I say we take off, and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Re-creating conf files in debian or “How I ‘apt-get remove –purge apache2′d and broke my server”

2008 August 29

The reason you have to use
dpkg –force-confmiss is because whenever your config files (<conffiles>) are gone, dpkg
assumes you deleted them on purpose, and that you want them to stay deleted. You can also
reinstall them using the following apt-get line: apt-get -o
DPkg::Options::=”–force-confmiss” –reinstall install <packagename>; or using aptitude,
aptitude -o DPkg::Options::=”–force-confmiss” reinstall <packagename>;

cPanel’s easyapache scripts are the only way to fly (or all bets are off, you wanna play go build a debian server).

hellahella doesn’t like python2.5

So set the systemwide python to be python2.4.

This is a note to self when everything else breaks from using the old version.

cd /usr/bin
sudo rm python
sudo ln -s python2.4 ./python

EDIT: That fraked all sorts of things. Looks like hellanzb from the cli for now.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

So new house only has phone line in the kitchen. Solution: WDS using Tomato of course.

So now I have one wrt54g connecting to the net in PPPOE Bridge mode with a billion modem (meh, average modems).

And one wrt54g in my office that acts as an extension of the main one. So plug that into a switch and all the computers here in the office can connect via ethernet.

One more for the lounge and the movie/music server and I’m sorted.
