Right then - I have issues with Terminal in Xubuntu - whenever I click on "Terminal" it logs me off and sends me right back to the login screen - WTF?! I have however installed Konsole, so its not too bad. Now, trying to install Samba, following Glider's first guide, I have got to the point where its time to restart Samba and apply a username and password. Restarting = no probs. setting an username = AAAAARGH!!!! If anyone, (spesh Glider, or anyone who knows what they're doing in Lunux) could tell me where I'm going wrong/what I should be doing, I'd be grateful. Joe
The Xubuntu Terminal will give X-errors if it's older hardware you're running it under. This is the thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=422595&highlight=Xubuntu+terminal+restarts And the associated bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-terminal/+bug/91849
Apologies to all for my lack of detail. AFAIK, I've set the user account for Samba up properly, however, when I type \\127.0.1.1\home in my Windows computer, it asks for user and password, and then just freaks out. However, there are two things on a similar IP in the connection setting - theres 127.0.0.1 - localhost, and 127.0.1.1 - Serverlicious (the name for my server... :$) But it won't let me connect - should I go for the localhost or the actual IP of the server? Joe
Right, I've made the grand and sweeping thingummy that Samba does in fact work, its just my lame self that can't work out WTF is up with my Windows machine... anyways... I have moved on to ProFTPd - and when restarting said application, I get the following error message in Konsole. Code: root@Serverlicious:/home/m0o0oeh# nano /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf root@Serverlicious:/home/m0o0oeh# /etc/init.d/proftpd restart * Stopping ftp server proftpd [ OK ] * Starting ftp server proftpd - Fatal: <Directory>: missing arguments on line 98 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf' [fail] Any suggestions? Joe
Well, you connect to the localhost of your Windows PC. You should connect to the IP of the server There is an error in the parsing of the config on the Bit-tech article. TheEclypse has given a easier config to replace it here: Code: ServerName "Deep Thought" ServerType standalone ServerIdent on "DeepThought" DeferWelcome on DefaultServer on DisplayLogin .welcome # Textfile to display on login DisplayConnect .connect # Textfile to display on connection DisplayFirstChdir .firstchdir # Textfile to display on first changedir UseReverseDNS off IdentLookups off Port 21 Umask 022 MaxInstances 15 MaxClientsPerHost 3 "Only %m connections per host allowed" MaxClients 10 "Only %m total simultanious logins allowed" MaxHostsPerUser 1 User nobody Group nogroup ScoreboardFile /var/log/scoreboard # Some logging formats LogFormat default "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b" LogFormat auth "%v [%P] %h %t \"%r\" %s" LogFormat write "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b" # Define log-files to use TransferLog /var/log/proftpd.xferlog ExtendedLog /var/log/proftpd.access_log WRITE,READ write ExtendedLog /var/log/proftpd.auth_log AUTH auth ExtendedLog /var/log/proftpd.paranoid_log ALL default AllowStoreRestart on AllowRetrieveRestart on RequireValidShell off PathDenyFilter "\\.ftp)|\\.ht)[a-z]+$" DefaultRoot / DenyFilter \*.*/ ListOptions "" strict
Right, ProFTPd is still having issues - no address is associated with the server name. also, Samba - Glider, it must just be me... I type in \\127.0.1.1\home, enter, and it brings up the logon box sure enough, but i put all the details in and it just refuses to let me access my home directory on the server. As I say it probably is me, but these things are constantly sent to try me. If you can tell me where I'm going wrong (cause I'm positive its me....) I'd appreciate it. Joe
This is normal, an IPv6 and DNS error You type this (the bold quote) in Windows right? Well there are 2 errors in it. First the IP. 127.0.0.1 is the localhost address. Localhost on the Windows PC meaning the Windows PC. So you aren't connecting to the server. You need to input the IP address of the server. To get this easily, open up a terminal, and type Code: sudo ifconfig You'll get something like The bold is your Servers IP (be sure to look under eth#) The 2nd error is the sharename, it should be \\<ip of the server>\homes
It looks like you have set your server's IP address to 127.0.1.1, which is also a loopback address (like 127.0.0.1), so like Glider says, when you try to access \\127.0.1.1\home from a PC, you are actually trying to access a local share on that PC. I assume you have set your server's IP statically? If so change it to be in the same range as the PC you are trying to access it from (e.g.: PC = 192.168.1.2 then server could be 192.168.1.3).
Cheers all, I have now successfully connected to my Homes directory! As you all said, it was the IP address that was the issue. Cheers! Joe ::EDIT::New issue folks.... Code: root@Serverlicious:/home/m0o0oeh# /etc/init.d/proftpd restart * Stopping ftp server proftpd [ OK ] * Starting ftp server proftpd - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'Serverlicious' error: No address associated with hostname [ OK ] restarting ProFTPd after editing the .conf file, and it has issues - if its me doing something wrong I'll scream.... Joe
I am having the same problem! It says, "- IPv6 getaddrinfo 'server' error: No address associated with the hostname
