| 00:25 | <buzzPo> | hi, i am new to linode and have a few questions about getting started |
| 00:27 | <Talman> | This should be fun. I think caker is awake. |
| 00:27 | <guinea-pig> | psst, you need to ask a question before you can get an answer |
| 00:27 | <buzzPo> | i would like to install orbit. based on these instructions: http://www.orbited.org/tutorials/installation.html where should i begin |
| 00:27 | <Talman> | Do you have a linode? |
| 00:28 | -!- | webPragmatist [~webPragma@adsl-76-203-238-126.dsl.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net] has joined #linode |
| 00:28 | <buzzPo> | yes, Talman. |
| 00:28 | <guinea-pig> | wow, another orbit |
| 00:28 | <webPragmatist> | hey guys i am having a weird problem.... I logged into lish and i have all these news.crit file not found errors |
| 00:28 | <Talman> | Is it running Ubuntu? |
| 00:28 | <guinea-pig> | don't these people research their names? |
| 00:28 | <buzzPo> | yes; unbuntu 7.1 |
| 00:29 | <Talman> | Did you follow the instructions in the URL you gave? |
| 00:29 | <guinea-pig> | no such release |
| 00:29 | <guinea-pig> | you mean 7.10? |
| 00:29 | <buzzPo> | yes, 7.10 . sorry! |
| 00:29 | <Talman> | Did you follow the instructions in the URL you gave related to Ubuntu? |
| 00:29 | <webPragmatist> | syslogd: /var/log/news/news.err: No such file or directory |
| 00:29 | <guinea-pig> | buzzPo: start where it says "ubuntu linux" |
| 00:30 | <buzzPo> | well, i am a linux n00b so i am not sure how to complete the directions :( |
| 00:30 | <booja> | webPragmatist: touch /var/log/news/news.err ? |
| 00:30 | <webPragmatist> | booja why is it even trying to write to that? |
| 00:30 | <buzzPo> | for instance, i thought that python might be bundled as part of ubuntu, but i am not sure how to find out |
| 00:30 | <Talman> | Follow the instructions. |
| 00:31 | <Talman> | if something is already installed, apt-get will inform you. |
| 00:31 | <booja> | I dunno, but perhaps if the file is there, whatever is trying to write to it will be able to, and you'll be able to detectorise it |
| 00:32 | <Talman> | * webPragmatist: Do you have a usenet daemon installed? * |
| 00:33 | <buzzPo> | y'all are going to think that I'm dumb as a rock (and that may be true) but i don't even know how to start installing things on my linode |
| 00:33 | <guinea-pig> | example: sudo apt-get install python |
| 00:33 | <guinea-pig> | python is already the newest version. |
| 00:33 | <guinea-pig> | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. |
| 00:33 | <Talman> | * buzzPo: The instructions are there. * |
| 00:34 | <webPragmatist> | Talman no (unless one installs on debian by default)... Plus why is it telling me this when I login to LISH |
| 00:34 | <guinea-pig> | Talman: to be honest, it does say "download (this file)" and doesn't give specific commands... |
| 00:34 | <guinea-pig> | Talman: and turn off the uglies :P |
| 00:34 | <Talman> | In the ubuntu section I see apt-get stuff. |
| 00:34 | <guinea-pig> | and further down |
| 00:34 | <Talman> | They're *s. Deal. |
| 00:35 | <guinea-pig> | buzzPo: apt-get install python python-dev build-essential libevent1 libevent-dev |
| 00:35 | <Talman> | wget http://pyevent.googlecode.com/files/pyevent-0.3.tar.gz <- Grab the pyevent source |
| 00:35 | <guinea-pig> | buzzPo: you can use wget to fetch files |
| 00:35 | <guinea-pig> | ^^ like talman just showed |
| 00:35 | <guinea-pig> | learn these tools. you'll need them every day |
| 00:35 | <Talman> | tar -xvzf pyevent<press tab here to complete> |
| 00:36 | <Talman> | That unpacks it, tar is like "zip" sorta, and "gz" is gzip, which IS like zip. |
| 00:36 | <buzzPo> | okay; i am very sorry but this is completely new to me. do i need to open a terminal window to begin? |
| 00:36 | <guinea-pig> | i can't do this |
| 00:36 | <guinea-pig> | i have a fever of 102.8F |
| 00:37 | <Talman> | Have you ever ssh'ed into your Ubuntu before? |
| 00:37 | <Talman> | Let me put it this way. You have a Linode. |
| 00:38 | <Talman> | How do you use it? |
| 00:38 | <guinea-pig> | he's new. he probably hasn't |
| 00:38 | <guinea-pig> | used it |
| 00:38 | <guinea-pig> | one has to wonder if he even knows what linux is |
| 00:38 | <guinea-pig> | (i'm not trying to be insulting) |
| 00:38 | * | Talman wonders if he remote X-sessions in and uses it via desktop. |
| 00:39 | <guinea-pig> | ubuntu image doesn't have X |
| 00:39 | <buzzPo> | i have never used it; just opened the account tonight. |
| 00:39 | <Talman> | Ok. |
| 00:39 | <Talman> | You have a completely clean copy of Ubuntu. Have you ever connected to it? |
| 00:39 | <buzzPo> | no |
| 00:39 | <guinea-pig> | security updates |
| 00:39 | <Talman> | Your client operating system? |
| 00:39 | <guinea-pig> | (what do you use at home) |
| 00:40 | * | Talman should make an ASCII card for these times. |
| 00:40 | <buzzPo> | windows vista |
| 00:40 | -!- | webPragmatist [~webPragma@adsl-76-203-238-126.dsl.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net] has left #linode [] |
