Software :: Recommended CMS For A Web Configuration Tool ?
May 18, 2011
I have inherited a web configuration tool based on mojoportal (which uses C#). As the web server hosting this site is on a Linux machine (currently Ubuntu + mono), I would like to recreate it in a more Linux-natural environment.
The web application I inherited needs to allow creation of configuration profiles for other Linuxes(including setting their IP tables, QoS and many other network protocols). These profiles are downloaded by the Linux clients and a local parser does the configuration accordingly.
The main properties I need are:
* Receive and display a lot of structured data to the user (i.e. iptables chains or QoS hierarchies) and of course process it
* Manage several users with different permissions
* Use MySQL as the database
* Allow FTP access to receive configuration files created
* Display monitoring data and graphs (a low-level NMS)
I do not need forums, blogs or any other user input apart from entering data in the forms (possibly a text editor, but that's about it)
I used to be very proficient in Python and Perl (so am sure it would be easy to regain these abilities) and am versed in SQL. I know HTTP and CGI but never worked with PHP.

I am building an email server in what I consider to be a 'small business'. I would say my Postfix mail server will house 300 mailboxes (Max). I have a decent server with enough RAM / disk space to run this email server however I don't know what the best way is to manage / configure the users mail boxes.
how to create a new user on the Linux server using 'adduser / useradd' and then setting their shell to /bin/nologin. This is because the mail user will never need to log into the shell of the mail server directly and can still populate email from their mailbox which is located in their /home/$user directory. Now many people I spoke with have advised me that this is a bad and cumbersome method of account administration.
I am running:
Postfix 2.5
Clamav v0.94.2
Amavisd-new 2.5.4
Dovecot 1.0.7
Spamassassin 3.2.5

I am running a server that has Etch on it. I have only recently been given this responsibility as I am the "IT-guy". I am running postifx, squid, shorewall, courier, samba and other things. The network has about 75 users with emails and data. I do not want to do anything that would risk their data and emails getting lost.
Is it still recommended that I upgrade to Lenny and then Squeeze?

I noticed, that the "official" Compiz-Configuration-Tool is not functionable. I change the properties of some effects, and even after reboot, no change can be seen.Then there is the tiny Fedora-Compiz-Tool. The settings I'm setting here are applied immediately.Is that a normal behaviour? Could it be that the official Compiz-Config-Tool is not compatible with the Fedora-Compiz?

I've installed and reinstalled the Tool several times and it doesn't do anything. I get the prompt to input my password, which I know I put in correctly. It then just disappears. If I try running the tool again, I see a window pop up at the bottom of my screen for a half a second then disappear. I'm running Maverick with Win7 dual-booting and trying to use the tool to auto-mount several partitions

I just upgraded (via backup and install) from 11.1 to 11.2. SaX2 was perfect for configuring my IBM SpaceSaver (Trackpoint) USB keyboard, and my Logitech Marble Mouse. Now that SaX2 doesn't have the keyboard or mouse, eh... modules?, I don't know how I can configure them the way I'd like.
What now? I'd rather not have to use the on-screen keyboard every time I start up openSUSE to turn off NumLock... Do I have to manually edit /etc/xorg.conf now?

I tried installing NFTS Configuration Tool to auto-mount several partitions at startup, but the Configuration Tool isn't working. I've entered the terminal line to update it, but it still won't even start.
What happens is when I click on NFTS Configuration Tool under System - Administration, I'll get the prompt to enter my Administrative password. I enter it and click Ok, but then it just disappears. If I try running the Tool again, I see a window come up at the bottom of my screen titled 'System Administrative' for about half a second then disappear. If I restart or suspend and try again, I still get the same nagging problem.

Is there any Linux tool to create new or modify exiting key/value pairs in text configuration files? For example, to change a setting in xorg.conf, or change something in etc/networking/interfaces? I know it could be done by sed or by perl scripts, but it could be easier to have a program for this purpose. There are many difficulties for this job that the program should consider, and I am facing nearly all of them:
- Some configuration files may have sections. Like in Windows-type INI files (for example: "[something]"), or like Section in xorg.conf. More sections with the same name can occur, like in xorg.conf.
- If the key/value pair originally does not exist, then the program should add it. But not to the end of the file, but tothe end of a predefined section.
- Config files can have remark lines. Remark text can be even at the same line than the key/value pair. After modifying the value, the original remark text should not change at the end of the line. The remark-starting symbol is not always.
- The values in configuration files are not always simple numbers or simple words, but in rare cases, they are composed by more words, for example: item=name address phone
And of course, we can have remark at the end, like this: item=name address phone # remark text
- The key-value separator depends on the file. Some files use "key=value" format, some other use "key value" format, or even "key1 key2 value", like xorg.conf. The as separator can also occur.
- Case sensitivity can also be an issue.
- Sometime to desired task is not to modify a value, but to add or remove a line beginning remark to a certain line.
I think that managing all these possible cases by a perl or sed program is nearly impossible. I begun to write a C program, but maybe there is already one?

