Re: Sugerencias de front end para KVM
Buenas... Hay varias alternativas de las cuales he probado algunas: - kimchi (https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi) - Cockpit Web Console (https://cockpit-project.org/) - VMDashboard (https://vmdashboard.org/) No diría que es una recomendación para lo que buscas (Ya que es un poco salida de onda, si ya tienes tus VMs montadas) es usar PROXMOX ( https://www.proxmox.com/). Es Debian y KVM en la base, y tiene un interfaz web que sirve muy bien para los propósitos de administración de las VMs, maneja clusterización y movimiento en línea de las VMs. Aunque luego no puedas tán fácilmente actualizar, tiene la ventaja de que puedes conectarte a los repos de Debian si luego quieres instalar paquetes adicionales para agregar nuevas funcionalidades. Lo he usado en varias instalaciones, y lo recomiendo usar si buscas una plataforma de virtualización estable. Si ya luego decides pagar la suscripción, tu decides, pero tienes todos los componentes para realizar una buena virtualización desde el primer momento.

Re: Proxmox no se instala
El problema parece provenir de una falla con el medio de instalación y la manera en que este fue grabado (bien sea en CD, DVD o USB). Te recomiendo verificar el archivo de descarga, y el procedimiento con el cual creaste dicha media.

En situaciones de ataques de DDoS he visto incrementarse el uso del procesador considerablemente. Por otro lado, dependiendo del uso que el servidor DNS tenga (DNS primario o secundario, o Cache-Only, o ambos), he visto que tener activo las consultas recursivas (allow-recursion), en especial en situaciones como la anterior, es también la fuente un alto consumo de CPU. Si no es necesario el IPv6 en tu red, además puedes deshabilitar su uso en el servicio DNS y el stack TCP/IP. He leído que su uso requiere también de un alto nivel de procesamiento.

Monitor complains on my grub resolution..
Whenever I boot in the system, while in grub, messages pops up on my monitor that I operate in 800x600 while preferred resolution is 1920x1080. After I got login prompt or in the system itself I god 1920x1080. But do I do with monitor message when it is in grub? Can grub go to 1920x1080 resolution and if so how do I go about it? Very annoying. Thanks
How to tell the system to load right name for wireless card?
Hi list, A couple of days ago I asked why my pc changes the wireless card name. It switches between AR9285 ( right) and AR5008 ( wrong). Someone suggested that this is because another kernel module is loaded by mistake. Well, it is not the case. When system identified with AR9285, it loads ath9k and I can connect to the router. When system identifies my card as AR5008, no kernel module is present at all ( lspci -k). The wrong card name occurs only when system rebooted. If I gracefully shut down the system, it always comes up with a right name for the card ( AR9285). So, how to force the system identify my card right no matter if I reboot or shut down? Thank you.

Es algo basico Por muy cifrado que tengas ese archivo con los datos de la conexión, y dependiendo del protocolo o mecanismo para conectarte con la base de datos, tendrás que descifrar este desde el programa para hacer uso de ellos. Así que con un depurador, algo de experiencia y paciencia, pueden encontrar las credenciales. Y creeme que no es difícil. Además, si tu conexión con la base de datos viaja por canales no cifrados, un analizador de tráfico puede también ayudar a obtenerlos.

