[00:00] <TimR> can anybody tell me why .htaccess is not working under 12.04.2 lts?
[00:01] <hitsujiTMO> TimR, what is your vhost config
[00:01] <TimR> what you mean?
[00:02] <hitsujiTMO> the virtualhost config for apache that the .htaccess file is loaded for
[00:02] <crimsonmane> hitsujiTMO: using full path /usr/bin/supybot still does not load it
[00:02] <crimsonmane> hitsujiTMO: is there a spot online I can read the different start on options?
[00:03] <TimR> I dont think there is one even loaded
[00:03] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: echo $PATH   check each for the bin
[00:04] <crimsonmane> /usr/bin is present
[00:04] <crimsonmane> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[00:05] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ apendices 28.1
[00:06] <TimR> ?
[00:06] <crimsonmane> thanks. i looked up the cookbook earlier and the page said it had not been created yet
[00:07] <hitsujiTMO> timR your virtualhosts are configured in /etc/apache2/sites-available
[00:07] <TimR> yes it is hitsujiTMO
[00:08] <crimsonmane> hitsujiTMO: what other options can i use other than "pre-start" ?
[00:08] <hitsujiTMO> what is the vhost config for the vhost that your having the issue with the .htaccess
[00:09] <TimR> well when I go to staff.domain.com I dont get an popup asking for username and password
[00:10] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: chapter 6.1 - Process Definitions
[00:12] <hitsujiTMO> TimR, the option in the vhost can effect how the .htaccess is interpreted, i'm asking to see the actual config in question that effects the .htaccess. you can sanitise personal info
[00:13] <TimR> well I can pastbin it if you want me 2
[00:13] <hitsujiTMO> plz
[00:15] <TimR> http://pastebin.com/bjuyqpk4
[00:15] <hitsujiTMO> AllowOverride None    is your problem
[00:15] <TimR> ok
[00:15] <TimR> but if I switch it to ALL i get internal error 500
[00:17] <hitsujiTMO> 500 may mean theres an error in the .htaccess ... check the options here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride
[00:18] <TimR> alright thanks hitsujiTMO I got it to work
[00:18] <hitsujiTMO> np
[00:23] <noobster> So I built a new 12.04 server and it does the same thing, I can copy about 2.3GB into transferring a 6GB file and the NFS freezes. The 2.3GB file is on the NFS server, and the ISO mount is still alive on the ESXi server so I dont think its the server.. Any ideas??
[00:24] <noobster> maybe I should try NFSv3
[00:45] <noobster> nfsvers=3 fixed my errors! no more dismount now that I am not using NFSv4
[00:47] <crimsonmane> I am having issue getting something to run on boot, prior to logging in. This is the /etc/init/ file contents: http://dpaste.com/1415814/
[00:49] <James_Epp> noobster: How much experience do you have with NFS? I've been having a troubling issue.
[00:50] <noobster> James_Epp: a little, whats your issue??
[00:50] <James_Epp> noobster: I'm in the process of trying to boot the ubuntu live discs over a network using nfs-kernel-server. Under my /etc/exports I have the following, however when clients boot they continue to give the error message "mount: Protocol not supported". http://paste.ubuntu.com/6233647/
[00:50] <James_Epp> But I can manually connect to the nfs share using the 'JFTP' program.
[00:53] <James_Epp> here is a screenie. http://imgur.com/IIlH0LI
[01:00] <noobster> James_Epp: I have not used ubuntu to pxe boot before, but if I recall you have to have tftp boot server, pxe bootloaded, dhcpd & no_squash_root all happy before it will work.
[01:00] <noobster> James_Epp: help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto#Creating_your_NFS_installation
[01:00] <James_Epp> noobster: PXE and DHCP are perfect.
[01:01] <James_Epp> noobster: What does the no_squash_root option do? How does it differ from all_squash ?
[01:01] <noobster> James_Epp: then you have to install to the NFS like it is a hard drive
[01:01] <James_Epp> noobster: Not like that, I mean actually booting it as if there were a disc in the client machine.
[01:02] <James_Epp> Like, turn on machine, pxe boot, choose ubuntu, and the "live disc" gets pulled down for use.
[01:03] <James_Epp> noobster: Basically what is described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro . However, their custom nfs export table doesn't work either :/
[01:03] <noobster> hmm I have not done that, you might need to extract the live cd onto the NFS but this is a little out of my field..
