Ubuntu Servers :: Error: Could Not Connect To Server
Feb 7, 2010
I have openssh installed and it works great right out of the box. However, I don't want people accessing everything on my machine. My machine is behind NAT and ufw firewall. I have configured both so that port 22 is open. I've added the new users I want to have limited access and assigned them to group "sambashare" (just because its convenient.)
When the bottom bit of my config file "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" is set as shown below, everything works great:
Quote:
#Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
UsePAM yes
Match Group sambashare
[code]...
Whenever I make the change to enable "ChrootDirectory" so that it limits the users access, I simply remove the # and it looks like this:
Quote:
#Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
UsePAM yes
Match Group sambashare
[code]...
However, thats when I start running into problems. When I try logging in with Filezilla; I am not able to connect and this is the response I get from Filezilla:
Quote:
Status: Connecting to ##.###.###.###...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "user@##.###.###.###" 22
I am merely trying to change the port for my ssh server.However it isn't changing.I edited my ssh_config file to:
Code:
# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file. See # ssh_config(5) for more information. This file provides defaults for[code]...
When i try to connect to my server via port 443 i get a connection refused error. However when i try to connect via port 22 it connects. Since that didn't work, i tried restarting the entire server.To restate, i changed the config file and restarted ssh then the computer, however the port didn't change.Ohh and yes my router is set to port forwarding on port 443, though it doesn't matter since I'm inside the network.
I have FileZilla installed on this machine, and OpenSSH (with an open port 22) on another machine on my home network. When I try and connect, I get: Quote: Status:Connecting to 192.168.2.3... Response:fzSftp started Command: open "alphatwo@192.168.2.3" 22 Error:Connection refused Error:Could not connect to server
Which has left me puzzled as I have an open port. Does the username have to be defined somewhere? E.g. the machine acting as my SFTP server can be logged on to locally as alphatwo so that's what I logged in as (with the correct password). Is this correct? If so, does anyone have any ideas as to how I might rectify it? I want SFTP set up so I can copy PHP files from my laptop to /var/www/html/ on another PC (across the home network).
every time I try to connect to the ftp server I setup i am recieving this error Response:*** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/sbin/vsftpd terminated Error:Could not connect to server
After the upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, all was well. But after the upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, I lost the MySQL server. Now, I recall during the upgrade, I was asked if I wanted to keep the existing my.cnf file or replace it with a newer one. I did as suggested and kept the original as I had edited it before. The same question was asked with a couple other config files. I kept the original in each case. After the first step, I checked the server was running and the websites were up, all was well. After the update to 9.10, when I checked the server, I get the following error:
Code: error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists! Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting this resolved?

# /etc/init.d/postgrsql-8.3 start
Nothing appears in my /var/run/postgresql When I try and start psql as the postgres user I get the following error psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"? I've been following the docs at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL

http://www.ovaistariq.net/490/a-step...-to-mysql-5-5/ but i got error like this error:2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) when trying to connect FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed
In /etc/my.cnf , i didnt get like this. Is this is the error user = mysql; socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock; port = 3306; basedir = /usr/local/mysql; datadir = /usr/local/mysql/data; tmpdir = /tmp; log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log
I'm the lead Dev of GnackTrack and we're having issues with running MySQL on the LiveDVD.Once installed everything works fine, mysql can be connected to but when using the liveDVD we get the following error:
Code:
root@root:~# mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Contents of /etc/mysql/my.cf point to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock but because this is a liveDVD the actual file is located in: /rofs/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
I install and configure the vncserver following and reading 1000papers, but all of this present the same problem; when i try to connect to my vncserver,recive this mesage: unable connect to socket: No route to host (113) The OS version is Fedora Core 14 and tigervnc-server i try different solutions including:Allow TCP connection modifing files /etc/gdm/custom.conf and /usr/share/gdm/gdm.chemas Disable SELinux removing iptables Here follow the vncserver configuration:
[code].....
The ip address of the vncserver is correct because i can do ssh on it. Where or what can i do?
I'm running fedora core 13. The problem is I've installed vsftpd and it works from the local machine but when I try to connect to the ftp server using another computer on my small home network I get the following error: "Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the filename correctly and that you have permission to access this folder. Details: A connection with the server could not be established."
I've gone through the common vstfp problems post but I'm still having problems. The server is pingable from the remote laptop I'm using. I've disabled selinux:
I cannot use cvs within eclipse to connect to the server, but when I use cvs in terminal everything works fine.

