Apache and umask for document root
by Alex 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi, I've set up a virtual host for a joomla website and having some permissions problems. I've seen numerous configurations online about how to set umask for the apache user, but none have worked, including creating a systemd file (/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service) with the following: [Unit] Description=The Apache HTTP Server After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=notify Environment=LANG=C Umask=0006 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful # Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop KillSignal=SIGWINCH KillMode=mixed PrivateTmp=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target The problem is that the files are owned by the joomla user, but also need to have access (both read and write) to be able to modify some files within the document root. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set umask for the apache user? I'm also interested in recommended permissions settings for the joomla document root. Thanks, Alex

SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months. Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's even seen a dual layer disk :'( SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable? Is anybody already running them with Fedora? Thanks for any advice/experiences. Dave F

[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

From what I understood, the change to openssh listed in: rpm -q --changelog openssh |less as: "* Wed Jun 20 2007 Tomas Mraz <tmraz(a)redhat.com> - 4.5p1-7 - experimental NSS keys support - correctly setup context when empty level requested (#234951) " was supposed to allow the Common Access Card (CAC) to work with the shipped Fedora 8 ssh. As per NSS usual, everything is undocumented, i.e., `ssh-add --help` does not help at all, and `man ssh-add` points to `ssh-add -s reader` # ssh-add -s 0 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 0 # ssh-add -s 1 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 1 So does anyone know how to use the possible functionality, or are we reduced to reading the source? -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter

Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming messages? If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just change it to the current date. If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just change it to the current date. I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how. I've done some searching, still have some to do. Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if necessary.

Re: Backing up system
by gmspro 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, http://www.sysresccd.org/Download With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage" After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000". Is this file ok to restore? If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000" But here below http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots the file is name like this: "diskimage.pimg" Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly? And how can I restore it?

What do you open .mobi files with??
by Beartooth 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Something on sourceforge has been recommended to me, but I try to stick to things that dnf can install. Surely there must be some Fedora- native ebook reader! -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site. That site will be the place I present services to the world; httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers" and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net; if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address, and I am not opening any inbound ports. There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html ) and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth, and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail. Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to break with FC1 or FC2?

ACPI errors (was: f24 boot fails; need help).
by William 19 Dec '18

Good evening, One of the problems reported in the log file "rdsosreport.txt" generated by the failed boots discussed in the "f24 boot fails; need help" topic was a set of "ACPI" errors. Here are the relevant lines (with added line numbers) from that log file (the first and last lines are just for context): ---------- 862 [ 1.218683] coyote kernel: ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) 863 [ 1.218927] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 864 [ 1.219196] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 865 [ 1.219856] coyote kernel: ata2.00: ATA-8: ST2000DM001-1CH164, CC24, max UDMA/133 866 [ 1.220017] coyote kernel: ata2.00: 3907029168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA 867 [ 1.220812] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 868 [ 1.221100] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 869 [ 1.221620] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 870 [ 1.221909] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 871 [ 1.222200] coyote kernel: ata6.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH14NS40, 1.00, max UDMA/100 872 [ 1.222374] coyote kernel: ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133 873 [ 1.222582] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 874 [ 1.222908] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 875 [ 1.222919] coyote kernel: scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST2000DM001-1CH1 CC24 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 876 [ 1.223466] coyote kernel: ata4.00: ATAPI: PIONEER BD-RW BDR-208M, 1.10, max UDMA/100 877 [ 1.226360] coyote kernel: ata7: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 878 [ 1.226407] coyote kernel: ata9: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 879 [ 1.226501] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 880 [ 1.226507] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 881 [ 1.226519] coyote kernel: ata6.00: configured for UDMA/100 882 [ 1.227197] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 883 [ 1.227204] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 884 [ 1.227217] coyote kernel: ata4.00: configured for UDMA/100 ---------- What is this all about? Is this a real problem or a false alarm? How do I fix it? thanks, Bill.

Install on Zotac Zbox CI327?
by wwp 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Hello there, (after a looong time not using Fedora, just back to it!) I've tried installing Fedora on a Zotac Zbox CI327 (Intel Celeron N3450 inside) but this happens to fail. I've tried F25 but it has not the right kernel to make it (I've read about 4.10 minimum), then tried F26-Alpha-1.7 Live and Rawhide-20170518 Live but none could reach the graphical login. They both boot, some steps take a lot of time and I end up in a state I don't understand but which is not friendly ;-). Here's a link to a rdsosreport.txt file generated using Rawhide, I must admit that I don't know what to do now.. https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/iRx8d~7Luk2TC3bsaDuuT15M1UNdIGYhyRLiv… BTW, I could install and run a Ubuntu 17.10 daily (artful-desktop-amd64-20170519.iso) - wow it starts up pretty quickly - and that gave me hope! Any hint or experience w/ such hardware? Regards, -- wwp
