General :: Internet File Serving Discussion
Mar 28, 2010
I have another generalized question for you all. I'm thinking about setting up my server at home in a sort of 'cloud storage' capacity. What I mean by that is, I'd like to be able to basically use it as an attached drive or maybe through a browser interface and read/write files to it from the internet at other locations (work, most specifically). NFS is limited and would be a pain to setup as you need to auth every user and location. I've heard talk about SSHFS and AFS, and am looking into them but nothing has popped yet.

installed ubuntu 8.10 64bit on left over parts for file serving with windows 7, tried the sample config file that installed with it with no luck, then tried new config file, looking at the samba.org website and other peoples configurations i came up with this
[global]
netbios name = NETBIOS_NAME
workgroup = workgroup
security = user
[code]....

I would like to run a small file server at home which I could connect to both remotely and within my own network. I was thinking of using something similar to a cheap dell optiplex machine (Pentium 3 or 4 2GHz?, with 256mb ram and a 40GB hard drive[will do something about the lack of space later]).The file server part of this should be straightforward but I wanted advice on how I could manage downloads on the machine. On my laptop I currently use both firefox's built in download manager and JDownloader. Sometimes Jdownloader isn't the ideal solution for all downloads, e.g. sometimes a single connection through firefox gets a faster download speed. I also occcasionally download torrents through Miro.
If anyone has setup something like what I'm suggesting, could you please give me a general idea of how best to go about this?

I have 1 switch 24 ports, but I need to test some app (vm) in my box, I don't want to use other NIC, because is difficult to get another switch and setup the that network.
My network run in 192.168.2.0/24
I want to have other network for my test app 192.168.4.0/24
the 4/24 will be where I will test some app(samba PDC), is possible to enble my machine with 1 NIC to connect in both networks if my nic have the IP 192.168.2.37?
I read about aliases, but it say that the alias must be in the same network.

I have one main subnet 192.168.50.0/24 with a defaultrouter 192.168.50.1 connected to the internet. I have an NFS server on that network. Everything is working as desired and machines are able to see each other and access the internet.
Now, I would like to add two more interfaces to the NFS server (running Slackware Linux), each on its own different subnet, say 192.168.51.0/24 and 192.168.52.0/24. The clients on those new subnets should also be able to access the internet (through the router 192.168.50.1). how to setup routing? Do I need any additional hardware router in between, or just a software configuration on the NFS server?
On a side note I have VLAN capable switches (couple of ProCurve 1800-24G) and would like to separate the three subnets using VLANs instead of using three separate switches.

I just did yet another fresh install of OpenSuse 11.1, (no DVD drive otherwise I would use the newer version), all updates have been performed, I installed apache2 and it's modules, php5 and some of the modules I needed, mysql, sshd for local only access, and webmin, postfix is used only for local mail between php scripts and the system, mainly because out-of-the-box, postfix is an open relay, and can take weeks to configure as an SMTP server, so I have to use php scripts that do not use a mail server, anyway.
The problem is, apache2 only seems to know how to serve php files, html files only get shown on ANY browser as source code not the contents.
I've been trying for 3 weeks,,, messing with this option, setting that option, and screwing up the system, hence reformatting and re-installing OpenSuse several times, so if anyone wants to try and get apache to serve html files properly and to have apache use mod_rewrite as default on ANY folder whether inside or outside the document root, I can give that person full ssh access. I've got to the point now, that I don't really give a damn what happens to the server.
What I should be able to do, is, leave the apache and php setting as default,,, upload either an html or php file to the document root and direct a browser to the address, and it'll work without changing a single item, the same is if that file has rewrite, it should work flawless, or if I upload an html or php file to a folder outside the doc root, I change the doc redirect to point to the folder, and it should work without changing anything else.

I have a domain.com site up and running on my server. I just bought domain.net, domain.org and I would like it to point to the same site on domain.com. I am not sure how to go about doing this.I used zoneedit for my dns. So far I have pointed my 2 new domains to the same dns as my .com on zoneedit and I have created (A) ip address for them. If I did this correctly, the new domains are pointing to my server and all is left is to edit the virtualhost?

