Build your own server: Part 2

you can set a Static IP in any operating system

More recent DHCP servers do offer the feature, you could allways use DD-WRT (custom firmware) or something (which offers this feature)

why, i was gonna do 106...

thought about flashing the firmware on the router. i don't really have time to screw with it now though. I just want to move this server to the basement so its not a million degrees in my room.

You can assign any number below 254 (in theory). However 0 and 1 are reserved already. So no problem with 106, mine has 200.

Your routers DHCP server assigns addresses from 100 to 254 so if your going to use a fixed you don't want the router to start also assigning that address to an other device... that would be a nightmare to diagnose.

source: one of many.

My router starts assigning IP adresses at 100, but it is set to only allow 50 IP adresses to be assigned at one time.

it would be a good idea for you to assing <100 then, Because the IP's are assigned randomly, the one you have chosen could be assigned and cause you unforseen problems

Best to just avoid the problem if possible ;)

I know, but when it says 50 IP adresses it is adresses from 100-150 :D and it assigns based on mac adress starting at 100, then 101, 102 and so forth

not neccisarily

Im my experience its pretty random, just picking a number from the range

phpmyadmin isn't showing up in apache. I've installed every thing but it's not working.

Can you post the output of

sudo ls -al /var/www/*

Here ya go

travis@xubuntu-server:~$ sudo ls -al /var/www/*

I just noticed that there is a "MySQL Administrator" and "MySQL Query Browser" in the Applications/Development menu.

Well, PHPMyAdmin doesn't seem to be installed. Reinstall it through synaptics.

This is what I get In the Details once synaptic is done (re)installing.

Does the phpmyadmin page show up under /var/www/?

nope

if you have no other website things/changes

sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 phpmyadmin

then re-install them

sudo apt-get install apache2 phpmyadmin

or

sudo aptitude install apache2 phpmyadmin

What do I do here?

Select Apache2

EDIT: you can recall that by doing

sudo dpkg --reconfigure phpmyadmin

It's still not showing up.

phpmyadmin does not show up in apache on mine either, but just type in http://###.###.###.###/phpmyadmin/, or with ssl and tunneling http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

Thanks. I can get to it but isn't in /var/www/

That is because in the latest version of xubuntu phpmyadmin is not places in /var/www/ instead it uses a alias. In theory it gives the same function, only phpmyadmin does not show up if you have no index page in root :D

I don't know if this issue has been addressed by a previous post but I couldn't find anything related after scrolling through the messages.

I've been using PuTTY and UltraVNC Viewer without any issues for a couple of months now. The only glitch I suffer from is when my Xubuntu box goes headless and I try connecting to it from other computers. UVNC viewer cannot seem to resolve the correct resolution from my Xubuntu box and keeps giving me only 640x480 (or the like).

One thing I've noticed is that when I temporarily attach a monitor to my Xubuntu box, UVNC viewer then defaults to the correct resolution. After the Xubuntu box reboots, however, the screen resolution glitch comes back.

I've tried newer versions of UltraVNC Viewer to no effect. Anyone have the same issues and/or have tips for this problem? Thanks and cheers!

It sounds like it is not a problem related to your UltraVNC client. I think it might be a problem related to your Xubuntu box. I think you should check the settings for displays on your box.
