I'm really new to this subject. Instead of purchasing hosting services from another party, what requirements are necessary to host a domain yourself, i.e.:
1. Minimal connection speed
2. Minimal hardware requirements, e.g. disc space
3. Effort to host domain and secure Slackware
4. Will an average ISP provide sufficient reliability, i.e. uptime, and bandwidth?
I have installed CentOS 5.4 machine named test.example.com (192.168.1.1)File /etc/hosts contains:127.0.0.1 test.example.com test localhost.localdomain localhostI have read that the loopback addres should not be assigned to host name,only to localhost and the host name should be assigned to 192.168.1.1, like this:127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost192.168.1.1 test.example.com testIs there any reason why it should be one or another way?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a domain I have never used for some years, the registrar put some adds in it, now I have hosted and configured this domain as a VPS and have started to put files in it but when I enter the domain in the browser, it still displays the adds index of the registrar although I have my own index file in /var/www/. I thought the domain was automatically "taken over" (I do not know the correct technical expression) by the hosting company when my hosting is accepted by the host after they install a bare distro. Obviously, my expectation was incorrect and there is something else I need to do.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Ubuntu Server that is correctly set up and has been working for awhile. It currently has a domain (Registered by GoDaddy) and it is used as the main. I just bought another domain (From GoDaddy) and I want it to connect to the same server but a different section to host a second site completely separate from the first.
So this is how I want it to be setup:
Domain1 = /var/www/
Domain2 = /var/www/website2
When I put Domain1 in the url like www.domain1.com it will connect to /var/www/
When I put Domain2 in the url like www.domain2.com it will connect to /var/www/website2
I'm running CentOS 5.4 with sendmail. My computer hostname is bob.domain.com. Whenever I would nc -v 127.0.0.1 25 into sendmail I would get bob.domain.com on the banner. Whenever I send out email the emails would be user@bob.domain.com. I wanted the email to show up as user@domain.com. So in the etc/mail/sendmail.cf file I changed the line
Code:
Dj$w.hostname.com
to this
Code:
Djhostname.com
Now when I enter sendmail I see domain.com in the banner so I know the change took place. However, when I send email using
Code:
mail -s "test" xxx@xxx.com
then email still goes out as user@bob.domain.com. What other changes do I need to make?
I want to use single label host names on my local LAN, without using any domain (at least no registered one). My machines should be named in a fashion similar to 'myserver', 'mydesktop' etc. so that i from a browser on any LAN machine may write 'http://myserver', and get the webserver on 'myserver' (so NO domain part, e.g. myserver.domain).
Do i need to create a DNS zone for each host or is there a way to put all host in a single zone, if so; which? Would such a name be considered a root domain?
While in YAST2, everything seems to save fine except for the information in the "Host Name and Domain Server Configuration" screen. I have two servers side by side, the one works perfectly fine, the one does not. I can save the IP address and changes to DHCP and Static, but when I enter in the information for the Domain Name and Host Name, I click next, it saves, but when I go back in to it, the items I set are blank again. The boxes are not greyed out, you can type information in without error. When entering YAST, it requests the root pw which also works fine. I am not using any strange characters other than letters/numbers. I am going in to the screen by clicking network devices-->Netword Card-->Host Name and Name Server.

I have a server which runs postfix. The same physical server is running web and mail services for several (3) domains, which I have reserved for future use (nothing serious or valuable, just freetime activities). Server "physical" address (also static IP) is myhost.domain.com. Lets say the other domains it serves are first.fi, second.net ad third.com. I can receive mails OK sent to all of these, I have added those 3 "extra" domains to the mydestination line in main.cf. Sending e-mails also works fine, but the sender is [URL].. I want the sender to be firstname@first.fi
I tried setting sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical in main.cf, and sender_canonical contains:
user1 Firstname1@first.fi
user2 Firstname2@first.fi
and I run postmap /etc/postfix/sender_canonical, and e-started postfix. But if I send e-mail as user1, the sender becomes [URl].. so it re-writed the username part, but hot the hostname/domain part. I also tried setting smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic but the results were similar. What do I need to do to re-write sender for user1 (regardless of host/domain) to Firstname1@first.fi?
i am trying to get postfix to relay through my isp's smtp server, but i am getting an error.Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=mail.grandecom.net type=A: Host not found, try again...i can send mail inside my domain, but when i try to send an email to a test gmail address i find the above error in the log.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am managing a Fedora dedicated server with Plesk 9 and just recently moved the email for one of the domains on the server to Google Apps for business. Unfortunately, I cannot get email messages from the website forms to deliver to addresses on this domain. For anyone familiar with Plesk, I have disabled mail in the hosting settings by un-checking the "Activate mail service on domain" checkbox and there are no accounts in the domain. (Other readings have indicated that this should be enough to allow mail to be directed to the appropriate server). My MX records correctly point to the google apps mail server.
