I'm somewhat new to Red Hat and Linux in general. I've been reading that you can use YUM to update Linux servers. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on setting this up? Everything I've been reading is general and vague. I'm looking for a way to keep all our Linux servers updated with critical and security patches from Red Hat. Does this require a subscription or is it free?

I've tried to update my Lineage2 client from official server but the update crash, tried to open the web page it didn't open. Also tried to open microsoft web it didn't open. When i try to open the same pages on PC with F10 they open with no problem.

I have Ubuntu Karmic 64-bit installed. Update manager tells me there are updates available, but when i try to install them, downloading the updates fail and throws this error:
Code:
Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6-i386_2.10.1-0ubuntu16_amd64.deb
Consequently, a similar error occurs when I try installing Sun Java 6 Runtime.

Ubuntu Restricted Extras stalls when it's time to download the Java package I tried synaptic, update manager, aptitude, apt-get, and they all throw similar errors. Then I also tried connecting to different servers, to no avail. So to check if it's my connection to the net that has problems somehow, I tried downloading the file directly through my web browser, and it works. (But it's not recommended, and it won't let me!, install the updates manually, right?) I tried searching for the errors on the net and in the forums, and they're all somehow related to proxy servers. I then checked if I'm using some inappropriate proxy settings, and everywhere it's all set up to connect to the net directly, which is, well, my setup.
Take note though, that I am able to install other softwares normally, i.e, using synaptic, apt-get etc. The ones I tried include Pidgin and Mplayer. It's just these updates and Java:
Code:
jeanne@jeanne-desktop:~$ sudo sudo aptitude upgrade

I was running 10.04 LTS and had decided to stick to the LTS versions as I'm now running my machine as a server and don't want to be updating regularly.Every time I logged in via SSH I got a message telling me there where packages to update including a security update. So I did a search to find out how to perform an update on Ubuntu server from the command line.What I found was to do this:sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get dist-upgradeAfter doing that I rebooted but now my machine gives me this message:
init: ureadahead-other main process (794) terminated with status 4Your disk drives are being checked for errors, this may take some timePress C to cancel all checks currently inprogressI'm not pressing C yet and leaving it alone to finish, but I noticed when the machine booted that one of the options for booting talked about Ubuntu 10.10, so I'm worried that I've updated from 10.04 LTS to 10.10 by accident?
I'm looking to setup pulp for patch/update managment. I've managed to install it OK, along with the many dependencies. I'm using CentOS 5.5 on a VMWare virtual machine.
When I try to start it for the first time, I get the following...
# service pulp-server start
Pulp database not initialized, please run: /etc/init.d/pulp-server init
...so I start it with the init parameter...
# service pulp-server init

...so it looks like it tries to start, and then gets a segmentation fault and shuts down.
Problem with my Internet connection. I can't connect to the update servers. I don't know why. It's a brand new installation, not a week old yet. I can't install the support for restricted media for example. The servers won't refresh in YaST. It tells me it can't download the repomd.xml.asc.
The other problem is that some servers on the web won't load for me either.
For example, I get most of my local news from The Toronto Star, and I can't connect to it's website at all.
I can from Windows (I dual boot) but not SUSE. I don't think its a problem limited to that one website either. I am able to connect to most websites though.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI managed to install a networked printer to my box by
apt-get install system-config-printer-common system-config-printer-gnome
And using the system-config-printer, I can send print test page and it works.
Now, I noticed that I don't have lpr installed on this box.
So even if I install lpr or lprng I cannot seem to make it work.
Ohh and by the way, the only thing I use to print from that box is Acrobat Reader 9.. it is proprelly installed. I can see the networked printer entry from the program.. but for some reason Acrobat Reader 9 needs to use lpr to send the print job.
I wish to know what I am missing here.
I can do lpstat -v and I see my printer entry from there.
Now: the question: how can I setup lpr to work with my networked printer?
Should I install lpr or lprng?
What is the proper way to install a networked printer under Ubuntu-server?

I am having trouble setting up my second network interface on Ubuntu Server 10.04. When setting up the machine it did detect both cards but I only picked one to configure, and now I want to setup the second.
I went into /etc/interfaces and basically copied the settings for eth0 but changed the IP and the name to eth1. I then restarted.
Quite honestly it might be working! But when I run ifconfig -a I see no packets I see
Quote:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0e:0c:59:af:c4

isn't that what "UP BROADCAST...." line means?
So perhaps my question is how do I test my 2nd interface? I tried using the 2nd IP with Putty (which is how I usually work on the machine) and couldn't connect.

I want to set up Ubuntu Server 10.04 on a computer I have lying around, set up a database for storing information, and a website for accessing it, which is only avaliable on my local network (it would just have an IP address on my local network). How would I do something like this?
I want to set it up on probably a Dell, and I want to be able to have multiple fields on the website that people see when they go to that IP address where they can enter information to be recorded in the database, and then be able to easily access it with a login, which different people would have different ones, so they can see just the information they entered..