In Gnome Places->Connect To Server dialog, I am having problem using the Custom Location Service Type. I enter in the URI as
Code:
smb://username:password@ipaddress/share_name
I get an pop up error message that says:
Quote:
Cannot Connect To Server. You must enter a name for the server.
Which would be fine if there was actually a place for me to enter the name which there is not. What am I doing wrong. This is the first time I have tried using the Connect To Server dialog. Normally I just use a script I wrote to mount my share in a folder on my local drive as some programs cannot access the mounted network folder. In a browser all I have to do is:
Code:
smb://ipaddress/share_name
I tried using Windows Shares, but that did not work either. It does work if I click on network and access the share that way, but some programs like firefox and a few others that I want to save a file to my network drive do not show the network unless the share is mounted in a folder. So, I wrote a script:
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with a complete LAMP installation (for local developement purpose).
Everything is OK (I installed phpMyAdmin without problems) except for one big problem: php shows 500 server internal error instead of a complete error report.
I tried editing php.ini and in-script runtime configuration but nothing changed.
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2). I've had this problem to the point where I thought I messed up my actual configuration so bad that I reinstalled Ubuntu to get rid of all the MySQL configuration; I ran MySQL through Windows with a breeze, but I'm getting some errors like that after restarting my computer just a few minutes ago and I have not changed anything in my SQL settings. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and running MySQL 5.1. the actual error that I get from Navicat and from the website is at [URL]... Update: 20110402. Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed. Just got that when I tried to log in to phpmyadmin.
My school are cutting costs.I suggested they go open source.They said if I could find out how then they would consider it.Basically they want a mixture of windows and ubuntu clients.What I would like to no is how a ubuntu machine can connect to a server (SAMBA I think) so that it can access our home folder like the windows machines do.
when i fisrt signed up for this forums i accidently posted this same topic in the first place i found apropriate(network/wirless) and i just realised i didn't look hard enough so i marked my old post as solved, please admin delete that one. ubuntu server 10.04 LTS running ubuntu desktop on top(for my lack of skill)ok nitty-gritty. i have been learning to use linux for a few months now and i like it but i cannot access my server through WAN on any ports, yes i have them all open and enabled and associated on my router properly. i even tryed turning off firewall on here and i have tryed a list of misc. things. is there something i am not doing that one might initialy do when first starting an ubuntu server?
Does anyone know, or have any experience with, what the best way to set a network interface on a linux server to be up - so that virtual machines can bridge through the physical interface, but not allow anyone on a network to connect to the server itself? Thank you
I just set up my first server in my home with Ubuntu Server Edition, and I'm in the process of installing Jinzora on it. However, I cannot access the server through my web browser like I believe I should.Is it not just URL...?I am very much a server newbie, do I need to install another application to view my server in a web browser? I am able to connect through SSH just fine.
I've looked everywhere for this (simple) problem, and I can't get this working. I have a mysql server on my LAN which is accessible from within the server.I want to access the mysql server from another computer on the LAN, but it never works.
I setup Ubuntu 10.10 (edubuntu) along with ltsp. I have an environment with a windows network (192.168.1.0) and a subnet (192.168.0.0) that the new terminal server is on. Everything seemed to be connecting properly, but when I attempted to boot the first client, I get the error message: "Cannot connect to NBD server".
I've tried /etc/init.d/mysql start, and it actually starts, or at least, it doesn't error out. But when I do pgrep mysql I get nothing, and when I try to login with mysql -p as root, I get
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
None of my other logins work, either, but since pgrep mysql didn't work, it's clear that MySQL just isn't running. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling mysql-server via apt-get, but I get the same thing. The logs in /var/log/syslog show this:
Apr 11 14:31:26 /etc/init.d/mysql[9774]: #007/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed Apr 11 14:31:26 /etc/init.d/mysql[9774]: error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server
i have been havin a little trouble with my ftp server im using proftpd and have been able to connect to the box on local lan but it stops with an error about tls packet.
i have been following a guide on settin up my server [URL]...and have attached my config and error details
I just made a Ubuntu Server install in a virtual machine and am having trouble setting up FTP to transfer files. I've installed LAMP and vsftp. The web server works great, but FTP gives a connection refused error locally and remotely from the host machine. 'Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".' nmap localhost doesn't list FTP as open even though I have vsftpd set to listen. I've tried restarting vsftpd with no luck.
I use web server apache use php fastcgi (Centos 5.2, apache 2.2.9 , php 5.2.5 and fcgi-2.2.4 ). I receive error : "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. contact the server administrator, no-reply@zz.vn and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. I view log :
I later ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to see if that would help.
Code: #cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS l Code: #sudo startx Fatal server error: xf860OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory) I assume this is because it probably doesn't have a video card. [Code]...
I followed this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...l-ubuntu-10.04 Minus the Quota for the mailboxes, since I don't really care about that. But I don't think that should cause any problems in the configuration. The server is in my local network.
I tried to connect with Thunderbird and Kmail. Kmal brings up an error message eventually, saying something about a time-out. Squirrelmail says code...
I searched everything & everywhere only to see that more people have that same error message come up with Squirrelmail. From my understanding some have fixed the issue but I couldn't actually find a solution to this.
