View 2 RepliesI have recently set up my web server using the LAMPP package for Ubuntu. Now I'm running Ubuntu Server 10 so my machine boots into the console and not gdm. Also I have my machine autologin as root so I can simply turn my server on and not mess around with logins. Now I created a simple shellscript for starting lampp and then I put it into etc/init.d/, chmod -x file.sh to give it executable permissions, then I update-rc.d file.sh defaults but nothing happens on startup. It simple takes me to the console and nothing more happens. I have to manually start lampp on every bootup.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question about using crontab with /etc/crontab...
I had a cron job that I needed to run as root. At the time I thought that sticking it in /etc/crontab would be a good idea. However, I used the crontab command to edit /etc/crontab, which I guess is not standard procedure? Specifically, I configured /etc/crontab as my local user's crontab (i.e. sudo crontab /etc/crontab) then added my cron job as I would a local user crontab (i.e. sudo crontab -e).
Originally, my cron job looked like this:
30 * * * * root /my/batch/script &> /dev/null
After adding the new cron job I started seeing errors. Something to the effect of "can't find command root" or something similar. So I removed the 'root' user definition from the cron job and the job started running fine. However, because this is /etc/crontab, there are other system related cron jobs that have been defined to run under the root account (e.g. "17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly" runs as root, etc.). So these pre-existing system cron jobs, which up until now have been running smoothly, are now generating "can't find command root" errors. But I think that the system cron jobs _are_ successfully being run someplace because logrotate seems to be working.
So what I _think_ is happening is that /etc/crontab is being run twice: once as the system crontab, and once as my sudoed local user's crontab. When I run crontab -l I see nothing, but when I run sudo crontab -l I can see the contents of /etc/crontab. I am reluctant to delete my sudoed local user's crontab, because then in the process I would be deleting the system crontab, and I do not know how I should restore the system crontab's contents. (I am still not sure as to the most appropriate way to edit the system crontab).
How can I get out of this mess? I want /etc/crontab to go back to the way it was before--running _once_ as the system crontab. As for my new cron job, I'm willing to reconfigure it anywhere so long as I am still able to run it as root. Any ideas? (I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTE)
I have installed XAMPP in Ubuntu, but I do not know how the process continue after the start XAMPP.

I then went to the Folder (xampp-linux-1.7.4.tar.gz) and right clicked on it. The options window opened, and I selected "Extract Here"! after doing so a Folder called lampp appeared. The next step I did was open my Terminal and typed ( sudo nautilus / ). I pressed Enter and a window with a bunch Folders opened up. I selected, and opened the opt Folder. I then dragged the lampp Folder to the opt Folder.
The lampp Folder is now in the opt Folder. I right clicked on the lampp Folder and selected Properties, and then the Permissions tap. I set all 3 Folder access: -to- Create delete files and all 3 File access: -to- Read and write. I checked Allow executing file as program, and Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files button, then closed. I went back to Terminal and typed (sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start) and pressed Enter. Everything is working fine execpt MySQL!

I'm using ubuntu 9.10 64bit and I'want to configure php mysql and lampp. Also the package mysql-ser is already installed, so if I install MYSQL GUI tools(Administrator, query browser..) from my synaptic package manager will it detect the mysql already installed ? Also tried configuring lampp by extracting it in my /opt directory and i started the server, which MySQL ll it detect the one which was previously installed otr the oin that in gui tools ?
Also think the current ubuntu repository does't have latest build of mysql GUI tools, so how the above mentioned things ll change if I try to download the individual package.
Oveall what I want is to configure Mysql GUI tools, Mysql workbench, xampp and php(For this I'm using Bluefish and Komposer). Please help me out so that I can leave windows for my Web-projects.
I'm trying to run Xampp so that I can test Drupal out. I'm running Lucid Lynx Beta. I'm having a lot of trouble getting Xampp to run. I downloaded Xampp version 1.7.3a and installed it but when I type http://localhost in Firefox to see if Xampp is working it just says:

This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
i would like to know how many connections per sec/min/hour, xampp can handle. I'm going to run SMF forum on my box, because i'm not ready yet with real server solution. System stats are: G31M-S2C; 2x2GB Kingston@920Mhz; E5200@3500Mhz; 500GB@7200 Seagate, all powered by Lucid x64. In a time i will migrate to a quad, mobo with raid support, etc. but at that point i'm want to know how much connections can xampp handle. Because of the forum nature, i think of auto deleting topics witn no new replys in 5 days for saving place (there will be minimum 1 and maybe max 5 photos per thread, maximum size 2Mb for each).

I have been using wamp on an xp box and now have set up ubuntu with the localhost server seeming to be going okay.
As this is just a desktop graphical test server with no real public hosting, I was hoping to find a control panel like in wamp where one can stop/start php, apache, mysql, phpmyadmin and see logs etc.
I currently have a windows server running with XAMPP installed.I want to try out ubuntu server, I am a complete linux newbie and was wondering if there was a similar package to XAMPP out there with:ApachePHPMySQLAnd some form of ftp server

I would like to make a crontab task to email a log file to me every night.
How would i do this? I know how to make crontab jobs (and sett the time on them), i just dont know the command i would write for this particular job.
I have been searching for a few hours now trying to figure out the best way to have Ubuntu Server 8.10 copy and replace a file every week.
So for example:
File A (original file)
File B (replacement file)
I would want to copy File B from its location and replace File A each week automatically with out removing or destroying File B.
I've thought of doing a cron since I already have a job set for email piping. but I'm unsure of the best way to complete this task.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAs root, I use crontab to run mirrordir to backup directories. Everything gets copied over properly, but owner information isn't preserved and root is the owner of all the backed up files. I can deal with that, but crontab reports tons and tons of chown/chgrp errors for mirrordir every time I do back ups--which is every day--and the multiple emails to root of thousands of chown/chgrp errors is very annoying. The error is "Operation not permitted," but that doesn't make sense to me because the job runs as root (right?) and clearly the job is permitted to create the backup files, so why would it fail to chown and chgrp?
I've had the exact same setup on another server for years, and crontab has always run mirrordir without error. Any suggestions how to clear the errors on my new server?
I have a mysql database and i use it with apache for my webpages. And I guess it dosen't start when the computer starts so I have to manually start it with "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start" This returns fail so i went to '/var/run/mysqld/' and the folder was empty. I don't know if this is the problem or not. How can I fix this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running ubuntu 10.04 as a web/file server. I have set up several cron jobs in the past which until recently were executing normally. However, a few days ago, cron jobs stopped executing after a restart. I was able to fix the problem by deleting and reentering the cron jobs, but only until the next restart. ps -ef lists cron.
Summary:
1.) Cron was working --jobs executed without error and restarts worked fine
2.) Cron jobs stopped executing after a restart about a week ago --ps -e still lists cron
3.) Removing all cron jobs and reentering them by copying and pasting fixes until next restart
4.) Cron job syntax is known to be correct since they were executing before this problem arose.
I was trying to write a crontab entry using "crontab -e"
Code:
0 0 * * * cp /var/log/httpd/domains/mydomain.net.log
/home/admin/logs/mydomain.net.log
crontab is giving me this error:
Code:
"/tmp/crontab.XXXXfMOnRS":2: bad minute
errors in crontab file, can't install.
I've tried a dozen different values for the minute, but it's still giving me the same error.
What is the difference between the crontab located in /etc/crontab and the crontab that can be edited using crontab -e?
