Heya!

Hey, I'm trying to make an automated bash program to detect a line in the /etc/hosts file and remove it. What would be the best way?

never mind :P

Journeyman Geek

02:36

Got clippied?

There is no best way. You'd probably end up using something like sed or awk tho

@CanadianLuke You do know, MS contributes drivers and patches to linux now too

And its still open source.

Chances are they'll semi-fork it to work better in windows, use it for config management (since MS' config management product will support linux soon), and hopefully contribute $$ to openssh development

Q: "There is no subdomain here." error in creating (one/multi)-level sub-domains

Objective: I want to create multilevel sub-domains. For example, I've a domain like "domain.com," and now I want to create some sub-domains for it. It should be noted that what I'm working on it, belongs to a company and that company has a Shared IP not a Dedicated IP. Creating Sub-domain Au...

@HackToHell Couldn't outlook do that in like 2007? Cept it was mostly turned off due to 'security' ? (and saving the file would tell you it was in c:\temp\tmp\somedir\letters.profile\blahrughserersaseaefilename.xls)

Bob

@JourneymanGeek I use pocket and I still don't want it to be integrated into the browser :S

that's just weird

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: I've got my own wallabag install and I quite like it

HackToHell

08:44

@djsmiley2k No idea

Journeyman Geek

09:00

@Bob: It is. and I'm running my own wallabag instance anyway and it does the same thing

Bob

10:35

@JourneymanGeek I got a hi-tecpoint

it's got a cartridge inside (looks like)

but how do I open it

Journeyman Geek

Sure its the refillable one? ;p

penaddict.com/blog/2015/2/5/…

Looks like you unscrew the body

djsmiley2k

They're refillable?! :O

I love those pens, they so cheap I normally just buy a new one tho

Cartridge System

Oh, they aren't normally the cartridge ones.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek It's not :P

It's the grip version

I can pull the tip and feed out with pliers, though

then it refills like an eyedropper (vpen) :P

=> youtube.com/watch?v=-_QbkoL-lK4

Journeyman Geek

That's messy tho

heh, the vpen is basically the FP version of the techpoint ;p

Bob

@JourneymanGeek the colour of my hands attests to that

I accidentally poured out half the ink :P

Journeyman Geek

10:42

;p

This is why I do these things over a filled sink

Bob

@JourneymanGeek that's why I keep a bottle of isoprop nearby

my desk is back to its usual colour now

djsmiley2k

filled sink?

Oh, as to not stain the sink itself?

Journeyman Geek

yup

and immediate dilute the mess

Bob

...I can get blue and green off ebay

no black :(

Journeyman Geek

Tempted to see if Popular has em ;p

(bookstore chain famous for their selection of textbooks. And their stationary section isn't half bad)

Bob

10:52

@JourneymanGeek if you manage to find some - how much would it cost to ship a couple over here? :P

Journeyman Geek

No idea, but prolly not that much

Heh

I miss english weather ;p

(tho not winter. Might have been better if it snowed, but as someone born in the tropics, wildly changing sunrises and sunsets was a shock)

Bob

because reasons?

they don't want to accidentally overwrite null?

who knows?

Oliver Salzburg

I have no idea what this category nonsense is, but i'd guess the view menu has what you need.

I can't check as I'm on OSX at work

Journeyman Geek

13:34

@slhck's answer sounds sensible

MRS1367

Hey @TomWijsman

Tom Wijsman

If your question is that long, you need to find yourself another hosting with another panel.

djsmiley2k

Anyone got any amazing tips on managing to be alive iwth a 1yr old?

She's either teething or got a cold atm, so no sleep for me

barlop

slhk did it. wasn't the view menu.

MRS1367

@TomWijsman did you see my question?

barlop

13:45

was 'group by'.

Tom Wijsman

@MRS1367 No, I'm assuming it to be long. Of course I did.

MRS1367

@TomWijsman -> you said me ask a question about it

and I tried to offer all what I did

I got some clues

but they didn't help me

it's not for me

barlop

@MRS1367 now you asked, somebody may answer. and you can always ask elsewhere and ask others

MRS1367

it's for a company

Tom Wijsman

No, I didn't.

May 31 at 15:16, by Tom Wijsman

Not sure if I will know the answer to it.

MRS1367

13:48

and they don't want to change it

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k survive a year. Then worry about a rampaging toddler

djsmiley2k

she'll sleep more then haha

she normally sleeps really well, maybe that's why if affects me so much

MRS1367

@TomWijsman do u know about Virtual Pointers?