| 00:40 | <Talman> | If I say, "putty," do you have any idea what I'm talking about? |
| 00:40 | <buzzPo> | no :( |
| 00:40 | <Talman> | Google putty. Please do not close the CGI:IRC window. |
| 00:40 | <guinea-pig> | Talman: you'd have to explain ASCII |
| 00:40 | <Talman> | Naw, I'd just pm spam it. |
| 00:40 | <guinea-pig> | open a new tab/browser/whatever |
| 00:41 | <guinea-pig> | (ie has tabs now, right?) |
| 00:41 | <Talman> | (Yeah. Fucking IE) |
| 00:41 | -!- | thoth39 [~thoth39@201.29.240.131] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] |
| 00:41 | <guinea-pig> | ((haven't used IE in *years*)) |
| 00:41 | <guinea-pig> | since oh win2k |
| 00:41 | <buzzPo> | ahhh. putty: a free telnet/ssh client. should i download and install this? |
| 00:41 | <Talman> | Yes. |
| 00:41 | <Talman> | The .exe installer. |
| 00:42 | <guinea-pig> | it's not an installer |
| 00:42 | <Talman> | You're going to be using puTTY a LOT. |
| 00:42 | -!- | argoe [~argoe@75-170-7-181.eugn.qwest.net] has quit [Quit: argoe] |
| 00:42 | <Talman> | (There's an installer) |
| 00:42 | <guinea-pig> | really?! |
| 00:42 | <Talman> | (Yeah. Also installs scp tools) |
| 00:42 | <Talman> | (and PAgent) |
| 00:42 | <buzzPo> | thanks for the tutorial. i am downloading putty now |
| 00:42 | <Talman> | Oh, we haven't even started yet. |
| 00:42 | <guinea-pig> | i always just run it straight. i'm usually on a shared computer when i do so, heh |
| 00:42 | <Talman> | There's no web server on that thing. |
| 00:42 | <Talman> | There's no FTp server, no sql server, there's nothing. |
| 00:42 | <guinea-pig> | FTP server == bad |
| 00:42 | <guinea-pig> | use sftp |
| 00:43 | <Talman> | So, what are you using Orbit for? |
| 00:43 | <guinea-pig> | it's part of ssh already |
| 00:43 | <guinea-pig> | hmm. apparantly orbit *is* an http daemon. |
| 00:43 | <Talman> | Yeah, for long-term connections. |
| 00:43 | <Talman> | I don't think it serves sites. |
| 00:44 | <guinea-pig> | oh |
| 00:44 | <guinea-pig> | still |
| 00:44 | <guinea-pig> | don't install something if you don't need it |
| 00:44 | <guinea-pig> | the less you have open, the fewer security vulnerabilities |
| 00:44 | <Talman> | Yes. |
| 00:44 | <buzzPo> | well, i built an online forum using javascript, php and mysql. it's an ajax thing. clients poll the server continuously seeking updates and i want to use comet (via orbit) instead |
| 00:44 | <Talman> | Thing is, wtf is he doing. |
| 00:44 | <guinea-pig> | and the less you have running, the better your resources |
| 00:45 | <Talman> | Ok, so, you built this on someone else's box, I take it? |
| 00:45 | <Talman> | Do you have any idea if orbited itself will serve as a full blown http daemon and serve your entire site? |
| 00:45 | * | Talman has no clue, has never heard of this thing before. |
| 00:46 | <guinea-pig> | yeah |
| 00:46 | <guinea-pig> | but at least, apparantly he knows he needs orbit |
| 00:46 | <buzzPo> | right, ive always used a remote server for web development |
| 00:46 | <guinea-pig> | and you don't know about ssh? |
| 00:46 | <Talman> | How did you connect? |
| 00:47 | <buzzPo> | i usually use Filezilla for FTP purposes |
| 00:48 | <guinea-pig> | ftp is considered bad because it sends your password in cleartext |
| 00:48 | <guinea-pig> | iirc, most ftp clients should support sftp nowadays |
| 00:48 | <Talman> | Shared hosts don't even give ssh most of the time. |
| 00:49 | <guinea-pig> | ah, true true |
| 00:49 | * | Talman asks on freenode's #orbited channel if he needs apache. |
| 00:49 | <Xel> | Hey all |
| 00:49 | <Talman> | Bets on my getting an answer? |
| 00:49 | <Talman> | Hello Xel. |
| 00:49 | <buzzPo> | Talman, im sure ill need apache |
| 00:50 | <guinea-pig> | which forking model? |
| 00:50 | <guinea-pig> | i'm going back to sleep |
| 00:50 | <guinea-pig> | delerium is too much |
| 00:50 | <buzzPo> | also, i tried logging in to my site via Putty and cannot...i get an "access denied" when i enter my password |
| 00:50 | <Talman> | Take magic pills. |
| 00:50 | <buzzPo> | gp: no idea on the forking model |
| 00:51 | <guinea-pig> | buzzPo: that's my point |
| 00:51 | <Talman> | * buzzPo: So, you tried to login with root, right? * |
| 00:51 | <buzzPo> | not at first |
| 00:51 | <buzzPo> | but i just tried that and im in |
| 00:52 | <Talman> | There are NO users on that box other than root right now. |
| 00:52 | <Xel> | Well I had a good night |
| 00:52 | * | Talman strongly suggests that you first focus on learning system administration. Your application will wait. |
| 00:52 | <Talman> | Alternately, you need a system administrator. |
| 00:53 | <Talman> | But that can run into expensiveland. |
| 00:53 | <booja> | depends |
| 00:53 | <buzzPo> | well, i would like to at least learn some of the basics :) |
| 00:53 | <booja> | heh, I run my linode for my programmer friend |
| 00:53 | <booja> | he's hopeless when it comes to computers, awesome code monkey though |
| 00:54 | <Talman> | !google "perfect ubuntu 7.10 server setup" |
