[vox-tech] Weird server setup issue
I have a server which has the domain name of the form subdomain.domain.tld. I'm running several sites on this domain, each with its own sub-sub-domain, e.g.: moodle.subdomain.domain.tld wordpress.subdomain.domain.tld customcode.subdomain.domain.tld I also have an installation of phpMyAdmin on the site: customcode.subdomain.domain.tld/phpmyadmin Each website is declared in a /var/www/vhosts directory, except for phpMyAdmin, which lives in /usr/share/phpmyadmin. Recently I installed the WordFence plugin into the WordPress installation (I know, WordPress is bad, but I have no choice in the matter). Once I activated it, I discovered that it was causing problems in phpMyAdmin. My question is, how is that possible? What steps can I take to make sure it doesn't happen again? I've had to disable the WordFence plugin in order for phpMyAdmin to work properly, but I've found it a very useful plugin for tracking attacks, failed logins, and so on in other sites I manage. I have complete control over the server's setup, except for the subdomain.domain.tld URL. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/helps/tips/etc. that anyone might come up with.

In other words, if Rita (member of group psacln) creates a file or subdirectory, then Ginger (also a member of group psacln) should be able to write to it or delete it, and vice versa. The way to achieve group collaboration is to have new files and directories become the group name of the group, not the default group name of the creator. Also, new files and directories need to have the group's write bit set. Here are the commands: 1) sudo chmod g+wxs . 2) sudo chgrp psacln . 3) sudo echo umask 0002 /etc/profile The key is the s-bit set on the directory. This has the special meaning of setting new files' and directories' group name to the group name of the directory, not the creator. The umask command says to always turn on the group's write bit for new files and directories. All of the users are members of the group psacln and when they create files or upload them via FTP, the files have the correct group assignment. However, even after going through the steps you outlined above, new files are not created with the proper permissions. When I FTP test.test with Rita's account, the file has permissions -rw-r--r-- set. I need it to be -rw-rw-r-- so that, say, Robin can edit or even overwrite test.test. -- Sláinte, Richard S.

[vox-tech] What could be interfering with my wireless
Here's the setup: my DSL modem hooks directly up to my router. My desktop computer connects to a router and has a static IP address, 192.168.1.110. Also coming from the router is my wireless access point, which also has a static IP address, 192.168.1.200. My wife's computer connects exclusively via wireless, but her computer also has a static IP address. I have disabled DHCP on my router, so everything has static IP addresses. The layout looks something like this: DSL Modem -- Router -- My computer (192.168.1.110) | +-- WAP (192.168.1.200) -- Wife's computer (My apologies if this rough schematic looks miserable on your screen. I think you get the basic idea. Every so often, the WAP drops its signal, which isn't too surprising. What's surprising and extremely annoying is that it appears that some process on my own computer -- 192.168.1.110 -- causes the WAP to drop its signal, which boots my wife off the Internet. Sometimes the problem can be resolved by power cycling the WAP, but sometimes I have to reboot my own computer before her connection can be re-established. I'm off to get a long-ass cable to connect her computer right to the router, but I wondered if anyone has any ideas as to how this could be happening. -- Richard S.

When I asked Chris and Alex this at the time, they both shrugged their shoulders and said basically don't click any links you don't trust, and that Linux doesn't get much hacker attention. Neither recommended running any kind of security suite for Linux. I find this approach a little scary after many years using various Windows security suites and discussions like yours. And trust is a relative thing. What would you all recommend for new users? Are there good virus/firewall/spyware packages for Ubuntu that are reasonably automated? Steve, I am hardly an expert myself, but I will say this: I've rebuilt several Windows boxes that had been compromised by malware, viruses, adware, and more. I once set up an FTP server on Windows, and it was broken into within a day, in spite of the really tight protection I put on it. A Windows box with the latest installations of Norton, AdAware, etc., etc., running tight firewalls, etc., *will* be hacked. It really just is a matter of time. (Caveat: I haven't used much Windows since W2K, and I understand that WinXP and Vista are much tighter). I've been running Linux since 2000, and various flavors of Ubuntu (mostly Kubuntu, but I also have an Xubuntu laptop) since 2005. And I have never once had to rebuild a Linux box because it had been compromised in any way (I've had to rebuild several Linux boxes that I broke myself, but that's a different story).