[01:06] <James_Epp> noobster: I already have. I have no clue what is happening. I followed several different guides' suggestions for the options in this table. None of them resolve the issue.
[01:06] <noobster> maybe bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1177557
[01:07] <noobster> not ubuntu but this guy is having what looks like the same issue
[01:07] <noobster> James_Epp: lets jump to PM so we don't get this channel off topic?
[01:08] <James_Epp> noobster: Sure
[01:09] <crimsonmane> I am having issue getting something to run on boot, prior to logging in. This is the /etc/init/ file contents: http://dpaste.com/1415814/

[02:16] <gdos> is it possible to use symbolic links (either hard or soft) to point from /var/www/doc (http://localhost/doc) to file://localhost/usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html ...???
[02:17] <pmatulis_> gdos: try it and let us know
[02:17] <gdos> pmatulis_ how?
[03:15] <gdos> add "FollowSymLinks" as an option for your DocumentRoot
[03:16] <gdos> ersi, how do i add "FollowSymLinks" as an option for my DocumentRoot under apache2?
[03:26] <linocisco> hi all
[03:27] <linocisco> i want to setup ubuntu server (File/Email/Proxy) for windows clients . instead of flash player, java updates on each windows clients, I want ubuntu server only download them and issue to each clients to reduce multiple download
[04:16] <linocisco> hello all
[05:19] <ersi> gdos: Why'd you ask me?
[05:20] <gdos> ersi, that should've been 'er, how do i add "FollowSymLinks" as an option for my DocumentRoot under apache2?'
[05:21] <ersi> Ah, alright. I got quite suprised :-)
[05:22] <ersi> Were you able to add FollowSymLinks by the way? You need to specify a Options line with it under the document root block definition.
[05:22] <gdos> ersi: no i can't figure out where to add it?
[05:32] <ersi> gdos: Open up /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and find a <Directory /> block
[05:32] <gdos> ok.
[05:33] <ersi> If there isn't a line that starts with 'Options', add one like "Options FollowSymLinks" (and other options if you'd like more, otherwise, skip that) and then give apache2 a restart/reload
[05:41] <gdos> ersi: how do i restart/reload apache2
[05:42] <ersi> gdos: "service apache2 restart"
[05:43] <gdos> ersi: thank you. :)
[05:44] <gdos> ersi: it is already there but what is allow over-ride? that a security risk?
[05:45] <ersi> "When the server finds an .htaccess file (as specified by AccessFileName) it needs to know which directives declared in that file can override earlier configuration directives."
[05:45] <ersi> That's what AllowOverride does
[05:50] <gdos> oh. ok. gotcha.
[07:12] <rbasak> jamespage: morning o/
[07:12] <rbasak> jamespage: for when you get in: I'm just starting on backporting that fix to dpkg for the cloud-tools pocket now.
[07:13] <jamespage> rbasak, excellent - start @0900 ish for me today
[07:16] <rbasak> OK
[11:20] <jamespage> adam_g, figured out that rabbitmq-server issue - hostname was resolving to multiple ip addresses
[12:18] <Rodge> Hi folks! I'm wondering about using BTSync on an Amazon EC2 cloud instead of Amazon S3 (kind of a network disk). Any disadvantages with that (on a production cloud)?
[12:19] <Rodge> (and of course, the EC2s run Ubuntu Server (12.04))
[12:37] <hallyn> zul: (qa-regression-tests are running against your libvirt-testing ppa)
[13:22] <hallyn> zul: the same four failures (which are due to kernel apparmor bug).  otherwise that libvirt package is a-ok - thx
[13:35] <esde> I've got ubuntu 12.04 setup as a remote backup for my backed up media. I'd like to be able to view the media from a wide range of internet enabled devices (smartphones and web browsers). What's the best way to do this? I have in mind something 'tube-like', that will "serve" up any videos in a certain directory, hopefully, lol
[13:36] <mardraum> a web server?
[13:38] <esde> It's already configured as such, LAMP (Percona and php5-fpm)
[13:39] <esde> i could only find like plex and packages for sharing to consoles, ios, android devices. i'd like something that relies more on a browser than a specific sharing protocol like dlna
[13:40] <mardraum> I don't think your question has much to do with ubuntu server
[13:41] <mardraum> go and find the software you want to run
[13:41] <mardraum> then work out how to run it.
