Does your server have the relevant apache php modules installed?

When I want to have Apache+Php+MySQL I just install the whole shebang with:

sudo tasksel install lamp-server

It sounds like Apache hasn't been configured to use php.

just a quick note as it's late but hope it helps.

[ubuntu-uk] apache not correctly running php scripts

2010-10-20 Thread Jacob Mansfield 
I am trying to install squirrelmail onto my new mail server, however it
appears that Apache is not running the server-side php scripts as when I try
to open the squirrelmail page FireFox reports that the file will be
downloaded as it's mime type is application/x-httpd-suphp if i open the
downloaded file I can see that none of the php has been phrased is is
clearly visible, which it should not be. I'd like some help on this one as

Well having got in from work and looked through my IRC scrollback it 
would appear that you got all abusive and earned yourself a ban from the 
channel in less than an hour, during which time you *were* being helped 
and your initial networking issue was solved (albeit by plugging the 
wire in correctly). People come and go on the channel and you were 
requested to be patient. If you had waited, maybe provided more 
information someone else would have come along who knew a bit more about 
what it was you were trying to do and would have been able to help you 
further.

I don't want to turn this into a long argumentative and ultimately 
pointless thread, but I would invite you to look through the logs for 
today, all of it, including the bit you were in and see what normally 
happens in the channel.

Looks good.  I wish I could have made it, alas I've been so busy.

If things work out down here in Devon we might be able to have a release 
party for 11.04 in April.  I guess we don't need much, maybe a couple of 
PCs to demonstrate Ubuntu and some refreshments, CDs etc and maybe a 
follow up event to help folks install Ubuntu.

While Chris is right I think it only clouds the issue. The general rule is that 
once a release is official the only changes are bug fixes.

Firefox is one of the exceptions 


Generally if you want newer versions of packages you need to enable Backports

Gentlemen,

I'm not saying that Mr Matthews doesn't deserve it, but continually reminding 
an extremely frustrated person whose own problem isn't being resolved how 
helpful everybody is is only going to push them further over the edge. Might we 
agree not to rub his nose in the generally excellent quality of Ubuntu 
community support if he in turn agrees not to call the community a bunch of 
lazy bastards?

I should like to ask two questions that I think we've lost sight of in the 
enthusiasm for flame wars and the new geek locator project.

1) Did we, in fact, find somebody near John who might be able to pop over and 
help him out?

2) What was his problem anyway?

[ubuntu-uk] how to's is this useful to someone

2010-10-20 Thread Paul Sutton 
Hi

I have created a quick how to, in order to explain how to take a few
photos and print these on 1 sheet of paper, using gthumb,

http://www.zleap.net/how-to/howto.htm

I am using 10.04 but I am guessing the procedure is the same for 10.10

the above links to the work in progress,  I think its more wording and
text that needs sorting out.

anyway, feel free to use the above,  I have asked on #ubuntu-manual but
was told that its too specific,  I am fine with this, but want to share
anyway as it may be useful.

Nagios is a fantastic tool for monitoring machine states.  You can capture
and get reporting on almost anything regarding service states and
uptime/downtime, configure for SMS and email alerts, report on SNMP and WMI
data, etc

The project has recently been forked, and Icinga (http://icinga.org) is
looking very promising too.

We actively use Nagios and offer hosted instances for some of our clients -
our fully managed clients are monitored using Nagios by default.  That way
we usually know about issues before our clients do (low disk space on
servers, stopped services, loss of connectivity, etc).

I used to use OCS at my previous employer - again it's very feature rich and
works best in conjunction with GLPI as a ticketing system.  Great for
producing ad-hoc reports on hardware, checking specs, and installed software
and service pack versions without leaving your desk :) Definitely worth a
look.

Oh and for nmap, to identify hardware/OS by vendor, the command would be

nmap -T4 -A 192.168.1.0/24

If it's a large subnet and you'd like greppable output it would be:

nmap -T4 -A -oG scan.txt 192.168.1.0/24

Hope this helps

I use Nagios at work on a CentOS install, the company I work for use SME (
God it's horrible ) but it's also based on CentOS so you can work your way
round it.

Feel free to fire questions at me, guys in #nagios on Freenode are very

If it was the only router / WiFi then it would have been easy but there are
multiple routers / WiFi access points AND a firewall router (this one is

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Find a Router's IP address

2010-10-20 Thread chris cundy 
Hi,

The simplest way would be to traceroute (tracert on wintel) to a web server.  
Assumming that the router is also the gateway, look for the last IP address in 
your network range, Bingo.  


Failing that connect to the router directly - Ethernet/Wifi - the traceroute to 
a server/IP, the first IP address should be the router.

Good luck with the admin UN/PW

I think that's probably enough, Mr Matthews. The people on this list have 
demonstrated superhuman patience and understanding when dealing with you, and 
have received nothing but abuse in return. It is your own attitude that is 
preventing you from receiving help, and if you can't understand this and tone 
down the rudeness and the sense of entitlement, you should probably just leave.

Well I'm glad that you didn't get help then and I will not help you on here
either. There is no need for it.

If you keep it up I expect you will get banned, people on IRC are there

Well I was going to help you on IRC and then you went and told everyone to F
OFF, I am at work as are a lot of people on the IRC channel we can't just
drop everything to help people.

I think you are very rude and the way you have spoken to people over the
last 2 days no wonder you are not getting any help. People don't do this for
fun you know and not everyone knows the answer to your questions.

Be patient if you want help, but I think you have gone to far for some

And if you *really* want a newer version, you could look into enabling
the '-backports' repository, which will get a newer version of
packages like firefox.

It means that the LTS installation ends up *slightly* less stable than
normal, but more stable than the 6-monthly release.

[ubuntu-uk] Fwd: Release Party Photos

2010-10-20 Thread pmgazz 
I've just got around to putting some pics from our ICT for Resilience 
workshop on Facebook - which was basically an Ubuntu installation, tour 
and maintenance basics workshop: 
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fossbox/246451092550#!/album.php?aid=237905&id=246451092550  
The Lottery funded us to advocate and train the voluntary sector to use 
more FOSS.


It wasn't the usual install fest/party but people said it was a lot of 
fun and they'll pass it on in their organisations.

Hi,

If anyone is going to any Ubuntu release parties over the weekend (and
beyond) please do take pictures! If you have some good ones you'd like
to share I'm sure we'd all like to see them. I know the Ubuntu News
team are interested in pics too!

Cheers,
Al.
