What is the point of /etc/resolv.conf if /etc/network/interfaces contains dns-nameservers for each interface that specifies the DNS? Does one override the other?

I resolved the issue after re-reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingUseOfApacheHtaccessFiles

Hi,

i want to set up .htaccess on my Apache web server such that all users are straight-up denied access except one user which is my IP. Since this IP represents my entire home network, I also...

Hi,
I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Vaio laptop but the right click only works if I click with two fingers on the right side? How can I set up a regular right click with just one finger?

Just a question, on my laptop (not the server), resolv.conf had a nameserver of 127.0.0.1. Also, interfaces did not contain any info on dns nameservers. So how does my computer resolve domain names?...

Perfect, that did the trick! I updated resolv.conf, restarted the network and there it was.

It's been over a day now, and I'm still getting that crappy network solutions under construction page at home. Although, it's fine from my computer at work, so I know I set up the DNS properly. I'll...

Thanks, I just used freedns.com, and set up my domain name with them. It should be working now. I just need to wait for the changes to propagate through the internet.

OK, so I recently purchased a domain name from Network Solutions that I would like to attach to my Ubuntu web server that I have recently installed. My website has an IP that can be accessed from...

You may need to open up port 80 on your webserver. Try going to your router's page on your browser, and open up port 80. If you need to set up FTP or SSH, or some other service on your webserver,...

OK, so my experimenting results were not successful. When I tried to configure eth0 and eth1 with the same IP (192.168.0.2), followed by a network restart, eth0 failed. Same thing happened if I...

Hi BkkBonanza,

You are my hero. :D
After several failed attempts yesterday, I just shut down the server and went to sleep. But when I woke up today, I added the default gateay for eth0 again, and...

Hold on, I'm trying your edited suggestions.

I ran

sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth0
and it executed successfuly. Then I ran route -n, and you can see that it successfully configured the gateway:

Hi BkkBonanza,

I followed your instructions and I have not established a wireless connection successfully yet, but it definitely did exactly what it was supposed to do as ifconfig indicates that...

Hi, so I have ethernet running on my Ubuntu server, but I can't seem to figure out how to get my wireless network configured properly. First of all, I don't seem to have a wlan0 interface. During the...

Thanks guys, that solved my problem.
First, I changed my interfaces file for a static ip as darkod suggested. I used eth1. Also, I used 192.168.0.2, since that wasn't used by any other machine (I...

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help. I'm at work right now so I can't do anything on my server just yet. I'll make sure to try out your suggestions first thing when I get home.

Hi,

i recently installed Ubuntu server 12.04 on my computer. During the installation process, I could not connect to the internet so I skipped that step and I never established a proper connection...

Hi,

I have a 30 GB root.disk file sitting in /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk, and I don't know what exactly it does. If all my OS info is stored in this file, does that mean I don't have Ubuntu...

I found that when I connect a USB mouse, it works but the touchpad and keyboard still do not work. Can someone please offer a suggestion as to how to fix this situation?
Thanks

Hi,

So I installed Ubuntu 12.04 a couple of days ago and I really love it. But there is the problem that whenever I suspend the computer and wake it up later, the keyboard and touchpad are no...