I'm quite comfortable with command line, but I know almost nothing about the sendmail program or its alternatives and my attempts at researching how to set up this relay has been futile. I'm pretty sure I'm using sendmail and not qmail or anything else from what the red-hat style "alternatives" symlinks point to. I've also checked the /etc/mail/access, domaintable, mailertable, sendmail.cf, virtusertable, local-host-names, sendmail.cf, and submit.cf and most of these files are empty (except the .cf files), and the sendmail.cf and submit.cf make no reference to the domain in question.
Here is the output from a sendmail test that was was not received. (Private data omitted of course).

Ok, I have a couple of SMTP servers for our infrastructure. They are running Postfix. I have them configured so that specific email addresses such as support@mydomain.com and billing@mydomain.com all go to a new support server that I am building with osTicket. Lets call that server SUPP1.
SUPP1 runs sendmail from the default install of CentOS 5 i386. At this point everything runs great. New emails get added into the osTicket system via a pipe in sendmail. Here's where the problem comes in. In order to accept mail, sendmail has to have the domain listed in local-host-names and the addresses in virtusertable. That works just dandy. But in doing so, sendmail believes it is the destination SMTP server for "mydomain.com". That means that I can't send mail from that server back into my normal SMTP servers. So things like the LogWatch, cron jobs, etc can't send notifications. Is there a way to work around that? For sendmail to ignore local-host-names for outbound email or something?
I have setup a home based web server to host a photo blog for myself and my friends. I will be running wordpress and possibly a phpbb3 forum. I'd like to open this to discuss server administration, server setup, and server maintenance. However, I have a pretty good start on all of those but serving a domain name to my static ip. Here my static ip is 24.10.202.144. I registered a domain through [URL]... It appears that I have the domain working to forward to my ip. However, I am still getting this output file from apache.
[code]...
I have tested the domain name across a few different computers on different ips. It works appropriately. I just want to make sure I have it set correctly on the (apache) server side of things. Then I can get more into Zone Editing etc.
Google searches for "secure locate Kevin Lindsay" and "secure locate source" do not show any signs of ongoing maintenance, but do bring up a few security advisories related, afaict, to memory corruption. If it's a Google problem, sorry in advance to the maintainer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm an Oracle DBA and started working for my current employer about 4 months ago. This past weekend an alert re: FS space brought my attention to /var/spool/clientmqueue (full of mail re: cron jobs) and the fact that sendmail is not running on our Linux servers.I'm told that the IT security team deemed sendmail too vulnerable so we don't run it.Aside from FS filling up and missing notification of issues with crontab entries, I'm concerned that we may be missing notification of potential issues. In other Unix/Linux environments I've seen emails from the print daemon when it experienced problems with specific jobs.
Are there other Linux facilities aside from cron and lpd that use email to advise the users of possible issues? Are there ways to secure sendmail or secure alternatives to sendmail? My primary need/desire is to make sure that emails regarding issues on the server get to the appropriate users. Secondary goal would be to have the ability to use mailx to send mail out. There is No need/desire to receive mail from outside.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI posted here a couple weeks ago about my wireless issues and someone suggested I download an update of firmware for my Broadcom wireless card. The problem is I can't even connect to the Internet with a wired/Auto Ethernet connection in order to download said firmware. I tried downloading it on a different computer then using a flash drive to transfer it, but when I opened it on my computer, a message popped up saying the files were corrupted (this happens every time I try to install any program/update from a flash drive). So I tried today to use the wired connection to download the firmware but a) it wouldn't recognize the connection, so I deleted the AutoEthernet connection, rebooted, and activated the new one, as per the solution I'd read in a different thread on the forums. The wired connection worked, but only intermittently--it disconnects about every minute or so--and even when I'm connected, Firefox won't load any pages so I still can't get the update I need for my card.
I feel like I'm out of options here--I've been having this problem for about 7 months and I, or my much more Linux-savvy acquaintance, have not been able to figure out the problem. I'm thinking the only solution at this point is to go back to running Windows, which I really don't want to have to do.
