ewookMarkus84: I think that should contain an answer.00:00
ewookMarkus84: either way, it's a matter of the need to use qoutes.00:01
Markus84ewook: thanks, hm, this confuses me. I tried this with the quotes, but no change. Still doing something wront. Just read about { script.sh parameter }00:01
Markus84ewook: don't know what this does, but I'll give it a shot :)00:02
ewookMarkus84: I don't know exactly how cron interpets " , ' , ` . And I cannot recall how I do it :p.00:03
Markus84ewook: thanks. This is so strange. Can't pass that one stupid parameter. Calling the script without any parameter just works fine. Meh00:05
ewookMarkus84: rework the script to if $1 = ' ' , $1 = whatever ? :p00:06

Markus84ewook: finally. Got it. If this is somehow interesting for the log: -> * * * * * myscript.sh "parameter" <- in crontab and setting PATH in my script done the job00:10

wo0fmy 13.10 installed on KVM is running the generic kernel (unlike the LTS, which runs with a 'virtual' kernel) is this normal?03:46
sarnoldwo0f: you can install the linux-image-virtual package if you'd rather have the 'virtual' variant; I can't recall what options are changed though, it may or may not be worthwhile if you only have a few instances running.03:48

SiliconGHello all -- I am trying to get apache 2.4.7 installed and running -03:55
SiliconGI built it from source03:55
SiliconGit is installed in the /opt/httpd/ directory03:56
SiliconGwhen I try to start it I am getting an error03:56
SiliconGInvalid command 'WSGIScriptAlias', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration03:56
SiliconGI have determined that it means mod-wsgi is not installed -- I am struggling here03:58
sarnoldSiliconG: if you type 'which apachectl' do you get the path to the version you recently installed? does 'apachectl configtest' report the path to the configuration file that is being used?03:58
sarnoldSiliconG: I'm curious if the compiled apache is using e.g. config files in /etc/ or in /opt/ -- it is well worth finding out for sure which configuration file is being loaded :)03:59
SiliconGwell when I do which apachectl it shows the one that is installed in the /usr/sbin/apachectl folder03:59
SiliconGit is using the config file in /opt/03:59
sarnoldSiliconG: okay, cool; you can find the 'WSGIScriptAlias' command in your config file and remove it, if you don't want wsgi support04:00
SiliconGI do want support -- I want to have it included04:01
sarnoldaha; do you need to compile your apache with a specific ./configure --with-wsgi-support or similar command line option?04:02
SiliconGso I do have to recompile04:03
SiliconGthat sucks04:03
sarnoldif you're lucky their makefiles will only recompile what's necessary..04:04
SiliconGso I am a bit new to apache 2.4.7 -- what are the most common lamp stack modules that are needed04:04
SiliconGsarnold:  are you running 2.4.7?04:13
SiliconGI am wondering if there is a base starting point of modules04:13
sarnoldSiliconG: sorry, no, I tend to use nginx for my own servers, I find the syntax a little less annoying.04:14
sarnoldSiliconG: since I've done battle with apache configuration before, I often go hunting down relevant urls for folks in the apache documentation, that can be baffling for first-time users..04:14
SiliconGgot it - thanks04:15
sarnoldSiliconG: usually your application will need e.g. fastcgi or RACK or mod_php and you'll just have to install whatevre it is the application needs..04:15
SiliconGI need mod_php also -- but that doesnt have to be included when building from source does it?04:16
sarnoldtrying to plan for the common case up front will probably be enough to drive someone insane :) that gets you the moral equivalent of distro-packages, of course, they've got to be prepared to handle 95% of what users need...04:16
sarnoldI know some of the modules can be built after-the-fact, if you've got the headers around, but I don't know details there. sorry.04:17

SiliconGsarnold: this is stupid the documentation on apache sucks so bad04:58
SiliconGI cant get the configuration to work04:58
SiliconGwhere the hell do they list what the options are so I can see what I can add to get this working04:58
SiliconGthere is no mod_wsgi anywhere in the httpd.conf04:59
SiliconGthis sucks05:00

TJ-triven: which version of Ubuntu are you working with?15:10
TJ-triven: That guide is 4 years old and somewhat out-of-date. I'd suggest you work from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding15:11
trivenI just downloaded ubuntu lts server iso from website .I  think its the latest one.15:11
TJ-triven: I use bonding myself and the online guide is accurate15:11
trivenOkay ..:)15:11

oblivianAnyone using postfix and dovecot on separate servers?15:21
=== fire is now known as Guest93338
pmatulisoblivian: sounds pretty standard15:47
oblivianThought so, but what it the general approach, does Postfix deliver to a Dovecot server or does the Dovecot server fetch from the Postfix server?15:58
=== Guest55578 is now known as kermit
pmatulisoblivian: the former16:12
TJ-oblivian: Postfix delivers to mailboxes; Dovecot reads mailboxes, it is a 3-step process. The mailboxes can be read by many mail clients16:57
oblivianYes, I know. And it is easy to set up as long as everything is one the same host. I am wondering how Postfix delivers to mailboxes on remote servers.17:16
bekksoblivian: That mechanism is called SMTP.17:17
oblivianWell, here's my case. I need to set up a postfix server on server a which will be the MX for the domain, but all the actual mailbozxes (maildir) will be on a separate server in a different country. How to I deliver the emails received on the MX server (postfix) to the other server (dovecot). Are you saying I will have to use Postfix (SMTP) on both servers?17:21
TJ-oblivian: Yes. The public SMTP will need to remote-relay to the private server's Postfix instance which will deliver to the local mailboxes17:23
oblivianI.e. Server A (MX) Postfix, Server B Postfix/Dovecot?17:23
oblivianOK, thanks that answers my question perfectly. Tnx.17:25

catalase_hello18:40
catalase_i am attempting to install ubuntu server from usb stick18:40
catalase_i copied the contents of the .iso to the usb stick18:40
catalase_but there is no operating system found apparently lol18:40
JanCcatalase_: there is info on the download page about how to properly create an install stick...18:52
catalase_can you please direct me to a page without using that shitty pendrive installer18:53
JanCwhat's wrong with the "shitty pendrive installer"?18:53
catalase_it has a penguin on it18:53
JanCsorry, but I can't help with removing penguins18:55
shaunoI don't think you're meant to copy the *contents* of the iso.  you just write it directly to the device18:56
jpdscatalase_: Have you tried just using dd? There's a reason the images are hybird ISOs.19:01
