Good morning all. My web server is now running on Raspbian 10 (Buster) which uses Apache v2.4.38. The Pi which I am using is issue 2 which has run three virtual hosts since 2013 very reliably indeed, serving many hundreds of thousands of hits along with about 50odd-Gbyte of data, annually. I now hav...

I do indeed keep a detailed account of how a particular server is configured. This is quite important for the domain controller/file server, as it in...

Thanks again, fruitoftheloom. The sources.list etc is now updated and amendments duly noted. I can't disagree that it would be ideal to upgrade to the current OS - I already have Buster on one of my Pi's 4. But I've got several other new projects underwayand rebuilding those two servers would take m...

Thanks, fruitoftheloom ...

... actually I did see that, but I still encountered some 404 errors after applying that modification. So I am wondering whether there are more adjustments to make.

Thanks!

Good morning all. I have about 8 Raspberries Pi in all, ranging from two originals from 2011(?) to two Pi 4s 4GB. One of my Pi's 2 serves as a very busy webserver (three sites) and the second Pi 2 acts as a pseudo domain controller and file server for my local area network. These two little gems rep...

I have just updated one of my RPi machines after several years of good running, from Debian Squeeze to Raspbian Buster. After installation I changed the default boot to command line rather than GUI Desktop as I need to do lots of configuration at this stage. However, I find that I have to sudo to ge...

OK: thanks for the comments. Nevertheless I now have working Raspberry Pis 2, whereas prior to taking the actions described, I didn't. In any case one of the advantages of a device like a Raspberry Pi is that during initial setting up it is very easy to go right back to the beginning without serious...

Greetings all ... ... like many others I have been having a bit of trouble getting my new Raspberry Pis 2 going. I have six Pis altogether, 2 x 256MB, 2 x 512 MB model B(+), and now 2 x Raspberry Pi 2 B. My first Pis date back to the very very first ones that were delivered, quite a few years ago. T...

Scroll to the bottom of https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md Thanks Dougie. I've seen that document. Just trying not to have to re-invent the wheel, somewhere I saw a very neat config.txt file that some kindly person had put together. I wish I had acquired it at the...

Greetings all ... ... I remember seeing a config.txt file displayed somewhere which detected the model of Pi (256Mb/512mB/1Gb), and by serial number allowed the application of the correct GPU licences. But now I cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone perchance know where this file is? Thanks in advanc...

OK OK - it is solved now! I couldn't find a duplicated name in the SAMBA/LDAP configurations but I did find a spelling error in one of the Group Lists. Funny that the error message was a bit misleading, as one wouldn't usually call an omission a duplication, but that's computing for you! All the bes...

Thanks for the replies, Beta & MG. 1. Yes, SMB1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support is definitely enabled. 2. And, MG, thanks: yes I have had my network in action in all its forms since 1994! And every machine has a standard set of users, and they are all configured for SAMBA (et al). And they all function ...

Greetings all. I have used one of my Raspberries Pi for years now as a file server, and highly successful it has been, having saved me alot of cash on electricty compared to my old Windows 2003 server. I recently acquired a Windows 8.1 tablet, and have pulled all my hair out (haven't any really) try...

Greetings all ... For sometime now I have been meaning to ask about an iPlayer update. This is on my mind because, whilst the iTV player etc seem to work, the iPlayer does not work, and has the following issues: - it will not play any TV, although it will play all radio porgrammes as far as I can se...

Hello again, PR ... Regarding the "oursites.conf" file and the missing "common" keyword ... I have checked my working version of the equivalent of the "oursites.conf" file listed in my Web Server paper, and, as I expected, I don't have the parameter keyword "common" in the line mentioned. So I have ...

kaspencer

Thanks Pr ... There are indeed restrictions on the characters that can be included in a hostname, and I am not surprised that the underline character might have been part of the problem, as well as the length. All that is made more obscure when the error trapping and reporting aren't always perfect!...

Hello PR ... Sorry to hear of your errors on startup after attempting configuration of your Rasperry Pi. I think that some of the errors are closely related. 1. The hostname.sh error Check that you have put a valid hostname in a valid form into /etc/hostname. I have heard of a bug in Debian which ca...

Thanks again, Aydan ... I have Class 4, 6 and 10 cards ranging in size from 4GB to 128GB and they all have their tendency to corrupt. My solution is to have two cards always available for each of my three functional Raspberrys Pi. (One of my Pis is spare anyway and only used for investigations and p...

Hello Aydan and thanks for the comment. I am reluctant to use fstrim in view of this: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=39864&p=327161 How relevant do you see this? Then I would add that some cards seem to be better than others in my various Raspberrys Pi. And then again some OS vari...

kaspencer

The thing is, Ed, that corruption is difficult to predict. You may have to wait weeks before the dreaded errors will appear, and stop your Raspberry Pi dead in its tracks.

You may be misled into a false sense of security in a 7-day only judgement.

Hello again, Siegmund ... Just as a follow up to your previous post - I have now corrected the four typographical errors which you reported. Apologies for them! As regards the dnssec directives: I have not yet been able to see errors in connection with those, and I am still investigating whether I h...

This is actually a very important topic. Especially, if (although probably not intended) people begin to use Raspberies Pi for serious applications. I have posted several times elsewhere that I have 4 Raspberries Pi, and that three of them are being used for "serious" purposes. In my case, one is a ...

Thanks for the comments Siegmund ...

I will have a look at the things you have mentioned when I am back in my office ...

Thanks for all the comments everyone. First, Terry & Bob - thanks for the further comments about FTP and sFTP - I may well add something into the tutorial regarding that. But let me repeat: the FTP port is not open in my router's firewall for incoming data from the WAN - FTP is only used on the LAN....
