Probably a strategic reboot is better, faster and clearer. You do need
it once you've set the domain.

If you

1 - install
2 - set the domain (which sets resolv.conf
3 - set the forwarders
4 - set ifcfg-eth0-local
5 - reboot

everything 'just works'. Once I make 0.6 an official release -- soon!
I promise! -- we can update the install guide with this info.

Use the first registered XO -- which has 'course creator' rights in
Moodle. It can create new "normal" accounts, which login with
username/password.

If you want those accounts to be 'course creators' too, after creating
the accounts you can grant them the right from Users->Roles->Sitewide
roles (a standard Moodle procedure)

Fantastic news! DNS/resolver stuff is sometimes cached so "going to
sleep" is sometimes the right fix ;-)

Maybe the lesson is to wait for the network stuff to sort things out and be

Have set the forwarders commands to my actual DNS and the resolv.conf 
nameserver points to 172.18.0.1.

My thanks to you all. Cheers

Yep! that's the 2 steps needed for a static IP address on eth0

- an ifcfg-eth0-local file as Rodolfo's example

- upstream DNS servers set as forwarders

Also, /etc/resolv.conf needs to be pointing to the DNS server on the
XS. Otherwise the local names (needed for ejabberd and other services)
will be missing (unless you configure the upstream DNS servers to
serve them but that is more complicated).

cheers,

Have you tried adding your ISP's DNS server(s) to the
/etc/named-xs.conf file as forwarders?

options {
...
...
...
 forwarders { dnsserver1; dnsserver2; };
 forward only;
 };

Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration for static IP instead of DHCP

2009-06-15 Thread tkkang 
I tried your config - thanks. No luck. 

I get a fixed IP of 192.168.1.230 and could ping 192.168.1.1, etc and even the 
designated public IP of my router given by my ISP. However I can't ping any 
external network outside.

Have you go this working with a XS server with a static IP?

Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration for static IP instead of DHCP

2009-06-12 Thread tkkang 
Yes, I followed the instruction and created a ifcfg-eth0-local and change the 
/etc/resolv.conf with the original nameserver 172.18.0.1 to 192.168.1.1

It boot and set my ip to 192.168.1.230. I could not ping an external IP not 
resolve domain names. The orignal dhcp setting just works well. I hope setting 
a static IP would be as easy.

I want a static ip as I want to play around with external web access to the 
Xs-server loaded with other elearning application.

Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration for static IP instead of DHCP

2009-06-12 Thread Rodolfo D. Arce S. 
You have to create a file
/etc/sysconfig/network-sripts/ifcfg-eth0-local and configue in it your
 static IP like any other fedora machine

hope that works.. cheers.. R

[Server-devel] Server configuration for static IP instead of DHCP

2009-06-12 Thread tkkang 
Everything works well with DHCP on eth0. However I want have a fixed ip 
instead. I followed the instruction Configuring a Static IP address. Each time 
I reboot I have assign a satic IP of 192.168.1.130. However not able to resolve 
when I ping mail.google.com.

Read the thread below. What else do I need to do to get it functioning as 
before?
  
Cheers

Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration

2009-06-02 Thread Neo Masilo 


*** Neo,

Hi. I'm wondering why you need the Static IP. Neo>>Ok the situation is
that the internet provider uses WiMax to distribute the signal and then
this signal is received by a Radio receiver that has a static ip address.
Now in windows /Mac for me to have an internet connection I have to assign
a static Ip to the machine with the dns settings as well. This leads me to
think that the same information is applied to the ifcfg-eth0-local file as
specified on the wiki.>>Rueben Does the XS have one or
two network cards?>>Neo one network card for the WAN/eth0 and I do have
Active antenna plugged in on the usb port and the XO's do connect to the
server, but not the internet (DNS)>>Reuben Will the XS act as a gateway to
the Internet?>>Neo Yes  . When I ping www.google.com on the server with
the /etc/resolv.conf edited with the remote DNS server ip address ie
10.50.211.5 then I do recieve packets back . I also installed the lynx
text browser on the server to browse the internet form the XS and the
pages do load. When I  do the same on the connected XO I get unknown host
but when I insert the google IP address in the address bar of the XO the
google page loads.

Thanks,

Reuben

Neo,

Hi. I'm wondering why you need the Static IP. Does the XS have one or
two network cards? Will the XS act as a gateway to the Internet?

Thanks,

Reuben

Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration

2009-06-01 Thread Grape Projects IT 
Hi Martin,

I have never setup a static address before and therefore have never had
this issue before. Below is the step-by-step configuration that I followed
and I am having a problem with the DNS as the XO's do not connect to the
Internet

I downloaded the XS 0.5.2 image and followed the instructions
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Installing_Software.

1.I initially ran the script /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/domainconfig
katane.org with katane.org being the hostname


2.I also changed the HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain to
HOSTNAME=schoolserver.katane.org


Our internet has a static IP address therefore I copied
/usr/share/doc/xs-config-*/ifcfg-eth0-local.example to
/etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-local and edited the file
with the following:

IPADDR=10.50.211.15
IPV6ADDR=no
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.50.211.0
BROADCAST=10.50.211.255
GATEWAY=10.50.211.5

I also edited the /etc/resolv.conf to resolve the DNS nameserver as follows:

search katane.org
nameservers 10.50.211.5

3. Restarted the machine

4. I then started the ejabberd service at runlevels 345
5. Restarted the machine " shutdown -r now"

6. After reboot I pinged www.google.com and I got reply packets which
meant that I had connection to the internet

7. now the problem is that when I check the ejabberd status "ejabberdctl
status" I get an error RPC failed on the node ejabb...@schoolserver:
nodedown

so I went back to my /etc/resolv.conf file and edited the nameserver back
to 172.18.0.1 and restarted ejabberd and this executed with no errors. But
now the server does not resolve the DNS addresses cause when I ping
www.google.com I get the error unknown host www.google.com

8.Another thing is that the XO does not connect to the internet under all
scenarios but it connects to the schoolserver as I get to the "who are
you?" page

Now what do I need to do to make this work as I am using Active Antenna to
connect the XO's to the Server