I have Joomla installed at /var/www/joomla, if I navigate to http://localhost/joomla, I get a 404 error, but if I add index.php, the page loads. What is wrong?? Also I am not able to navigate to the administration part of Joomla for the same reason, typing in index.php doesn't load it in this case. Yes I have verified that all files are present in the directory.

My samba domain controller will not serve up scripts upon login, and acts very slow when not connected to the Internet. Also, network browsing from windows boxes shows no computers on the network once all this happens. Once the net connection comes back up, everything is fine.
Domain server:
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Samba 3.4.7
Router: Smoothwall Express 3.0-polar-i386 3.0 (update6). Router is set up as DHCP, and appears to be serving up normal IP's when the Internet connection goes down. I can ping the domain server at its normal IP when the connection goes down.
Heres my smb.conf:
Code:
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
passwd chat = *Entersnews*spassword:* %n
*Retypesnews*spassword:* %n
[code]....
This only happens when our internet connection goes down. When its up, everything is works fine.

I have a domain, dns hosted, and apache serving up pages. this all works fine, so far. i even have a cms running. my confusion starts when i try to host a different site under a subdomain, ie. sub.mydomain.com.i have two vhosts in apache. one is mydomain.com and the directory is /var/www/mydomain.but, when i try to add another vhost like webmail.mydomain.com, and i try to put the root directory in /var/www/webmail, it doesn't work. when i try to access webmail.mydomain.com, i just get the site on mydomain.com.I feel like i am just missing something really simple here, but i have tried searching around for solutions to no avail.

I'm trying to capture a video from a site in Japan. Unfortunately, most of the video downloader tools don't seem to work. Since I'm using Firefox I'm guessing I can't look in my local cache. Is there any way to find it?They might block you if you're not in Japan. I used to use a proxy server when I was in the US but after a while it didn't work.

I'm looking to find out how many times a file has been displayed on the web. I've setup Google Analytics link tracking but I'm trying to figure out how many times BEFORE Google analytics was setup people clicked and viewed a pdf file.
Is there a script that I could run through the log files to find out how many times it has been served?

A Linux (CentOS5.3) server is setup with apache reverse proxy. The reverse proxy server is opened to outside and an internal server is mapped to ProxyPass configuration. SSL certificate is also installed on the Apache reverse proxy server. The problem is, it is extremely slow in serving http requests through reverse proxy. There is no problem with server resources or bandwidth. When the internal server is directly accessed through Internet, there is no delay. The backend server and the reverse proxy server are also on the same switch (same subnet). When I searched the Net, there were recommendations to enable cache in Apache. I did so as follows in httpd.conf.
<IfModule mod_disk_cache.c>
CacheEnable disk /
CacheRoot "/var/cache/mod_proxy"
CacheDirLevels 5
CacheDirLength 3
</IfModule>
But still there is no progress. Do I want to enable cache in ssl.conf too? Or is there any other workaround to speed up Apache reverse proxy. Is there a way to check that caching is happening?

I'll preface this by saying i'm by no means an expert on Linux. A competant beginner at most.We have a dedicated server, the 'resolv.conf' was changed, specifically the domain that was listed (this is the primary domain).I only became aware of this change, when we get into work on Friday and all our sites were down - I attributed this to DNS fault as if I changed my host file (I work on a windows machine) and specifically routed to the domains to the correct IP address, the websites were served fine.I tracked down the resolv.conf change by quizzing a collegue. I then switched the resolv.conf file back to it's original state - luckily a backup was made so I am 100% sure that the current resolv.conf is the correct one.
change was made Friday morning, around 9.30am (UK time). It is now 5.05pm (UK time). The original change was made sometime on Weds afternoon, and the sites stopped serving between Thursday night and Friday morning.Does anyone have any idea how long it should take for the fix to be picked up? Will it be picked up? I just started to think that the change can't be picked up due to some DNS related voodoo.