Una opción es esta, enviar por htp, o mejor aún por https, emplear sockets, etc, una solicitud de acceso al servidor, con un usuario y contraseña. Desde el servidor, se realiza una conexión a la base de datos, con los datos almacenados de dicha conexión en el servidor, y autenticar al usuario. Una vez que lo has autenticado, puedes devolver un tokken de conexión que valide las comunicaciones realizadas entre ese usuario y el servidor a través de la aplicación. Esto, si te fijas, es igual que cuando accedes a un servicio web introduciendo tu usuario y contraseña desde un navegador web. > Si lo que quieres es una aplicación cliente-servidor, donde el cliente se ejecute desde la estación como una aplicación instalable, y además requieres (tus argumentos tendrás para ello) que se use conexiones a la Base de Datos mediante un único usuario, mi recomendación es mediar con una capa entre el cliente y la BD que exponga la interfaz que deseas que conozca el cliente. Dicha capa se encargará de la funcionalidad, la autenticación y la seguridad entre otros, y allí implementar el protocolo que más convenga. La comunicación con la base de datos quedará bajo este "Middleware", y podrás protegerle mediante firewall u otras medidas, dependiendo de tus recursos y arquitectura. Varios lenguajes tienen facilidades para crear estos componentes, exponiendo mediante "buses de servicio" u otros elementos, un API. Puedes desarrollar además uno propio, pero todo dependerá del alcance propuesto para la aplicación, como por ejemplo, hacer uso de estándares como SOA. Estas tecnologías no son exclusivas de los servicios WEB, aunque su uso este más extendido en ese campo. Con este componente mediando entre tus clientes y el modelo de datos, puedes desacoplar el desarrollo de este, haciendo uso incluso de un lenguaje de programación distinto al usado en el servidor, y disponer de clientes para diferentes sistemas operativos, dispositivos o situaciones como requerimientos de accesibilidad. Siempre encontrarás problemas de seguridad a resolver, pero todo dependerá de los requerimientos exigidos y hasta donde estés dispuesto a ceder y tolerar.

AR9285 identified as AR5008
Hi list, So, here is the thing. My AR9285 mini-pci-e card sometimes identified as AR5008. In this case wireless is not working. I believe that AR5008 is not supported at all, when AR9285 works out of the box and I didn't install even firmware. Usually when I shut down the box, on the next boot wireless identified correctly and works and when I reboot computer it identified as AR5008 and doesn't work. I wonder why is this happen and what can be done to always to use right card not depending on whether I shut down or reboot. Are there anyway to force it in right direction? Thanks.

Projector, Debian, OS X, Windows, HDMI
Hi list, First of all good news. I recently bought not expensive LCD projector. So I hooked it up to my computer's HDMI output, plugged the other end of HDMI cable to projector and voila, all of the context of my monitor was mirrored on the wall. All programs, icons, etc.. I opened up movie player and turned on cartoon and enjoyed it on the screen. This set up running Debian 8.0. Then I tried it to connect to Mac Book Air ( OS X) with the help of mini display port to HDMI cable. For a while I got computer's wallpaper on the wall ( but not the icons and other stuff which is on Mac's display) and connection was lost ( projector displayed "no input" icon. If this is not faulty mini display to HDMI cord, what might me a problem? The third time, Windows machine was connected to projector. By HDMI-HDMI cable. Again, only wallpaper of computer was projected on the wall. No browser and any other programs and icons which are present on the screen of Windows machine. Can anyone clue me in what happens? Does other OS's need to be specifically adjust setting? What are the setting there might be? Anyway, please share your thoughts. Thank you

Nothing really happens. I got lights on keyboard when it's connected to a switch and cursor sort of blinks on system login, but I can't input my ID. If I connect to the system that was already booted, I got black mouse cursor freezed up. Thanks

I saw in BIOS EHCI handoff ( btw, do you what it does? ) and I also can disable legacy devices, except these two I didn't find any USB options in BIOS. FYI, I tried live Ubuntu and live Mint xfce and the results are the same, keyboard and mouse doesn't work. So I guess this is pure linux problem. I mean if everything works in BIOS, it should work also and outside them. Didn't try Windows yet. Thanks for the support.

DVI swtch is not working with Debian 8.0
Hi list, I recently bought this DVI KVM switch: http://en.mt-viki.com/product/KVM/usbkvm_dvi/2014/0712/577.html It claims to support linux and from what I understand it is hardware switch, so it should work. It isn't. To be specific, mouse and keyboard don't work. Both mouse and keyboard works in BIOS though through the switch. I wonder if anyone has any ideas what's the problem might be. Thank you.