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k weregeek.com/2015/06/02

Tom Wijsman

@MRS1367 Those are two words made up by the panel developers which could mean anything.

djsmiley2k

13:50

she's slept through from 6 weeks

tho from week 3 to week 4 we were in hospital and that seems to be why

MRS1367

adding sub-domains just by DNS Records in my situation, didn't work

Tom Wijsman

@MRS1367 You need to tell your company that it is impossible with the panel; or spent the work doing more figuring out, but you're unlikely to find your answer with a long question and neither do I know.

MRS1367

@TomWijsman can I say something?

@TomWijsman Thank you for your advice :)

it's weird

Tom Wijsman

@MRS1367 It's supposed to work, there is the problem. In my world I would call this panel broken by design.

Similarly...

yesterday, by allquixotic

if it were me, I'd stop using PHP; and if my job required it, I'd find a new job

:D

MRS1367

Because when I try to create a one-level sub-domain by DNS records, it doesn't work too

I've said about it to them

and they said it should has a way to do that

I only can create sub-domains just by creating a Pointer!!!

and I don't know what's this!!!

@TomWijsman When I ping my created miltilevel sub-domains by DNS Records

I'll get the correct result

Tom Wijsman

13:59

Then it sounds like IIS is the problem.

MRS1367

I found this in the Hosting Provider web pages:

> Since creating sub-domain via WSP Control Panel (CP) in the P6 and above host plans causes wasting of your plan resources, each sub-domain is considered as a Hosted Domain. Therefore, you can use Virtual Sub-domains (that is supported by URL Rewrite feature in IIS 7 and later) in your plan for prevent this and also take advantage of the sub-domains.

each sub-domain is considered as a Hosted Domain

you can use Virtual Sub-domains (that is supported by URL Rewrite feature in IIS 7 and later)

Tom Wijsman

Yeah, but not necessarily subsubdomains.

It depends again on what "virtual subdomains in your plan" means.

These words are just words, not fully defined specifications.

MRS1367

@TomWijsman so, when I can ping my created multilevel sub-domains that haven't created by that Pointers

and I receive just “There is no subdomain here.” error message when I want to access them

can I redirect them to another address?

and then rewrite the URL after redirecting for displaying the multilevel address?

djsmiley2k

I feel liek I've missed something.

/me translates virtual pointers as CNAME

lets rename stuff for lols

Best way is to create one, then query the dns and see what it ACTUALLY is.

MRS1367

@djsmiley2k you mean I create a CNAME for my multilevel sub-domain that I've created by DNS Records?

@djsmiley2k First, thank you to try help me mate

djsmiley2k

14:08

@MRS1367 I'm saying I guess virtual pointers are actually just CNAME's with a stupid name.

MRS1367

Thank you and @TomWijsman

MRS1367

I've described all things that I've done

djsmiley2k

14:16

yeah, that's good

maybe a link to the english instructions websitepanel.net/documentation/users-guide/domains

You could use a sub-domain to create a new web site, but you cannot create another sub-domain based on it.

Boom, can't be done

documentation says so

MRS1367

@djsmiley2k Why?!!!!!

djsmiley2k

Ask the websitepanel makers :<

MRS1367

I see this in my Host Provider web pages:

@djsmiley2k So, one question...

djsmiley2k

sure?

Does it let you publish a subsubdomain via the DNS?

MRS1367

Since I can ping the created sub-domain manually (via DNS Zone Records)

16 mins ago, by MRS1367

and I receive just “There is no subdomain here.” error message when I want to access them

and then rewrite the URL after redirecting for displaying the multilevel address?

@djsmiley2k -> yes

djsmiley2k

14:20

k then

MRS1367

djsmiley2k

z.y.x.com CNAME zy.x.com

yeah i read all of that already.

MRS1367

@djsmiley2k aha

Sorry

djsmiley2k

no problem

MRS1367

@djsmiley2k wait

djsmiley2k

14:22

have you tried what I just suggested wit hthe CNAME to a normal subdomain?

I.... think so.

the CNAME gets followed before the server is reached

MRS1367

I check it now

djsmiley2k

So the IIS shouldn't give you the 'unknown' issue.

MRS1367

@djsmiley2k Adding CNAME to the DNS Zone Records

will get time to register in DNS Server?

I added a CNAME record for redirecting to the related location

but for now, I get the same message

djsmiley2k

and that location is just 1 subdomain deep?

MRS1367

@djsmiley2k -> yes

djsmiley2k

14:28

what does a nslookup on the subsub domain return?

