Kilos | ah i looked at the site somaunn | 06:54 |
Kilos | hi Golynx | 06:55 |
Golynx | Hi Kilos | 06:55 |
Golynx | I cant get this damn permissions thing to work grrr | 06:56 |
Kilos | permissions where Golynx ? | 06:57 |
Golynx | Tried 15 sites already none of their commands works | 06:57 |
Kilos | what are you trying to get admin rights to? | 06:58 |
Golynx | Permissions for my scripts to create folders and write to files | 06:58 |
Kilos | on your own pc? | 06:58 |
Golynx | Yes | 06:59 |
Kilos | try running the tool you are using with sudo | 06:59 |
Golynx | I need it , if it dont work in php it wont work in any other language either | 06:59 |
Kilos | i dont know how those things work | 07:00 |
Kilos | but you must be able to get permissions on everything in your own pc | 07:00 |
Golynx | I already got root to read/write the web folder | 07:01 |
Kilos | so what is blocking you then | 07:01 |
Kilos | what commands have you tried | 07:02 |
Golynx | When my script creates a new file it spits out permission denied | 07:02 |
Kilos | you gotta be careful using some commands | 07:02 |
Golynx | Why do my root username appear twice when i type "users" in terminal | 07:03 |
Kilos | you must have added a user somehow | 07:03 |
Kilos | oh mine shows 3 times | 07:04 |
Kilos | hehe | 07:04 |
Golynx | Nope only user i added was another one but different name | 07:04 |
Golynx | hmm | 07:04 |
Kilos | ask that question tonight when the guys are back from shopping and other saterday stuff | 07:04 |
Golynx | Anyway i will try some more | 07:04 |
Kilos | tell me where is this script you have written | 07:05 |
Kilos | you gonna battle to let root allow strange scripts in | 07:05 |
Golynx | In a custom directory in my /home/user/ folder | 07:06 |
Kilos | you can get full control of that folder using chown | 07:06 |
Kilos | is it that folder itself thats blocking you? | 07:07 |
Golynx | already used chown to set my root username as owner there | 07:07 |
Kilos | what chown command did you use | 07:07 |
Golynx | Nope every script executes perfectly, except when it has to create folders and files | 07:08 |
Kilos | chown is very powerful and you can break things if used incorrectly | 07:08 |
Kilos | oh the script needs to be able to create folders and files | 07:08 |
Golynx | Yes | 07:09 |
Kilos | must be then something needed in the script to give it permission | 07:10 |
Kilos | im just guessing here. i know nothing about those things | 07:10 |
Kilos | have you looked at vim | 07:10 |
Kilos | using vim allows scripts to run i think | 07:11 |
Golynx | I dont wana give apache server full root powers though, but looks like i have to | 07:11 |
Kilos | i started learning it but too much to remember unless used daily | 07:11 |
Golynx | never used vim | 07:11 |
Kilos | its a bash tool i think | 07:12 |
Kilos | there were more, ask mage when he comes | 07:12 |
Kilos | Maaz, google using vim on 12.04 | 07:13 |
Maaz | Kilos: "Updating vim 7.3.429 to 7.3.885 on Ubuntu 12.04 - Ask Ubuntu" http://askubuntu.com/questions/321931/updating-vim-7-3-429-to-7-3-885-on-ubuntu-12-04 :: "Coloured view in vim editor not working in ubuntu 12.04 - Ask Ubuntu" http://askubuntu.com/questions/298747/coloured-view-in-vim-editor-not-working-in-ubuntu-12-04 :: "Installing and Using the Vim Text | 07:13 |

