[00:07] <bremden> I'm trying to set up a personal web server with ubuntu server 14.04, system powers up, but after selecting the boot disk, it goes to a blank screen with a flashing cursor, and becomes unresponsive to input. Anyone know if this is a hardware issue?
[07:54] <eagles0513875_> hey guys im taking over a server that right now is a mess in terms of permissions in /var/www all sites at the moment are set to 777
[07:54] <eagles0513875_> how can i switch all said directories and files back to their original permissions
[08:31] <YamakasY> does any know how I can run dirsrv on a public IP instead of localhost ?
[09:03] <SlIva> test message
[09:52] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:56] <eagles0513875_> hey lordievader
[09:56] <eagles0513875_> got a question im working on a work vps at the moment to try and fix permissions question for you
[09:56] <eagles0513875_> how can i restore a directory and its files permissions back to the defaults
[10:00] <Kartagis> eagles0513875_: permissions default vary by your requirements, there are no set defaults
[10:00] <lordievader> ^
[10:00] <eagles0513875_> Kartagis: there are defaults
[10:00] <eagles0513875_> i thought there were
[10:00] <Kartagis> no
[10:00] <eagles0513875_> 775 for directories and 664 for files
[10:00] <Kartagis> 755 for d, 644 for f
[10:00] <lordievader> eagles0513875_: Err no.
[10:01] <lordievader> That is for some dirs a really bad ide.
[10:01] <eagles0513875_> Kartagis: right that is what i meant sorry
[10:01] <lordievader> idea*
[10:01] <eagles0513875_> right now what they are set to which is 777 is worse
[10:01] <Kartagis> eagles0513875_: but like I said, permissions default vary by your requirements, there are no set defaults
[10:01] <lordievader> What folder are we taking here?
[10:01] <eagles0513875_> lordievader: websites directories in /var/www
[10:01] <eagles0513875_> which are set to 777 at the moment
[10:02] <eagles0513875_> and they were not set by me but by the previous admin
[10:02] <Kartagis> 777 is evil dude
[10:02] <lordievader> Hmm, there 755 is fine and 644.
[10:02] <ikonia> it really depends though
[10:02] <ikonia> eg: some wordpress permissions can require 777 or 775
[10:03] <ikonia> eg the temporary directory
[10:03] <ikonia> it's not a black and white answer
[10:03] <ikonia> you need to evaluate your web site needs and set them correctly
[10:03] <eagles0513875_> ok
[10:03] <Kartagis> listen to the man
[10:04] <lordievader> +1
[10:04] <eagles0513875_> i am listening to him :)
[10:04] <Kartagis> speaking of which, never ever use wordpress
[10:05] <Kartagis> it's more evil than the satan
[10:05] <eagles0513875_> lol Kartagis my job is using it and i need to upgrade it badly lol
[10:05] <eagles0513875_> so i did a bit of digging and in the forums it seems like default 755 and 644 permissions are sufficient for wordpress
[10:05] <ikonia> Kartagis: grow up
[10:05] <ikonia> Kartagis: it's one of the most widely used and respectted web platforms
[10:05] <ikonia> eagles0513875_: no they are not
[10:06] <Kartagis> ikonia: most widely used, and most widely hacked
[10:06] <eagles0513875_> ikonia: would you mind if we take this to the wordpress channel as its not really ubuntu server on topic
[10:06] <ikonia> Kartagis: because of incorrectly setup sites
[10:06] <ikonia> eagles0513875_: you can take it to the wordpress channel, there are experienced guys in thtere
[10:06] <eagles0513875_> ok no problem
[11:31] <Azaril> hey
[11:31] <Azaril> im using 12.04
[11:31] <Azaril> does this use /etc/anacrontab by default?
[11:32] <Azaril> i cant find it
[11:40] <lordievader> Azaril: Is anacron installed?
[11:43] <rbasak> Azaril: it's not installed by default on server.
[11:53] <Azaril> ahah
[11:53] <Azaril> that would explain it
[12:21] <Azaril> if i install anacrontab, the entries for cron.daily, cron.weekly etc are still there
[12:21] <Azaril> (in /etc/crontab)
[12:22] <Azaril> will the jobs get run twice?
[12:22] <rbasak> Yeah they stay there.
[12:22] <rbasak> My jobs in /etc/crontab test for anacron
[12:22] <rbasak> Not sure about Precise.
[12:24] <Azaril> ah i see
[12:24] <Azaril> so the or wont run the crontab bit
[12:24] <pmatulis> morning
[12:24] <Azaril> 25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
[12:26] <rbasak> Right
[12:26] <rbasak> pmatulis: o/
[14:41] <alreece45> Hm... what's some good configuration management systems to use, now-a-days?
