I ordered my VPS but my domain name that I registered my VPS with is with another host. So obviously I have to update the nameserver options there. How can i find out what my nameserver settings on my vps? I'm using webmin.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to import a gfs2 filesystem using gnbd_import, but I get the error: gnbd_import: ERROR could not find gnbd registered in /proc/devices.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI came across this great open-source script called EyeOS [url] a few months ago and found a free hosting provider to go with it.
After playing around on the demo setup, I spent quite a bit of time figuring out how to get it set up on a hosting provider via FTP. Once that was set up, things ran smoothly for a few weeks until one day I logged into my user CP and saw a notice that they were shutting down and selling their server to a new adult video site and that all sites would be deleted in like 72 hours. I could never find another hosting provider that could give me the space I needed without ads for free, so I had this crazy idea of hosting it myself.
I have an older box with Lucid Desktop Edition that would be great for a server (I mainly use my laptop anyway), but there are a few problems: I have very little experience with Linux (although I'm great w/ Windows). I need Apache and PHP but I have no idea how to install them (and make them work together) and where to put the files to "serve." Knowing some administrative commands .
My ISP blocks incoming connections on port 80. I need help deciding on an alternative port besides the blaringly obvious port 8080 that won't conflict with anything important. I'll most likely link to it from our homepage on Google Sites (with a free .tk domain) so it doesn't need to be easy to remember.
I type in /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start
And I receive bash: /etc/init.d/hostname.sh: No such file directory
For hostname I've use "hostname" and my actual hostname, and both receive the same error.
Although when I do hostname is shows the correct hostname but without the the comcast part of it , and when I type in hostname -f, I get the correct hostname with the comcast part of it.
I currently have a virtual host setup to accept SSL connections as follows:

I upgraded karmic to lynx today and I'm stuck with some weird behaviour with one of my virtual hosts. The virtual hosts under /var/www/site work but my virtual host for DAVICAL which points to /usr/share/davical/htdocs/ doesn't.

Has there been a configuration change in lynx for virtual hosts outside of /var/www?
I got one problem with my linux webserver where I deployed from Virtual Machine template, usually i go to the console and then issue the command hostname NEWSERVERNAME to make it happens and then followed by editing the /etc/hosts file and its done, but how come this time after the reboot it reverts back to the old template name ? i want it to be "wordpress" as the hostname but instead it reverts back to SSV as the name ?

I'm trying to setup my Ubuntu 9.10 laptop to host a small website that I can practice and learn stuff with and I'm a little stuck at the minute.
I have got Apache2 and the LAMP stack installed okay, along with phpMyAdmin and can give my external IP to anyone with the http:// and anyone can view my website that way but what I want to do is have my IP resolve into a domain name like ooloo-website.net but I don't know how to do this.
Is there any way that I can do this like register my IP to a free DNS and domain website without buying a domain or using one of those free ones like ooloo.webhost.net or do I need to host everything myself like DNS and the domain? Can I even do all of this myself?
I have tried to set up the desktop version of the server . In my apache2.conf file I have changed the following lines-

Yes I do keep the default values commented out
In my virtual host file I have made the following changes to the DocumentRoot, and to one of the <Directory>; the rest of the file doesn't appear here as nothing was changed.
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>

I just built out an Ubuntu Server 10.04.
My problem is setting the hostname. I cloned the machine, then normally on the clone, I would change the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts file.
However, when I do this, upon restart, I get the message, "init hostname main process (some process number) terminated with status 1"Then, when the machine finally boots, the hostname is set to (none). Literally has braces like: user@(none):
I've tried: sudo hostname machine_name but it says can't resolve hostname (none).
I've Google'd around a lot but can't get it. It may have something to do with 10.04? I have been using 9.04, 9.10 with no problems.