I have a linux box (fedora) with two ethernet cards eth1 and eth2. On eth1 I successfully configured a PPPOE internet connection. Such that from the server I can browse the internet. On eth2 I wired it to a wireless router essentially to provide the wireless cloud. On eth2 I also configured dhcp, such that the Linux box is both PPPOE and DHCP server.However my clients on the LAN cannot access the Internet.
On passing the routing command I get
Destination Gateway Iface
196.44.x.y 0.0.0.0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 eth2 (my subnet)
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ppp0.
The router (functioning as a wireless access point mainly) has a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.2 and eth2 has IP address 192.168.1.1. The dhcp file running on Linux has been set with option router (Gateway) 192.168.1.1. I cannot figure out how to correctly set the routing table such that my clients on wireless can access the internet cloud. I googled and googled but no solid solution. Any suggestions?

I want to connect my newly created Gentoo DAW to a Fedora 12 PC, for file sharing and Internet purposes. The Fedora PC has 2 NICs, where one of them is connected to the apartment's Router. The Gentoo PC has 1 NIC. I am using a crossover Ethernet cable for connecting them. [UPDATE] I changed to crossover cable, now my two machines are able to ping each other! Here's the IPs:
PC1(Gentoo): 192.168.1.2
PC2(Fedora): 192.168.1.3 --- PC2(Fedora) to Router IP: 192.168.0.10
Router's IP: 192.168.0.1
All I need now is for PC1 to enter the internet... How do I proceed from this point?

I've been tinkering around with Linux over the past couple weeks. I've played arodn with both Ubuntu 10.10 and Linux Mint 10 and it's been a 99% positive experience. I have noticed an issue regarding my internet connection.
I've noticed when I download a file in Ubuntu (either from the software manager, BitTorrent or just a regular download in Firefox), browsing the web on my computer becomes near impossible. The download itself runs at a good speed for our DSL connection (around 200 KB/sec) but anything else near a standstill. Just loading ESPN.com on my PC can take a minute or two. Someone else playing a game in the house will go from a regular 100-200 ms ping to 5000+ right when the download starts. When I stop the download, internet browsing and gaming speeds go right back to normal.
The weird thing is the same thing happened when I installed Linux Mint 10. When I boot into my Vista partition, this isn't an issue. Downloading a file in Vista doesn't affect anything, but it's happening every time in both Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

When I copy and paste something from a web site, links to pictures are inserted, not actual pictures.
When I disconnect from the Internet, I cannot see pictures which is annoying.
Do you know how to make LibreOffice copy and paste actual pictures into a Writer document?

Blue sky thinking at the moment:I have a number of file servers, each at different sites. I would like to be able to make these appear as one, so that files on any server can be accessed from any site, and the user doesn't even see there are multiple servers.Obviously, the internet is slow, especially the upload speeds. So when a file is written the write ought to go to the server on the client's LAN - even if it was previously on another of the servers.However, for robustness, some sort of background mirroring is also wanted. If all the servers were left on and connected, they eventually end up all in sync. But this mirroring needs to be mindful of bandwidth usage; if someone writes a big file to their local server, copying that to the other servers can't interfere with normal internet usage.I think UnionFS or similar might be able to handle the unioning side, but not the mirroring stuff.

I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I need a download manager that can pause download whenever there is a network interruption, keeps pinging to check if the network is back on.. and then continues file download seamlessly.
Though this feature seems basic to download managers, so far I ve never seen it working well in Linux at all... I live in a place where voltage fluctuations and thereby internet disconnection is common, around this time of the year.. So I am desperate for a nice download manager. I had seen 'Star downloader' in Win XP work like a charm. But Kget and Gwget drive me nuts.. As soon as the internet is down, Gwget keeps displaying the same download speed and 'Retrieving...' status and. I need to keep checking in and resuming download.

I understand that you can "rpm -i <packagename>" to install an rpm file downloaded from the internet, but is that the best way to install an rpm package? Is it possible to use yum to install an rpm file downloaded from the internet, if so, is that a better method?
