[00:00] <ewook> Markus84: I think that should contain an answer.
[00:01] <ewook> Markus84: either way, it's a matter of the need to use qoutes.
[00:01] <Markus84> ewook: thanks, hm, this confuses me. I tried this with the quotes, but no change. Still doing something wront. Just read about { script.sh parameter }
[00:02] <Markus84> ewook: don't know what this does, but I'll give it a shot :)
[00:03] <ewook> Markus84: I don't know exactly how cron interpets " , ' , ` . And I cannot recall how I do it :p.
[00:05] <Markus84> ewook: thanks. This is so strange. Can't pass that one stupid parameter. Calling the script without any parameter just works fine. Meh
[00:06] <ewook> Markus84: rework the script to if $1 = ' ' , $1 = whatever ? :p

[00:10] <Markus84> ewook: finally. Got it. If this is somehow interesting for the log: -> * * * * * myscript.sh "parameter" <- in crontab and setting PATH in my script done the job

[03:46] <wo0f> my 13.10 installed on KVM is running the generic kernel (unlike the LTS, which runs with a 'virtual' kernel) is this normal?
[03:48] <sarnold> wo0f: 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.

[03:55] <SiliconG> Hello all -- I am trying to get apache 2.4.7 installed and running -
[03:55] <SiliconG> I built it from source
[03:56] <SiliconG> it is installed in the /opt/httpd/ directory
[03:56] <SiliconG> when I try to start it I am getting an error
[03:56] <SiliconG> Invalid command 'WSGIScriptAlias', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
[03:58] <SiliconG> I have determined that it means mod-wsgi is not installed -- I am struggling here
[03:58] <sarnold> SiliconG: 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?
[03:59] <sarnold> SiliconG: 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] <SiliconG> well when I do which apachectl it shows the one that is installed in the /usr/sbin/apachectl folder
[03:59] <SiliconG> it is using the config file in /opt/
[04:00] <sarnold> SiliconG: okay, cool; you can find the 'WSGIScriptAlias' command in your config file and remove it, if you don't want wsgi support
[04:01] <SiliconG> I do want support -- I want to have it included
[04:02] <sarnold> aha; do you need to compile your apache with a specific ./configure --with-wsgi-support or similar command line option?
[04:03] <SiliconG> so I do have to recompile
[04:03] <SiliconG> that sucks
[04:04] <sarnold> if you're lucky their makefiles will only recompile what's necessary..
[04:04] <SiliconG> so I am a bit new to apache 2.4.7 -- what are the most common lamp stack modules that are needed
[04:13] <SiliconG> sarnold:  are you running 2.4.7?
[04:13] <SiliconG> I am wondering if there is a base starting point of modules
[04:14] <sarnold> SiliconG: sorry, no, I tend to use nginx for my own servers, I find the syntax a little less annoying.
[04:14] <sarnold> SiliconG: 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..
[04:15] <SiliconG> got it - thanks
[04:15] <sarnold> SiliconG: 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..
[04:16] <SiliconG> I need mod_php also -- but that doesnt have to be included when building from source does it?
[04:16] <sarnold> trying 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...
[04:17] <sarnold> I 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.

[04:58] <SiliconG> sarnold: this is stupid the documentation on apache sucks so bad
[04:58] <SiliconG> I cant get the configuration to work
[04:58] <SiliconG> where the hell do they list what the options are so I can see what I can add to get this working
[04:59] <SiliconG> there is no mod_wsgi anywhere in the httpd.conf
[05:00] <SiliconG> this sucks

[15:06] <TJ-> "25" ?
[15:08] <triven> page 43(index 25) of pdf that I shared via dropbox
[15:09] <TJ-> triven: thanks! I just noticed the PDF page numbers don't match

[15:10] <TJ-> triven: which version of Ubuntu are you working with?
[15:11] <TJ-> triven: That guide is 4 years old and somewhat out-of-date. I'd suggest you work from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[15:11] <triven> I 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 accurate
[15:11] <triven> Okay ..:)
[15:12] <triven> Even when i faced so many issues in first 25 pages as well. I will go with online mannual
[15:12] <triven> you are so helpful
[15:21] <oblivian> Anyone using postfix and dovecot on separate servers?
=== fire is now known as Guest93338
[15:47] <pmatulis> oblivian: sounds pretty standard
[15:58] <oblivian> Thought so, but what it the general approach, does Postfix deliver to a Dovecot server or does the Dovecot server fetch from the Postfix server?
=== Guest55578 is now known as kermit
[16:12] <pmatulis> oblivian: the former
[16:57] <TJ-> oblivian: Postfix delivers to mailboxes; Dovecot reads mailboxes, it is a 3-step process. The mailboxes can be read by many mail clients
[17:16] <oblivian> Yes, 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.
[17:17] <bekks> oblivian: That mechanism is called SMTP.
[17:21] <oblivian> Well, 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?
[17:23] <TJ-> oblivian: Yes. The public SMTP will need to remote-relay to the private server's Postfix instance which will deliver to the local mailboxes
[17:23] <oblivian> I.e. Server A (MX) Postfix, Server B Postfix/Dovecot?
[17:25] <oblivian> OK, thanks that answers my question perfectly. Tnx.

[18:40] <catalase_> hello
[18:40] <catalase_> i am attempting to install ubuntu server from usb stick
[18:40] <catalase_> i copied the contents of the .iso to the usb stick
[18:40] <catalase_> but there is no operating system found apparently lol
[18:52] <JanC> catalase_: there is info on the download page about how to properly create an install stick...
[18:53] <catalase_> can you please direct me to a page without using that shitty pendrive installer
[18:53] <JanC> what's wrong with the "shitty pendrive installer"?
[18:53] <catalase_> it has a penguin on it
[18:55] <JanC> sorry, but I can't help with removing penguins
[18:56] <shauno> I don't think you're meant to copy the *contents* of the iso.  you just write it directly to the device
[19:01] <jpds> catalase_: Have you tried just using dd? There's a reason the images are hybird ISOs.
[19:05] <jrgifford> anyone else getting fun mount errors with virtualbox, vagrant and the latest precise cloud images?
