When Safely Remove Drive menu is clicked on the external Hard Drive
FD15 gets stuck
I have 350GB external Western Digital USB hard Drive.When I try to
remove it from the system by executing Safely Remove Drive menu the
fedora 15 system gets stuck.The processor starts giving a hum sound
and it goes on even if it is left for half an hour in the stuck
state.The Mouse is not working and everything is halted.

What can be done about this?

preupgrade not Upgrading F14 to F15

2011-05-26 Thread Varuna Seneviratna
I used preupgrade to Upgrade F14 to F15.Finally preupgrade issued a
message to reboot for the upgrade to take place.I have Ubuntu and
Fedora both on my machine.By mistake during the reboot the machine
went into Ubuntu since it was the default selection on the OS section
menu of the Boot loader.I by pressing the restart Button restarted the
machine and Got Fedora Booted Up But the Upgrade from Fedora 14 to
Fedora 15 has not taken place.When preupgrade is started it is agian
starting from the begining.

Why is this?
What can be done during the next phase of upgrade to start from the
point it was left off?

When going through the Graphical mode to the Downloads directory and

When trying to use the rmdir command as root the message is that the

If you want to delete the fodler with its contents, do the following as root

rm -rf folder_name

This will delete everything.

Just an after thought - if you want the system to ask for confirmation

 You need a closing quote:

        su -c '/sbin/service NetworkManager start'

 The  prompt is the shell asking you to complete the quoted string,
 so you could have put a single quote after it and hit ENTER:

         '

 That would have closed the quoted string and you're off to the races.

 NetworkManager is not very well documented.  It's supposed to just
 work and when it doesn't, it's not easy to see why.  I contacted the
 authors of it several times and offered to write documentation, but
 never got a response from them.

 By default, it should start and handle your network connections.  You
 can ensure it starts by entering this command as the root user:

        chkconfig --level 2345 NetworkManager on
   Is the level 345 or 2345.According the FAQ it is 345?
 This should ensure it starts up the next time you boot up.

 If you're getting a 403 then something is denying the web server access to 
 those
 paths. If you have set the directory permissions correctly (iirc you need 
 other
 execute on the home directory (search permission) and other read/execute on 
 the
 public_html directory and its subdirectories) the you may need to set up 
 SELinux
 contexts for the directory if you have it enabled on your system.

 I normally do this by using a reference from /var/www/html since it is 
 installed
 with the correct context for httpd content:

 chcon -R --reference=/var/www/html public_html/

 Heh, thought I might be out of date here.. I think that the correct context 
 for
 home directory web content is now httpd_user_content_t (although I think
 httpd_sys_content_t still works - an SELinux expert can probably explain 
 exactly
 why that's wrong or a bad idea but it certainly means there's no separation
 between user and system content so the policy can't distinguish them ;).

 More info in this bug:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509943

 Regards,
 Bryn.

Dear Bryn
  I have been addressing this isuue for about two days and
has also posted on FedoraForum.org. The Thread is
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=260382.This thread was
not initially started by me.I have posted by the UserName Vefoda.On
that thread acording to the advice given by
jpollard(http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1461100postcount=9)
I have carried out the following

1. enable the UserDir entry: UserDir enable

2. uncommment the next UserDIR line (and/or modify it for your
choice): UserDir public_html

3.Set the SELinux boolean control httpd_enable_homedirs to on to
allow apache to access the users public_html (or whatever you called
it).

3a. restart apache

4. Let the user create their public_html directory in their home
directory, then use chcon -t httpd_user_content_t public_html to set
the security label.

5. Let the user set permission bits (chmod +rx public_html) on the directory.

This will grant READ ONLY access to files (and php scripts).

The URL for access is //host/~username/.

Before Doing the above I was not able to even start httpd.But now it
starts and the problem now is I am getting a Forbidden page?From what
I gather I think is that httpd is able to access
/home/varuna/public_html/ But the Web Browser is not able to access
the Home Directory contents, public_html contents to be exact

Your Advice Please!

 Um, not really.  Well, that rather depends on what *you* mean by
 logging on.

 You only need to do su - (in the command line of your normal login) to
 be allowed to start the webserver, then a service httpd start command,
 and then you can go back to being yourself, once it's started.

  [tim@gonzales ~]$ su -

  [root@gonzales ~]# service httpd start
  Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
  [root@gonzales ~]# exit
  logout

This is exactly what I did Tim and it is to the above procedure that I
referred to have had to login as root

 If you start it up from one of the configuration GUIs, it'll ask you to
 enter the root password, just to use that GUI.  Again, you only need to
 be logged in as yourself.

