Re: An experiment in Linux administration

Yay GNU screen! Terminal multiplexing rocks!
But I still have web server problems. It still says access denied even when my public html and files in it are set to permissions 777.

How's my programming? Call 1-800-DEV-NULL

Is your home dir at least +x for world? 701 would suffice.  Remember, the user running the server needs to be able to execute all directories down to the files you want to serve.

Edit: I did some looking, permissions on your home dir are in fact the problem.

Is your public_html folder recursively set to permissions 777? Is your home folder permissions 701?

Would you mind telling where your server is located?

For anything else, ask more specifically.

Re: An experiment in Linux administration

There's plenty of disk space, since people aren't uploading much, but the net connection is more or less clogged. At this point, the server can't handle many more accounts, but I'll consider making one for people who have experience with servers/administration and are willing to help with advice. I'll delete some of the accounts who have never logged in by tomorrow, and we'll see then.

Re: An experiment in Linux administration

Looks like we have a problem - something's eating my ram!

I checked top, and it looked like there were ten httpd forks taking up about 150MB each - which amounted to three quarters of my 2GB. So I restarted httpd, then tried killing it (which worked)

The ram usage is the same, but the ps aux input doesn't add up. Ideas?

Re: An experiment in Linux administration

That is the way Linux works. It allocates all memory but dont use it until needed.

-/+ buffers/cache:     148948    1908616
if cache becomes zero then you have a RAM problem.

By the way could you add a mail server?

Hey ZankerH, I was just in it for the kicks. Much rather more knowledgable Archers out there helping you out wink
Ahh, well. Would've been nice. A little itty bitty private stash located in Slovenia. Very exotic...:D

Re: An experiment in Linux administration

Oh wow, one of my users managed to crash everything somehow. Rebooting.

Edit: it was a forkbomb.
Everyone is now restricted to 200 processes.
Edit2: And, there goes another account, nice try dding zeroes over /var/tmp. chmod o-w * it is.

Oh wow, one of my users managed to crash everything somehow. Rebooting.

Edit: it was a forkbomb.
Everyone is now restricted to 200 processes.
Edit2: And, there goes another account, nice try dding zeroes over /var/tmp. chmod o-w * it is.

It appears there are several dicks in the world. hmm

tmp is *supposed* to be writeable by everyone... That's what it's there for, and this is why we should have a separate /tmp partition on servers wink

Re: An experiment in Linux administration

Wow, had to delete and restrict a ton of accounts. People are dicks.

ssh now operating on a whitelist, if I missed anyone let me know.

Looking on the bright side, I've now installed the full LAMP stack.

I'd love to put a mail server on it, but I don't even have the slightest idea on where to start, and can't find anything relevant on the wiki. Point me in the right direction?