[13:41] <esde> i was checking in hopes another user has faced the same issue and could offer first hand advice from their own experience
[13:42] <esde> thanks for replying and have a great day
[14:55] <Anomie_work> I'm trying to follow this guide to test if my postfix is working but the 'mail' command no longer works in 12.10 apparantly - does anyone know if there's a replacement? http://rtcamp.com/tutorials/mail/postfix-debugging/
[14:58] <maxb> mail works fine for me
[14:59] <Anomie_work> maxb: Are you running 12.10?
[14:59] <Anomie_work> maxb: It's not in the package list; http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/amd64/mailutils/filelist
[15:00] <maxb> I'm running 13.10
[15:01] <maxb> I'm using the version from the bsd-mailx package
[15:01] <Anomie_work> maxb: Thanks, got it working now :)
[15:02] <sandprickle> I'm having the worst time of Nginx/php5-fpm.  atm I'm getting: *12 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream
[15:02] <maxb> Anomie_work: Alternative versions appear to exist in 'mailutils' and 'heirloom-mailx'
[15:23] <hallyn> ahs3: i'm still setting up a test, but looks like we'll want something like http://people.canonical.com/~serge/netcf-wheezy.debdiff in wheezy
[15:28] <ahs3> hallyn: k.  easy enough to get into sid and let migrate -- or is it critical to wheezy alone?
[15:34] <hallyn> ahs3: it's only valid for wheezy, the others have the fix through a newer netcf version
[15:36] <hallyn> ahs3: does that mean it's not really worth pushing?
[15:37] <ahs3> hallyn: hrm.  is netcf useless without it?  then yes.  is it slightly annoying?  maybe not.
[15:38] <hallyn> ahs3: I suspect it's mindly annoying
[15:38] <hallyn> well, depends on your existing network infrastructure I guess
[15:38] <ahs3> hallyn: heh.  i like that: "mindly annoying" :)
[15:38] <hallyn> huh.  didn't realize i'd typed that :)
[15:40] <ahs3> so if it's pretty minor, it may be okay to just let it migrate normally.  if it was seriously broken, then yeah, we'd want to push it to wheezy
[15:44] <hallyn> ahs3: so it in theory would eventually hit wheezy from sid?
[15:44] <hallyn> ahs3: of course it's hung up on the same bunch of stuff as qemu and libvirt
[15:45] <hallyn> ok, i'll send an email saying bug is valid but we'll wait for the fix to migrate from sid.
[15:46] <ahs3> ah.  yeah, if it's connected to a bunch of other things like that, best to let it settle down first
[15:46] <hallyn> ahs3: ok, thanks - ttyl
[15:48] <ahs3> hallyn: np.  cya.
[17:01] <hallyn> qemu-img create -f rbd rbd:pool/vm1 10G
[17:01] <hallyn> kvm -m 512 -drive format=rbd,file=rbd:pool/vm1 -cdrom raring.iso -boot d
[17:01] <hallyn> feh.
[17:01] <hallyn> sorry
[17:11] <tasslehoff> it takes 5-6 second from I hit enter 'ssh myserver' until I'm logged in (public key auth). Any idea what can cause the delay?
[17:26] <zerick> tasslehoff, maybe some DNS search enabled entry ?
[17:35] <parallel21> If I wanted to use apt-get to install nginx but wanted to override it's install path, how might I do that?
[17:38] <zerick> parallel21,  ovewrite the install path ? you mean, overwrite the /etc dir  ?
[17:38] <parallel21> no
[17:39] <zerick> so ?
[17:39] <parallel21> choose where nginx get installed, so rather /etc/nginx would change to /opt/nginx
[17:40] <zerick> parallel21, not possible AFAIK, only possible when compiling
[17:41] <parallel21> shucks
[17:41] <zerick> You can try this, maybe works  for you http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/install-with-apt-get-in-other-path-386763/
[17:42] <parallel21> Yeah, I'll look at that. Looks like if I can get the deb file before install I can modify flags
[19:24] <tasslehoff> zerick: perhaps. I tried adding "UseDNS no" to my sshd_config, but after that I could not connect through ssh at all..
[19:34] <savid> Does logrotate automatically rotate all *.log files in /var/log?
[19:34] <savid> Or does there need to be explicit definitions for each log?
[19:38] <soren> savid: I don't think there's a catch-all configuration for logrotate.
[19:38] <soren> savid: ...and logrotate doesn't just do it on its own. There would need to be a config file telling it to do so.
