Grogerf Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sorry you will have to re-do the updates . . . Yep you will need a static IP address on all systems for this to work . . . . and you can do so at install ( summary screen --> network --> wizard --> not DHCP but manual ) BrunoHallo Bruno Thanks for your reply - yes I would like to get it right - pity about all those updates :'( :'( .Before I start I'll check up the forum entries on static IP addresses. However I won't let the IP addresses get in the way of the fresh installation - I'm sure that can be fixed after the install.Watch this space Grogerf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Usually, when you use the skip.list ( in your case you should also add "kernel-server" and "kernel-server-latest" to it ) you will see the kernel updates listed but their boxes won't be ticked. Also the update-applet will turn green also if those updates are still there in the MCC.A small detail: I wonder why you have "kernel-server" where most of us have "kernel-desktop" . . . . anyway it is not that important because the both support >1GB RAM Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only update showing in the MCC update list then was kernel-server-latest - Virtual rpm for latest kernel-server​ and it had no tick on the box. I'm not sure what happened to "kernel-server" - it didn't show at all - and I know that I didn't update it As to why I had the kernel-server and not kernel-desktop I can't shed any light - I did not check the 'server' box on the installation!I now have both machines running on static IP addresses now - thanks to you and striker's remove/delete network post Next I'll set up the ftp server on this machine - hopefully all will go well now GrogerfEdit 1Oops the ftp server did not go the way I wanted it to. I only installed the server on the first machine (first drakwizard, then follow the prompts under "share' in the MCC) and all seemed to go well. But when I tried access using Konqueror from machine#2 I got a could not connect to host message I checked /etc/proftpd.conf and edited it to include the ip range needed as before, then ran # service proftpd restart, - but still the same result.Here is the result from "cat /etc/proftpd.conf" - I hope that you will be able to point out my error :-[roger@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/proftpd.conf## /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf -- This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.## Includes DSO modulesInclude /etc/proftpd.d/*.conf# This is the directory where DSO modules residesModulePath /usr/lib64/proftpd# Allow only user root to load and unload modules, but allow everyone# to see which modules have been loadedModuleControlsACLs insmod,rmmod allow user rootModuleControlsACLs lsmod allow user *ServerName grandpaServerType standaloneDeferWelcome onMultilineRFC2228 onDefaultServer onShowSymlinks onTimeoutNoTransfer 600TimeoutStalled 600TimeoutIdle 1200DisplayLogin welcome.msgDisplayChdir .messageListOptions "-l"DenyFilter \*.*/UseIPv6 Off# Allow FTP resuming.# Remember to set to off if you have an incoming ftp for upload.AllowStoreRestart on# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.Port 21# In some cases you have to specify passive ports range to by-pass# firewall limitations.