Copy all files and folders from USB drive to SATA drive..
Hi everyone. I set up something like NAS for torrent files and installed debian on it. Installed one 4TB internal drive. My files are on USB drive. I'd like to copy all of them from my USB drive to internal drive. Are there any commands to do it in one go? I also formatted internal drive to ext4 filesystem. I hope I've done right thing. Please advice. Thanks

Los productos de VMware no están certificados como LSB. Harán uso de algunas de sus herramientas, en especial las que actualmente Debian deja a disposición en los paquetes lsb-base y lsb-release. Quedará a jucio de VMware Inc., si es un obstáculo para sus nuevas versiones, o si consideran que el sistema operativo Debian deja de ser un objetivo para ellos. A mi juicio, si nuncan han certificado este producto como LSB, y solo hacen uso de algunas herramientas o librerías, como por ejemplo la identificación del sistema o el manejo del estándar Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), el cual no creo que Debian incumpla a mediano plazo, no veo razón para no seguir liberando nuevas versiones que soporten este sistema. Existen muchas herramientas de software propietario que hacen uso de LSB, aun no estando certificadas. De momento recuerdo HP OpenView y HP Operations Manager for Unix. Así mismo, drivers y hasta software libre que hace uso de algunas de ellas. Pero no he conseguido hasta ahora alguna que haga uso extensivo de ellas, lo cual con la decisión tomada, pudiera implicar que deje de instalarse o funcionar correctamente. Si dejasen de soportarlo, y están en su potestad de hacerlo, quizá sería como retaliación y/o medida de presión para provocar que Debian reconsidere la medida, no sería una decisión por razones técnicas. Sin embargo, pienso que hay suficiente software libre como para cubrir todas las necesidades, mas aún en temas de virtualización. -- German Cardozo Chirinos ~ memento mori ~ :wq!
Re: Debian deja el Linux Standard Base. :(
apartamentos "de lujo" o "a la medida". Nadie se mudará allí, y quizá los que lo hagan, se ajustan o terminen haciendo "remodelaciones". Pongo como ejemplo Oracle Database, como pude poner por ejemplo, PostgreSQL. Ambos no están certificados LSB, y en el caso de este último, cada distribución la organiza como mejor le convenga. En mis labores, he tenido que ajustar PostgreSQL para trabajar en pool de servidores, ya que la organización de sus directorios por defecto en Debian a mi modo de ver no es práctica, por ejemplo para manejar varias instancias o incrementar dinámicamente los volúmenes.

La razón fundamental por lo cual Linux no ha crecido en especial en los ambientes de Desktop, es esta falta de estadarización que viene a tratar el LSB de corregir. La mayoría sabemos que no es una opinión nueva. Ya Linus Torvals y Mark Shuttleworth (Ubuntu) lo han expresado en otras ocaciones. Algunos piensan que a los "Padres Fundadores" se les escapó de las manos. Pero no podemos pretender que un software como GNU/Linux, donde todos tenemos la libertad de modificarlo y distribuírlo como nos parezca mejor a nuestros fines, de forma individual, organizado en comunidades, como una organización gubernamental, o como una empresa pequeña, mediana o grande, no exista incompatibilidades. ¿Porqué nacen en principio las distribuciones? ¿Para qué las derivaciones? > Imagínate que un día en el futuro vas a la página de blender y encuentras un > solo paquete binario para sistemas "gnu/linux" eso sería bueno.

No? > Muchos de esta lista, venimos de cuando para instalar un nuevo programa (Ingres, PostgreSQL, Apache HTTPd, entre los que recuerdo, incluyendo Blender) debía ser bajado en código fuente, compilado e instalado. Eran incipientes los administradores de paquetes en la mayoría de las distribuciones de aquel tiempo. Los proyectos no habían crecido lo suficiente, como para soportar una comunidad de desarrolladores que se encargaran de empaquetar para el público, nuevos programas con la velocidad necesaria. Todos debieron trabajar independientemente en mecanismos y estándares propios, que permitieran organizar su trabajo para lanzar cada nueva distribución. Nuevas exigencias fueron haciendo que las distintas distribuciones crecieran, incluyeran nuevos paquetes, se dividieran en diferentes tipos (servers, workstation, desktop, etc.) o según su uso, entre otras opciones. Cada una de ellas, según su organización técnica y sus experiencias, han tomado el software libre que desean, lo empaquetan y lo organizan según sea mejor, en colaboración muchas veces con el mismo desarrollador. Y hasta ahora esto ha funcionado, y es lo que permite que hoy podamos hablar en esta lista de Debian, y en otras de Ubunto, o Fedora o openSuSE. > Me parece que sería definitivamente bueno que nos tomáramos más en serio el > LSB. Digo eso si realmente queremos avanzar más y más rápido. > Ciertamente, sería estupendo contar con esa garantía de poder instalar un nuevo programa sin que sea un obtáculo la distribución GNU/Linux donde se haga; será un logro fascinante, y apuesto a que a futuro podremos lograrlo.