[16:17] <sudormrf> !ping
[16:33] <jgornick> Hey guys, is it possible to reset the udev persistent net rules with the available adapters on my server?
[16:56] <zul> jamespage: vivid is slowly building...fixing things as i see them
[17:22] <jamespage> zul, awesome
[17:22] <jamespage> zul, oh eventlet asap
[17:22] <jamespage> I mean't to look today
[17:39] <zul> jamespage,  what about eventlet?
[20:25] <zul> jamespage: synched python-eventlet from experimental
[22:04] <grendal_prime> has anyone seen a linux smb/cifs server  other than samba?
[22:04] <grendal_prime> cause ive about had it with samba4
[22:04] <grendal_prime> i cant get anything to work right on it.
[22:05] <grendal_prime> also if anyone knows of a way to get samba3 running on 14.04 please speak up.
[22:08] <fridaynext> grendal_prime: I have samba running on my ubuntu 14.04 server box, but i don't know which version it is
[22:08] <grendal_prime> and it works?
[22:08] <fridaynext> works great - transfers blaze along at 110MB/s over CAT5e
[22:09] <grendal_prime> dude..ive got 4 production file servers that run on samba3 with 20 users on each..never had any trouble with it.  I upgraded one of them to samba4..nothing works.
[22:10] <fridaynext> very strange... missing dependency?
[22:10] <grendal_prime> no..
[22:10] <fridaynext> ah, looks like I'm running samva 4.1.6
[22:10] <grendal_prime> ya me to
[22:10] <grendal_prime> im building a new one from scratch on vm
[22:11] <fridaynext> you try creating new shares?
[22:11] <fridaynext> my shares are really basic - only allows my user to access the shares.
[22:11] <fridaynext> write access for all of them (i store my time machine backups, iphoto, imovie, and itunes libraries on the shares)
[22:12] <grendal_prime> so i need to have several shares.  and make them group owned
[22:15] <grendal_prime> generic clone is done..setting up ip and system name
[22:21] <grendal_prime> do you manage that with cli or do you use some tool of some sort?
[22:21] <grendal_prime> fridaynext, ?
[22:22] <fridaynext> grendal_prime: I initially set it up with cli - I might have added one of them with webmin, but I'm pretty sure in the end I did them with cli.
[22:23] <grendal_prime> ya i use to use webmin to do all the management of that, the webmin module is now broke.
[22:23] <grendal_prime> well doesnt work for samba4 anyway.
[22:23] <fridaynext> try restarting the service?
[22:24] <grendal_prime> dude..for like 2 days ive been working on this..im pretty aware of the need for that..
[22:24] <grendal_prime> but thanks for asing.
[22:24] <fridaynext> grendal_prime: juuuust checking.
[22:24] <grendal_prime> asking that is..
[22:24] <grendal_prime> i know..i know.. i would do the same thing
[22:24] <fridaynext> are you on webmin 1.710?
[22:24] <grendal_prime> ya
[22:25] <fridaynext> let me check my samba settings to see if anything looks finnicky in it.
[22:25] <fridaynext> man, my settings are SUPER basic.
[22:25] <fridaynext> are you visiting webmin over https?
[22:26] <fridaynext> like when you say it's 'broke', do you mean not loading anything at all, or something else?
[22:26] <grendal_prime> webmin is fine..
[22:27] <grendal_prime> the problem is, have you ever set up shares that were group owned?  if not then samba4 probably works just fine with very basic settings. Ive got that to work ok. but
[22:28] <grendal_prime> i would use the users and groups management on webmin for the samba box, add users to a group, then they have access to those shares.  all of that no longer works the way it use to.
[22:29] <grendal_prime> i think it just doesnt work at all.  I saw one bug report that basically stated that, if you force ownership on a share, nobody can log into it then.
[22:34] <fridaynext> is it a huge group? might work better to just put in each username.
[22:35] <grendal_prime> cant get that to work either
[22:35] <grendal_prime> if its wide open its fine..problem comes in when you start forcing ownership of created files and dirs.
[22:36] <grendal_prime> if you are going to have several people accessing the files you have to make them group owned.
[22:41] <fridaynext> yeah
[23:07] <Vladimir_> is there any ubuntu alternatives for Citrix?
[23:09] <sarnold> Vladimir_: qemu/kvm, either managed as standalone tools or via libvirt or maybe via proxmox (I haven't looked into proxmox much, it might not actually require a distribution like ubuntu or not..)
[23:11] <Vladimir_> sarnold: thanks , I've looked into proxmox a bit
[23:11] <sarnold> Vladimir_: of course if you have enough machines you can go full openstack
[23:14] <FilthyMacNasty> guys I want a web interface music server, help?