What sources are active in the MCC . . is the proftp installed 100% sure from the Mandriva sources ( not from PLF or other sources ) BrunoHallo Bruno Thank you for your reply and your patience. I wondered if the server wasn't running - something changed because the first time I made a change to include the IP range of the second machine it re-started without problem In response to your questions:-1. I don't think I set up a software firewall on the machine, how do I check?2. proftpd (not sure of version -should have checked) is installed (see below)3. Removed & then re-installed the proftpd 1.3.1-0-rc3.0mdv2008.0 x86_64 and finished up with a three part .rpm save message & some other stuff -see below.4. PLF not shown in sources at all - only the sources from the 'Official updates' and 'Distribution sources' buttons in the MCCWhen the proftpd 1.3.1-0-rc3.0mdv2008.0 x86_64 installation finished three notes came up with the opportunity of doing nothing, choosing proftpd.conf original, or choosing proftpd.conf.rpmsave.I choose 'do nothing' and finished up with both files and a back up of the old proftpd.conf in /etcWhen I tried to configure the ftp server in the MCC it failed and told me to reconfigure the log is here :-16:15:01 drakwizard[10010]: ### Program is starting ### 16:15:01 drakwizard[10010]: ### Program is starting ### 16:15:01 drakwizard[10010]: running: /bin/rpm -q --qf %{name} proftpd 16:15:18 drakwizard[10010]: modified file /etc/proftpd.conf 16:15:18 last message repeated 26 times16:15:18 drakwizard[10010]: running: /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd status 16:15:18 drakwizard[10010]: running: /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd start This process is getting very convoluted . I'm begining to wonder if it would be better to use the proftd 1.3.1-0-rc3.0mdv2008.0 i586 ( or NFS/samba)The proftpd upgrade information follows :-Upgrade informationMandriva RPM specific notesmodules support --------------- proftpd-1.3.0 now loads the modules dynamically, very few modules are compiled into the proftpd binary. The new configuration file /etc/proftpd.conf uses a "Include /etc/proftpd.d/*.conf" statement which makes proftpd very similar to how modules are loaded and the configuration of apache-2.x. Because of this you may have to manually merge your old configuration into the new /etc/proftpd.conf file. This is especially true if you are using LDAP, because then the mod_ldap.so proftpd module will not be automatically loaded. Here is a list of the modules that are compiled as DSO's:o mod_autohost.so <- NEW o mod_ban.so <- NEW o mod_case.so <- NEW o mod_clamav.so <- NEW o mod_ctrls_admin.so <- NEW o mod_facl.so o mod_gss.so o mod_ifsession.so o mod_ldap.so o mod_load.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab_file.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab_ldap.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab_sql.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab_radius.so <- NEW o mod_radius.so o mod_ratio.so o mod_rewrite.so o mod_shaper.so <- NEW o mod_site_misc.so <- NEW o mod_sql.so <- NEW o mod_sql_mysql.so <- NEW o mod_sql_postgres.so <- NEW o mod_time.so <- NEW o mod_tls.so o mod_wrap2.so <- NEW o mod_wrap2_file.so <- NEW o mod_wrap2_sql.so <- NEWanonymous access configuration ------------------------------ Starting with 1.3.0-3mdv2007.1, there is no proftpd-anonymous package anymore. As it is just a configuration issue, providing a dedicated package was a bit overkill. Samples configuration files are available among normal package documentation. You may have to update your configuration manually.I do have the three lots of information saved in a text file that came up after installing proftpd ('/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf', '/etc/proftpd.conf.rpmsave' and 'changes') if needed Looking forward to your reply - I'm sure it will make sense to you Grogerf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yep you could have a look if proftd 1.3.1-0-rc3.0mdv2008.0 i586 works better . . . . it might do the trick. ( I have proftpd-1.3.1-0.rc3.0mdv2008.0.i586 installed and working okay )The test-case is: what is the reply to: "# service proftpd restart" . . do we get "OK" or "FAILED" The fact that it is rewriting the proftpd.conf is not an issue . . no worries there.

BrunoHallo Bruno ,Thanks for your continued interest .I removed proftpd and replace it with the i586 version - same results as before - both come up with "FAILED" as the result of "# service proftpd restart" So that removes the possibility of proftpd being the cause of the problem. I suppose I should go back to the 64 bit version What should be checked next? You mentioned a possible software firewall problem earlier. I set the security level to 'normal' when doing the installation, and when I go into MCC under 'Security' none of the boxes are ticked under the set up a personal firewall area.Looking forward to nailing this problem Grogerf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 So that removes the possibility of proftpd being the cause of the problem.

Grogerf Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Well, it does not really . . . because it is the proftpd that refuses to start after all. BrunoHallo Again Bruno ,Thanks for your reply, I take your point that it could be proftpd that is the problem after all. But what to do? I've tried both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions and neither would re-start. Should I remove proftpd and drakwizard and any files they've left behind that could cause problems on a re-install (don't know what these files might be named) and start over again? (The re-start of proftpd did work when I first edited proftpd.conf to include the IP range of the second machine. However it wouldn't restart the second time I edited proftpd.conf to change the email address to 'root' or thereafter.)I really don't know what to do - what would you suggest? The aim is to be able to share files and printers with the second machine, both being connected to the same Ethernet switch, which is in turn connected to a combined ADSL modem and firewall. The system worked perfectly using Mandriva 2007 on both machines :'( Looking forward to your suggestions Grogerf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Well I am a bit puzzled by it myself . . . . . So the questions are: Are you fully updated ? Is it the 64bits version ( of proftpd ) you have installed now? And can you do a "urpmf --requires proftpd" so we can see where your version of proftpd depends on ?

