It turned out to be easy. For anyone who might find it useful in the future, here's how I did it.
I installed Postfix:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postfix
This starts a...
From the Postfix mailing list, to configure Postfix to deliver localhost email, in /etc/postfix/main.cf set:
myhostname = localhost.localdomain
mydestination = localhost localhost.localdomain

How are the permissions set on the files that you are having trouble accessing?

I would think backing up the configuration file(s) and the /var/www directory would be sufficient. Then you could just paste the backed up files and directories into a new server and you'd quickly be...
I have a 14.04 server running and I need an MTA for messages from cron, etc., nothing else. Is something like Postfix really my only option? Looking at how to configure it I'm a little intimidated....
Apparently the script is running daily. I think it was making it executable that finally got it working. Thanks for your help!

No, there are only full path names in the script.
Thanks. I will check there when I get home.

I have a script that runs rsync that I have placed in /etc/cron.daily and it doesn't execute. I could just edit root's crontab but I would like to figure out why I can't get the script to run the way...
I'm no expert but it looks to me like you might need to change permissions to allow group members and/or others to write to the documents directories (folders). Do you know how to read and change...
Look into using ssh:
I restarted the server and it works now. It has to be either the way I was restarting the network services:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
or, maybe, putting both DNSes and the gateway in...
I'm sorry, I meant /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf is a link.
I have that code in /etc/network/nameservers but it isn't working. I looked at the manpage for resolvconf and followed some of the links. It looks like a description of how daemons and scripts place...
I have an Ubuntu 14.04 server with a static IP number. It can find other computers, both on my LAN and on the WAN but only by IP number. It obviously needs to be able to find a DNS.
The 14.04...
Could be it's just a too-cheap switch then. I'm not sure where it gets power but it has to be through either the PS2 or VGA connection. It's also hard to diagnose when I only get an hour at a time to...
It may just be hot-plugging that caused the problem. I reconnected the KVM switch and restarted both machines and it seems to be working for now. I tried so many things along the way I just can't be...
As I understand it, 14.04 was released in April as the new LTS release. If you have 12.04, the last LTS release, the upgrade to 14.04 will be available via the update manager without the -d option in...
I just got an HP Probook 6455b for $189 (Buy-it-Now) and free shipping at eBay. The 6455b is on the HCL but it's hard to tell if you're getting the exact configuration specified there. It took a few...
Has anyone tried using a KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) switch, especially during server installation? I'm using an Iogear GCS62 (PS2, no USB) and once I switch to the installation machine the keyboard...
I just want to relate my difficulty installing 12.04 on an HP ProBook 6455b laptop, in case it might help someone in the future. I had a hard time finding any relevant information on the internet. I...