Using jessie over 4.2.8 or 4.3.4 kernel.
Used both the default bluez package, 5.23 and building bluez 5.36 by hand.
hciconfig shows a good configuration,
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: UART
BD Address: 78:A5:04:31:3C:4B ACL MTU: 1021:6 SCO MTU: 180:4
UP RUNNING
RX bytes:82105 acl:0 sco:0 events:1989 errors:0
TX bytes:516 acl:0 sco:0 commands:48 errors:0
hcidump -x does show Commands/Events received, beacons are being seen, and collected by our app.
> HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 42
LE Advertising Report
ADV_IND - Connectable undirected advertising (0)
bdaddr F9:77:66:E8:F7:8B (Random)
Flags: 0x06
[Code] ....
However when the app tries to connect it always gets connection refused at gatt_connect.
gatttool behaves the same way, and hcidump does not show any connection attempts, implying no connection between gatttool and the device, although it is specified on the command line.
Finally although the bluetoothd is running bluetoothctl also shows no default controller found. I had edited /etc/bluetooth/uart.conf, adding an hciattach entry for the device but that changed nothing when restarting the bluetoothd. Entering a garbage entry into that file does not produce any errors, so I am not sure it is even being read.
Also systemctl|grep bluetooth shows :-
sys-devices-virtual-bluetooth-hci0-rfkill0.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/virtual/bluetooth/hci0/rfkill0
sys-devices-virtual-bluetooth-hci0.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/virtual/bluetooth/hci0
sys-subsystem-bluetooth-devices-hci0.device loaded active plugged /sys/subsystem/bluetooth/devices/hci0
bluetooth.target loaded active active Bluetooth
/sys/devices/virtual/bluetooth/hci0/address shows the correct MAC, but /sys/subsystem/bluetooth/devices/hci0 does not exist, a post elsewhere indicated this was not a problem but that seems odd.
Is the uart.conf file still used([URL] .... would suggest yes) and if so is the format a full hciattach command or merely the hciattach parameters?

I am demo'ing Kubuntu 9.04 workstation to a customer. He has a CentOS 5.3 server (my doing). On it is our CUPS Network file server. Everyone (65 of them) print to our network printer through it using LPR/LPD (and sometimes Samba).
Problem: when Kubuntu's Print Configuration Tool went looking for printers, it found every network printer's IP address, but missed my CUPS printer server. What did I do wrong on one or both ends (I have control over both).

I'm using debian 5 x64 with xfce.Is there a way to configure (start/stop/restart) services (especially Apache2, mySQL and PHP) using a graphical or cli tool? I tried to use sysv-rc, sysv-rc-conf, rcconf and rc-conf in the terminal but Bash didn't find them (Although Synaptic show that sysv-rc is installed).

I am unable to add my USB printer via the YaST2 Printer Configuration setup tool in openSUSE 11.3. The printer, a Dell Color Laser 1320c, was last used with openSUSE 11.2, and setup was entirely uneventful. No driver is provided by Dell, so I used the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A Linux driver. The problem: To add a print queue in 11.3, a Connection must be specified (parallel, USB, network, etc). However, the configuration wizard fails to show the presence of the USB print device.
[Code]...
This printer was working just eight weeks ago under 11.2, and 11.3 is obviously able to detect its presence and identify it correctly. I feel certain the solution is simple, but I haven't found documentation that provides the answer.

we have a weird problem with our opensuse 11.2 server installation.
We want to set up a LDAP Server using the Yast-LDAP Server configuriation tool.
This indeed already worked weeks ago until....this week.
Maybe some updates??!
I do not know what happend exactly. The server just does not want to start again and throws following error:
Starting ldap-serverstartproc: exit status of parent of /usr/lib/openldap/slapd: 1 failed
This happend after a little check of the configuration, but without a change, with Yast. Google delivered only "reinstall your box"-answers.
So.. i did that. And now the "mystical" part: The SAME ERROR occurs with a fresh vanilla system with a brand new and simple configuration (certificats, database, pw...the first Yast config dialog...). I did not change the way i set it up.
I remember, when i did this the first time with 11.2 on that machine, when no problems occured...everything was running out of the box (except the "use commen server certificate" option...).

So I'm getting a new laptop soon, and it ships with Windows 7 64-bit. So I assume I have to use 10.04 64-bit. I noticed that the download page says "not recommended for daily use". I was wondering why this is, and if there were any things I need to look out for when using Ubuntu and 64-bit. I read the older FAQ thread in the closed 64-bit forum, but I wanted to make sure I got more recent information.

I am running a very stable F13 on my little box and I was thinking to upgrade from F13 directly to F15 using the preupgrade-cli tool. Is this recommended, or should I go to F14 first? I would like to skip that step:
The F13 is my home server with a lot of services:
- IMAP (dovecot)
- Postfix
- Postgresql
- apache (tons of php)
- vmware workstation 7.1.4
- dhcpd
- named
- samba
- squid
I am worried that the upgrade will break something. I spent a lot of time setting these things up.

I've been having some issues with the speed of firefox recently (on a netbook) and have been trying out other browsers such as chrome and midori. Currently I'm using xmarks, which fits my needs nicely however, I'm looking for an alternative that gives similar functionality and would allow me to access my bookmarks from several different computers (using both midori and chrome browsers).
xmarks has a development version for chrome, which is not working at the moment, and I cannot find any plans for xmarks in midori.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 but I can only use Windows 7 now (I hate it). Here's why: when I go to the boot screen and I am given the choice of using Windows 7 or Ubuntu and I select Ubuntu, the screen goes black and says:
error: unknown command 'loadfont' error: file not found
Then I have to reset my laptop and use Windows 7. This happened when I was using Ubuntu like I usually did and I downloaded recommended updates from Ubuntu. I downloaded them and I was asked to reset my laptop for it to be effective. I did and when the boot screen came up it said what it says above. I can't even get to the login screen. I've been searching everywhere for an answer.

I have just bought a single board computer that has linux running on it and am trying to get bluetooth communications going between the SBC and my PC. The board can be found here [URL].. I was hoping i could buy two usb dongles, one to bluetooth enable my pc and the other to plug into the usb port on the SBC to setup 2 way comms. However I get the impression this sounds far simpler to implement than it will be in practice.
Could anyone offer some suggestions to dongles that are linux compatible and how to go about implementing them into my project?