Grogerf Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Wouldn't it be easier to set up a new strategy to reach the goals :There are more ways than only one leading to Rome. Hallo striker Thanks for your continued interest and words of wisdom :'( I would be happy with any safe way of achieving the desired results I don't mind if it's the 'autobahn' or a 'country road' - it's just that the ftp for file sharing and then CUPS for the printer worked very well in mdv 2007. When something doesn't work - whatever it is I like to find out why and fix it - I agree sometimes this turns out to be more trouble than it's worth Let's hope that this ftp file sharing is fixed soon - otherwise I guess it's going to be NFS or Samba - or whatever else so long as it finishes up in 'Rome'Grogerf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I have attempted to configure proftpd before trying to restart it?Looking forward to the light GrogerfHere's the result :-[root@grandpa roger]# urpmi ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/2008.0/x86_64/media/main/backports/proftpd-1.3.1-3mdv2008.0.x86_64.rpminstalling proftpd-1.3.1-3mdv2008.0.x86_64.rpm from /var/cache/urpmi/partialPreparing... ############################################# 1/1: proftpd #############################################----------------------------------------------------------------------More information on package proftpd-1.3.1-3mdv2008.0.x86_64Mandriva RPM specific notesmodules support---------------proftpd-1.3.0 now loads the modules dynamically, very few modules are compiledinto the proftpd binary. The new configuration file /etc/proftpd.conf uses a"Include /etc/proftpd.d/*.conf" statement which makes proftpd very similar tohow modules are loaded and the configuration of apache-2.x. Because of this youmay have to manually merge your old configuration into the new/etc/proftpd.conf file. This is especially true if you are using LDAP, becausethen the mod_ldap.so proftpd module will not be automatically loaded. Here is alist of the modules that are compiled as DSO's: o mod_autohost.so <- NEW o mod_ban.so <- NEW o mod_case.so <- NEW o mod_clamav.so <- NEW o mod_ctrls_admin.so <- NEW o mod_facl.so o mod_gss.so o mod_ifsession.so o mod_ldap.so o mod_load.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab_file.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab_ldap.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab_sql.so <- NEW o mod_quotatab_radius.so <- NEW o mod_radius.so o mod_ratio.so o mod_rewrite.so o mod_shaper.so <- NEW o mod_site_misc.so <- NEW o mod_sql.so <- NEW o mod_sql_mysql.so <- NEW o mod_sql_postgres.so <- NEW o mod_time.so <- NEW o mod_tls.so o mod_wrap2.so <- NEW o mod_wrap2_file.so <- NEW o mod_wrap2_sql.so <- NEWanonymous access configuration------------------------------Starting with 1.3.0-3mdv2007.1, there is no proftpd-anonymous package anymore.As it is just a configuration issue, providing a dedicated package was a bitoverkill.

Anyway . . . let us do one more attempt: # urpme proftpd this should remove the proftpd that currently is installed . . . . please watch that it only takes down the proftpd package and no other packages.Next check if also the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd is removed by the above command ( it should ! )Once the present proftpd is removed we will download the very latest one that is in cooker: $ wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/MandrakeCooker/cooker/x86_64/media/main/release/proftpd-1.3.1-6mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm This command issued as user will download the proftpd-1.3.1-6mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm package to your /home . . . next we will install it: # rpm -ihv proftpd-1.3.1-6mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm ( please show the output of this command on the forum )Next you try again, the now well-known command: # service proftpd restart Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