Am quite new to Ubuntu (10.04) and have recently reinstalled XP. I want to make an image of my windows partition to save time and effort when wanting to restore this. I read the Ubuntu documentation on Drive Imaging [URL]..community/DriveImaging and am wondering if I've done things ok?
I've booted using the Live CD. Windows is on sda1 and is a 50GB partition. I have a hidden ntfs partition on the same hard drive at sda9 of 10GB. The first time I tried this I got an error regarding my output file saying "Not a directory". I'm assuming that was because I hadn't mounted sda9. It also reported an error saying permission denied on sda1. I then mounted sda9
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda9 /mnt
I then changed to root as I thought not being in that was why I was getting the permissions error.
Code:
sudo -s
I've then done the following;
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=1024 | gzip > /mnt/sda1.bin.gz
The terminal window is just showing a flashing cursor in the bottom left corner under the above command line input. Is the fact that my mount partition being smaller than my windows partition going to cause a problem or will gzip solve that? My Windows install occupies about 7.5GB of the 50GB partion.
I'm not sure if dd is just taking a long time to complete the task???
What's the command to know the stub domain(LAN) ip address in ip4 format?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two servers relavant here: mail.domain.com (1.1.1.1) - which is the nameserver and the mail server for domain.com. www.domain.com (2.2.2.2) - which is the www subdomain for domain.com domain.com (cname www.domain.com) - an alias for www.
The zone file for domain.com lists mail.domain.com as the MX server for domain.com. 2.2.2.2 is actually being served web pages as a virtual host. It's real hostname is www.anotherdomain.com. Mail for domain.com works pretty well, in general. However, if I attempt to send mail from www.domain.com (or its alias domain.com), I get "mail for domain.com loops back to myself" in the postfix logs. On 2.2.2.2 /etc/postfix/mail.cf has mydestination = www.anotherdomain.com, localhost. How do I tell postfix on 2.2.2.2 that mail for domain.com needs to be delivered to mail.domain.com?
I have Slack 64 bit installed on my desktop, sshd is running. From my netbook running Ubuntu I can not connect through ssh, I always get 'Host key verification failed' message. I have tried a lot of things, I got to a point where I could not ssh either way. So today I removed and re-installed Openssh on both systems. I made sure I was using the new ssh_config and sshd_config files on both systems. Right now I can ssh from the desktop ( Slack ) to Ubuntu ( netbook ) but not the other way around. I do not get a known_hosts file created on Slack, I do get one on Ubuntu. I don't understand why Openssh server on Slack is not accessible, and why the known_hosts file is not getting created.

is what I have installed. Most of the suggestions I have found suggest deleting the entry for the remote host. Problem is it never gets created. How do I go about fixing this? This is a link to the last howto I followed, after the re-install of Openssh. [URL]...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem with using curl function in php on slackware machines. So far I tested this on 2 PCs. I din't test it on any other distributions, so I don't know if it's only slackware problem.
Problem is that I can't use php curl in normal way. It can be tested wit simple code:
Code:
$ch = curl_init("url");
$content = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_error($ch)) {
echo(curl_error($ch) . "<br>");
}
echo($content);
When I'm opening this php script in browser I'm getting error message:
Code:
Couldn't resolve host 'google.lv'
but I can use curl command in terminal, also it works when I run this php script in terminal like:
Code:
php ./curl_test.php
So problem is not in curl or php itself, but in apache, because this happens only when this script is running in apache.
Searching google a lot, I got to conclusion that apache can't read /etc/resolve.conf file during startup. Strange thing is that it happens only when httpd starts during system startup, but if I'm stopping httpd and starting it again manually, it works as it should until I'll reboot my PC. Restarting httpd also do not work, I need to do start -> stop.
I think that apache reads /etc/resolve.conf only when it starting up and as I have DHCP, maybe network is still not ready at the moment of httpd startup.
I didn't try to configure php as php-cgi instead of apache module, I think then it would work normally because each php script would be separate process and it would read dns information each time, so the same like starting php script in terminal with command:
Code:
php ./curl_test.php
I think there are some ways to workaround it, e.g. delay somehow start of httpd during system startup, or something like that, but I want to find reason of this problem and make it work without any workaround.
If I have a dnsmasq server and it dished out a IP address that I don't want it to and it still gives it to my machine no matter how many times I restart windows and issue ipconfig /renew|release or enable/disable the adapter, how do I force it to give my windows machine an IP I want it to have?
The only way I've accomplished this in the past is by rebooting my slackware system.
I wanna do that like this subject. And I don't have any experiences about KVM. Are there any idea about this.
