[00:32] I'm running ownCloud on ubuntu 12.04 and am having an issue with uploads larger than just over 800 MB. I have set .htaccess and setting in ownCloud to allow larger uploads. The problem is that when a file reaches around 820 MB or so, which is stored in /tmp, it stops getting larger, then a new tmp file is created. [00:33] the "upload" continues, enlarging the next tmp file. This continues until the root partition is full. [00:33] the ownCloud works is that uploads go to /tmp first, then when its completed, the file moved the the ownCloud data directory. [00:34] files less than 800 MB are fine. [00:35] on user with a similar issue said that php 5.3 on ubuntu 12.04 causes this kind of problem: http://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3124 [00:35] Limy354: many applications can use a TMP or TMPDIR environment variable to tell them what to use instead of /tmp -- you might be able to set this for ownclowd to use the same filesystem as the destination data [00:36] oh jeeze, that'd be sad if true.. [00:36] everyone else had their 2gb teething troubles back in 2001 or something. [00:36] sarnold, that's something I'd like to do to prevent so much writing to root partition, but I'm hoping the file size limit doesn't continue if tmp is somewhere else. [00:38] and like I said, the limit I'm experiencing is just over 800 MB. I don't know why my limit is different. [00:42] trying a large upload now, and the limit is about to be reached so I can post what it is [00:45] oh wow it works now [00:45] well I'll be... [00:46] *sigh* PHP documentation is amazingly poor sometimes http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.files.php [00:46] no more problem now. I'll look into this more but the problem is gone. [00:49] there's a bunch of links in php.ini that are usually more useful, eg at PHP will accept. [00:49] ;ugh [00:49] Limy354: you'll want to set the php variable upload_tmp_dir to use your destination filesystem: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-tmp-dir [00:49] http://php.net/post-max-size [00:50] lol I spoke too soon [00:50] the problem is back [00:50] it stopped at 926 MB and it's now creating a new temp file [00:50] "Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size." [00:50] might as well stick a big giant FAIL sticker on that :) hehe [00:50] Limy354: multiple files might not be a problem [00:50] Limy354: it's only a problem if it fails to reconstruct a single file in the destination [00:51] sarnold, oh ok so I'll wait for it to finish and see what happens. [00:51] Limy354: yeah [00:51] it's a 1GB file [00:52] the second one is already at 188 MB [00:52] good, close.. [00:54] sarnold, it's still growing. I think it's going to go all the way to just over 900 MB like the last one. It's over 250 MB now. [00:54] Limy354: o_O [00:54] I'll try what you posted above. [00:54] with the post max size === arrrghhh is now known as arrrghhhAWAY [03:48] if i want to create a home server should i go for ubuntu server or ubuntu 13.04 ? [06:52] Greetings. [06:54] I'm setting up Ubuntu Server as a Xen guest in another Ubuntu server. The host is already configured as a bridge, static IP address, and it's reachable in the network. The guest is configured as 127.0.0.1/8 but I'm not sure about what should be the gateway; can't finish the installation since mirrors aren't reacahble. What should be the correct gateway? Thanks in advance. [06:55] (I recognize that 127.0.0.1 may be wrong as well -- not sure about how net configuration inside the VM.)

