[00:38] Quick question, is the default httpd.conf for apache2 supposed to be blank? [00:41] derp, apache2.conf :P [00:42] guzzlefry: yes [00:42] oh you foud it :) [01:28] any chance of advice on troublesooting vncserver on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit server? === HiddenDj- is now known as HiddenDjinn [03:52] my installation failed on "grub install on hardisk step".. i've done this # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt then # grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda".. finished and no error reported [03:53] but when i reboot.. i only get "grub> " [05:31] Hey all — I'm trying to get a handle on permissions and file ownership for my web server. Any of you care to offer some guidance? [05:57] <_root_> hello [05:57] Hey all — I'm trying to get a handle on permissions and file ownership for my web server. Any of you care to offer some guidance? [05:58] What specifically do you need help with? [05:58] <_root_> for these PHP scripts like SMF; they ask in various times to access the htdocs via FTP to change the file permissions; For this Job should I install an FTP server or Just tweak my ssh configurations? [06:03] I need to get a handle on file permissions and ownership. The default install of ubuntu assigned /var/www/ to root:root. I set up new users, gave them sudo capabilities, and now when we try to sftp in (it works) we don't have permission to write to the web directory [06:04] I'd like to know what steps I must take to get everything locked down, secure, and safe, starting with enabling the users write permissions in the /var/www/ directory when sftping in [06:04] <_root_> maccam_: it seems more like the problem with your sshd config file [06:05] <_root_> maccam_: http://blog.srmklive.com/2013/04/24/how-to-setup-sftp-server-ftp-over-ssh-in-ubuntu/ [06:06] <_root_> maccam_: oh you want to make an ftp server ok [06:11] we can sftp in. we were doing it as root just fine, but I'd much rather only allow users to sftp in as themselves [06:12] _root_ noting against root ;) [06:46] Hello friends, is it possible to find if somebody has tried logging into the server via Live CD? or single user mode? [06:47] I tried "last reboot|less" and it says that few days back somebody had restarted the server. I want to know if he was successful in logging in by any means [06:47] I have ssh access to it and server is located at remote place [06:48] maccam_: sudo just lets users execute things as root when they call the command. You don't want that when using sftp anyway, too easy to make a big mistake. [06:49] maccam_: What I do is create a group called developers and add the users to that. Then set whatever directories to be owned by the developer group, and also add write permissions for group owner. [06:53] is it possible to find if somebody has tried logging into the server via Live CD? or single user mode? [06:54] I checked "last reboot|less" and it says that few days back somebody had restarted the remote server. I want to know if he was successful in logging in by any means [07:23] i want to point http://mydomain.com to localhost in the hosts file. how do i do this? [07:25] what is the correct syntax? === freeflying_away is now known as freeflying === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away === freeflying_away is now known as freeflying === JanC_ is now known as JanC === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away === freeflying_away is now known as freeflying === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away === freeflying_away is now known as freeflying === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away === rainbowdash` is now known as Mapley === Mapley is now known as rainbowdash` [15:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6464264/ === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk [18:33] I am trying to install ModSecurity in 13.10 server, but i am missing mods-available/mod-security.conf in apache directory. Does anyone have any experience with this? [18:39] geoffmcc: How did you install ModSecurity? [18:43] Rory: apt-get install libapache-mod-security [18:44] geoffmcc: Why do you think the config file should be in mods-available? [18:45] geoffmcc: Do you have anything in /etc/modsecurity ? [18:45] Rory: because i need to sudo a2enmod mod-security [18:47] geoffmcc: Can you please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get purge libapache-mod-security && sudo apt-get install libapache-mod-security" [18:47] !paste [18:47] 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. [18:50] Rory: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6465032/ [18:52] Rory: I should also say, I purged it prior to you asking to do it that why says not installed [18:57] geoffmcc: OK now can you do your a2enmod ? [18:58] Rory: ERROR: Module mod-security does not exist! [18:58] Rory: everything i read says it should be there.. I think i might try to git it rather than apt-get [18:59] geoffmcc: Does the file mod-security.conf exist in /etc/apache2/conf.d ? [18:59] geoffmcc: If it does, you could try moving it out of there into /etc/apache2/mods-available/ [19:00] Rory: Yeah, i read that somewhere but /etc/apache2/conf.d: No such file or directory [19:00] geoffmcc: Can you do "sudo updatedb && locate mod-security.conf" [19:01] Rory: No results.... I think something changed from 12.04 to 13.10 [19:02] Rory: I should probably run 12.04 anyways until the next LTS so maybe i will start again. I am working with a fresh install right now so it wont take me long [19:03] I'd go with 12.04 probably [19:03] That's what I use on servers [19:04] Rory: Yeah, i started to get it and then thought i would check out the latest as i have been away for a while. Thanks for trying though [21:29] hallyn_: around by any chance? [22:34] rbasak: hey [22:35] rbasak: I'm not sure they are dupes; since one is talking about running dhcpd *in* the container, the other is talking about the containers own ability to get connectivity. === Guest66951 is now known as Mapley