| 00:54 | <linbot> | Talman: Search took 0.28 seconds: The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon ( Ubuntu 7.10 ...: <http://howtoforge.com/perfect_server_ubuntu7.10>;; The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon ( Ubuntu 7.10 ) - Page 3 ...: <http://howtoforge.com/perfect_server_ubuntu7.10_p3>;; The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon ( Ubuntu 7.10 ...: <http://www.howtoforge.org/perfect_server_ubuntu7.10>;; Digg - Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon ( (3 more messages) |
| 00:54 | <Talman> | First link. |
| 00:54 | <Talman> | The howto forge one. |
| 00:55 | <Talman> | Thats a howto on setting up a server using Ubuntu 7.10 |
| 00:55 | <Talman> | Generally "The Ubuntu Way" |
| 00:56 | <buzzPo> | cool. should i follow the steps in that tutorial right now? |
| 00:57 | <Talman> | Yes. |
| 00:57 | <buzzPo> | great. i will report back asap |
| 00:58 | <Talman> | k |
| 00:59 | <arooni-mobile> | shold i worry about this: rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1385) [generator=2.6.9] |
| 01:00 | <Talman> | Depends on what vanished. |
| 01:00 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: it's kind of expected on a running system, but yeah, depends on what vanished |
| 01:00 | <arooni-mobile> | how can i know |
| 01:01 | <bd_> | at this point, you can't, since it's a while which existed on the old at the start of rsync, and was deleted before rsync reached it. So it never got copied anywhere |
| 01:01 | <arooni-mobile> | ah ok |
| 01:01 | <arooni-mobile> | youd think rsync would log it |
| 01:01 | <bd_> | only if you tell it to |
| 01:02 | <bd_> | 2>log or something |
| 01:02 | <bd_> | ideally you'd not do the rsync with a running system at all, but rather one with everything but sshd stopped |
| 01:02 | <bd_> | (on the old system) |
| 01:02 | <bd_> | but obv this results in downtime |
| 01:02 | <bd_> | you'll need some downtime to sync your databases though.. |
| 01:02 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, ok so rsync finished... do i need to do anything else now |
| 01:02 | <bd_> | and switch DNS ovetr |
| 01:02 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: was mysql running at the time of the rsync |
| 01:02 | <arooni-mobile> | yes |
| 01:02 | <bd_> | or any other database |
| 01:03 | <arooni-mobile> | i can take it down and re-do rsync again |
| 01:03 | <arooni-mobile> | now is an OK time for downtime |
| 01:03 | <bd_> | shut it off, rsync over its lib directory with --delete-after |
| 01:03 | <bd_> | 21:37 < bd_> rsync oldserver:/var/lib/mysql/ /mnt/var/lib/mysql/ -avvz --progress |
| 01:03 | <bd_> | --stats --delete-after |
| 01:03 | <bd_> | like that |
| 01:03 | <bd_> | need to shut down mysql first of course |
| 01:03 | <arooni-mobile> | i was just wondering if there was anything else to do |
| 01:03 | <arooni-mobile> | once that was done |
| 01:04 | <bd_> | update /etc/fstab, /etc/inittab for your new devices |
| 01:07 | <arooni-mobile> | ok now sure how that works let me do the mysql thing and then ask you when i'm ready |
| 01:07 | <arooni-mobile> | not sure i mean |
| 01:08 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, can i do that updating while scp runs ? |
| 01:08 | <bd_> | scp? oO |
| 01:08 | <arooni-mobile> | sorry i mean rsync! |
| 01:08 | <bd_> | :) |
| 01:09 | <bd_> | if you're rsyncing over just the mysql dir then yes |
| 01:09 | <arooni-mobile> | i managed to do the rsync on the whole thing |
| 01:09 | <arooni-mobile> | that was probably silly |
| 01:09 | <arooni-mobile> | i should just stop it i think |
| 01:09 | <bd_> | it should finish soon-ish, hopefully |
| 01:10 | <arooni-mobile> | ok so can you talk me through the fstab thing |
| 01:10 | <arooni-mobile> | is it ok to do at same time? |
| 01:10 | <arooni-mobile> | if so.. lets do it! |
| 01:10 | <bd_> | no because rsync may clobber your changes |
| 01:10 | <arooni-mobile> | ok lets not do it! |
| 01:11 | <arooni-mobile> | how come when i type a long command |
| 01:11 | <booja> | you can dance though |
| 01:12 | <booja> | of you want to |
| 01:12 | <arooni-mobile> | on my terminal it overwrites the beginning of the command |
| 01:12 | <arooni-mobile> | instead of going to the next line |
| 01:12 | <arooni-mobile> | its really annoying |
| 01:12 | <booja> | it's wrapping |
| 01:12 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: your terminal is confused about the width of your screen most likely |
| 01:12 | <booja> | see the $ sign? |
| 01:12 | <bd_> | er |
| 01:12 | <bd_> | your shell |
| 01:12 | <arooni-mobile> | i'm not sure if i'm running a shell i just see: li25-146:/# |
| 01:12 | <arooni-mobile> | i like bash if that isn't running already |
| 01:12 | <bd_> | you are (it's what processes your commands) |
| 01:12 | <booja> | yeah, your shell is how you interact with the system |
| 01:12 | <arooni-mobile> | ah ok |
| 01:13 | <bd_> | how are you connecting? |
| 01:13 | <arooni-mobile> | via ubuntu gutsy's termnial |
