Ubuntu Servers :: Changing User From Www-data To Asterisk Broke Zarafa?
Jun 6, 2010
I currently have Zarafa and I am going to install MythWeb for MythTV.To solve the permission problem for installing amportal (FreePBX), I have to change Apache's user and group to Asterisk instead of this, which I've commented out:User ${APACHE_RUN_USER}Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP}Once FreePBX is installed completely, I checked to make sure FreePBX is working and it worked. I used the latest version of Asterisk from the SVN trunk, so I used ./install_amp --my-svn-is-correct.However, I want to use Zarafa AND FreePBX, I just don't like having to change the Apache User and Group to asterisk.Here is a couple of examples of instructions when installing FreePBX:Is there a workaround? I really want to change it back to what it was before while FreePBX can still access their own directories.
I did not know if this question has been asked, but I thought I'd ask here. I've added "zarafa" and "mythweb" to the tags list my thread.Update: I changed my apache configuration file back to www-data for User and Group and I do have /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin and /var/www/asterisk (where FreePBX PHP pages are installed in /var/www/asterisk) owned by asterisk:asterisk. But I get this:
Code:
Retrieve conf failed to copy file(s) from a module's agi-bin dir: copy(/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/directory): failed to open stream: Permission denied
I compiled and installed the Asterisk ztdummy package because there is no rpm for it, unfortunately, and i even reinstalled asterisk, but i still get the "No application 'Meetme' for extension..." error when trying to conference. I do a "module show", and it lists other modules that were compiled with the zt source, but not ztdummy.Does anyone know how to fix this? This is more than a passing interest or hobby, because i need to conference about 3 to 5 people to help me test a new Website Content Management System and User Forums Management System i am about to launch as a service.
I hope someone can help me setting up receiving e-mail on my home server. Ubuntu Lucid and Zarafa from repository. Zarafa is running well. I can send e-mail via the relay smtp host from my ISP. But though the e-mail address should be correct I never see this e-mail appear in zarafa inbox.The e-mail reaches the server via an open 25 port forwarded to my server, but it seems postfix does not know how to handle it. Or is there something else going wrong here? Below are my settings. These are the settings I added or edited. the rest is Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) standard.
forums so I'm not sure this is the right place for this topic.So, my question/topic thing is:I have a PHP script that runs on an apache2 web server (www-data).From this script, i want to launch a process that stays alive all the time,ut the parent script keeps on going. So I think I will need to run a command like 'at' to put the process on a queue, and the script can continue and finish, without waiting for the process to stop. But it seems like I will need to run the 'at' command as a different user, because www-data stops the 'atd' process. I'm not sure about that. Does anybody know how this could happen?
I have been reading about asterisk, I did some basic configuration, a small ivr, record messages.. but I was wondering how and what/where should I modify to use a database to save sip users and voicemail user..then we can add user/voicemail with php-myadmin I always search but I cant find about this configuration..
I've a big issue using unoconv to convert Office docs in PDF format from a PHP script.It works perfectly when I run the script or the unoconv commands as root, but it fails the second I do the same from web (through apache and www-data user) I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server 64bits, openoffice.org and unoconv packages have been installed via apt-get (re-installed today). I think openoffice is version 3.2. Here is a command line that is called by exec() PHP command :
Code: /usr/bin/unoconv -f pdf /home/www/framework/files/volume_0/document/original/1278613446MWEwwT4k.ppt
I changed partitions (partition X is now partition X+1) and can no longer boot. I get thrown into grub rescue. But even if I get past that, it still doesn't boot. (I can't see why because it's using an unsupported graphics mode by default, but that's another gripe). I would prefer an installation which is not fragile to changes in partition numbers or drive numbers. It's not 1975 any more, can't we use meaningful names instead of 0, 1, 2?
I am using debian squeeze server with asterisk 1.6 installed and configured.my problem is non root users need to access the server using ssh and restart asterisk server after making changes in asterisk configuration files.As of now i am giving root username/password for this process (i know it is not at all a good idea) .now how can i create a username and configure it which can only access and modify asterisk configuration files and restart asterisk server without any other privileges.