Considerando que el Linux Standard Base (LSB) cumple casi 15 años desde su primera versión[1], y como menciona el artículo[2], solo 8 aplicaciones de 6 compañías son certificadas por LSB, y de ellas solo una es versión superior a 4.0, creo que en la práctica, el logro a sido insignificante, para el trabajo que es poner de acuerdo a compañias como RedHat, SuSE, Oracle, Ubuntu, entre otras. Dichas empresas tienen por supuesto, el "músculo financiero" para seguir un esfuerzo sin resultados, no así las comunidades como Debian que dependen de la contribución de sus desarrolladores. Se debe considerar además, los posibles obstáculos que el cumplimiento de este estándar puedan interponer para el desarrollo de una mejor distribución. Me gustaría ver una aplicación como Oracle Database 11g o 12c, cumpliendo con el estándar LSB, y pudiendo ser instalada sin inconvenientes en Oracle Linux, SuSE Linux, OpenSuSE, Ubuntu y por supuesto Debian, incluyendo por supuesto el soporte de Oracle, asi fuese de pago. De momento y acepto las críticas, lo mas útil que he encontrado en el LSB es: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description:Debian GNU/Linux testing-updates (sid) Release:testing-updates Codename: sid Y esto seguirá siendo mantenido por Debian.

No niego sus aportes, pero: ¿En qué beneficia a un proyecto como Debian? y viceversa: ¿Qué beneficio obtienen ellos de Debian? En un escenario hipotético, si Oracle Linux y Debian estan certificados para LSB 4.0, y la pregunta es casi capsiosa: ¿Qué impide que sus aplicativos sean interoperables entre plataforma?

[Off Topic] e-w60 case and shipping company from China to Russia
Hi list, I am trying to purchase a mini-itx case to put Debian in it. I am very much liking e-w60 realan case: http://www.minicase.net/product_E-W60.html Price Realan quoted was $38 ( with 120 W DC board and 90W power adapter) and I am excited. However the fee for a shipping is $66 via Russian EMS which is way too expensive for me. I wonder if anyone from China have an idea how much costs shipping from China to Russia by any alternative methods? I am sorry that is not Debian specific, just trying to establish my new Debian box and don't see anything close locally to that beautiful case. Please reply privately if possible. Thanks much.

KVM switch: DVI-D, DVI-I or vga?
Hi list, I am shopping locally here for a good KVM switch. For now, I am not even sure what type should I get. What are advantages to have DVI instead of VGA interface? Are there any justifications in price? VGA KVM is about $20, where is DVI is $100. If money is no object, DVI KVM is better than VGA?

If money is no object, DVI KVM is better than VGA? Thanks for all info you can share. I run and work on many different makes and models of PC-compatible computers. VGA and PS/2 are the lowest-common-denominator interfaces -- especially for servers, retail point of sale, and business desktops. So, I have an 8-port KVM with VGA and PS/2 connectors, and a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to match. I use various PS/2-to-USB, DVI-I-to-VGA, DisplayPort-to-VGA, etc., adapters at the computer end of the KVM cables. I don't use USB or microphones through the KVM. I use a passive line-level mixer for speakers. Determining compatibility before making a purchase is tough. Hardware tends to be identified by product manufacturer name and model number, while software (device drivers) tends to be identified by chip manufacturer name and part number. After searching and reading whatever you can, you will need to buy a KVM, plug it in, and find out for yourself. Make sure you buy the KVM through a vendor that will allow you to use it for a week or two, and return it if you don't like it. I went through several KVM's before finding one (IOGEAR GCS78) that worked reliably with Windows and Linux, and put the hotkeys where they didn't interfere with other applications (notably games). David Thanks for your thoughts, David. You have mentioned adapters. So it makes sense to use for instance vga-to-dvi adapter? How about the quality of this connection?