| 01:13 | <bd_> | lish to the host or ssh to the linode itself? |
| 01:13 | <arooni-mobile> | ssh to linode |
| 01:13 | <bd_> | hmm |
| 01:13 | <arooni-mobile> | ok anyways thats a problem for a later day |
| 01:13 | <bd_> | try kill -WINCH $$ |
| 01:13 | <arooni-mobile> | what do i do about the fstab thing |
| 01:13 | <arooni-mobile> | ok |
| 01:13 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: are you on xen? |
| 01:14 | <arooni-mobile> | -bash: try: command not found |
| 01:14 | -!- | blorpy [~spork@frotz.zork.net] has quit [Quit: leaving] |
| 01:14 | <bd_> | try is not part of the command |
| 01:14 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, yes (the quad core thing) right ? alternative to UML? |
| 01:14 | <arooni-mobile> | hahha |
| 01:14 | <bd_> | yes |
| 01:14 | <arooni-mobile> | arooni fails |
| 01:14 | <arooni-mobile> | now it seems to wrap |
| 01:14 | <bd_> | works or...? |
| 01:15 | <arooni-mobile> | i mean works great |
| 01:15 | <arooni-mobile> | do i have to do that everytime the server starts up?? |
| 01:15 | <bd_> | ah, good :) |
| 01:15 | <bd_> | it shouldn't normally be a problem |
| 01:15 | <bd_> | did you resize your terminal while another command was running? |
| 01:15 | -!- | sveiss [~sveiss@host81-152-13-251.range81-152.btcentralplus.com] has quit [Quit: sveiss] |
| 01:16 | <arooni-mobile> | hmm dont think so |
| 01:16 | <arooni-mobile> | can we do fstab thing? ;p |
| 01:16 | <bd_> | okahy |
| 01:17 | <bd_> | open up /etc/fstab, make sure / is /dev/xvda and swap /dev/xvdb |
| 01:17 | <bd_> | save and exit |
| 01:17 | <bd_> | as for inittab, make sure this line is in the getty section: |
| 01:17 | <bd_> | 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 |
| 01:17 | <bd_> | and comment out all the other lines mentioning getty |
| 01:18 | <arooni-mobile> | /dev/xvda / ext3 defaults 0 0 # good right? |
| 01:18 | <bd_> | yep |
| 01:20 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, so apparently i didnt need to change either file |
| 01:20 | <arooni-mobile> | they are exactly as you described already |
| 01:20 | <bd_> | oh, good :) |
| 01:20 | <arooni-mobile> | is that to be expected? |
| 01:20 | <bd_> | if you're moving from another xen host, yes |
| 01:20 | <arooni-mobile> | ah that explains it |
| 01:20 | <arooni-mobile> | ok whats next? |
| 01:20 | <arooni-mobile> | reboot? |
| 01:20 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: you've re-rsynced the mysql and etc? |
| 01:20 | <arooni-mobile> | yes |
| 01:20 | <bd_> | if so, before rebooting: |
| 01:21 | <bd_> | go to https://www.linode.com/members/utilities/watchdog.cfm and disable lassie |
| 01:21 | <bd_> | then /sbin/shutdown -h now |
| 01:21 | <arooni-mobile> | wth is lassie |
| 01:21 | <arooni-mobile> | ah ok its there |
| 01:21 | <bd_> | it auto-reboots your linode if it shuts down unexpectedly |
| 01:21 | <arooni-mobile> | but if i reboot via control panel |
| 01:21 | <arooni-mobile> | lassie wont let me? |
| 01:22 | <bd_> | you can shut down from control panel, I just personally prefer to initiate it within the vps |
| 01:22 | <bd_> | and if a shutdown occurs from within the vps, lassie will un-shut it down |
| 01:22 | <bd_> | anyway |
| 01:22 | <bd_> | once you've got it shutting down |
| 01:22 | <arooni-mobile> | ok cool ill try it your way |
| 01:22 | <arooni-mobile> | so how do i reboot |
| 01:22 | <arooni-mobile> | from command line |
| 01:22 | <arooni-mobile> | 'reboot' ? |
| 01:22 | <bd_> | not reboot, shutdown |
| 01:22 | <bd_> | /sbin/shutdown -h now |
| 01:23 | <arooni-mobile> | The system is going down for system halt NOW! #awesome |
| 01:23 | <arooni-mobile> | ok now we cross our fingers and hope right |
| 01:23 | <bd_> | then go to https://www.linode.com/members/config_edit.cfm?id=new and create a new config profile. Set xvda to your big root partition and xvdb to your swap. Turn off rename /lib/tls |
| 01:23 | <bd_> | and hit save |
| 01:23 | <bd_> | (the /lib/tls thing is not needed anymore with the newer xen hypervisors) |
| 01:24 | <bd_> | (and does bad things in certain rare-ish cases anyway) |
| 01:24 | <arooni-mobile> | should is always be disabled |
| 01:24 | <arooni-mobile> | even on UML |
| 01:24 | <bd_> | it's not an option on UML |
| 01:24 | <arooni-mobile> | ok |
| 01:24 | <bd_> | once you've saved it, boot using that new profile |
| 01:24 | <bd_> | and then cross your fingers |
| 01:24 | <bd_> | if it doesn't seem to come up, use lish to login, and verify that your networking config is correct (/etc/network/interfaces) |
| 01:25 | * | arooni-mobile is booting & crossing fingers |
| 01:25 | <bd_> | (lish instructions will be at https://www.linode.com/members/remote.cfm ) |
| 01:25 | <arooni-mobile> | so boot said it was successful but i cant ssh in :(((((( |
| 01:25 | <bd_> | okay, wait a minute or two |
| 01:25 | <arooni-mobile> | ok |
| 01:25 | <bd_> | if it's still down, use lish to login |
| 01:26 | <bd_> | and check the network config |
| 01:26 | <arooni-mobile> | i thought it only took 10 seconds to login |