[11:02] hello everyone [11:02] i've got a question regarding the security of ubuntu-server [11:03] or rather, i have a couple of questions [11:03] hitsujiTMO hello :) [11:03] hey [11:03] hitsujiTMO i managed to get the thing working ok... [11:03] cool [11:04] connected my server with a cable to a wifi router [11:04] and connected to wifi with my client pc [11:04] without defining a gateway, so it doesn't screw with my internet connection [11:04] no more travelling arounf eu for you [11:04] static ip [11:04] :D [11:04] yes! :D [11:04] i have a new question [11:04] if you explain it to me in simple words.... [11:05] go ahead [11:05] why is it better to have a separate PC as a firewall for my server instead of just running a FW application on it? [11:06] i don't have another old pc to use as a firewall.... so i'm thinking of installing a fw on my server.... which one would you suggest? is "ufw" good? [11:06] thats not my area of expertise i'm afraid [11:06] yes i just use ufw [11:06] ok [11:06] thanks, i'll get on with the config right now [11:07] i've read somewhere on the net that it is a good idea to change the ssh port [11:07] from the default 22 to smth else [11:07] (4 security reasons) [11:07] i can be [11:07] the main thing is to use key auth [11:08] i would host a webpage and nothing else....so closing all ports except 80 and (22) is ok? [11:08] what do you mean by that? key auth? [11:08] the norm is to set up a vpn and only allow ssh from that [11:08] yes ok... [11:08] or just allow it from my newly established local network [11:09] a static ip...or mac address [11:09] ssh key authentication [11:09] local...so everyone else would get connection refused [11:09] i had it like this before....so only from certain computers i could connect [11:09] you use a private public key pair for login to ssh [11:10] yes blocking net is good for ssh but, mean you can't ssh from outside [11:10] yes [11:10] i don't quite understand the private public key pair.... [11:10] i have a password for connecting via ssh [11:10] a strong password [11:10] is that not enough? [11:11] client os are you using ? windows ? linux? [11:11] linux [11:11] ubuntu [11:11] private pubkey gen is really easy then [11:12] what is that for anyway? [11:12] care to explain a little? :P [11:13] your using a much stronger token to identify yourself to the server ... with it ssh ing also becomes transparent [11:13] you don't even get asked for any details [11:14] with that you can disable password auth, which thwarts 99.9% of ssh attacks in the first place (most just attempt to brute force passwords) [11:15] ok... [11:16] does that mean connecting to the server in a different way? or do i still do "ssh username@ip" [11:16] still the same [11:17] open terminal and i'll get you started [11:17] will you guide me here or in pvt? [11:17] :) [11:18] in pvt [12:21] zul, ditto for https://code.launchpad.net/~james-page/neutron/havana-rc2/+merge/190795 [12:24] zul, and https://code.launchpad.net/~james-page/heat/havana-rc2/+merge/190796 [12:29] zul, and nova - https://code.launchpad.net/~james-page/nova/havana-rc2/+merge/190797 [12:45] zul: nova failing tests - will investigate later === mibofra is now known as mibofra_smart [13:54] jamespage: this regression? https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/7161c62c22ebe609ecaf7e01d2feae473d01495a [14:11] Anyone got advise on what type of ftp-server i should install and why I should choose that one? [14:15] Werring: How about one of the most commonly used ones, called "vsftpd"? [14:17] i am only able to write with 18 mbyte/s via netatalk on my raid 5. however i can write with 222 mbyte/s if i do it local. are there some limits? gigabit ethernet is available [14:19] i am using a realtek rtl8111/8168/8411 or a realtek rtl8169. the 8168 was also on the previous motherboard and i did not recognize any problems there [14:20] Werring does it have to be ftp and not sftp? [14:23] ftp is preferred since i need to hook it up to an existing service that does not have sftp support [14:25] hello. On my Linux Ubuntu-server, for a specific user (other users are fine) I get a "Input/output error" when she does `ls`. Here the relevant part of syslog http://bpaste.net/show/QYyRyZEbbL7vTHP9Z8d9/ . [14:25] Any clue on what is going on? [14:25] What would be a commonly available linux tool to validate the hypothesis that the integrity of my hdd is compromised? [14:26] You don't do that "after the fact". You need to prepare that prior to getting hacked AFAIK. [14:27] Also, it looks like your harddrive is dying on you - if that's what you meant by "integrity of hdd". [14:30] ersi: yes, I mean, that all blocks are OK. No hacking here, just me burning my own kitchen I guess [14:31] ersi: the tool I am looking for is for assess the damages I have on my hdd, and possibly fix some. [14:32] ggherdov: I'd def checkout doing some SMART diagnostics on it. It might tell you how many unrecoverable read errors you've had and such.