Kilos | ai! | 07:13 |
Kilos | learn python man | 07:13 |
Kilos | Maaz, google byteofpython | 07:14 |
Maaz | Kilos: "A Byte of Python - Swaroop CH" http://swaroopch.com/notes/python/ :: "A Byte of Python - Ibiblio" http://www.ibiblio.org/g2swap/byteofpython/read/ :: "A Byte of Python (PDF) - Ibiblio" http://www.ibiblio.org/swaroopch/byteofpython/files/120/byteofpython_120.pdf :: "A Byte of Python" http://www.byteofpython.info/ :: "Free PDF: A Byte of Python by Swaroop C | 07:14 |
Maaz | H" http://freepdfs.org/pdf/a-byte-of-python :: "A Byte of Python in German" http://abop-ge… | 07:14 |
Golynx | I cant waste more data on google trying to fix this issue ai | 07:14 |
Kilos | ai! | 07:14 |
Golynx | I already know about python, for 3 years now been making a few programs with it and some games with pygame | 07:15 |
Kilos | then just wait here till one of the clever guys has time to help | 07:15 |
Kilos | aha | 07:15 |
Golynx | Hav'nt done web development with it though | 07:15 |
Kilos | that might be the answer though. the fly tells everyone to use python | 07:16 |
Golynx | I will have the same permissions issue on python aswell | 07:16 |
Kilos | and there are some python experts in this channel but they cant chat all day like me | 07:17 |
Kilos | the experts will tell you how to fix the permissions thing | 07:17 |
Kilos | thats all beyong my knowledge | 07:18 |
Kilos | beyond | 07:18 |
Golynx | Its ok i will keep trying | 07:18 |
Kilos | lets see | 07:18 |
Kilos | georgl, you here? | 07:18 |
Golynx | You got a beautiful daughter Kilos, she got your cheaks :) | 07:25 |
Kilos | lol | 07:29 |
Kilos | you can chown that one folder only so you got permission | 07:30 |
Kilos | but only that one thats blocking you | 07:30 |
Kilos | dont fiddle near root | 07:30 |
Kilos | there is actually a command to see the rw permissions | 07:31 |
Golynx | I dunno how to use Is -l | 07:31 |
Kilos | but to get the user permissions there | 07:32 |
Kilos | ls -l maybe | 07:32 |
Kilos | lemme try | 07:32 |
Kilos | ya that shows lots | 07:32 |
Kilos | is it just that one folder blocking you? | 07:33 |
Golynx | Apache uses the group www-data , but when i type "groups" in terminal www-data is not listed in there | 07:33 |
Kilos | apache is blocking you? | 07:33 |
Golynx | Yes | 07:33 |
Kilos | yes to which question? | 07:34 |
Golynx | Yes only in the www folder apache uses | 07:34 |
Kilos | then chown only that folder | 07:35 |
Golynx | Other scripts in its subdirectory also wont create new files | 07:35 |
Kilos | sudo chown user:user path to folder | 07:35 |
Golynx | I did already, ai lemme try again | 07:36 |
Kilos | to make chown more powerful add -R | 07:36 |
Kilos | sudo chown -R user:user path to folder | 07:37 |
Golynx | ok | 07:37 |
Golynx | Scripts still wont give permission | 07:38 |
Kilos | ai! | 07:38 |
Kilos | wait for an expert | 07:38 |
Golynx | How do i add my username to the group www-data | 07:38 |
Kilos | maybe thats it but i dunno | 07:39 |
Kilos | where is this www-data | 07:39 |
Golynx | I got another user there i created yesterday, but dont think its got permissions to do anything | 07:39 |
Kilos | ai! | 07:40 |
Golynx | www-data is apache servers group | 07:40 |
Kilos | sjoe | 07:40 |
Golynx | I have to remove that user, its showing up at my boot login | 07:41 |
Kilos | i would tell you wrong things to do as this is out of my depth | 07:41 |
Golynx | Its ok thanks Kilos | 07:41 |
Kilos | wbb | 09:00 |
Golynx | wb Kilos | 09:08 |
Kilos | ty | 09:09 |
Golynx | np | 09:09 |

