t_marinos, what error message are you getting when that happens? Because I think I had that same problem and it had something to do with unmounting your external and internal hard drives before starting the install.
t_marinos 11th October 2007, 01:01 Quote
Now the error is that cannot install the ext3 and i have to partition the hard drive. I Change my hard disk and i put i bigger one. It continue the installation From Detecting and its stop in the installing.

What is the min require of PC Hardware i need to make the server and run fast and good ?

Can you write down the exact error and post it here. If you do, I'm pretty sure I can help you past this point.

I just encountered a problem after replacing the contents of the proftpd.conf file with the code in the tutorial. When I try to restart the ftp server, I get an error that says " - Fatal: <Directory>: missing arguments on line 98 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'

Any idea what I'm supposed to put there?

Edit:
Ahh, never mind, I figured it out.

My internal hard drive for this set-up is way too small to handle all those incoming downloads, so I hooked up an external hard drive. The path for the drive is /misc/external. I tried to make it writable using "sudo chmod 777 misc/external" and various other combinations going inside misc and doing external alone, etc., but I can't get that directory to be writable. Any ideas?

I also tried going into the file manager and doing it there, but every time I change it to give read and write access it just reverts back to 'none'. Tried searching some forums and still can't figure it out.

Ok, scratch everything. With lots and lots of trouble and figuring things out as I went along (total Linux newbie), I got every possible thing to work with the tutorial, except the VNC. Putty works...I can connect through that and use the CLI, but when I try to connect to the VNC, all I get is "Failed to connect to server". :-(

Tried all the suggestions here, nothin works.

completemadness 11th October 2007, 19:21 Quote
You have to extract the tgz file

You can expand a gzip tar file in one command:

tar -xzvf filename.tgz
Google is your friend

Also, are you sure your network adapter doesnt work?
ifconfig -a
if its there, then ifup ethX (where x is a number)

i know i had this problem where (X)ubuntu didn't autostart the network interface for some reason
t_marinos 11th October 2007, 21:54 Quote
When i write ifconfig -a is writting

Some things and then:

RX packets:1912 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1912 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:152656 (149.0KiB) TX bytes:152656 (149.0KiB)

Then i write : Ifup ethX (What number is X)

tar -xzvf filename.tgz

then there is probably a script in there
./scriptname
or sudo ./scriptname

hopefully there are some install instructions though

I get this error when I try to enter the query to change my passwd:



Error

SQL query:

SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = PASSWORD( <insert password here> )

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '<insert password here too>)' at line 1



Any ideas?
Glider 21st October 2007, 12:53 Quote
Make sure you enter the password string between quotes. It's required
spaggy 21st October 2007, 20:23 Quote
Thanks a lot for trying to help out, but it didn't work :(

Error

SQL query:

SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = PASSWORD( ‘<insert passwd here>’ )

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '‘<insert here>’)' at line 1




It's a different error though, any new ideas?
I'd like to thank you for the guide while I'm at it, extremely useful even though I'm a total newbie :)

EDIT: I think I misunderstood your answer, btw. What do you mean by password string?
completemadness 21st October 2007, 23:40 Quote
SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = PASSWORD( `mypassword` )

I believe - you need to use the backticks (key next to the 1) rather then whatever you used
Glider 22nd October 2007, 07:57 Quote
Double quotes ( " ) should work too IIRC
spaggy 22nd October 2007, 20:51 Quote
Thanks a lot for the help, it worked :)

I get a new error when I try to create the torrentflux in terminal though:

root@spaggy-desktop:~# mysqladmin –u root –p create torrentflux
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

I have made a password, but how do I enter it in here?
completemadness 22nd October 2007, 22:25 Quote
Code:
mysqladmin –u root –pmypassword create torrentflux
