View 4 RepliesThe first backup would be all of the settings of the server.I am extremely pleased with how my server is set up and would have to have to do all of this manually again. So I would like to backup everything essential that is not in my home folder. I would like to have it compressed into a archive and automatically backed up to a external drive that I have connected. If god forbid my system ever crashed I would like to pull this archive up and have everything back up an running quickly.
The second backup as you can probably guess will be my home folder.I would like to save everything there unarchived(so I can access a single item easier). I would like this to be automatic as well.What would be the best way of doing this?
have a web application that runs fine.Whenever I run jetty manually the application runs ok. This is what I do:sudo java -jar start.jarThe application is located within the webapps directory correctly and the required jar files are within /usr/share/jetty/lib.But when I run jetty as a service:sudo service jetty startThe server starts, but the application does not respond. There is no error in the output. This is very strange, isn't it

Doing some more research it seems like this is reported in multiple places including a disussion on the official mailing list that was inconclusive. So my question is, if this is intended for a production server should I use the repository one or manually install it

Not sure why it wasn't installed on apt-get, but it wasn't.
I'd like to completely remove and start again fresh (this time with apt-get) How can I do it?
I have 1 Ubuntu server acting as a gateway / proxy and a bunch of iptables rules to log packets from each of these systems. This is done to monitor internet acces. The resulting log file grows to about 80 - 100Mb on a daily basis. I tried setting up log logrotate ( through webmin as well as manually ) to rotate this log file every night at 11:00 pm. However, the file does not get rotated. when i run logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf everything goes through fine. i get a message saying that the file qualifies for rotation and no errors.
If i manually force the rotation ( through webmin ) it happens. However, on its own, the log file does not get rotated. I am completely stumped. I tried replicating the exact same settings that are set for syslog rotation, and still no luck. All the other log files do get rotated at the appropriate time ( i have checked in the /var/log/ directory ), but this one does not. I thought it might have been because i had some prerotate and postrotate scripts. Manually forcing rotation did not generate any errors and the scripts ran without any problems. But even then, i removed those scripts, and still no luck. this is the config file for logrotate ( in /etc/logrotate.d/bcrl )

I updated the system just one day before this problem ( the second one ) surfaced, but i do not remember what got updated. is there any way to check?

Therefore I have to enable it manually upon boot so that it works.I'm using Fedora 10, fresh installed and updated. I've noticed through search that others have had this issue as well throughout other versions of Fedora, yet I have not found a conclusive solution to this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to some how get a list of the packages I installed. I was hoping that I could just list all of the packages that were not installed automatically as a dependency. It turns out that there are 320 packages that match that description (I think). Is there a way to do what I want to do? Shouldn't all of these dependencies have been installed as a handful of meta-packages instead?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently converted my old desktop computer into a server (using the ubuntu server 10.10 install disk), installed xubuntu, and have installed the driver for my WPN111 usb antenna using ndiswrapper. I then installed wicd to connect to my home network (with a WPA2 passkey). Anyways, it works great... with one major annoyance � whenever I reboot (with "sudo reboot") the computer, the wireless configuration isn't detected at all.
Code:
$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions
eth0 no wireless extensions
The only time it works is when I turn my computer off and manually turn back it on... and then "iwconfig" gives me a third entry: wlan0. The wireless then (and only then) works like a charm. The problem is, I want to be able to access this server away from home, and of course in that situation I cannot manually reboot it.
I use mt-daapd music server to stream music to a couple of network music players (which use UPnP protocols). Recently (last month or so) I have found that on restarting my ubuntu system I need to manually restart the avahi-daemon in order for the music players to be able to 'see' the music server. I think avahi-damon is running when ubuntu first starts up. The output of a ps aux shows:
[Code]...
I'd like to understand why I need to restart the avahi-daemon and either solve this or learn a way to automate restarting it on system boot up so I don't have to do it manually each time. My system is ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and the version of avahi-daemon is 0.6.25
i found this video, and i really want to do the same. *newbie needs to learn [URL]...my question is, what need to be installed and how?
is there any specific configuration to make it works?
and will it work if i want to connect from Ubuntu to Fedora ?
I'm curious if anybody can shed some light for me in this department. We're in a large environment with a Windows DHCP Server. We have been tinkering with LTSP on Edubuntu as thin and fat clients. It works great, but right now we just have 1 server handling the lab, which works fine unless we want to expand, which may be very possible.
These are the instructions I received:
Login to your windows server and load the DHCP configuration screen
Create a DHCP reservation for the MAC address you obtained
Add the configuration options below to enable the machine to boot from the LTSP server
017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386
066 Boot Server Host Name: <ip address>
067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/arch/pxelinux.0 # Specify CPU architecture in place of 'arch', for instance 'i386'