MRS1367

lemme check

djsmiley2k

should return the single subdomain

MRS1367

I get this for one-level sub-domain that I've created by DNS Zone Records not by Add Pointer

Server:  recursive2.dci.ir
Address:  217.218.155.155

*** recursive2.dci.ir can't find test.domain.com: Server failed

djsmiley2k

then it's not actually adding them :/

MRS1367

and I get this one for two-level sub-domain

Server:  recursive2.dci.ir
Address:  217.218.155.155

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    test1.test.domain.com
Address:  185.10.72.200

djsmiley2k

14:32

hmmm

that's not a CNAME tho,

MRS1367

and I get this one for a one-level sub-domain created with Add Pointer

Server:  recursive2.dci.ir
Address:  217.218.155.155

*** recursive2.dci.ir can't find example.domain.com: Server failed

djsmiley2k

how did you add the 2 level domain one?

As that seem to be the only way that's actually working.

MRS1367

you mean how I've added the test in the test1.test?

djsmiley2k

how you got that registered, yes

MRS1367

@djsmiley2k I've added the first one (test) by DNS Zone Records

test    A    SelectedDomainIP

@djsmiley2k have you find any clue?

djsmiley2k

14:43

how did you get test1.test working then? ;/

MRS1367

@djsmiley2k -> I don't know!!! :|

djsmiley2k

test1      CNAME          test.SelectedDomain.blah

?

it just works by default?

MRS1367

@djsmiley2k I've added this for that:

djsmiley2k

iright I've gotta go home

I'll take another look later.

MRS1367

test1.test    CNAME    domain.com/test/test1

@djsmiley2k Thank you a lot mate

Tom Wijsman

15:16

@djsmiley2k Yeah, renaming things to universal concepts could help.

Oliver Salzburg

Woah, that's probably the longest question I've ever seen

Tom Wijsman

@MRS1367 Please note that the chat is indexed by search engines. Since I see you blurring things out there but not here.

MRS1367

@TomWijsman Thank you for your advice

@OliverSalzburg :)

@TomWijsman I think find a clue to finalize the question ad reach the answer

can I ask a question if you have time now?

Oliver Salzburg

All of this for creating a simple subdomain?

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg yep

Tom Wijsman

15:20

From what I understood, subsubdomains.

@MRS1367 I never have time; so, ask anyway. Others here know server stuff too anyway...

MRS1367

When the URL Redirect and Rewrite will execute?

For example if I type something like this:

test.domain.com

Tom Wijsman

it'll ask DNS where server is, DNS will answer with IP of server, your browser will request page from the server over HTTP protocol, IIS will process the request

MRS1367

When the URL Rewrite and Redirect Rules declared in IIS will execute?

@TomWijsman -> so, I can't do that with ant method :(

because I found this:

Tom Wijsman

In part of that request process, IIS will evaluate the requested hostname and URL and use the URL Redirect and Rewrite filter.

That filter then can determine which folder IIS needs to access to get the page to answer to the request.

MRS1367

I can't add CNAME and A records with the same name in my DNS Zone Records page

Oliver Salzburg

15:26

@MRS1367 Of course not :D

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg -> so, I can't do that anyway

and I only can add one-level sub-domain

Oliver Salzburg

Right. And why would you?

MRS1367

only with Add Pointer

@OliverSalzburg to register a new sub-domain manually (for registering multilevel sub-domains)

and then redirect them to the related location

because the WebsitePanel doesn't allow add multilevel dub-domains

and only allow adding one-level sub-domains just only with Add Pointer web page in its CP

I need to create (two/three)-level sub-domains

Oliver Salzburg

How many webservers do you have?

MRS1367

and I can't do that :(

@OliverSalzburg two

Oliver Salzburg

15:31

That sounds like a trivial DNS setup to me

MRS1367

I can't understand the Virtual Pointer

what it does exactly?

Oliver Salzburg

No idea what that's supposed to mean

MRS1367

why WebsitePanel developers prevent from adding multilevel sub-domains?!!!

Oliver Salzburg

But, unless, in your multi-level domain setup, you need to vary a lot between your two servers, you've overcomplicating your setup

@OliverSalzburg -> nope

I want to create multilevel for one webserver

Oliver Salzburg

15:33

When you set up an A record for test.domain.com, all requests to test.domain.com and a.test.domain.com and b.test.domain.com are sent to the same server

There is no need to set up any deeper levels

MRS1367

I know that

but it doesn't work

because:

websitepanel.net/documentation/users-guide/domains/…

> You could use a sub-domain to create a new web site, but you cannot create another sub-domain based on it. Sub-domain cannot be added as a pointer to some web site.

