I am trying to solve this issue: PWC6345: There is an error in invoking javac. A full JDK (not just JRE) is required We have a third-party Java app that uses a Jetty server but looks like either the JDK is missing or not reachable where it is located? In /usr/bin I see: java javaws jexec No javac so probably no JDK installed. The box is Debian “Squeeze” with the following: java -version java version [...]

I have the problem that sshd somehow ignores a match block. The configuration of sshd is kind of basic. You can find it here: http://pastebin.com/bNUYhQnx My goal is that every user except root should only be able to login with pubkey authentication. But even with the configuration mentioned above I’m still able to login with a user which is not root only with a password. Version of sshd is: OpenSSH_5.5p1 Debian-6+squeeze2, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun [...]

I have a LAMP server where logrotate does its job once per week, and I notice some logs tend to get quite large. For example, the apache access-log is 73MB. Is it better that I tell logrotate to rotate it daily? Does size matter for the performance (cpu load) or are we talking marginal differences (daily vs weekly rotation)? The file system is ext3. Asked by charly gordon I’ve never seen any apache webserver whose [...]

I am running an ISPConfig3 server with Lenny which I want to upgrade the Squeeze, however… I am not at the terminal and the server is in my server-hall. Can I upgrade Lenny to Squeeze over SSH? I checked the update list and both openssh-client & openssh-server are being kept back… however, I feel unsure to if I can and should proceed. This is what apt-get shows me when running apt-get upgrade: The following packages [...]

I have added 2 lines in /etc/security/limits.confmyuser soft nofile 16384 myuser hard nofile 16384 …which has no effect: su – sysctl -p su myuser ulimit -n 1024 It is important that this comes into effect without the user having to log in first, i.e. as root I start a script on his behalf. Asked by recalcitrant Add this to /etc/security/limits.conf: * soft nofile 16384 * hard nofile 16384 And add something like this to /etc/profile [...]

Why Debian Squeeze repositories points to cURL version 7.21.0 which is from June 2010 and not the version 7.26.0 which is from May of this year(cURL Changelog)??

Asked by PlxDontVoteMeDown Debian 6.0 (squeeze) was released in 2011, so it can not come with [...]

I am using debian squeeze with PostgreSQL 9.1 from backports. Puppet has version 2.7.14. Unfortunatly the init script returns the wrong exit code for status. Therefore I wrote a custom status command to detect whether postgresql is running or not. service { ‘postgresql’: ensure => running, enable => true, hasstatus => false, hasrestart => true, status => “pg_lsclusters -h | awk ‘BEGIN {rc=0} {if ($4 != \”online\”) rc=3} END { exit rc }’”, provider => [...]