| 01:26 | <arooni-mobile> | i mean to boot |
| 01:26 | <bd_> | it's probably on the wrong IP address |
| 01:26 | <bd_> | depends on how much you have running at startup |
| 01:26 | <arooni-mobile> | not much |
| 01:27 | <arooni-mobile> | hmmm |
| 01:27 | <bd_> | okay, then use lish to get in |
| 01:27 | <arooni-mobile> | ok |
| 01:28 | <bd_> | you'll have to check that remote.cfm page, the host to ssh into varies depending on which physical host you're on |
| 01:28 | <arooni-mobile> | what is my password ? |
| 01:28 | <arooni-mobile> | i think its using the one for logging into linode |
| 01:28 | <bd_> | same password as linode.com |
| 01:28 | <arooni-mobile> | ok well we have a problem |
| 01:28 | <arooni-mobile> | cuz i'm typing the same password |
| 01:28 | <bd_> | ? |
| 01:28 | <arooni-mobile> | and it isnt letting me in |
| 01:29 | <arooni-mobile> | just for kicks i logged in/out of linode control panel |
| 01:29 | <bd_> | you did the username@ right? |
| 01:29 | <arooni-mobile> | yeah i copied the command from the page you gave me |
| 01:29 | <bd_> | okay |
| 01:29 | <bd_> | backup plan |
| 01:29 | <bd_> | do you have an ssh key? |
| 01:29 | <arooni-mobile> | on my dev PC? |
| 01:29 | <bd_> | on whatever pc you usually have convenient access to |
| 01:29 | <arooni-mobile> | yes |
| 01:29 | <arooni-mobile> | i think so |
| 01:30 | <bd_> | https://www.linode.com/members/sshkeys.cfm drop a public ssh key here |
| 01:30 | <bd_> | then that'll set lish up to accept logins using that key |
| 01:31 | <arooni-mobile> | should the key start with ssh-dss |
| 01:31 | <arooni-mobile> | or does it start after that |
| 01:31 | <bd_> | yes |
| 01:31 | <bd_> | the whole thing |
| 01:31 | <arooni-mobile> | ah ok good |
| 01:31 | <bd_> | including ssh-dsa |
| 01:31 | <arooni-mobile> | thats what i put |
| 01:31 | <arooni-mobile> | ok that was successful |
| 01:31 | <bd_> | okay, watch the dashboard to see when it's installed - it should only take a minute or two |
| 01:31 | <arooni-mobile> | done |
| 01:32 | <arooni-mobile> | ok great |
| 01:32 | <bd_> | okay, now try logging in again |
| 01:32 | <arooni-mobile> | now it lets me on |
| 01:32 | <bd_> | okay |
| 01:32 | <arooni-mobile> | i had to do the lish shell though |
| 01:32 | <bd_> | now log in at your server's prompt there |
| 01:32 | <bd_> | and edit /etc/network/interfaces |
| 01:32 | <bd_> | to match your new IP at https://www.linode.com/members/remote.cfm |
| 01:32 | <arooni-mobile> | what is my login |
| 01:32 | <arooni-mobile> | i thought its root |
| 01:32 | <arooni-mobile> | and my servers password |
| 01:32 | -!- | mariorz [~mariorz@li10-58.members.linode.com] has joined #linode |
| 01:32 | <bd_> | whatever it was on your old server |
| 01:32 | <arooni-mobile> | oh right |
| 01:32 | <bd_> | you're looking at a copy of your old server now |
| 01:32 | <arooni-mobile> | ah ha! |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | actually here's the lazy way to setup /etc/network/interfaces |
| 01:33 | <mariorz> | im getting another linode anyone want me to use their promo code? |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | auto lo |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | iface lo inet loopback |
| 01:33 | <mariorz> | :D |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | auto eth0 |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | iface eth0 inet dhcp |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | *done* |
| 01:33 | <arooni-mobile> | mariorz, please use mine |
| 01:33 | <arooni-mobile> | first! ;p i'm new to linode so could use whatever benefit i get from referring you |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: there are no promo codes, mariorz is trolling :) |
| 01:33 | <arooni-mobile> | i dont know if that kosher |
| 01:33 | <arooni-mobile> | damn |
| 01:33 | <arooni-mobile> | ok |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | anyway put those four lines into /etc/network/interfaces |
| 01:33 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, are you sure just those lines |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 |
| 01:33 | <mariorz> | heh orly? im readint promotion code here |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | yep |
| 01:33 | <arooni-mobile> | there are more in my thing |
| 01:33 | <bd_> | that's enough if you have only one IP |
| 01:34 | <mariorz> | didnt mean to troll if that type of thing isnt cool |
| 01:34 | <bd_> | mariorz: where? :) |
| 01:34 | <buzzPo> | hey... i am brand new to linode and im trying to get my account set up; im trying to install mysql, apache, php, etc. Talman advised me to follow the steps on this site: http://howtoforge.com/perfect_server_ubuntu7.10 however, i cannot install php |
| 01:34 | <bd_> | there are no active coupon codes |
| 01:34 | <bd_> | and no referral codes either |
| 01:34 | <mariorz> | on the sing up page for getting another linode |
| 01:34 | <mariorz> | https://www.linode.com/signup/?extrasMode=2 |