I found this in my Host Provider web pages too:

> each sub-domain is considered as a Hosted Domain

> Therefore, you can use Virtual Sub-domains (that is supported by URL Rewrite feature in IIS 7 and later)

Oliver Salzburg

Er, wait, scratch the previous statement, I was confused ;D

MRS1367

Virtual Sub-domains I can't understand this statements!!!!

Virtual Pointer and Virtual Sub-domains!!!

Oliver Salzburg

You could create a * A record to send requests to any subdomain to your webserver

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg but it doesn't work too

Oliver Salzburg

15:37

I guess they're referring to exactly that, you create a * record to send all requests to your IIS, then you set up virtual domains in IIS.

MRS1367

if I add any sub-domain via DNS Records manually

it doesn't work

and it will work via Add Pointer web page

and only for one-level sub-domains

jeffery

Hello

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg can u explain more

Oliver Salzburg

@MRS1367 Create a new record, Type: A, Name: *, IP: your server

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg I have it in my DNS Records

Oliver Salzburg

15:40

This should make it so that any subdomain, no matter how deeply nested, should be directed to your server

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg so, you mean I can add test1.test too?

Oliver Salzburg

@MRS1367 You won't need to do that if you have a * entry

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg but I've read that if I want to refer to multilevel sub-domains

we must related * wildcard in the DNS Zone Records

for example for two-level sub-domains:

*.*

Oliver Salzburg

@MRS1367 That is not required

MRS1367

and can't add nested sub-domains by * wildcard

@OliverSalzburg - so, I can do that via IIS?

I mean this method:

Oliver Salzburg

15:43

@MRS1367 Yes

visualwin.com/Host-Header

That is what you need to do in IIS

MRS1367

please check the "Wildcard DNS -> Creating a sub-domain by programming:" section in my question

Oliver Salzburg

You don't need programming. You only tell IIS which virtual website to direct the request to, based on the HTTP HOST header that is sent by the client

That header will contain the full domain the client used to contact the server

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg lemme check

lemme say that

it's not on the company web servers

it has been hosted on a host provider company servers

and I worked with it via Remote IIS

Oliver Salzburg

@MRS1367 The process should still be the same

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg so, wait, lemem check

@OliverSalzburg -> I'm following the instructions in that web page you mentioned above

Oliver Salzburg

15:51

That is a more recent screenshot of the new IIS manager

MRS1367

But the "Properties" option isn't exist for Remote IIS websites

Oliver Salzburg

@MRS1367 On the left side you have the Connections panel and it shows the name of the server you're connected to, which has an item named "Sites" in the tree, right?

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg wait

@OliverSalzburg I don't have any Sites folder in there

Oliver Salzburg

Okay, the globe symbol mean it's a site

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg aha

Oliver Salzburg

15:59

When you right-click the server, the icon above the site, do you get a Add Web Site... option?

MRS1367

I think you mean the Sites folder in the local websites

sorry

@OliverSalzburg yep

I know the other things

Oliver Salzburg

@MRS1367 That should allow you to set up a new site, based on the host name, which I explained earlier

MRS1367

I think that I must do it on the website that I connected to it via Remote IIS

@OliverSalzburg So, can I ask another question?

Oliver Salzburg

Sure

MRS1367

when I deploy another website for example for test1.test.example.com

How the end-users will access to it

Sorry

Since I'm newbie to some of the concepts

Oliver Salzburg

16:04

What do you mean exactly?

MRS1367

I mean the end-users have access to the website on the Host Provider not my local web server

Oliver Salzburg

Yeah...

They type the URL into their browser address bar and that's how they get to it

MRS1367

so, how they can get access to what I created on my local web server?

lemme explain it

I've created it via what you said

test1.test.example.com

on my local webserver

Oliver Salzburg

Well, it won't do you any good on your local webserver

You need to do it on the hosted server by your provider

MRS1367

@OliverSalzburg aha

on that server

I got it finally

It can be done on dedicated servers not shared servers and I got it

@OliverSalzburg Just add the answer and I'll accept it

Oliver Salzburg

16:09

Okay :)

I need a simple logo help file example that applies to the TechNet article and have tried a few things but a woman keeps wanting to bicker with me on the post and I am still a little new to this. superuser.com/questions/923541/…

@MichaelFrank Its simple the registry picture has a path to a logo picture which is 145*80 like the article says. In additions, it needs to be transparent? I am thinking about making a post about this on Microsoft's MSDN wiki and posting a blog article on it if I get it working. I think I will even make a tutorial on code project about how to automate this process and explain how to make a simple help file.

It seems simple but the process is very picky in windows from what I can see.