If you have space, make a copy of failed.img as well (cp failed.img failed2.img) so you don't have to go back to the actual failed drive, which is likely getting worse each time you access it.

Both are 2TB in size. Failed drive probably has 1.6 TB data I'd like to recover. It has only one partition I suppose. That's bad. If the drive has only one partition, it probably has a single filesystem taking up all of its space. When you create a ddrescue image from that partition, the new image will take up _at least as much_ space as the original filesystem. That's not the 1.6TB of used space; it's the full 2TB of total space. (Plus however much space is taken up by the index file used by ddrescue while doing its work.) That means that if your two 2TB drives are actually the same size, the good one will not have enough space to store the image you need to rescue from the bad one. Thanks Wanderer. So, I have no chances with two drives the same capacity? Would you advise to wait when I can get more capacity drive and only then to proceed as to save some head ache? Once again, thanks for such a complete instructions. So, if failed drive is for instance /dev/sdb and spare drive is for isntance /dev/sdc, the right command will be ddrescue if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc/failed.img ? No. With ddrescue, you do not (want to) create a new filesystem directly on the new device. What you want to do is create a filesystem _image_, in a file which is stored on the new device. Step-by-step, what you do is: * Create a filesystem on your good drive (/dev/sdc). You can use any filesystem you want. * Mount the newly created filesystem somewhere. For example, if you want to mount it to the empty directory '/mnt/new_disk', you could run the command: mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/new_disk * Run the command ddrescue /dev/sdb /mnt/new_disk/sdb_failed.img /tmp/sdb_failed.ddrescuelog Note that this will create _two_ files: the rescued filesystem image, and a log file which ddrescue uses to keep track of what it has already successfully rescued and where it has encountered errors. This second file will take up additional space. * If you have enough free space, copy the resulting sdb_failed.img to a separate location, so you have a backup copy if something goes wrong. * Run recovery tools (starting with fsck, as Gary Dale suggested) on sdb_failed.img, and see how much you can recover. * Mount sdb_failed.img, using a loopback mount, and copy out whatever files you can to a new location. Recovering data from a failed drive using ddrescue, dd_rescue, or myrescue is entirely possible; I've done it myself. However, it is not trivial, and in my experience the process requires considerably more space than the size of whatever drive is being rescued. Personally, I would probably recommend the use of myrescue rather than of ddrescue or dd_rescue, but any of them can work if you use them right. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Just to confirm, this happens on any mount attempt, correct? Yes, this happens on mount attempt. I still don't think that drive is failing and I think cables are ok too. It's happened when I was installing Lubuntu. During the install, install program obviously probed all available drives, and did something nasty to the drive. NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details. If you have a suitable Windows system with which to try the suggested 'chkdsk /f' and double reboot-into-Windows approach, you could do that, but I wouldn't bet on it helping - and if the drive really is failing, then trying to access the drive that way might make things worse. I think it looks as if the drive really is failing, and the separate, larger drive ddrescue/dd_rescue/myrescue approach is the right way to go after all. (Also note that since the filesystem is on /dev/sdc1, you'll almost certainly want to apply your ddrescue command to source that node, not the higher-level /dev/sdc node. You _can_ recover the data from a copy of /dev/sdc, but it's significantly less trivial.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If the two drives are exactly the same size, you can use ddrescue to duplicate the failed drive onto the new drive (ddrescue if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc). However this will limit you to recovering in place on new drive. In my experience, single-pass recovery like this does not work very reliably or very well; it also doesn't let you make the backup copy you originally suggested, which is a good idea if you have the space (though I never have had). I have never had *enough* disk space. Because I always need more! There is an idea that I didn't see proposed as I read through this thread. If one had three same sized drives then there is another possibility. Problem I have now is the lack of money. I simply don't have money now to buy yet another drive. I took out