After kernel upgrade to latest version I get a lot of failure messages in syslog and dmesg:
Code: Mar 16 22:50:30 s6 kernel: [515925.148335] megasas: Failed to copy out to user sense data Mar 16 23:07:57 s6 kernel: [516970.118242] megasas: Failed to copy out to user sense data
I have fedora 13, and installed asterisk.. Before I had centos and have my asterisk running to test and learn.. but in fedora I see there is a http miniserver for admin asterisk..I edited enable, port and ip in the file http.con but when I try URL...I got 404 page no found Asterisk server.
i just had to switch from 10 to 11 until 12 comes out, and after setting up asterisk, i noticed VERY VERY BAD sound quality, mostly comprised of severe jittering. I noticed that the way Fedora lets you work with your sound devices in 11 is way different (nicer, but obviously not complete) than ever before, and i am using the same asterisk configs as before, so i'm positive that this is NOT an asterisk issue, and does NOT really belong in this forum; however, only asterisk users will be able to replicate or identify with this issue.
Have any of you 11 users had this happen to you, and if so, did you figure out how to solve it? I'm sure that i can *try* adjusting asterisks jitter buffer settings, but like i said, it was NEVER an issue before 11... Another clue would be that i cannot get crap like gtk-recordmydesktop to produce sound (but that may very well be another issue; however i doubt it)...
created a user but i forgot to change the home directory permission.so after user created when i go to the user and group mangement i cant see that permission filed related to the home permission directory.my purpose is to stop accessing other user to my home directory,how it can be possible??
I've been using Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) for some time now as the OS for a home Nasbox, along with webmin. Its been great, and I've been able to SSH into the box without any issues in the past.Last night, I ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to bring my system more current.
Now, I can't seem to log into SSH any longer, and get a "Connection failed, Windows error 10061" error.I'm going to upgrade the OS to 11 as well in hopes things fix themselves.
Take a physical user FRED. FRED is a linux user ( known by linux on his laptop ) FRED is a Samba user ( Known by samba on the samba pdc server ) When he logs locally (with username/password) on its standalone laptop (with no network), he is known as FRED:user. He access his data in /home/FRED/. When he logs through samba (with username/password) on the domain MY_DOM, he is known as MY_DOMFRED:MY_DOMdomain user. He access his data in /home/MY_DOM/FRED/. ) Is it possible that the human FRED has only one repository and have full access to its repository regardless of how it was connected. If yes, how to do it
2) If not, Is it possible that the human FRED has full access to /home/FRED/.............. and /home/MY_DOM/FRED/.
We purchased a new database system at work last October, ditching the old system because of a lack of support from the vendor. This is a retail Point of Sale and Backoffice database system. I am not sure what system the new one runs on, but the system we replaced was a Firebird data base. The reason I am posting is because we are now in need of the information contained in the old database which was not completely imported into the new system.
Basically the problem is this: The database in on a Windows XP system and I found a copy of SQL Manager Lite 2008 on the system, which after quite a bit of studying, I figured out how to extract the database into a removable file. I have this file (178MB) on a USB stick in a file called Backoffice.fbd.
My studying suggests to me that I can get into this database with MySQL. I have never used this and have no clue how to do this. All I want to be able to do get into the database and create tab deliminated spreadsheet files for each of the database sections (Customers, Repairs, Sales History, stock files, etc.) Is it possible to do this with Ubuntu and MySQL and if so, can expert suggest one or two things to get me started. While a guided tutorial would be nice because I am not an expert, I am willing to learn on my own if someone could point me in the right direction.
I updated sendmail during a routine set of updates. I found it replaced my old sendmail with sendmail+tcpwrappers. I had to create an entry in hosts.allow as my hosts.deny was set to deny all. Never had to do this before, but I had not updated sendmail in a while. Just a heads up in case anyone else is about to perform updates.
Where apart from ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail does kmail keep account data, such as login data/names of pop/smtp servers? I wanted to install an entirely clean version of kmail, so I uninstalled/re-installed kmail via YAST. I manually deleted ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail. After installing kmail I found that the account data of my Yahoo account were still listed in the kmail configuration panel. Shall I delete the Yahoo account within kmail prior to uninstalling the kmail package?
I have my / partition on an SSD that I formatted in ext3 but I now realise that, in order to use TRIM, I need to be ext4. Can I use Partimage to make and image of the partition, format it (using GParted) and then restore the image? Basically, do Partimage files survive a filesystem change?
i currently have both xubuntu 10.10 32-bit and windows 7 64-bit installed on my laptop which i use mostly for college work and basic programming (i'm still learning to program).i have a 150gb partition with win7 installed, a 20gb partition with xubuntu installed and a 15gb partition with my linux home folder on, the rest of the space is unused because i thought i may need it for something else in the future.the home folder partition is formatted to etc4, i now have a need to access this data from win7 for college work, i know that windows doesn't support mounting of etc file systems so i have hit a problem.
i thought about changing the type of partition from a ect4 to fat32 but will this delete my data? or ,are there any third party software packages for windows that will allow me to mount ect4?