Golynx | Aah hope for success this time round | 09:11 |
Kilos | haha major work making unused areas to not use bad sectors | 09:13 |
Golynx | That sounds tough | 09:15 |
Kilos | yeah and stupid xp thats on there wants an admin password i didnt give it | 09:16 |

georgl | hi | 09:19 |
Golynx | I cant seem to get php to create new files and folders permission denied everytime | 09:19 |
Golynx | I tried lots of ways already | 09:20 |
Golynx | Windows i did'nt had this headache | 09:20 |
Kilos | he is new to buntu georgl | 09:20 |
georgl | are you creating the new file | 09:21 |
georgl | in the apached dir? | 09:21 |
georgl | maybe i should ask the following? | 09:22 |
georgl | where are you storing the php files? | 09:22 |
Golynx | I my web server root at /home/username/www , its already got www-data and my user as full write and read access | 09:22 |
georgl | ok | 09:22 |
georgl | what is the permissions for that directory? | 09:23 |
Golynx | drwxr-xr-x 47 username www-data 4096 Jan 14 17:48 /home/username/www/ | 09:23 |
georgl | and you are trying to create a php file? | 09:24 |
Golynx | Yes and other text file types plus folders with php script | 09:24 |
georgl | what is the message you get when you are trying to save it? | 09:25 |
Golynx | [Sat Jan 18 10:59:19 2014] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: fopen(thetest.txt) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/username/www/1test/fberry.php on line 3 | 09:26 |
georgl | pastebin the script you have created please? | 09:27 |
Golynx | Plus other scripts in other directories, but always the same permission denied error | 09:28 |
Golynx | Its not just the one file create script, when i try create zip file aswell it gives the same error | 09:29 |
Golynx | That scripts work on other servers and worked perfect on windows aswell. I just cant get the apache configuration right on linux | 09:30 |
Golynx | http://pastebin.com/hCG80zgE | 09:32 |
georgl | open up a terminal | 09:35 |
Golynx | The other zip script http://pastebin.com/vg24XK5S | 09:35 |
georgl | goto the dir where the script is installed | 09:35 |
Golynx | Ok | 09:36 |
georgl | run it php cli and see if it workd | 09:36 |
georgl | run it with php cli and see if it workd | 09:36 |
Golynx | How do i do that nevr used cli with php | 09:37 |
georgl | php <filename.php> | 09:38 |
Golynx | It works :) thetest.txt was created | 09:39 |
Kilos | oyay ty georgl sorry to bother you | 09:40 |
Golynx | Why wont it work from the browser though , where i need it to work | 09:41 |
Kilos | see Golynx just need to learn the different way of doing things | 09:41 |
georgl | create a file in the dir with name of phpinfo.php and paste http://slexy.org/view/s20SP0grEC into it | 09:42 |
georgl | browse to the file and see what it tells you? | 09:42 |
Golynx | I already got a info.php in my web root georgl , i dunno where to look though so much there | 09:44 |
georgl | pastebin it | 09:44 |
Golynx | ok | 09:45 |
Golynx | I just copied and pasted it http://pastebin.com/pPbQJhV5 | 09:47 |
Kilos | slexy.org is faster and lighter than pastebin | 09:49 |
georgl | how did you do the apache and php installation? | 09:50 |
Golynx | From Synaptics package manager | 09:51 |
Kilos | synaptic | 09:53 |
Golynx | I dont see mod_rewrite there in info.php though | 09:53 |
Golynx | and apache.conf does'nt give ability to enable and disable modules . I used to be able to do that on windows | 09:54 |
georgl | i suggest you look at apache documentation for that | 09:55 |
Golynx | I will try do that | 09:56 |
georgl | Golynx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 09:58 |
georgl | take a look at that | 09:58 |
Golynx | Ty georgl i will have a look and try figure out how to fix this issue | 10:01 |
georgl | good luck | 10:10 |
Golynx | ty georgl, will keep at it till its fixed :) | 10:11 |

Symmetria | the video cards are about 10 grand each and there are 3 of them | 13:35 |
Symmetria | the screens are 7k each and there are 4 of them | 13:35 |
Symmetria | so thats 58 grand alone | 13:35 |