What is the or are the configuration GUis that are included with
fedora 14 or can be installed?

 If you plan to do a lot of web development work, you might configure the
 service to it always starts itself each time you boot up.

 1 How to Do web Development, I am not able to(not allowed) save any
 .html or any other file in the directory /var/www/html Do I have to
 logged in as root to Do web Development?

 No, you don't.  However, you're going to have to change some things,
 first.

 While still the root user, you change the ownership of /var/www/html to
 yourself.


How Am I able to change the ownership of the /var/www/html through the
terminal when logged in as root?

 While still the root user, you can reconfigure the webserver to use a
 different directory, one that is owned by yourself (such as a
 sub-directory placed inside /var/www/html.

While I am the root user How is it possible to configure the webserver
to use a different directory through the terminal?

 2 Am I safe from outside intrusion when running the Web Server bound to port 
 80

 No.  Whether you're safe, or not, depends on other factors.  Is there a
 firewall on your ISP or your modem router, between the outside world and
 your computer?  Are you running a firewall on your computer?  Those are
 the things that will stop outsiders from reaching it.

As usual the Firewall that comes with fedora is enabled.But what I am
not aware of is that when an webserver is listinig on port 80 is it
accessible to outside parties?

How to set SELinux to allow apache-httpd only to access a particular user's content?

2011-04-13 Thread Varuna Seneviratna
I tried to set the ServerRoot to a Directory in my home Dirctory.But
when tried to start httpd after setting ServerRoot and saving the
httpd.conf file SELinux repoted the following

   SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from search access on the
directory /home/Home Directory.

 *  Plugin catchall_boolean (47.5 confidence) suggests
***

   If you want to allow httpd to read user content
   Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the
'httpd_read_user_content' boolean.
  Do
 setsebool -P httpd_read_user_content 1

I want to know How to set setsebool to allow httpd to access only the
content of a particular user?

The manual pages of setsebool(8) and getsebool(8) can not be viewed,
when the command man getsebool(8) the output is -bash: syntax error
near unexpected token `(' 

The SELinux FAQ at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/SELinux_FAQ/index.html#id3128699
is as follows
  Q:
How do I enable/disable SELinux protection on specific daemons
under the targeted policy?
   A:
   Use system-config-selinux, also known as the SELinux
Administration graphical tool, to control the Boolean values of
specific daemons. For example, if you need to disable SELinux for
Apache to run correctly in your environment, you can disable the value
in system-config-selinux. This change disables the transition to the
policy defined in apache.te, allowing httpd to remain under regular
Linux DAC security.
The getsebool and setsebool commands can also be used, including on
systems that do not have the system-config-selinux tool. Please refer
to the manual pages for these commands: getsebool(8) and setsebool(8)
for further details on their operation.

When the command service httpd start is given the output is

Starting httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully
qualified domain name, using ::1 for ServerName
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down

Is there or can be a service be running on port 80 and if it is how do
I determine what it is and stop it.I am new to Fedora and Linux and I
do not know the way around much

 Yup, it's installed already. It won't do much out of the box but you
 can do the following:

 To start the service:
 # service httpd start

 To make it start on boot:
 # chkconfig httpd on

 If you browse to localhost you should see the default apache page.

 I started the service But I had to log on as root.The problem
I have now is How to Do web development.The Test page is displayed
when accessed through localhost.In the left part of the Test page the
below is displayed

If you are the website administrator:

You may now add content to the directory /var/www/html/. Note that
until you do so, people visiting your website will see this page, and
not your content. To prevent this page from ever being used, follow
the instructions in the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf.

You are free to use the images below on Apache and Fedora powered HTTP
servers. Thanks for using Apache and Fedora!

My problems are
1 How to Do web Development, I am not able to(not allowed) save any
.html or any other file in the directory /var/www/html Do I have to
logged in as root to Do web Development?
2 Am I safe from outside intrusion when running the Web Server bound to port 80

 You can start the service - 'service httpd start'
 You'll need to edit the config file.
 Check it's running with firefox or whatever browser you choose at
 'http://localhost' you should see a test page with some information on it.

Hello Kevin
 When I execute as root I am not in the Downloads directory
and the command cd Downloads produces the output  -bash: cd:
Downloads: No such file or directory

How can I use the file in the Downloads directory or go to Downloads
when logged in as root?

 You have to execute as root, not as a regular user.

 Either become root (su -) or use sudo