I'm curious, what if I want to have multiple Ubuntu servers on the network that I want to have bootable? For example, let's say I have 3 labs, and 3 servers. Server A to Lab A, Server B to Lab B, and Server C to Lab C. I want all C's computers to boot to C, and B to B, A to A, etc.
1 - How would I add multiple entries on the Windows DHCP Server to allow all 3 (A B C) servers to boot?
2 - How would I be able to isolate the clients so ONLY Lab A clients boot to Server A, etc?
I own a rather large website/forum devoted to Scuba utilizing vBulletin. The problem is that its become INCREDIBLY slow as of late. I have three Ubuntu web servers under a single Ubuntu load balancer and they draw from a CentOS 5 DB server running MYSQL. Here are my concerns:
-I am thinking that they are all 32 bit rather than 64 bit.
-I am thinking that the problem is an IO issue.
Last weekend i've set up my first headless ubuntu home file server and torrent downloader with ubuntu 9.10.Very cool but CPU is way too fast for a home server: P4 HT 2.8Ghz, unfortunatly it has only 256Mb of ram, so no X server and no VNC (old HP office pc) At the moment memory usage is only 40Mb without X server. Besides SSH works just fine Few questions i can't seem to find answers to on google:What is a good CL network monitoring program?mething similar to htopUbuntu 9.10 has a lot, about 20-30, console-kit deamon instanses running after boot each using some memory that i can't spare.

In trying to help our office modernize its IT infrastructure, one of the key components is maintaing our server. We have around 50-60 people who need access to a local server primarily for secure general file storage. These employees are geographically dispersed. We currently use some(?) version of Windows Server which is maintained and updated by a IT company we keep on retainer. After doing some very basic research on Ubuntu Server, I would like to try and incorporate a pilot program utilizing the Ubuntu Server software.I was successful in installing Ubuntu Server on an unused PC that I put a clean hard drive in. I have been following the direction of the Official Ubuntu Server manual to assist in the server setup, and this has progressed my cause up to a point.
Can I run an Ubuntu Server alongside our current Windows server without bring everything to a screeching halt? Additionally, I am the only mac computer in an office filled with varying version of windows. I have begun to configure samba but need some direction from the community as to updating the workgroup so my mac can connect to the Ubuntu Server. What do I need to put in the workgroup part of the /etc/samba/smb.conf directory?I have no doubt there will be face palms by the community after reading this thread, but I am trying my best to teach myself the Ubuntu way.
I've just made my old, dusty computer into an Ubuntu Server. So far, i have installed a well functioned LAMP server, to host my Website.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI support a small business which runs a headless Ubuntu Server (10.04 32bit) as a file server which is accessed by Windows machines.Although the company has it's own back-up procedure they have decided to back-up some (none sensitive) files online. The have chosen FileFactory (http://www.filefactory.com/) as the host for this. FileFactory allows files to be uploaded to their server by FTP however I do not know how to set this up on the server.
The idea, if it is possible, is to connect to FileFactory through FTP and then synchronise the data using an Rsync command.I normally access the server through Webmin and it has vsFTP installed. I can access the company's server by FTP from inside and outside of the network so I know that vsFTP is working for incomming connections however I cannot work out how to configure it to connect to the FileFactory server.

unfortunately i have absolutely no experience with servers, and i dont even know where to begin.i have done some reading up and i think my choice will be a LAMP server.now to the question, lets assume that i know nothing but html, css, JS, etc. where would be the best place to start learning about servers, how to operate within a server, and the such? and which ubuntu server OS would be the best choice? i will also post my email address for an alternate method of communication.
There is a tool appeared in repository called ktune; The purpose is to adjust some sysctl.conf settings to improve server speed on servers with heavy load. What is this tool for if one can achieve the same with the configuration file added to system startup? Or ktune is just such file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently I use FreeNAS, which is a FreeBSD-based NAS distribution for my home server. However, I would like to move to a Linux-based home server with the ability for new software packages to be installed, which is a problem with FreeNAS. I use Lucid beta on my Dell Mini 10v, and have two Windows 7 and one Windows XP desktop(s), with all of them connected via Gigabit ethernet and Wifi N.
The home server would act as a file server (SMB and whatever the best one is for my Ubuntu netbook), a media server (UPnP, MT-DAAPD/iTunes and DLNA for my PS3), as a webserver and as a VirtualBox server just to experiment with. The server itself has a 160GB PATA drive which will be for the OS, and a 1TB SATA drive to be for the data; Gigabit ethernet; an AMD Athlon 64 2.2GHz (with AMD-V) and 1GB RAM.Are there any things you would recommend for me to install? I think that having a window manager would be nice, even if just for initial setup since I am not very experienced with command-line Linux. I'm planning on installing Webmin and a VNC/SSH server so I can configure it remotely. I don't need any firewall or VPN services as these will be provided by a pfSense box separate from this.