Golynx | Ya i think you were | 14:32 |
liamT | anyone using Flask on Apache ? | 14:38 |
Kilos | liamT, min peeps here now, ask again tonight | 14:41 |
Golynx | I use apache , but never used the mod_wsgi module though | 14:42 |
liamT | ok, still you might be able to answer this | 14:43 |
Kilos | ok | 14:44 |
Golynx | I'm not sure, hardly use cli | 14:44 |
liamT | I have this application running under Apache, with the mod-wsgi module, and i want to serve it on port 80 | 14:45 |
liamT | so I set up a virtualhost containing all the various wsgi information | 14:45 |
liamT | but I cannot see the app unless I change the port, the app apache settings are being overridden for lack of a better description | 14:46 |
liamT | anything I should consider ? | 14:46 |
Golynx | Are you using python | 14:48 |
liamT | yes, Flask is a python microframework, like a slimmed down Django | 14:50 |
charl | good afternoon | 14:53 |
charl | Maaz: coffee on | 14:53 |
* Maaz flips the salt-timer | 14:53 | |
Kilos | hi charl | 14:53 |
charl | hi Kilos, liamT, Golynx | 14:53 |
Golynx | I only kno about php in apache though, never tried using django or python web framework before. This may help though http://www.lonesomedev.com/?p=169 | 14:54 |
Golynx | Hi charl | 14:54 |
Golynx | or like Kilos said there are many here experienced with python web frameworks so they may help more than i can | 14:56 |
Maaz | Coffee's ready for charl! | 14:57 |
charl | Maaz: thank you | 15:00 |
Maaz | charl: Sure | 15:00 |
charl | oh yeah i recall i did some projects in flask | 15:01 |
charl | wasn't that related to the werkzeug project? | 15:01 |
Golynx | liamT may know about that charl, i never heard of that | 15:04 |
charl | oh sorry i only see the ping timeout now | 15:07 |
Golynx | np | 15:08 |
Kilos | wb liamT | 15:09 |
liamT | blerry connection | 15:33 |
Kilos | lol | 15:42 |
Golynx | I struggle getting php to work right in ubuntu aswell. Mostly the various permission though | 15:42 |
Golynx | I will try this aswell when i set up django in a few moths http://www.lonesomedev.com/?p=169 | 15:44 |
Golynx | months* | 15:44 |
Kilos | ohi Mzolisto are you actually here or still just lurking | 15:54 |
Kilos | wbb | 16:00 |
liamT | taa | 16:53 |
Kilos | did you get some help liamT ? | 16:55 |
liamT | thanking Golynx | 16:57 |
liamT | think I will have to map to /etc/hosts. So instead of serving to 127.0.0.1/ap1 i'll use ap1.localhost or similar | 16:57 |
liamT | i think it's the servername I'm specifying incorrectly. I want 127.0.0.1/app name, but then what ServerName do I use ? the various permutations I've tried seem to make no difference | 16:59 |
liamT | you all have a good evening | 16:59 |