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I've got a box running 10.04LTS Server, and on it is running the latest build of Apache2.It's a home box - a server set up for the sole purpose of experimenting and having fun with. So far, the fun is mostly breaking it over SSH and then fixing it when I get home and can log into it via recovery.What I really want to do is to get this box set up with Apache2 the way it seems like it was designed - with Apache2 serving web pages from its default file location (/var/www) but also being able to log in and upload/download new web page files to that directory over SCP or SFTP. I keep hitting snags.Here's what I've done so far:
1. The server is set up in a DMZ at home and my router updates a Dynamic DNS record; so far I can SSH into it no problem.
2. Apache is working. I get my "it works!" page when I enter either the IP or the dyndns domain name.
3. SFTP is sort of working. I can log on using WinSCP and see the files and download them, but I can't upload to the default directory with my normal login.
Here's my issues: 1. I want to set up Apache *correctly*. To me, that means leaving it pointing to the default directory, but still being able to upload to that directory. I have not (and probably will not) enable the root account. I've set the permissions to 755. I've tried chown'ing the directory, but then it seems I can't view the webpages.As a workaround, I created a www folder in my default user home directory and pointed Apache2 there in the 'default' file in /etc/apache2/sites-available. The changes read as follows:
Code:
DocumentRoot /home/username/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks[code]...
That gives me a workaround for the default directory SFTP issue, but I would rather learn what I need to do to have it set up and working with default values.
2. You may notice I added Includes under the Options. My goal is to get server-side includes working. But they aren't. I have some existing webpages my work has set up - I using these as a template to use to adapt a flash movie I made to a specific resolution, as well as to learn how to optimize my flash for a webpage. Our webhost uses virtual hosting; I am not yet doing so. I'm not sure what they've done to set up the server-side includes, but the files they are using are all html files - no shtml. The include files themselves have either .htm or .html extensions. All of the pages have .html extensions.
My reading said that I need mod_include installed in Apache2. Where can I check to see that it is installed? Where do I need to add the Includes under Options?Is it in the right place? And finally, where do I need to add XBitHack on to enable it? This is the method that Apache suggests, but the documentation offers no clue as to where to put it. Most of the documentation out there refers to apache.conf, but that's the Apache 1.3 way of doing things.I really just want this to be set up according to the defaults as much as possible.I want to have a good working knowledge of Apache and of how to set it up and configure it, but dang it if it isn't a frustrating process.
I have never used this software at all and am running a Win XP server for a n in house web site using Joomla. My XP box started to give problems as of today. So now I need to rebuild a web server box. I have always been told that Ubuntu is the way to go.

I will be getting an old and decrepit laptop (the PS2 channel went out). I have decided that I would like to set it up to be an email and minor data server. The only problem exists that I have never setup a server, yet alone a linux server before.
I want the server to allow user authenticated access to a certain folder on the machine where other clients can go and copy and paste files for the data server portions and I want it to download emails from multiple domains (Gmail, a Microsoft Exchange Server, and from a private domain) and then allow other clients to log in and download those messages (I would like to keep each domain's emails separate so the client has to specify which domain's emails to download).
I have a small home network running mail agents Evolution and Thunderbird, and connected to the internet via Comcast. Originally I used my campus office computer as a mail server, but encountered problmes because Comcast started blocking port 25, allegedly because of span problems.

Can anyone recommend a tutorial which tells me everything to do in order to accomplish that?

View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I've got a home server hosting a website for my restaurant, but I'd like to get another server up to get some redundancy going.
I have another machine I'd like to set up at another location to take over retrieving requests sent for the website whenever my home server goes down. I've got my domain through [URL], but the domain is hosted through [URL] for their dynamic dns service (because im not using a static ip).
So I'm guessing having another server set up is just a matter of setting up dns records, however I don't know where to begin with setting that up. Any words of wisdom out there?

one of the servers is the "main guy" which has NIS and NFS. the others mount the partition and can log in whith the same "main" account.
my problem is that i need to call a startup script "settings.sh" to set some enviroment variables for the cluster to work.
this script is on the NFS folder.
i would like if possible to call this script as early as possible, even before login phase, since they are servers and can be shutdown, restarted, etc.
at the moment i need to log via ssh into every one of the 4 nodes and do "source /opt/cfc/sge/default/common/settings.sh" manually each time they reboot.
i would like to put this script somewhere so that it gets called after the NFS mount, but without the need to log into an account. is possible?
otherwise i could set the nodes to automatically login into the main account..
im a little confused on something really simple, i know. But on the past i always used .bash_rc, this time i dont want to take that solution.
Ok so I got my server running with apache2. I can access it via the web with my static IP.
I registered on Godaddy for a domain, and sucessfully setup URL forwarding. When I type in that domain it takes me to my website, but the browser shows the IP address again. Should I not be using "URL forwarding"? I'm guessing I have to do something on my server side saying what domain it is but I don't know which file to change and I am scared to touch anything. Although I'm a programmer, I'm not a network person.