[vox-tech] Limiting FTP User access to certain subdirectories
Here's what I'm trying to do. Maybe I'm shooting for the moon here, but it can't hurt to try. I have several sites on my host, and several users who need access to subdirectories within those sites. For example: /V_HOST/SITE_ONE/CAMPUS/COURSES /V_HOST/SITE_TWO/CAMPUS/COURSES We have educational designers who need to be able to get into the COURSES directories of SITE_ONE and SITE_TWO, but not in any other subdirectory, or any subdirectory above the COURSES subdirectories. In an ideal world, my educational designers would only have to worry about one login, rather than having to have a second login for each site. I created a subdirectory under V_HOST called designers. Under designers I created one subdirectory for each designer. Then in each of those subdirectories I created a symbolic link to the various COURSES subdirectories. For example: /V_HOST/DESIGNERS/USER_1 COURSES_ONE - /V_HOST/SITE_ONE/COURSES COURSES_TWO - /V_HOST/SITE_TWO/COURSES This didn't work until I gave the user account for each designers the same UID as the user that owns the entire site. I thought it was a great solution until I discovered that the education designers, once they followed the symbolic links to the COURSES subdirectories, could then browse to higher level directories in their FTP client. I trust the designers not to make any willful changes to the code elsewhere, but accidents can happen. Plus we're talking about allowing people outside our office having access to the courses subdirectories. I tried creating a new user account and switching ownership of the courses subdirectories to that user, then setting the UID of one of my designers accounts to the same UID as the new user, but I got a permission denied error when I attempted to follow the symbolic link to the courses subdirectory. The host has SELinux enabled, and, unfortunately, I don't have the option of disabling it. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to go about doing what I want to do?

In more detail: We maintain our website on a remote Linux server run by a web hosting company. We only have FTP access to the server; TelNet and SSH are not enabled with our account level, and we won't be raising our account level any time soon. Now, in our building in Sacramento, we have a Linux server over which I have complete control. What I would like to be able to do is this: run an automated script on the local Linux server which would connect to the remote server over FTP and download all the files, recursively, to reproduce the file system locally (and, ideally, on a regular schedule, downloading only the files which have changed since the last time). Normally I would use rsync for a task like this, but I have not been able to get it working over FTP. but if it requires much logic I'd probably use the Perl Net::FTP module.

[vox-tech] Special Character Issues in a web page
This may be a dumb question, but can the backslash character be used to denote special characters on a webpage under some circumstances in addition to the ampersand? I'm asking because as I review some of our old pages, some of our Spanish text pages seem to use, say, \351 to refer to the accented o character instead of oacute; or even #351.

[vox-tech] PHP Mail not sending mail
Here's the setup:
Apache 2.0
PHP 5
Postfix installed
The mail() function call looks like this:
$num_recipients = count($REPORT_INFO-recipients);
$report_subject = DLC Auto Enroll Report Available;
$report_headers = 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.\r\n.'Reply-To:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.\r\n.'X-Mailer: PHP/'.phpversion();
$report_message = The TUBS/Moodle Integration Report is now available
online.\n;
$report_message .= The URL is: .$REPORT_INFO-url.\n\n;
for ($i = 0; $i $num_recipients; $i++) {
print pSending report to .$REPORT_INFO-recipients[$i]./p;
if (!mail($REPORT_INFO-recipients[$i],$report_subject,
$report_message,$report_headers)) {
print pReport could not be emailed/p;
}
}
The mail() call returns false, and no message is sent. Yet Apache reveals no
errors. I have PHP's error reporting set to E_ALL E_STRICT but no messages
are generated. The host's fully qualified domain name seems set
appropriately. No error messages are showing up in /var/log/mail.err. I've
confirmed that the email addresses in the REPORT_INFO-recipients array are
properly set. The command just doesn't send mail.
I've Googled until my eyes bleed but I can't figure out what might be going
wrong here. Anyone have any suggestions?

Plenty of files were deleted manually, problems arose, hilarity failed to ensue. Now when I try: $ sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache2 apt tells me that Apache2 is being installed, but there are no /var/log files for Apache, and when I try to launch apache2 with /etc/init.d/apache2 start, there's no output, and Apache simply doesn't start.

[vox-tech] Why change default ssh port?
Our hosting service has (without notice) changed our default ssh port from 22 to 22799. This strikes me as an unusual decision, but I am still a novice at this sort of thing.