| 01:34 | <bd_> | mariorz: yes, there's a field, but there's nothing you can enter there that would be accepted at the moment :) |
| 01:34 | <mariorz> | cool |
| 01:35 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, dont i have to look up my ip address |
| 01:35 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: You can manually edit /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf using infor from https://www.linode.com/members/remote.cfm |
| 01:35 | <bd_> | but if you use dhcp it's all automagically set up |
| 01:35 | <arooni-mobile> | ah fantastic |
| 01:35 | <arooni-mobile> | ok should i reboot again |
| 01:35 | <bd_> | assuming you only need one IP (you can always add more later) |
| 01:35 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: first do: |
| 01:35 | <bd_> | ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 |
| 01:35 | <bd_> | and see if you can ssh in normally (you will get a key change warning) |
| 01:36 | <bd_> | if you succeed, then reboot |
| 01:36 | <bd_> | (just 'reboot' at the console) |
| 01:36 | <arooni-mobile> | i am failing |
| 01:36 | <bd_> | failing? |
| 01:36 | <bd_> | in what way |
| 01:36 | <arooni-mobile> | hang on |
| 01:37 | <arooni-mobile> | i think i typed that command on my old server (at old host) |
| 01:37 | <bd_> | ack! that is very not good >_> |
| 01:37 | <arooni-mobile> | i was getting confused |
| 01:37 | <bd_> | er, is your old server still up? <_< |
| 01:38 | <bd_> | (tip: you can label the prompt in one session with PS1="somelabel $PS1") |
| 01:38 | <arooni-mobile> | ah but thats where i got confused |
| 01:38 | <arooni-mobile> | they both say the same thing |
| 01:38 | <arooni-mobile> | and i had a multitab console open |
| 01:38 | <arooni-mobile> | oops |
| 01:39 | -!- | irgeek [~irgeek@cealsa01.centamin.com] has joined #linode |
| 01:39 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, ok i had that wrong |
| 01:39 | <arooni-mobile> | i edited the right file |
| 01:39 | <arooni-mobile> | on the right server |
| 01:39 | <arooni-mobile> | ran the ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 |
| 01:39 | <arooni-mobile> | no dice :( |
| 01:40 | <bd_> | hmm |
| 01:40 | <bd_> | ifconfig eth0 and paste here: http://pastebin.linode.com/ |
| 01:40 | <arooni-mobile> | http://pastie.caboo.se/161016 |
| 01:41 | <arooni-mobile> | im partial to pastie |
| 01:41 | <bd_> | what's the correct IP for your linode? |
| 01:42 | <arooni-mobile> | 70.87.222.146 |
| 01:42 | <arooni-mobile> | that inet address is the old one |
| 01:42 | <bd_> | cat /etc/network/interfaces; ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 <-- paste the complete output of typing this |
| 01:42 | <arooni-mobile> | that you see pasted |
| 01:42 | <arooni-mobile> | ok |
| 01:42 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, updated same pastie http://pastie.caboo.se/161016 |
| 01:43 | <bd_> | you typoed the command :) |
| 01:43 | <bd_> | ifup eth0 |
| 01:43 | <arooni-mobile> | haha |
| 01:43 | <arooni-mobile> | O and not 0 |
| 01:43 | <arooni-mobile> | like the letter |
| 01:43 | <bd_> | zero |
| 01:43 | <arooni-mobile> | cuz i typed 0 like the # |
| 01:43 | <bd_> | eth zero |
| 01:43 | <bd_> | you just typed eth |
| 01:44 | <arooni-mobile> | ok |
| 01:44 | <arooni-mobile> | see again |
| 01:44 | <bd_> | hmm, it should've succeeded. How does ifconfig look now? |
| 01:45 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, ok see updated |
| 01:45 | <arooni-mobile> | looks better! |
| 01:45 | <arooni-mobile> | 127.0.0.1 |
| 01:45 | <bd_> | yeah but where'd eth0 go? |
| 01:45 | <arooni-mobile> | zomg :( i donno |
| 01:45 | <bd_> | you asked for eth0 to come up... and there was no error oO |
| 01:45 | <booja> | into the ether... |
| 01:45 | <arooni-mobile> | oh no |
| 01:45 | <arooni-mobile> | that makes me really sad |

| 01:46 | <bd_> | ifup --force -v eth0 |
| 01:47 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, ok updated |
| 01:47 | <arooni-mobile> | ifconfig still doesnt show eth0 |

| 01:47 | <arooni-mobile> | maybe rimuhosting sabotaged my linux when they knew i was leaving |
| 01:47 | <bd_> | is dhcp3-client installed? |
| 01:48 | <bd_> | no |
| 01:48 | <bd_> | dpkg -l dhcp3-client |
| 01:48 | <arooni-mobile> | | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |
| 01:48 | <arooni-mobile> | un dhcp3-client <none> (no description available) |
| 01:48 | <arooni-mobile> | uninstalled i guess? |
| 01:48 | <bd_> | ah. yes. that'd do it. |
| 01:48 | <bd_> | okay, the lazy method is out :/ |
| 01:48 | <arooni-mobile> | damn |
| 01:48 | <arooni-mobile> | cant we install this new package |
| 01:49 | <arooni-mobile> | and do lazy mode! |
| 01:49 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: not without network! |
| 01:49 | <arooni-mobile> | oh noes |
| 01:49 | <arooni-mobile> | how about restarting? |
| 01:49 | <arooni-mobile> | do we get network then? |
| 01:49 | <bd_> | not directly |
| 01:49 | <arooni-mobile> | oh ok |
| 01:49 | <arooni-mobile> | so what do i need to do now |