Squirm | hi | 17:09 |
Kilos | hi Squirm | 17:09 |
Private_User | evening all :) | 17:43 |
psydroid | evening Private_User :) | 17:43 |
Kilos | hi Private_User psydroid | 17:43 |
Private_User | good evening psydroid and Kilos | 17:44 |
Private_User | hey anybody heard of or used Zorin OS? I see its based on Ubuntu. It made me think what does that mean when they say its based on Ubuntu cause I see many flavours of Linux based on Ubuntu but what exactly does that mean? | 17:48 |
Kilos | i think its mainly the gui thats different | 17:48 |
Kilos | like lubuntu and xubuntu | 17:49 |
Private_User | mmm... ok but why not just call it ubuntu | 17:51 |
Kilos | i might be wrong it might be a fork that kept gnome2 | 17:52 |
Kilos | Squirm, ? | 17:52 |
Kilos | he will know | 17:52 |
Private_User | cause I was thinking of suggesting that OS for maybe my family since they are windows users and according to what I read on the net it is designed for new comers from windows to linux | 17:55 |
Private_User | but I was still wondering what exactly does based on Ubuntu mean | 17:55 |
Kilos | im not sure Private_User if you have uncapped get and try it | 17:56 |
Kilos | just be careful it isnt as complete as ubuntu is | 17:56 |
Kilos | might need more serious geek work | 17:56 |
Private_User | could we then create our own flavour of Linux maybe call it ZA-Ubuntu created by the ZA peeps ;) | 17:57 |
Kilos | but you wont know till you have tried it | 17:57 |
Private_User | yeah but its not only that I have seen other flavours as well based on Ubuntu | 17:57 |
Private_User | so was just curious | 17:57 |
Kilos | yeah i think its all free open source but calling it ubuntu anything might have some leagal stuff to get past | 17:58 |
Kilos | there was someone here a while back said is was lekker but i dont remember who | 17:58 |
Private_User | ok, I guess when I get really bored, cannot sleep and have nothing do I will use my midnight data to browse the net and find out exactly what it means when they say one distro is based on another | 18:00 |
Private_User | maybe even see what it takes to create ones own distro as well | 18:01 |
Kilos | oh you also mobile broadband | 18:01 |
Private_User | yep using 3G | 18:02 |
Kilos | it will be a big job i think. takes lotsa work from a large group of guys | 18:02 |
Kilos | big restrictions 3g | 18:02 |
Kilos | unless you are rich | 18:03 |
Private_User | yep and nope not rich | 18:03 |
Private_User | lol | 18:03 |
Kilos | same here i force myself to stay up to upgrade on night surfer | 18:03 |
Kilos | normally bed time at 9pm | 18:04 |
Kilos | meeting 28th hey | 18:04 |
Kilos | please be here | 18:04 |
Kilos | we gonna discuss the internet in za | 18:04 |
Private_User | lekker, cool will do that what time? | 18:05 |
Kilos | 8.30 pm | 18:05 |
Private_User | I might need a reminder closer to the time | 18:05 |

Kilos | i normally leave a tweet reminder and on the lists | 18:05 |
Kilos | oh and inetpro leaves one on g+ | 18:06 |
magespawn | good evening all | 18:10 |
Kilos | hi magespawn | 18:11 |
Kilos | sorry i missed you today | 18:12 |
magespawn | no worries | 18:12 |
magespawn | still working on the 2tb nighttmare? | 18:14 |
Kilos | that antenna looks interesting where do the wires connect | 18:14 |
Kilos | yes but im getting closer | 18:15 |
Kilos | xp runs fine on it | 18:15 |
magespawn | cool beans | 18:15 |
Kilos | first 100m seems to be ok and then 130g bad | 18:15 |
Kilos | so ive made that unused | 18:15 |
Kilos | but need to do it here. other pc way too slow | 18:16 |
Kilos | even here ubuntu takes hours to even get to the partition stage | 18:17 |
magespawn | to the coaxial pigtail | 18:17 |
Kilos | ya but to where actually | 18:17 |
Kilos | one to the centre and screens to the outside? | 18:18 |
Kilos | wont be very far coverage though | 18:18 |
magespawn | the pigtail has a connector on it that connects to either a wireless card or a router or similar device | 18:18 |
Golynx | Kilos is there a way to remove the disk checking when i reboot ? My videos goes blank after a while | 18:20 |
magespawn | it is meant to be directional i think so that you can extend coverage | 18:20 |
Kilos | yes dont run that command | 18:20 |
Golynx | All tried vlc too, its blank, just the sound playing | 18:20 |
Kilos | hmm... | 18:20 |
Golynx | But it checks automatically | 18:20 |
Kilos | every boot? | 18:21 |
Golynx | yes | 18:21 |
Kilos | not supposed to | 18:21 |
Kilos | screen might be going blank while it runs the boot stuff | 18:21 |
Kilos | supposed to show a boot splash or text | 18:22 |
Kilos | yagi is the best magespawn | 18:22 |
Kilos | we even used them for cb radio and hams use them | 18:22 |
Golynx | It checks everything, but my video players goes black screen after a while, that sucks | 18:22 |
Kilos | and you can buy wifi yagis | 18:23 |
magespawn | the same guy has some interesting designs for yagi too | 18:23 |
Kilos | vlc never gives probs on an upgraded system | 18:23 |
Kilos | be patient till next month | 18:23 |
magespawn | Golynx, is it not the screen saver kicking in? | 18:23 |
Kilos | that too ya | 18:24 |
Kilos | check in settings under power | 18:24 |
Golynx | No magespawn, i am busy on the pc while the video plays | 18:24 |
magespawn | ahh well | 18:24 |
Golynx | It just goes blank , and i have to reboot to fix it | 18:25 |
Kilos | if you werent so far id fix it for you | 18:25 |
Kilos | go find wifi somewhere and upgrade | 18:25 |
magespawn | does seem a bit strange | 18:25 |
Kilos | never had hassles with vlc | 18:26 |
Golynx | Ok nevermind, i will whack this lappy against the wall in a few months lol | 18:26 |
magespawn | turn it into a server instead | 18:26 |
Kilos | no man | 18:26 |
magespawn | no need for graphics then | 18:27 |
magespawn | not sure if the wireless works out of the box | 18:28 |
Golynx | Just kidding , will keep on using it till it breaks :) | 18:28 |
magespawn | i have a lappy doing time as a server | 18:29 |
Kilos | magespawn, explain to him why security updates are important | 18:29 |
Golynx | This lappy never gave me hardware issues at all, mostly it was me that messed up in the software side | 18:29 |
Kilos | it will be fine man | 18:30 |
Kilos | those updates will fix everything | 18:30 |
Golynx | I cant use it as a server though magespawn | 18:30 |
Golynx | No broadband or a stable location for a server setup | 18:30 |
Golynx | We will have to see Kilos | 18:31 |
Golynx | I stil cant 3D model with blender , eventhough the graphics drivers are now in | 18:32 |
magespawn | Golynx, it can serve for you | 18:32 |
Golynx | I dont understand what you mean magespawn | 18:33 |
magespawn | just a play on words, server - serve | 18:34 |
Kilos | lol | 18:34 |
Golynx | Ok cool, i will divorce the "r" and marry the "serve" | 18:36 |
magespawn | if you are doing web development then you could run a web server to test | 18:36 |
Kilos | lol | 18:36 |
Kilos | then he needs another pc too | 18:36 |
magespawn | yup or you can direct your browser to localhost | 18:37 |
Golynx | I already do that with apache | 18:37 |
Golynx | But will wana host and run my web apps from a cloud hosting though | 18:38 |