I didn't leave much space for the / folder during installation of squeeze and now I can't seem to copy over old profile folder from a windows install of thunderbird. Any way to change the location of the profile folder?
Earlier this morning I made my girlfriend an account on my Ubuntu desktop, I entered all the information, (username, full name etc.) and it worked fine. When I went to GDM I noticed that it displays both her full name, and username, but I seem to have my first name only as both my full name and user name (it just says "luke" twice).
I hadn't really paid attention to this before, but now it looked really odd with my girlfriend's full name, but only my first name. So I went to change it. Where to do that? I tried System->Preferences->About Me and System->Administration->Users and Groups, but I can't see "Full name" anywhere. In the end I used chfn on the command line to do it, but surely Ubuntu 10.04 isn't missing graphical a way to change a users full name is it?
I just got a 1.5 terrabyte Western Digital My Book 1110 external usb 2 drive. I used Gparted to reformat the drive to ext3. The problem I have is I can't change the file permissions for the drive because it says the drive is owned by root. I can't back up my files into the drive because it won't allow me to. I am using Jaunty Jackalope and got this drive to back up my files so I can feel comfortable in upgrading to Karmic Koala in case there are major problems with the upgrade.
I know someone out there in the community can tell me the commands to use in the terminal to let me gain ownership of this external drive from root so I can copy my files into it. the entire drive itself is seen as /dev/sdb One meg of the drive is unallocated and the part of the drive that I reformated is seen as /dev/sdb1 my personal files are owned by the name of dave
I run both Mac OS X and Lucid. I backed up my OS X partition in preparation for a restore. I also moved over important work documents to Lucid. Restored OS X using timemachine. Updated OS X with patches and moved over some files from external hard drive. After moving the files over, timemachine backed up system. I went into Time machine to transfer work documents over but the previous back up was deleted for the new one. I had the documents on Lucid. I just needed to switch it over to OS X. Therefore, I tried to enable read/write from Lucid to Mac OS X partition.
OS X was unmounted prior to entering commands and performed the steps above under a different user. During step 3 I received an error stating you do not have sufficient privileges and the process stopped. I logged out of my temporary account and tried logging back into my main account. Main account was not present on the login screen. So I followed these steps to change my UID and GID from 501 back to 1000. Login appeared. I tried to login but there was an error about ICEauthority and Nautilus. System doesn't load up and only shows wallpaper. I haven't deleted anything and I expect that I just need to point my UID back to wherever my home folder is.
I'm wanting to have a personalized photo on each user on the login screen, but am having difficulties figuring it out. I've done some searching here on the forums but haven't come up with anything yet. I'm using Pinguy OS 10.10.
I tried to place a mono icon in usr/icons/etc but I didn't have the permission to do so. I tried to change my user profile to Admin, thinking I could go back to custom, but that hasn't and it isn't allowing me to go back to my previous setting.
Within minutes of being an Admin user I noticed I couldn't even unmount something. I really need to figure out how to change my profile back to default.
After that has been dealt with, I would like some guidance on how to gain root access to put my icon where it needs to be.
Basically I'm trying to create a bash script that'll ask for a folder name and then change into that folder.
Code: Not real code but bare with me!
echo "Enter the desired folder and press [ENTER] read $folder cd $folder pwd /home/<user name>/<whatever the user entered> Is this possible with bash or am I chasing a pipe dream?
I was playing around with the window managers (in XFCE) by clicking each one to see what each one looks like, then screen went black and kicked me the login screen. Now I cannot login to that user, after inputting password it just kicks me back to the login screen. I can login to another user and the terminal. How can I return to the default window manager using the terminal or is there a file I can delete that will automatically return to
Im trying to limit the diskspace users on the system may consume, and i found quotas (im a total linux noob). But when i try to set it, no matter what i set it to the maximus is 2 GB. Now... i need quite a lot more than that. One user should be able to use 1900 GB and the other 600 GB. How can i fix this? Im using ubuntu server 10.04.
I'd like to know if there's a reliable way to change the default user in Debian: when I installed testing starting from Jessie, I used rsync to set up a duplicate stable installation and then upgraded it to testing, as a result I now have the same username for both installations, which is sometimes kinda confusing.
Reading around a bit, looks like you can indeed change your username with relative ease, but then there will be always something left behind somewhere still pointing at the old username: is that the case?