one drive from my another system, bought usb external enclosure and thought I'll succeed. Hmm.. everything is just not as easy as it seems. It isn't that unusual to have three drives of the same size. One could then make two copies of the data. Copy the data from the failing drive to a good same-sized drive. It would then be an identical copy. Then take the failing drive and put it on the shelf so as not to damage it further while trying to recover. Then make another identical copy onto the third drive. At that point one of the copies can be used for recovery experimentation and there would still be a copy available for backup on the other drive. Also when making the first backup copy using ddrescue use a third location for the ddrescue log file. I am assuming that a system has been booted up for the rescue and has the failing disk and the target disk attached. That means the host system has its own space available for the copy. Use it for the log file. ddrescue /dev/sdX /dev/sdY /var/tmp/rescuelogfile Where /dev/sdX is the failing source drive, /dev/sdY is the spare target drive, and /var/tmp/rescuelogfile is on the system hosting the recovery effort with its own drives. If I had a spare drive of the same size this would be what I would do to copy it. Then could do the same for the backup onto the working copy spare for recovery. Or just use a normal dd there since presumably both of the spares are good and error free. It's technically possible, yes, but I wouldn't want to trust or rely on it in any case where the source device is potentially prone to failure - and in any scenario where it isn't, you're unlikely to want to use one of the *rescue tools in the first place. My experience has been that once a drive starts to produce hard failures that it tends to become worse rather quickly. I would perform the backup of it. There is no way to avoid it. But I would try to avoid working the failing drive as much as possible until there is as much recovered as possible. After having recovered as much as is possible only then would I try any other work on the failing drive. Because Murphy's Law usually means that it becomes worse quickly. But after I had a good backup then trying other things such as other disk recovery software and so forth is reasonable. Why not if the drive has already failed otherwise? But again I would want a good backup first. And do any recovery work on a different working copy of it. (There's also the consideration of finding space for the ddrescue log file if you're restoring directly to the identical-size device; that file that may not be as important in some scenarios, but I wouldn't want to try to do such a rescue without one.) Agreed. The ddrescue log is critical. But a hosting system with both drives mounted could use /var/tmp/rescuelog for space not on either of the same-sized drives. I certainly wouldn't say there are never times when direct device-to-device recovery like that is appropriate, but I haven't encountered one and I would not recommend it as a base-practices procedure. Storage recovery is definitely a problem that takes skill to produce good results. It's a problem. There is no easy solution because the decisions we make along the way all depend upon the knowledge and the information available at that moment. It is really hard to document a canonical procedure. Sometimes it just helps to be lucky. Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Then do one of two things: 1) Create /dev/sdc1 (as an unformatted partition, using fdisk or parted or whatever partitioning tool you choose), and then run ddrescue /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdc1 /any/path/you/want/ddrescue.log 2) run ddrescue /dev/sdd /dev/sdc /any/path/you/want/ddrescue.log Ok, I think I am getting closer. How big is a log file? The size of the log file depends on two things: the size of the data source which is being copied/rescued, and the number of errors which occur while attempting to read that data source. It can be very small, or it can be moderately large. Even in a ridiculous case, however, I wouldn't expect it to be more than a few hundred megs - unless the source drive is so bad that you're not going to be getting any data back off of it anyway. Can it be anywhere on all drives that have enough space? For instance: ddrescue /dev/sdd /dev/sdc /dev/sda2/ddrescue.log will work? Not quite. /dev/sda2/ is not a directory; it's a device node. Since /dev/sda2 is mounted to / (the root filesystem), the correct equivalent to this command would be: ddrescue /dev/sdd /dev/sdc /ddrescue.log and although I wouldn't advise storing a log file in the root directory, the command should work. The log file itself can be placed in any writable location which has enough space. Thank you I started ddrescue and it is going somewhere. Probably will take 10 hours or more to complete. I'll let you know how it's all went. Thank you once more.

