This is what i get when i try to set up an Exchange 2007 mailbox on outlook 2007 using autodisover….
This is pretty much simple for most people, however i tend to wipe the howto from my memory each time i reinstall pidgin.
so heres the basic setup (this does not include signing up your gtalk account)
Procotol: XMPP/Gtalk
Username: Dennis
Domain: annoying.dk
Resource: Empty
Password: mypassword (god,love,sex…)
Local alias (nickname)
Under Advance, keep it simple.
No checkmarks required in the first 3 boxes.
Connect port: 5222
Connect server: talk.google.com
Even through im a shitty scripter and my scripts can make people tear their eyes out, i usually make it stable and problem-free.
the funny thing was that it was actually working great, running it from the shell. but setting it up in crontab – it just didnt run the script fully.
So, a few weeks ago i had a system crash again. this time i finally got some decent errors that could turn it into a RMA case and get it replaces. since i couldnt wait for the new disk
i decided to use an old disk.
Its been a while since i last reinstalled my server, but my system disk took the decision for me (sounding my gf when she sings..) so i repaced it with a new disk.
after installing everything, i had to download the rocketraid drivers for my raid controller and compile it, which went like this..
When playing with MSS (shared user database with glftpd) and trying to sync…
After a system crash, i decided to install the new version of Ubuntu server 8.10, everything went fine with the installation and so on.
When running the Service Pack 1 setup for Exchange 2007, you might get
Exchange Server component Client Access Role failed.
Error: Error:
Unable to create Internet Information Services (IIS) directory entry. Error message is: The system cannot find the path specified.
. HResult = -2147024893.The system cannot find the path specified.
if you use glftpd as ftp server, you might run into
user@server:/# ftp localhost 12345
Connected to localhost.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
If theres one thing i hate, its error messages that says absolutly nothing usefull, like this one.
i had ensured that my exports list was correctly set up, actually, i had it tested from my tvix (was able to browse the share) but from another nix server, i got this message.