I've recently had to rebuild our mail server - after the old one over heated - and I've realised I never backed up the config files for exim... so now tyring to work out how the hell to configure what I had....
The setup isn't the most straight forward, so I'll try and explain what happens...
- all emails @longdomain.com are received by an hosted server on the internet
- they are then forwarded to @shortdomain.com, the IP for which is our internet connection which fowards port 25 traffic to the exim server
- the exim server then spam and virus checks the emails and forwards them to an exchange server (sorry but it works well for us)....
I've installed exim4/spamassassin/clamav successfully, and it's setup to receive emails for the relevant domains and relay from the hosted server on the internet (and some local addresses).
how I then setup exim4 to foward all emails on the relevant domains to the exchange server?
Recently I've been earning money doing web development, php, html/css, MySQL and so on. What I have encountered a lot are clients that need a complete solution. They need their site built, but they also need a hosting solution. I've sent more than just a few clients off to GoDaddy, and quite frankly, I'd like to cash in on some of that.
It would do wonders for my business if I could offer them a hosting solution with full support on top of building their site. My problem is I have no idea how to do this. So I'd like to know how I can host multiple sites on the same server. Does anyone know of a nice guide I can follow to set this up? It's really important that I can add sites fairly easily over the internet. Since I will be away at school, I won't have direct access to the server

I am trying to set up an Apache2 virtual host to test sites I make from my own computer.
I used this guide to set up my LAMP and vHost, The LAMP stack seems to be working great, but I run into some problems when I try to set up a vHost
As described in the guide I
1. made a new directory in my home folder /home/[myname]/www/test.dev to put my site in (it currently contains a simple index.html file as a test).
2. In /etc/apache2/sites-available I copied the file "default" and renamed it "test.dev"
3. I edited the content of "test.dev" to look like this:
Code:
4. I enabled the site using the command "sudo a2ensite test.dev". I then restarted apache "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload".
5. I edited the hosts file: "sudo gedit /etc/hosts" to look like this:
Code:
6. I restarted apache "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload".
Now if I enter "http://test.dev" in my firefox's adress bar I just get the apache2 "It works!" site. What is going wrong to cause firefox to show the "It works!" page rather then my own test site?
I needed to create a virtual host for a php project I'm working on. Rather than using command line and text editors, I installed webmin to accomplish this and hopefully perform other server configuration in the future. When I created the virtual host and tried applying the changes Apache wouldn't re-start, and still doesn't restart after complete re-boot. It's getting hung up at the end of apache2.conf, which is trying to include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.
When I look at 000-default from a File Browser, it's a linked file to etc/apache2/sites-available/default I can open both the linked file and actual file in a text editor, and it looks fine. When I view the directory, /etc/apache2/sites-available from shell, the default file isn't visible. It seems this "invisibility" is probably related to the error, which is preventing start-up. Can anyone explain why the file would be visible from the Ubuntu File Browser GUI but not from the terminal, and how I can fix so apache can recognize this on start-up?
I want make several virtual Host using apache2. Each virtual host will have virtual domains in localhost with different root.

View 3 Replies View RelatedA while back I successfully set up a software raid (mdadm) install of ubuntu server on a cheap Compaq machine. I'm pretty sure it's running an nForce 430 chipset. Anyway, I put 3 2TB drives in it and set up two arrays: a small raid1 array for /boot and a raid5 array occupying the rest of the drives.
One point of note here is that the raid1 array never seemed to "take hold": the partition is empty, and the system has been booting entirely from the raid5 array. I'm not sure if this is relevant or not: just throwing it in there in case it is.
Anyway, I recently upgraded my desktop PC, and planned to hand down the Q6600 and DG33TL motherboard from it to the server. I did the hardware upgrade, but now the system will not boot. My question is: why.
Boot fails with the following error message:
"No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
This to me suggests that it's not even getting to the point of running grub2: the mobo itself just isn't finding anything it considers to be bootable.
I've tried all combinations I can think of of configuring the SATA support in the BIOS (modes include IDE, ACHI and RAID, all in combination with UEFI boot enabled and disabled). The system does detect the three drives: it lists them in the BIOS config screen.
I've booted from an ubuntu rescue USB drive and I'm able to see the drives and even assemble the array. I can mount the LVM partitions therein and do what I'd normally be able to do with them.
Everything *seems* fine: it just can't boot.
Grub2 is something of a mystery to me, so I'm not exactly sure what I need to do to get it booting again, if indeed it is a problem with grub.
I was wondering if it would work as regular ram or would it just not work at all.For a MSI PM8M-V 7104 motherboard [URL]I got this PC as a street throwaway. PS was dead.