Re: OT proxy reverso con apache con multiples ip de destino
2015-05-02 11:54 GMT-04:30 Juan Guil erj...@gmail.com: Hola estoy intentando configurar un servidor debian con un apache como proxy reverso. la historia que quiero hacer es: si pongo www.dominio.com/app1 quiero me vaya a un servidor apache interno que apunta a 192.168.1.5:8080 si pongo www.dominio.com/app2 quiero que vaya a otra servidor apache con otra ip 192.168.1.6 Diferentes servidores apache que tengo en una subred Consigo configurar el apache para que haga de proxy al primer servidor, previamente cargando los modulos etc,etc creo el siguiente fichero: /etc/apache2/sites-available/frontend.conf con lo siguiente: VirtualHost *:80 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-access.log common ServerName erjuak.duckdns.org ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /app1/ http://192.168.1.5:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /app1/ http://192.168.1.5:8080/ /VirtualHost Despues lanzando el comando a2ensite frontend.conf He intentado crear un segundo virtual Host de la misma forma, pero con la configuracion para que apunte al segundo servidor alojado en el 192.168.1.6. En principio no puedes crear un segundo VirtualHost con el mismo dominio.com. Esto debe indicarte un error el Apache httpd cuando corres el configtest. La verdad nunca lo he intentado. Pero si lo que entiendo deseas es que desde el mismo dominio.com te redirija a dos aplicaciones distintas desde el contexto de la aplicación, debes indicar un nuevo juego de ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse en la misma configuración del Virtual Host, es decir: VirtualHost *:80 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-access.log common ServerName erjuak.duckdns.org ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On # # appl1 # ProxyPass /app1/ http://192.168.1.5:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /app1/ http://192.168.1.5:8080/ # # appl2 # ProxyPass /app2/ http://192.168.1.6:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /app2/ http://192.168.1.6:8080/ /VirtualHost En algunos casos, prefiero hacerlo con el Location /context.../Location que es mas flexible al momento de aplicar configuraciones y reglas distintas a un único contexto. Algo asi: VirtualHost *:80 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-access.log common ServerName erjuak.duckdns.org ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On # # appl1 # Location /appl1/ ProxyPass http://192.168.1.5:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /app1/ http://192.168.1.5:8080/ # Otras Reglas /Location # # appl2 # Location /appl2/ ProxyPass http://192.168.1.6:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /app1/ http://192.168.1.6:8080/ # Otras Reglas /Location /VirtualHost Al poner http://dominio.com/app2 me da un error 404, y si ves en el log, es como si el apache es como si consultara el otro virtual host.

Si estás haciendo pruebas y cambios en la configuración de los archivos de Apache te expones a que algo deje de funcionar recargues la configuración o reinicies así que se supone que lo estás haciendo cuando el servidor tiene poca carga de trabajo o en un día de poco tráfico para molestar lo menos posible. Siempre será preferible una parada del servicico para asegurarse de que todo funciona correctamente. Disiento doblemente... ;) En ambientes en producción, donde el (o los proxy reversos) deben atender 20 o mas VirtualHost, con diferentes niveles de uso de las aplicaciones, hace díficil abrir ventanas de mantenimiento que incluyan cese del servicio prolongado (5, 10, 15 minutos pueden ser largos para ciertos proveedores). Para pruebas, siempre es recomendable tener ambientes de test homologados al de producción, para saber a que nivel los cambios afectan este servicio. Así mismo, la activación de nuevos servicios al vuelo, es una gran ventaja en sistemas muy dinámicos, escalables y a gran escala. Apache httpd soporta desde hace tiempo estos cambios, y su mecanismo para hacerlo es bastante seguro y confiable. Respecto a nginx, lo estoy probando aún, pero hay requerimientos de ciertos componentes que manejo, que lo hacen de dificil implementación en la actualidad.

