The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server

Yes that's the correct IP, when I'm not home, I turn off the computer in question.

Code:

~# ls -la /home/tommytomato
ls: /home/tommytomato: No such file or directory

So it says tommy is not there, but when I try to add it in I get this

I added tommytomato to the system via this command

Code:

useradd -d /home/tommytomato -g users tommytomato

I can only hang around for half hour and then I have to go to work, your welcome to ping the server now

TT

 

IS that computer behind a router? If so, did you forward port 25 from your router to that computer? Does your ISP maybe block port 25?

Please create the directory like this:

Code:

mkdir /home/tommytomato
chown tommytomato:users /home/tommytomato

 

Code:

mkdir /home/tommytomato
chown tommytomato:users /home/tommytomato

That is done. NO my ISP doesn't block port 25

The port 25 is open and pointing to the PC in question

I sent mail to the tommy account and it has made the Maildir

Not able to conntect to recive mail.
same message as before

TT

 

Would it be the ports on the so called PC

correct me if I'm wrong, I have read that Ubuntu only has certain ports open and blocks all the rest.

I tried using other mail clients from with in my network to contect to the PC in question, the PC recives mail ok ,but I'm not able to contect to the PC in question to retive the mail

I'm not a big fan of iptables, is there a command line firewall gui that can bring up the firewall, all other ports are open on my router

I'm not sure, but i have ask if my ISP blocks port 25, I dont know if you can view this link

Is the rockinghamgateway.com computer in the same local network as your own computer? If so, it's possible that your router doesn't support loopbacks.

 

yes the PC in quetion is in the same network

What do you mean by loop backs ?

a Few years ago, when I got into Linux I was using fedore core, a mate had setup a email server, I was able to contect to it via another pc, so it did work.

I'm running a NB1300 plus 4 port router.

TT

 

That means that if you request rockinghamgateway.com from a computer in your LAN, the requests passes your router and then goes back into your LAN, because rockinghamgateway.com is in your LAN. Some routers don't support this.

Did you open port 25 in your router's firewall?

 

Yes I did add the port 25 to the router firewall,


I also have edited the hosts file on my GUI box so I can view my domains
/etc/hosts

has 192.168.1.100 www.rockinghamgateway.com
192.168.1.100 rockinghamgateway.com

TT

 

Can you change that to

Code:

192.168.1.100 www.rockinghamgateway.com rockinghamgateway.com

?

 

Yep I've done that

I've got this far on the mail side of things

Code:

Connected to rockinghamgateway.com
Escape character is '^]'.
220 rockinghamgateway.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
ehlo rockinghamgateway.com
250-rockinghamgateway.com
250-PIPELINING

250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250 8BITMIME
quit
221 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.

So I spose its working, how ever I haven't been able to contect to it using a GUI email client from another PC other than the Server.

Got another question

Apache 2 root directory for putting site files is /var/www

how come I cant view any files apart from my index.html file

Code:

root@rockinghamgateway:/var/www# ls -al
total 316
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root   4096 2007-06-18 21:18 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root   4096 2007-06-18 20:45 ..
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root   4096 2007-06-18 21:17 4x4

and so on

I'm not using ispconf, php not working, how can i turn it on to view my pages

TT

 

I did a bit of a search, didn't really find how to fix, only found out how to out put the apache stuff

Code:

root@rockinghamgateway:/var/www# ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-available

Looks good.

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

? Are the ports 25 and 110 open in your firewall?

Did you upload any files to that directory?

In the Perfect Setup, there's a section about disabling PHP that you must not follow if you don't want to use ISPConfig. So if you've followed it, please undo these steps now.

 

I see so your saying to uncomment those php lines

Code:

[...]
#application/x-httpd-php                                phtml pht php
#application/x-httpd-php-source                 phps
#application/x-httpd-php3                       php3
#application/x-httpd-php3-preprocessed          php3p
#application/x-httpd-php4                       php4
[...]

Undo everything from chapter 13.1 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p6 .

 

thanks mate

Funny thing as happend

after trying to work out iptables for ports, i was able to open ports, stuff knows how, but i can now send my mail from my GUI email client to my rockinghamgateway account, the server recives the mail ok

can log into hotmail and send mail to rockinghamgateway account and it gets it ok,

but when trying to send mail using the rockinghamgateway account
I get this message from my GUI eamil client

I've tried the pasword i use, but it dont seem to be working

any other ideas please.

TT

 

Here are my log's in image form

image 1 all the logs together, did i miss any


Image 2
when reciving mail from GUI client from another computer other than the server ( if that makes sence )

 

Here is the error I'm not sure as to why it throws up the password box all the time, let alone let me send mail from the rockinghamgateway mail account, if that makes sence



when clicking on the images they come up alittle out of wack, click on it again to view better image.
TT

 

Any reason to why i cant send mail from the rockinghamgateway.com email account, keeps coming up with smtp password box

I have some more log images with the ports open from the router, if thats any help

TT