Kilos | or not till you got big bundles | 18:39 |
Golynx | No guarentees when i run my own server , aspecially when i dont have a stable environtment to put it | 18:39 |
Kilos | you need serious java there magespawn to get the modeller to run' | 18:40 |
magespawn | i have been looking at cloudatcost.com | 18:40 |
Kilos | i had to install oracle-java-installer to get it to open | 18:41 |
magespawn | will check on monday | 18:41 |
Golynx | For me google appengine is enough to host my apps. If i wana expand in future i can pay extra for space and bandwidth | 18:43 |
Kilos | you still gonna sort my website one day got | 18:46 |
Kilos | but i think it has everything needed | 18:46 |

ThatGraemeGuy | but we will definitely go back to that place in knysna again and spend longer, 4 nights or so | 19:33 |
ThatGraemeGuy | hopefully take another couple along | 19:33 |

Kilos | but 7 wont install on it. it says this drive will crash soon | 20:05 |
Kilos | hehe | 20:05 |
Kilos | i wanna prove it wrong | 20:06 |
Kilos | as is i can use it as 1.7TB storage. but i want to install ubuntu on it then run badblocks | 20:07 |

Golynx | Thats good, weed out those bugs | 20:12 |
Kilos | lol | 20:12 |
Kilos | many bad sectors | 20:12 |
Kilos | but should end up with enough good space to save backups on | 20:12 |
Kilos | use dos and windows to cover the bad areas | 20:13 |
Golynx | Ya the backup option sounds good | 20:13 |
Golynx | Best to install an os on a good drive | 20:14 |
Kilos | yip | 20:14 |
Kilos | but the 500g i have here is 20g win xp in the beginning and its lasted about a year so far | 20:15 |
Kilos | one day ill buy some new drives | 20:15 |
Kilos | hehe | 20:15 |
Golynx | You will do great in your small business | 20:20 |
Kilos | na im too lazy | 20:20 |