Do you mean from the server's root? Should be, though it might depend on
your server's setup. I do it all the time, particularly with config.php
files that need to be included in every file throughout a site's directory
structure. For example:
require_once('/usr/www/users/jenipurr/mossroot/config.php');
You might also be able to use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] for increased
portability, but I haven't actually done this myself (due mostly to

[vox-tech] PHP: My object's method vanishes
This is for a wishlist program that I've been developing for my family.
I have a class called Person which looks something like this:
class Person {
var $personFullName;
var $recipientList;
function Person ($personKey) {
global $CFG;
$personQuery = select * from .$CFG-db['prefix'].person where
personKey = $personKey;
if (!$person = dbquery($personQuery)) {
return false;
}
$this = $person[0];
$this-personFullName = $this-personFirstName . .
$this-personLastName;
}
function bob() {
}
}
I can call the constructor object just fine with:
$USER = new Person($userKey);
However, when I try this:
USER-bob()
I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bob()
...which I don't understand at all, since I have another Class which is
called in pretty much the same way, and I have no problem calling any
methods for that other class. I can't find any significant structural
differences between the two classes.
I tried introducing a deliberate error into the definition for the
function bob(), and sure enough the program died when the page with the
malformed function was loaded.
I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious which will embarrass me
completely once it's pointed out to me, but at the moment I have no idea
what it might be.

Re: [vox-tech] Urgent news: Linux may be relicensed
Not necessarily THAT awful. Linux was never more than a bunch of hacks thrown together over the years by a bunch of anti-American subversives. Buggy, insecure, prone to crash if you look at it funny. Fortunately, in our office, we've converted all of our Solaris and Linux servers over to Windows 2003, and replaced Apache (did you know that the name Apache comes from A Patchy Server?) with IIS. Now THERE's a secure OS! The elder gods, manifesting through Peter Jay Salzman, recently decreed: Urgent breaking news: I can hardly believe it! CNN is reporting that Linus Torvalds is considering re-licensing Linux under a closed-source license. There's a huge argument on the Linux Kernel Mailing List right now over the move and many developers have been jumping ship. Linus claims the move to make Linux proprietary stems from differences in open source philosophy between the majority of Linux kernel hackers and GNU's upcoming version 3 of the General Public License.

[vox-tech] Apache question: preventing direct access to files
We've got some .pdf documents on our website that we'd rather people not
view by directly typing the URL into the browser; we want them to get
there via a link.
My boss is convinced that we can do this using the same tricks with the
.htaccess file that can be used to prevent images from being stolen. I'm
not entirely sure about that.
Here's the .htaccess file in question. I've kept all my failed attempts
and commented them out. Any help would be grand. The first one -- using
mod_auth_cookie -- seemed to work (because users shouldn't even be in that
directory unless they have logged in) but we needed a broader solution.

Re: [vox-tech] Apache question: preventing direct access to files
And behold, Micah Cowan flailed at a keyboard and did expound:
Since you seem to be using ColdFusion (evidence has been snipped), you
could probably write a short wrapper that will serve up the pdf file if
the person deserves it; and remove the PDF files to outside of the web
docs repository.
I tried that. Didn't work, because in the setup, CF pages are delivered
by the JRun server, and not by the Apache server, so I can't use an Apache
redirect to get the wrapper to work. And if I use an Apache rewrite to
make the page *not* delivered by JRun (I can do this by removing the cfmx
from the URL), then the Cold Fusion page does not work. Oy.
Yes, it is exactly the same problem as the hotlinking to image issue. I
was thinking about it in the wrong way. Silly me.
Here's what I finally put into httpd.conf:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://152.79.198.7/.*\cfm
RewriteRule .*\.pdf$ - [F]
I also added:
RewriteRule ^/cfmx/(.*\.pdf)$ /$1 [R,L]
though it's probably not necessary.
BTW, don't ColdFusion suck? :-)
Yeah. Oh, yeah. More than you can imagine. Fortunately, we're going to
start transitioning over to a PHP solution starting next month (the
transition will probably take over a year, but I'm really excited about
it).

[vox-tech] Cygwin's Identity Crisis
I love using Cygwin; it's a great tool, since I find that manipulating files is much easier for me from the CLI than with a GUI. This morning I SSH'ed into a remote box, though, and executed Vi; instead of pulling up the editor, though, I got this message: I don't know what kind of terminal you are on - all I have is 'cygwin'. [Using open mode] I can run Vi through PuTTY on the same remote computer, but it feels inelegant to have two separate tools that can do the same thing. Is there a way to make Cygwin deliver a different terminal type, or to get the remote machine to understand Cygwin? -- Sláinte, Richard S.

