Grrr! >:( Did that and i get the same error in the vnc viewer 'Failed to connect to server'

Glider 27th August 2007, 09:55

Weird, but no worries, time to bring out the debugging info...

Can you post the output of:

Code:

sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -d -p 12345

(if it doesn't stop, just exit it with "<ctrl> + c" when it stops working.)

EDIT: for the VNC server, is X started, and are you trying to start it as a regular user (so not with sudo or after a "sudo su")?

yehoshua.number23 27th August 2007, 10:24

sshd version OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-8ubuntu1

I'm getting that error message in XP when i try to access my server using UltraVNC (sorry should've explained better)

Glider 27th August 2007, 10:28

Ok... That means it works... :s

Try individually stopping and starting the server...

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start

I'm starting to get the feeling there's something wrong with your init script.

yehoshua.number23 27th August 2007, 10:36

Okay .. So now it says '[ok]' instead of '[fail]' but when i try to access my server from my XP laptop it using the UltraVNC Viewer it still can't connect

completemadness 27th August 2007, 11:50

but does putty work ?

if putty works, then you do "sharex11vnc" and ultravnc should work

Glider 27th August 2007, 12:23

Yeah, now you have a running SSH server, and you can remotely log in through SSH, you still need to start the VNC server, like completemadness said.

yehoshua.number23 28th August 2007, 12:33

Ok, both SSH and VNC are running on my server.

Both PuTTy and UltraVNC aren't connecting. PuTTy says 'Network error: Connection refused' and UltraVNC says 'Failed to connect to server!'. I, like most, have an internet connection through a router and am wondering if the IP i'm entering is wrong. I enter in the only IP that the 'ifconfig' command gives me that PuTTy doesn't say 'IP doesn't exist' to (127.0.0.1).

Does this sound right?

Also, a little off topic but i noticed whenever i use terminal i have to log back in and select 'failsafe terminal' from the sessions where as in the tutorial the screen shots show terminal in a window on top of the Xubuntu desktop. Normal?

Glider 28th August 2007, 13:09

You are still behind the router (LAN) so that shouldn't matter.

You however shouldn't be connecting to 127.0.0.1 from an other PC, because that is the localhost adress (so localhost on the other pc = the other pc).

do

Code:

sudo ifconfig | grep 192

That should give you the correct IP adress.

its in like applications -> (first menu) -> terminal

you dont need to relog to get the terminal ;)

yehoshua.number23 29th August 2007, 05:19

Yes i realize where terminal is, but when I click on it the screen flicks black, some stuff comes up then I'm being taken back to the login screen and to use terminal i have to select failsafe terminal from the sessions otherwise it just logs me back in to the desktop with nothing.

When i do 'ifconfig' the only IP's it gives me are 'inet addr: 127.0.0.1', 'inet addr:169.254.8.207' and 'Bcast: 169.254.255.255' although there is a bit of the resultant 'ifconfig' that gets cut off at the top because the failsafe terminal window is too small and i can't seem to scroll up.

yehoshua.number23 29th August 2007, 05:27

Ok so i tried with PuTTy again just now with the IP '169.254.8.207' and instead of the connection refused error i get a 'Connection timed out' error, better? Worse? More helpful? :?

ajsd34 29th August 2007, 14:43

I am a noob and need some help. I have everything working except for the Torrentflux part. I keep receiving this message:

PARSE error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting '(' in /var/www/tf/config.php on line 36

Please help

Glider 29th August 2007, 15:36

Can you copy/paste line 36 of the config (and some before and after?)

That sounds like a public IP address ?

is this computer in a DMZ zone, or do you not actually use a router ?

Should be:

Code:

$cfg["db_pass"] = "basher";            // password for database

On one line ;)

No its not in a DMZ and yes I actually use a router :'(

Like i said in my previous reply, those are the only IPs i get given and the public is the only one that isn't refused. However, i think more information is being cutoff at the top in the failsafe terminal, as that's the only terminal that seems to work.

yehoshua.number23 30th August 2007, 05:12

Oh f**ks sake don't worry it was a complete blonde moment. Sorted :D Thanks anyways guys

yehoshua.number23 30th August 2007, 12:26