| 01:49 | <bd_> | you could go back into your recovery partition but it's easier to do it manually |
| 01:49 | <bd_> | okay leave the lo lines alone |
| 01:49 | <bd_> | and ... *checks syntax* |
| 01:50 | <arooni-mobile> | btw bd_ thanks for all this help |
| 01:50 | <arooni-mobile> | couldnt do it without you |
| 01:50 | <bd_> | okay, make the lines with eth0 looks like this: |
| 01:50 | <bd_> | auto eth0 |
| 01:50 | <bd_> | iface eth0 inet static |
| 01:50 | <bd_> | address <copy from remove.cfm> |
| 01:50 | <bd_> | netmask <copy from remote.cfm> |
| 01:50 | <bd_> | gateway <copy from remote.cfm> |
| 01:50 | <bd_> | also update /etc/resolv.conf - it should look like: |
| 01:51 | <bd_> | well, the only important thing about that is all the nameserver lines should match the ones listed on remote.cfm |
| 01:51 | <bd_> | preferably in the same order |
| 01:51 | <bd_> | once you've edited both, ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 |
| 01:51 | <bd_> | and check ifconfig again |
| 01:51 | <arooni-mobile> | ok question! what do i do with: iface lo inet loopback; and iface eth0 inet dhcp |
| 01:52 | <arooni-mobile> | get rid of them? |
| 01:52 | <bd_> | leave iface lo inet loopback and auto lo alone |
| 01:52 | <bd_> | remove iface eth0 inet dhcp |
| 01:52 | <arooni-mobile> | does it matter the order i type them |
| 01:52 | <bd_> | so in the end it should have: |
| 01:52 | <bd_> | auto lo |
| 01:52 | <bd_> | iface lo inet loopback |
| 01:52 | <bd_> | and then the five lines I listed above |
| 01:53 | <bd_> | with the proper values from https://www.linode.com/members/remote.cfm filled in |
| 01:55 | <arooni-mobile> | SIOCDELRT: No such process |
| 01:55 | <arooni-mobile> | when i run ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 |
| 01:55 | <bd_> | okay, that's probably harmless |
| 01:55 | <arooni-mobile> | buT! eth0 is up! |
| 01:55 | <bd_> | \o/ |
| 01:55 | <arooni-mobile> | with the right ip address |
| 01:55 | <bd_> | does normal ssh work? |
| 01:55 | <arooni-mobile> | is that a ball in a cup? |
| 01:55 | <bd_> | if so, reboot and see how everything else looks |
| 01:55 | <arooni-mobile> | @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ |
| 01:55 | <arooni-mobile> | when i try to ssh in again |
| 01:55 | <bd_> | yes, that's expected |
| 01:55 | <bd_> | remove the cited line from ~/.ssh/known_hosts |
| 01:56 | <arooni-mobile> | the one that gives RSA fingerpint key |
| 01:56 | <bd_> | yep, the one that gives the key corresponding to your linode's IP |
| 01:56 | <bd_> | because now that you've restored from your old machine, the IP's changed |
| 01:56 | <arooni-mobile> | i dont know which one this is |
| 01:56 | <arooni-mobile> | they are not the same |
| 01:57 | <bd_> | ? |
| 01:57 | <arooni-mobile> | one is like 16 hex chars |
| 01:57 | <bd_> | oh, it's probably listed more than once, isn't it? |
| 01:57 | <bd_> | eh |
| 01:57 | <arooni-mobile> | the known_hosts is a bunch of giberish |
| 01:57 | <arooni-mobile> | oh you said IP |
| 01:57 | <arooni-mobile> | thats the ky |
| 01:57 | <arooni-mobile> | key |
| 01:57 | <bd_> | ? |
| 01:57 | <bd_> | each entry in the .ssh/known_hosts file should start with host,ip or similar |
| 01:58 | <bd_> | find the one corresponding to your linode (ssh should've mentioned the line number) and delete it |
| 01:58 | <arooni-mobile> | ok it doesnt exist in that file i swear |
| 01:58 | <arooni-mobile> | can i just blow away the entire thing |
| 01:58 | <bd_> | you can but then ssh will warn "I don't know who this host is :( :(" for every one |
| 01:58 | <bd_> | it's probably the second to last line |
| 01:59 | <bd_> | the last being lish |
| 01:59 | <arooni-mobile> | zomg i can ssh in! |
| 01:59 | <arooni-mobile> | wow |
| 01:59 | <arooni-mobile> | ok whats next? |
| 01:59 | <bd_> | :) |
| 01:59 | <bd_> | okay now reboot |
| 01:59 | <arooni-mobile> | thanks bd_! |
| 01:59 | <bd_> | then make sure things are working |
| 01:59 | <bd_> | and then repoint DNS :D |
| 01:59 | <bd_> | it may be helpful to change your local /etc/hosts while you're testing it |
| 01:59 | <arooni-mobile> | what is that |
| 02:00 | <bd_> | lets you override DNS just for your own machine |
| 02:00 | <arooni-mobile> | can you elaborate |
| 02:00 | <bd_> | so you can go to phonemyphone.com, and /just for your own dev machine/ it'd go to the new server |
| 02:00 | <arooni-mobile> | oh wow |
| 02:00 | <bd_> | just add a line with: |
| 02:00 | <arooni-mobile> | thats rather clever |
| 02:00 | <iggy> | wow, you guys are still going |
| 02:00 | <bd_> | yourip phonemyphone.com |
| 02:00 | <arooni-mobile> | iggy, i had to eat dinner |
| 02:00 | <bd_> | to /etc/hosts on your local machine |
| 02:00 | <arooni-mobile> | i was gone for about 3 hours |
| 02:00 | <iggy> | ahh |
| 02:00 | <bd_> | and remove it when you're done, it's too easy to forget otherwise |
| 02:01 | <bd_> | ... I still have override entries from when my school had routing issues to wikipedia oO |
