Well, I managed to get some more 800 RAM from the old box I was re-purposing parts from, and I got all 4 2GB 800mhz sticks in the server, then updated the BIOS after I got the DELL service tag and...

I had not had my coffee when I looked at the results so I didn't even notice that, but that is interesting, it is showing some as 666 and some as 800 in the memtest. The really weird thing is that...

Alrighty, so last night I tried defaulting the BIOS just in case, and that did not seem to do anything, so I left the memtest running overnight. I apparently cannot insert images into posts on this...

Hmm, the memtest is a good idea, I forgot that existed. I will try to run that overnight tonight I guess.

The memory all came from a single machine that is identical to the one I am using, and...

I have an Ubuntu Server that formerly had 2X512MB sticks, and 1X2GB stick and ran that way for about a week. I had previously ran a 14.04 server for about 3 years with that same hardware, but I...

You know, I did search for more information about the echo command because I saw other people doing somewhat similar things and they all had that in there somewhere, but then I started to kind of...

That is just how my script originally was before I added the logging and conditional e-mail parts and it always worked fine. My original script was basically


#!/bin/bash
# Performs full backup...

I wouldn't say it is necessary per se, but I like that if a particularly long rsync job is running, I could attach to the screen and watch it's progress if i so desired.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

Instead of running screen as part of the script the way I used to, I just took that out and called screen -d -m as part of the cron job. So now my cron line looks like...

I have a headless Ubuntu 14.04 server I manage solely over SSH. It is basically a webserver/fileserver.

I have been using rsync for quite some time to perform backups, but I have been trying to...

I have an Ubuntu 14.04.3 server that crashed this past weekend due to a failed motherboard. I have 2 X 2TB drives in the machine, and two MDADM RAID1 arrays (1 for SWAP space, 1 for / and everything...

So I have found a similar problem on some other forums, but it is a bit different in my case. I noticed when I was trying to SFTP from my work computer to my home server (which I have done for years...

I use SSMTP for things like logwatch, fail2ban, mdadm notifications, and certain scripts so they can use a gmail account I have solely for this purpose to send...

Hey, welcome to Linux! I have traditionally set my RAIDs up at install time, but I had a recent experience (just look down a few posts on this forum) where I had to rebuild an array the old fashioned...

Yeah, after this debacle, I found an article discussing the use of this program, so I downloaded it to all my NASs and tested all the drives with it. After rebuilding the array, I have had no further...

Thank you all so much for your help with this. I decided to go with a script that uses the command:


SEEDYHOSTS=$(cat /etc/firewall/seedyhosts)
for h in $SEEDYHOSTS
do
iptables -D INPUT -m...

Fascinating, thank you! I am a little embarrassed I did not figure this out from the man pages of iptables which I have read through quite a bit in trying to find a solution. I did not realize that...

So I have piddled with this problem for a little while, and I found a post in another forum where someone suggested putting hostnames in a file I did not know existed at /etc/hosts.deny. This...

So I loaded a USB drive and got on a public wifi and went to the URL (http://hotel.qunar.com/render/hoteldiv.jsp) that keeps pegging my server, and it prompted me to download a .js script file. Here...

Thank you! I was wondering if there was a simple way to just ban IP addresses. I looked in /etc/rc,local and it says the script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel, I am not sure I know...

Hello! I have a personal web server that I host with DDNS to share things with friends and family because I believe facebook to be the devil.

My server is a 14.04 using apache2, and I use fail2ban...

Ok, so I tried rebooting the machine and even though the RAID array does not have the OS installed on it (the OS is installed on a compact flash card that is built into the motherboard) it would not...

I have tried to search the internet as much as possible, but I cannot find a solution to my problem. I have a 12.04 server with two radi5 arrays, each with 6 disks. I use samba to tie it to a windows...

Hmm, so from your LAN, you said you can in fact do https://publicIP:25443 and hit your site, but what about http, does it also work locally using the public IP? I am kind of running out of ideas, you...
