Hi folks, Server A Ubuntu server 6.06.4 amd64 hostname=lampserver IP add - 192.168.0.52 Server B Ubuntu server 7.04 amd64 hostname=mail.satimis.com IP add - 192.168.0.10 They are connected to the same router. Server A $ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start Code: * Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon... [ ok ] * Starting rpc nfsd... [ ok ] * Starting rpc mountd... [ ok ] Server B $ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start Code: * Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon... exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "*:/ubuntu". Assuming default behaviour ('subtree_check'). NOTE: this default will change with nfs-utils version 1.1.0 exportfs: /etc/exports [2]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "*:/home". Assuming default behaviour ('subtree_check'). NOTE: this default will change with nfs-utils version 1.1.0 [ OK ] * Starting NFS kernel daemon [ OK ] Here it seems having problem. Please advise where to check and how to fix the problem Server A $ sudo mount mail.satimis.com:/ubuntu /mnt Code: mount to NFS server 'mail.satimis.com' failed: server is down. B.R. satimis
maybe this will help or not if u do an ping ping mail.satimis.com what IP address do you get an LAN IP address of the box or your WAN IP if you getting your WAN IP on the www host box vi /etc/hosts <IP> <TAB> mail.satimis.com save it and reping and see if it will fix the failing to mount problem
Hi zcworld, Thanks for your advice. $ ping mail.satimis.com Code: PING mail.satimis.com (220.232.213.178) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 220.232.213.178: icmp_seq=1 ttl=150 time=1.24 ms 64 bytes from 220.232.213.178: icmp_seq=2 ttl=150 time=0.664 ms 64 bytes from 220.232.213.178: icmp_seq=3 ttl=150 time=0.715 ms WAN IP Sorry I don't follow. Whether LAN IP or WAN IP $ cat /etc/hosts Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.10 mail.satimis.com mail # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts Do I need reboot PC after changing /etc/hosts ? ? ? TIA B.R. satimis
no reboot needed when editing the hosts file ok on the WAN / LAN if your using server1.mysite.com but you dont have setup the server1.mysite.com = 10.10.10.1 in the hosts file it will try to find the IP in that case it will be trying the public IP
Tried 3 setup on /etc/hosts in respect of the line Code: 220.232.213.178 mail.satimis.com mail OR Code: 192.168.0.10 mail.satimis.com mail OR nothing there Code: mail.satimis.com mail ping still find the WAN, 220.232.213.178 All $ sudo mount mail.satimis.com:/ubuntu /mnt Code: mount to NFS server 'mail.satimis.com' failed: server is down satimis
check the firewall and make sure its letting the NFS port out and restart the NFS server on the remote box ( i take it that you done the /etc/export file as well there you set the IP / RW or RO settings )
On Mail Server - Server B Edit /etc/rc.local and add following lines on "OUTPUT Code: iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT # nfs port iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT # nfs port Remark: I'm not very clear of "udp" function. Just add this line as well. Is "2049" the correct port? $ sudo /etc/init.d/portmap restart Code: * Stopping portmap daemon... [ OK ] * Starting portmap daemon...

Do I need caring the WARNING there? Still fail to mout; $ sudo mount mail.satimis.com:/ubuntu /mnt Code: mount to NFS server 'mail.satimis.com' failed: server is down. Also tried "stop iptables running" with same result. On Server B - Mail Server $ cat /etc/exports Code: /ubuntu *(ro,sync,no_root_squash) /home *(rw,sync,no_root_squash) On Server A $ cat /etc/exports Code: # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported # to NFS clients. See exports(5). /ubuntu *(ro,sync,no_root_squash) /home *(rw,sync,no_root_squash) Sorry I don't follow. Pls explain in more detail. Thanks B.R. satimis
try this /ubuntu 192.168.0.52(ro,sync,no_root_squash) /home 192.168.0.52(rw,sync,no_root_squash) on the server b mail.satimis.com than " exportfs -ra " than retry check out this http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ page 4 this is what i use to get my NFS up and working
Edit /etc/exports (Mail Server) $ cat /etc/exports Code: /ubuntu 192.168.0.52(ro,sync,no_root_squash) /home 192.168.0.52(rw,sync,no_root_squash) $ sudo exportfs -ra Code: exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.0.52:/ubuntu".

Still fail. $ sudo mount mail.satimis.com:/ubuntu /mnt Code: Password: mount to NFS server 'mail.satimis.com' failed: server is down. Thanks. I'll go through it first and come back latter B.R. satimis
