the invention of the internet, peoples reading skills might actually go up15:15
* Patrickdk blames the invention of sms15:16
Mosselmanwhile true ; do nc -l 3000 <<<works ; done15:16
Mosselmanthis serves a string on port 8015:16
Mosselmanport 300015:17
MosselmanI mean15:17
Mosselmanobviously `nc -l 80` would work too, but then you don't get feedback in the browser.15:19
MosselmanWhich is fine for most of this level of debuggin.15:19

Distortionhi guys, I just beginning to setup an email server and I have some questions19:29
=== HisaoNakai_ is now known as HisaoNakai
DistortionI have installed postfix and am testing. Telnet localhost 25 works fine and I am able to send email, but telnet myaddress.org 25 just hangs. Any ideas?20:32
jrwrenmany ISPs block incoming port 25. Comcast does. Who is your iSP?20:37
Distortionah20:37
DistortionWell I am running this website on a virtual machine on windows azure20:38
acacsDistortion: service is listening on external interface?20:38
jrwrenDistortion: azure blocks incoming port 25 as well.20:39
Distortionah shit20:39
Distortionwhat is the way around this?20:39
jrwreni'm wrong about azure and port25 anyway.20:40
Distortionoh so it isn't blocked?20:41
jrwrennope.20:42
Distortionhmm20:42
jrwreni'll spin up and instance and try.20:42
Distortionokay sweet20:43
Distortionyou guys are really helpful20:43
Distortionthere are quite a few trolls in #postfix20:43
jrwrenyou are using 3 of my favorite technolgies which I want to succeed and be used, ubuntu, azure, postfix :)20:43
jrwrenDistortion: which ubuntu version are you using?20:46
Distortionjrwren: 12,0420:48
shodan45jrwren: OT, but I'm curious - what's good about azure? I haven't really heard much either way on it20:48
Distortionhaha I get azure free since I registered a startup20:48
Distortionso it is amazing20:48
shodan45"registered a startup"? o_O20:48
shodan45startup as in "omg I have a bajillion dollar idea, let's do this!"?20:49
Distortionhaha20:50
jrwrenshodan45: i'm just glad there is good competition for aws and xen technologies.20:50
Distortionas in you send them your information (website people involved etc) and they review it and give you like 3 years of azure free20:50
jrwrenDistortion: BizSpark?20:50
Distortion$150 a month to spend20:50
Distortionyes bizspark!20:50
jrwrenyes, i've heard of businesses using that, then after 3 years they find out that licenses for the SQL Server and Windows Server which they used costs $50-$100k, which is a huge percent of their margins.20:51
shodan45yeah, $150 tends to not go very far with MS software... no idea what they charge normally for azure20:52
Distortionjrwren: I can imaging -- however I am not using any windows software, just their VM.20:53
shodan45jrwren: aws & xen? I've never understood why people pay so much for aws, as for xen - I use kvm :D20:53
shodan45jrwren: still, always good to know about free stuff :)20:54
DistortionI am only putting up an idea so that when I apply for jobs next year I have something to show20:54
jrwrenshodan45: we use openstack and kvm too, and I am looking foward to openstack and lxc. Still, I appreciate teh hyperV competition20:55
Distortionjrwren:  do you have any idea why I cant access port 25?20:57
shodan45anyone here install a mythtv backend on an existing (headless) server install? #ubuntu-mythtv is pretty dead on the weekends :(20:57
jrwrenDistortion: only thing I can think of is firewall rule. azure calls them endpoints20:57
Distortionnot ufw, but something through their system?20:58
jrwrenyes20:58
jrwrenlike ec2 security groups20:58
Distortionah i see20:58
Distortionthank you20:58
jrwrendid it work?21:02
DistortionI'm not sure21:04
DistortionI don't have access to the account that hosts the VM21:04
DistortionI just have sudo access to the server, not access to my friend's azure account21:04
DistortionI will try it later when he is available21:05

DistortionNo off to learn the basics of email servers21:15
Distortionnow*21:15
shodan45Distortion: basics of email servers=let someone else do it21:17
Distortionhaha21:17
shodan45(no, I'm not kidding... email is a huge PITA)21:17
DistortionI only need really simple things so it isn't that bad21:18
Distortion1 domain21:18
Distortion3 email addresses21:18
shodan45incoming or just outgoing?21:18
Distortionboth and I;m setting up imap so I can use gmail with it21:18
Distortionbut it seems okay so far21:19
shodan45Distortion: good luck. I learned long ago that self hosting email just isn't worth it. :/21:19
Distortionya…I may end up just coughing up some money21:19
Distortionthanks for the tip though21:19
shodan45or if you don't mind google, they might still host email for free (not sure... they used to)21:20
Distortionoh I didnt know that actually21:20
Distortion(there seems to be a bit of google hate around these parts )21:20
shodan45yeah, "google apps for your domain" I think21:20
shodan45I don't know if they charge now21:21
Distortionit looks like it is no longer free21:23
DistortionI kind of enjoy learning new things though so this is fine21:23
Distortionby kind of, I mean I do enjoy learning new things21:23