Thanks. http://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/help-with-restoring-usb-drive-t4953.html Right from the beginning this sounds bad /Input/output error// //Failed to read of MFT, mft=17625 count=1 br=-1: Input/output error// //Inode is corrupt (5): Input/output error// //Index root attribute missing in directory inode 5: Input/output error// //Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Input/output error/ MFT tables are low level indexes in the NTFS file system, if they can't be read that's a big issue. The screenshot here http://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/help-with-restoring-usb-drive-t4953.html#p15748 looks like you already got the partition list and hit 'P' to see a list of files. You should be seeing a list of files and directories at that point, none are visible in the screenshot, another bad sign. As you can see, there are two directories, but how to view contents of them I have no clue. Enter, P, Right does nothing. Was this after a deep scan? After deep scan I got one FAT partition 32 MB in size, what is it and what it has to do with NTFS I also have no clue. Was the partition listed more than once, and if so did you try to view the files in all listings for the partition? If the cradle for the goflex has SATA connectors that plug into the HDD like the one shown here... http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-GoFlex-Desktop-Adapter-PCI-Express/dp/B00HWZ6OYC My next step, would be to plug the goflex in to the SATA power and data cable in a desktop system. When plugged in on USB more is done in software, the SATA controller on the motherboard is better able to recover from errors if there is more going on than just filesystem corruption. Unfortunately I don't have now any desktop computer and I am not sure if that's possible re-assamble this GoFlex drive. I've dealt with a few of the goflex drives and had to shave the plastic on the SATA power and data cable with a razor blade to get them to fit into the connectors on the drive without taking the enclosure apart. Typically at this point I would run the Gnome disk utility, and do a full smart test on the hard drive. If the drive already has errors recorded that the disk utility doesn't like it may give you an indication of this when you run it. You can also view a list of Smart data in the disk utility. Pending remaps and uncorrectable errors are a couple of the more significant things to look at. Sector remaps only happen on a write, so a handful of pending I would not consider an automatic failure, if you are getting into the neighborhood of ten or more I would question the reliability of the drive. This could be done from the command line with smartmon tools, but I'm not familiar with it's usage. If the disk physically looks good, then I would try testdisk again. If you can get access to the files, you want to have another drive ready to copy the files to or enough free space on the drive you are running from to hold the files. As I said before, I got two directories shown. What they are and how to view the content of them I have no clue. Please enlighten me. If you get an indication that the disk is failing, then the question of how important the data is to you comes into play, poking at a disk that is physically failing could reduce the chance of a professional data recovery service being able to recover the files. I think that physically ok. I just was installing Lubuntu to my computer and forgot to unplug this USB drive and installer probed it and done to it something nasty. If testdisk still doesn't show you and files and directories, then I would try photorec. Photorec doesn't do well with files that are fragmented, and if it can recognize files may give you numbers for names, instead of the actual file names, it does have a brute force option that will try to piece the file chains together and match the files to names. The brute force option has to be enabled before doing the scan. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step If you use the brute force option be prepared for it to take days to analyze the partition.

Can't isntall Debian on UEFI system
Hi all, I am trying to install live image from USB stick, but my comp's BIOS doesn't see the drive. I tried to dd .iso to stick, I tried to copy it, still, BIOS doesn't see it. I also don't see any efi folders on the stick when I look at it with a file manager. Any ideas?

Thanks Testdisk might be able to help. What exactly should I be looking for in testdisk? I checked structure, it is ok. Should I do deeper search? And what means Index root attribute missing in directory inode 5? The problem you reported was inability to mount a USB stick. Testdisk helps you recover from disk/file system corruption. I suggest you use ddrescue to create an image of the NTFS partition on the USB stick and retry ntfsfix against the image. Assuming ntfsfix works, you can then mount the image using the loop option. e.g. ddrescue /dev/sdx1 ./ntfs.img ntfsfix ./ntfs.img mkdir ntfs-image mount -o loop ./ntfs.img ./ntfs-image If ntfsfix doesn't work, try using testdisk against the .img file. Once you've got your files copied to a new stick, don't use the old one. Thanks for your suggestion. However I am afraid I can't create .img file because my internal disk is 128 GB and my unmountable drive is 2 TB. ( it is 3'5 external usb disk, not a USB stick ). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
