RoguehorseI've heard some people say they feel it would be best to only have one or two large one's in nor-cal rather than many small ones but I think having many smaller ones works better00:52

grantbowpleia2: grats17:17
pleia2thanks :)17:17
Roguehorsegrantbow: Oh, mostly homework I've been ignoring as I'm not a huge fan of history.17:19
RoguehorseI also need to make a final decision on my Masters program17:22
RoguehorseAnd I need to follow up on this gig my academic advisor wants to follow up with over at Cal State E-bay17:23
RoguehorseThe gig involves a company called Mitel that has an installation there and the word is that they want someone for their data center17:24
Roguehorsealthough after my experience with AT&T I loathe the thought of getting involved with anything having to do with phone systems17:25
Roguehorseso I'm reluctant17:25
Roguehorseand I need someone to help me solve my issue with my Ubuntu apche server17:27
Roguehorsethen if I can I'd like to spend some time on a PerlTk program I've been working on17:27
grantbowso many projects, so little time :-) I know the feeling.17:28
Roguehorsealways, my wife complains17:28
RoguehorseI'm always working on something and she doesn't understand how someone can find so much to do on a computer17:29
pleia2Roguehorse: is roguehorse the address you navigate to in your browser to try and access this? (ServerName)17:30
Roguehorseshe mostly uses a computer for web surfing unless she's at work17:30
Roguehorseno, actually my hostname is set to linux17:31
pleia2Roguehorse: I mean, when you go to browse it, what do you type in the addressbar?17:31
RoguehorseI noticed the addition from an update where localhost is still 127.0.0.1 but linux resolves to 127.0.1.117:32
Roguehorsethat tripped me up for a few minutes until I went in a read the file again17:32
pleia2try changing the ServerName to linux17:32
* pleia2 hrms17:34
pleia2cgi-bin is a special kind of thing, so you might also reference cgi-specific docs for whatever cgi type you're using17:34
Roguehorse40417:36
Roguehorseat the moment I'm not so concerned about CGI as I got that working through 000-default so I have something to play with17:36
Roguehorsejust tryingto resolve getting access to /srv17:37
grantbowuser or group permissions look ok?17:37
pleia2Roguehorse: /var/log/apache2/error.log might help17:37
* grantbow rereads17:37
Roguehorseyes, I did remember to sudo service apache2 restart *every time*17:37
pleia2could tell you what it's denying access to17:38
grantbow+117:39
Roguehorseit's not17:40
pleia2that's weird, it should log what it's trying to access for any 404s17:41
grantbowmaybe the wrong error.log17:41
grantbowis there more than one?17:41
Roguehorseerrorlog and errorlog117:43
Roguehorsehold on17:44
pleia2Roguehorse: oh, try the access.log17:44
pleia2clearly my brain has turned to mush today :)17:44
Roguehorseno worries, I appreciate any brain action I can get to help fix this : )17:45
pleia2or been cooked, was 90F here today and the Deutsche Telekom office we were working in had no air conditioning17:45
pleia2crazy germans17:45
RoguehorseAH00169: caught SIGTERM, shutting down17:46
grantbowAHa!17:46
RoguehorseAH00163: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.3 mod_perl/2.0.8 Perl/v5.18.2 configured -- resuming normal operations17:46
RoguehorseAH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2'17:46
pleia2so that log should have any attempts to access files on the server logged17:46
Roguehorselet me look at the access log17:47
Roguehorse127.0.0.1 - - [18/Jul/2014:10:35:57 -0700] "GET /srv/ HTTP/1.1" 404 488 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.125 Safari/537.36"17:48
Roguehorsethat's the last entry17:48
pleia2what exactly are you typing in the addressbar to access it?17:48
Roguehorseso does it have something to do with linux being associated with 127.0.1.1?17:49
Roguehorselinux/srv/17:49
pleia2drop the srv17:49
Roguehorseand I have a basic html file there17:49
pleia2you set srv as the document root, which means it lives at /17:49
pleia2so linux/17:49
pleia2linux/srv/ will attempt to go to /srv/srv17:50
RoguehorseLOL! You're my hero!!! : )17:50
pleia2hooray!17:50
Roguehorseso it was working all along and I was just trying to access it like the default apache setup17:51
pleia2yep17:51
Roguehorsewell, I have definitely learned something today! YOU ROCK!17:51
pleia2phew, earned my "I wrote the BOOK on Ubuntu" cred for the day17:52
RoguehorseSo now I can piddle around with CGI from that address17:52
pleia2yeah, so hopefully it ends up in linux/cgi-bin17:52
Roguehorse+1000!17:52
Roguehorseshould17:53
grantbowlol17:53
Roguehorseso to access the default /var/www I still use the recursive addresses?17:54
pleia2well, in the default case of /var/www the DocumentRoot is set to /var/www17:54
Roguehorseyep-17:54
pleia2so anything you put under it shows up as /srv or whatever17:54
grantbowubuntu does not equal apache, it's just the killer app of linux :-)17:54
pleia2same deal here, just that you set it as /srv now17:54
pleia2so /var/www/kittens is the same as /srv/kittens17:55
Roguehorsewell if I access linux/var/www/html it shortens to linux/<website folder>17:55
pleia2yep17:56
Roguehorseremember they added that extra folder in there (for whatever reason)17:56
pleia2well17:56
pleia2no17:56
pleia2if you acces linux/var/www/html it will look to the filesystem for /srv/var/www/html17:57
Roguehorsehowever, I can access CGI-BIN from /var/www just short of the html directory17:57
pleia2my dinner has arrived!17:57
Roguehorseah!? I will have to play with this.. : )17:58
RoguehorseGo EAT!17:58
pleia2:) have fun17:58
josepleia2: yay! :D18:39
Roguehorseok, I'm having problems establishing recursion18:52
* ianorlin just got back from an interview as well19:04
grantbow+119:18
ianorlinsometimes it feels so endogenous when you can't get expirence because you have none19:19
RoguehorseI hear that a lot, it's why we do volunteer work19:46
DonkeyHoteiRoguehorse: i volunteered a lot of my time, and it never counted as experience21:23
* ianorlin thinks autism makes it much hareder for someone to get real world expirence21:34
DonkeyHoteiit makes a lot of real-world things harder21:36
Roguehorseianorlin: LOL!21:41
ianorlinRoguehorse: how is that funny?21:41
RoguehorseDonkeyHotei: Well, guess I'll just be a lifer volunteer then : )21:41
Roguehorseianorlin: Sorry, thought you were making an off-color joke. But you're right, I suppose it would make things a bit difficult.21:44
RoguehorseDonkeyHotei: Still much better to love a $10/hr job than loathe a $50/hr job; money and title don't mean much if a person hates what they're doing23:57
DonkeyHoteiRoguehorse: what about loathing the $10/hr job? because that's more realistic23:59