I plan on installing KDE on a test basis to see how I like it unless there are any issues why I should install Gnome instead. Any compelling reason to use Gnome instead of KDE? I definitely don't want to run a display manager, and I'd like to keep Enlightenment as a wm. I assume KDE can handle that I used to use Gnome; I switched to KDE about two months ago and I haven't looked back. On the other hand, I know people who have gone in exactly the opposite direction. I suspect it's all a matter of personal taste. I can't think of any compelling reason to use one or the other; I've run Gnome apps under KDE and vice versa, though they require sizable installations of their respective libraries. I've also used Enlightenment with KDE and with Gnome, and I've used Fluxbox on top of KDE as well.

[vox-tech] PHP Question: Includes and Variables
Here's the situation. My script, page1.php, calls a script in another directory called config.php via require_once. config.php declares several variables which should be accessible in page1.php. For example: --- http://myphpsite.net/dir1/page1.php ?php require_once(http://myphpsite.net/dir2/config.php;) echo myVariable = $myVariable-daValue; ? --- http://myphpsite.net/dir2/config.php ?php $myVariable-daValue = Hello, World; ? --- So when I execute page1.php, I should get: myVariable = Hello, World But I don't. Instead the variable is undefined. If I put the echo command inside config.php, though, it displays properly. I've confirmed that all permissions and ownerships and all that are the same, and I can't find a configuration value in php.ini which might have something to do with this. It's acting as though $myVariable is only defined within the scope of config.php, but I have no idea why that would be. It makes no sense to me at all. Any suggestions besides taking a large sledgehammer to the server? -- Sláinte, Richard S.

So even though the include file was on the same server as the main script, I was calling it via a URL, so the PHP processor was looking at it as an HTTP request, so the variables inside the include script were not available to my main script.

Am I allowed to give my copy of the document, from when it was freely available off the web, to somebody? Am I now obligated to delete the document off my hard drive? All I can figure is that that would be up to the creator of the document. You already own a copy of the document, having downloaded it for free, so it is now your document, to do with as you wish. You're not allowed to make money off of it or claim that it is your own (such is the nature of copyrights), and you probably shouldn't be distributing it either. Personally, I'd rather that such documents were spread with Creative Commons-style licenses, and that the people who release documents for free should realize that it's probably too late to make money off of them later on. Of course, I'm not a lawyer, so take my answer with the biggest grain of salt you can find. As a writer, though, this is an issue which is important to me personally. -- Slainte, Richard S.

[vox-tech] Restructuring a CVS repository
For several months now, I've been using CVS to keep my writing up to date
across four different computers ('cause I never know when I'll get a chance
to work on something). Now I want to complete redo the directory structure,
but I feel like it's embedded into the CVS repository as it is, and I can't
think of an easy way to restructure without a ton of cvs removes and cvs
adds. I thought about deleting the main repository as well as the replicated
directories on all but one computer, then going through and deleting all of
the CVS folders recursively, then restructuring everything, then exporting it
all again, but that seems overly complex.
Is there an easy way to do this?

And not only is Dr. Matttey running Linux for himself, he installed it on a student machine when I was there. I am not at all surprised to learn that Dr. Mattey is a Linux user. He always was a bit of a nonconformist. He's a great professor, and served me well as my undergraduate advisor as well. I got my BA, as I mentioned; now I wish I'd stuck it out and gone on for graduate work in philosophy as well. Ah, well. Linux saved me when I wrote my dissertation. My dissertation was typed in Word Perfect 5.1 for DOS. I was at U.C.D. for so long that I had to deal with both U.C.D. and the Philosophy Dept. phasing out support for 5.1. So I couldn't print on campus anymore. So I tried Word Perfect 8 for Windows. But Word Perfect didn't have the same pages numbers on the screen as it did for the hard copies it printed out. So it was very difficult to correct typos in a long document. For example if you wanted to correct something on p. 98 of the printed copy, it was very difficult to find it on the screen. Word Perfect 8 for Linux, on the other hand, retained WYSIWYG for 5.1 for DOS. I don't know how I could have finished a 300 page dissertation without Linux. That's a cool story. I was never able to get WP8 to work for Linux (and finally just gave up, even after spending $130 on it), though I really wanted to; WP was always my favorite word processor (OOo is decent, but doesn't have the One True Feature -- reveal codes -- that made WP such a superior product).

Re: [vox-tech] Perl programming problem
Mitch Patenaude said: The PERL module you are using is almost certainly just passing off the mail to your underlying Mail Transport Agent (MTA). It looks like your home machine's MTA isn't configured correctly. You can try to send the mail directly from the command line with the command mail. Type is 'mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]' at the command line, type in a message, and terminate with a single period on a line by itself. (the way email used to be done in the old days :-) If that works, then the MTA is configured correctly. I was afraid it was probably an MTA issue. The host machine is running RH8, which came with Sendmail. I'm not sure I'm heroic enough to take on the task of configuring Sendmail, but I suppose it's either that or install a new MTA.