| 02:01 | <arooni-mobile> | does taht apply if i have my dns hosted somewhere else |
| 02:01 | <bd_> | right, no more bouncing off france for me |
| 02:01 | <arooni-mobile> | bd_, you're in school still? |
| 02:01 | <arooni-mobile> | man you know a lot about all this |
| 02:01 | <bd_> | university |
| 02:01 | <bd_> | arooni-mobile: and yes, /etc/hosts overrides all DNS everywhere |
| 02:01 | <bd_> | well |
| 02:01 | <bd_> | all DNS, but only from the POV of the computer you do it on |
| 02:01 | <bd_> | it just won't bother asking DNS |
| 02:02 | <arooni-mobile> | i havent yet changed the IP address for my dns entry to linode yet |
| 02:02 | <bd_> | right |
| 02:02 | <bd_> | setting /etc/hosts on your dev machine will make it pretend that you have |
| 02:05 | <arooni-mobile> | Mysql::Error (Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)): |

| 02:06 | <bd_> | I've seen people with that sort of problem before |
| 02:06 | <bd_> | well |
| 02:06 | <bd_> | is mysql running, first |

| 02:08 | <bd_> | look in /var/log/mysql.err |
| 02:08 | <bd_> | (I'm not really an mysql expert, so I'll be sort of winging it from here on out, note) |
| 02:08 | <arooni-mobile> | theres nothign in that file |
| 02:08 | <bd_> | how about .log? |
| 02:09 | <arooni-mobile> | also nothing |
| 02:09 | <bd_> | hmm |
| 02:09 | <arooni-mobile> | should i reinstall mysql |
| 02:10 | <bd_> | I dont know if that'll have much of an effect |
| 02:10 | <irgeek> | Try checking dmesg and /var/log/messages |
| 02:10 | <bd_> | problem being, I have no idea how to get debug information out of mysql |

| 02:12 | <bd_> | on old: /etc/init.d/mysql stop |
| 02:12 | <bd_> | pidof mysqld <-- paranoid, shouldn't show anything at all |
| 02:12 | <bd_> | then on new: |
| 02:13 | <bd_> | rsync old:/var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql/ -avvz --delete-after |
| 02:13 | <bd_> | make sure you have the order of arguments right :) |
| 02:14 | <arooni-mobile> | ok cool |
| 02:14 | <arooni-mobile> | done |
| 02:14 | <bd_> | now try /etc/init.d/mysql start on the new |
| 02:14 | <arooni-mobile> | and it works! |
| 02:14 | <bd_> | \o/ |
| 02:14 | <bd_> | okay, keep testing the test of it :) |
| 02:14 | <bd_> | I need to get some sleep for now though :| |
| 02:15 | <arooni-mobile> | thanks bd_ for all your help! |
| 02:15 | <arooni-mobile> | have a great sleep |
| 02:15 | <arooni-mobile> | why does linode seem about half a second slower to load the same page than does rimu |
| 02:15 | <arooni-mobile> | rimuhosting |
| 02:15 | <arooni-mobile> | my linode has an extra 100 or so MB of ram |
| 02:16 | <bd_> | cold cache? more latency to your location? some subtle misconfiguration that's causing it to time out...? |
| 02:16 | <bd_> | hard to say... and again I need to go now :| |
| 02:16 | <iggy> | yeah, I was going to say cache |
| 02:16 | <arooni-mobile> | ok cool |
| 02:16 | <arooni-mobile> | i wasn't asking you specifcially :p |
| 02:16 | <arooni-mobile> | what is cold cache |
| 02:16 | <iggy> | first page view |
| 02:17 | <iggy> | effectively |
| 02:17 | <irgeek> | arooni-mobile: Are there links in those pages that use a different hostname so would still be pointing to your rimu account? |
| 02:17 | <iggy> | could really be a bunch of things |
| 02:17 | <iggy> | and half a second isn't really much to worry about imo |
| 02:18 | <iggy> | of course that's coming from someone who recently got "help" on the site he is building, and they have somehow managed to make even the simplest page take 10 secs to load |

| 03:37 | <arooni-mobile> | how do i change my root password |
| 03:37 | <arooni-mobile> | if i forgot |
| 03:38 | <metaperl> | if you are root, then type passwd |
| 03:38 | <arooni-mobile> | oh i rembered it |
| 03:38 | <arooni-mobile> | if i couldnt remember it |
| 03:38 | <arooni-mobile> | would i be hosed |
| 03:39 | <webPragmatist> | arooni-mobile: no go in your panel |
| 03:39 | <metaperl> | on a local machine, you could boot via a cdrom or floppy and edit it, but on a remote machine, I have no idea |
| 03:39 | <webPragmatist> | and there's an option to change root password |
| 03:40 | <webPragmatist> | under utilities |

| 03:41 | <webPragmatist> | I wish linode had better ticket speed |
| 03:41 | <webPragmatist> | guess i should goto sleep instead |
| 03:51 | <irgeek> | metaperl: Linode provides a recovery distro for just such things: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Finnix_LiveCD_Recovery_Distribution |
| 03:52 | <metaperl> | oh |
| 03:55 | <arooni-mobile> | can someone help me fix my ssh |
| 03:55 | <arooni-mobile> | i blew it up |
| 03:55 | <arooni-mobile> | following: http://articles.slicehost.com/2007/9/5/debian-etch-setup-page-1 |
| 03:57 | <irgeek> | arooni-mobile: Can you give more detail than "blew it up" |
| 03:57 | <arooni-mobile> | irgeek, sure |
| 03:58 | <arooni-mobile> | basically with this config: http://pastie.caboo.se/161054 |
| 03:58 | <arooni-mobile> | i get this: ssh: connect to host 70.87.222.146 port 22: Connection refused |