I'm more apt to to lean towards #2. What kind of computer are you doing this on? Have you read any lmx README files? Maybe they have system requirements or something. There is no system requirements document that came with the CD, but I think you're right about this.

The computer I'm using is an old Dell OptiPlex GT with a Pentium processor. Funny; I just assumed it was at least a Pentium II. It's not.

The PHP script itself is supposed to send out email; when I browse to the page using Lynx or Wget or Firefox, the script runs properly and I see the results in the maillog. In my experience, the usual reason that commands work interactively but not from cron is that they depend on something in your interactive environment. Perhaps wget isn't in the PATH that cron uses, or it requires some environment variable to be set? Well, I've now included the full path to wget -- /usr/bin/wget -- but that doesn't seem to have done it.

I'm trying to install some Perl modules with CPAN on my Debian computer, but it doesn't seem to be working out. It consistently tells me that make test is failing, although it seems that make works elsewhere in the process. I've updated gcc via apt-get, and I have verified that make is in my PATH when logged in as Root (as I normally am when running CPAN). Google tells me nothing. Any hints? -- Slainte, Richard S.

[vox-tech] Upgrading Perl in Debian
My Debian installation has Perl version 5.6; I'd like to upgrade to 5.8. Is there a super-easy way to do that (apt-get doesn't seem to be doing it)?

USB and serial (was Re: [vox-tech] lbncurses.so.4 issue)
Unfortunately, the box on mine proudly proclaims that my model is USB only. And there is indeed no serial port on the back. When Jennifer first found it on Belkin's website, I examined it and saw that the copy said it was compatible with Linux. And, indeed, there is a Linux version of the software on the CD that came with the UPS. However, when I looked at the product description again on Belkin's website, I couldn't find anything saying it was Linux friendly. I feel like I've been had. Assuming the software wants to talk to a serial port, and the device only has a USB port, is there a way to make them talk to each other? On Tue, 2004-02-03 at 00:55, Samuel N.

I have a Regulator Pro Gold, and it has a serial port as well as a USB port. I could be mistaken, but I think the serial cable is just a plain old serial cable. I had NUT working with that UPS for a couple years using the serial cable with nearly zero effort. I tried once or twice to hook it up via USB, but I never did get the software to do anything useful. -- Slainte, Richard S.

[vox-tech] lbncurses.so.4 issue
My wife just picked up for us a Belkin UPS device: a Regulator Pro Gold Series, which looks pretty spiffy. I hooked it up and attached my RH8 server to it, and now I'm trying to get the ups daemon installed. Unfortunately, whenever I try to start up the daemon, I get this error: Error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ...which doesn't surprise me, since the software was tested against no later version of RH than 6.2. My question is, is there a way to get it to talk to RH8? I tried opening the upsd script, but it's a binary file and I can't look at the source code. And while Belkin says it's compatible with Linux, there is no documentation on their website, and the documentation on the CD is lousy. -- Slainte, Richard S.

[vox-tech] Debian networking problem -- where do I start?
This is related to the Samba problem I reported yesterday. Pete suggested I look at /usr/share/doc/samba/DIAGNOSIS.txt. I did so, and most of what I tried on the server worked just fine, and the Samba server seems to be working properly; I can execute smbmount on my Red Hat box and get to the shares just fine. I tried to get to the Windows computer from the Debian computer with no luck. I executed $ ping 192.168.1.165 which is the WinXP's IP address, but with no luck. It seems that the Debian computer can't see the Windows computer; so while I can see the Debian computer from Windows, I can't see any of the shares on it. I've done quite a bit of Googling and poking around on the Debian website, and I've looked at files list /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.allow, executed commands such as /sbin/route -n and so on, and I confess that I am a feeling a bit overwhelmed. Can anyone point me at some on-line beginner's networking resources that could help me resolve this? -- Slainte, Richard S.

Re: [vox-tech] Debian networking problem -- RESOLVED
Short answer: I am a moron. Thanks to everyone who responded and gave me suggestions and ideas. Thanks to Pete and Jeff Newmiller, I realized that the problem was with the Windows computer's own firewall program; I have Zone Alarm on that computer, and I had forgotten to add Lucien to the Trusted Zone. I did that, and everything is working normally now. Thanks again to Mark, Pete, and Jeff. On Wed, 2004-01-28 at 22:08, Richard S.
