Hello, I apologise for not replying sooner. There are no backup options available. I would have performed the backup before the upgrade however I didnt have the storage to take a snapshot of a 2TB server. Unfortunately I am not an expert with Linux so I am uncertain how to chmod 777 the appropriate partition. I have another Ubuntu server I could potentially rsync/ssh the permisisons from, however I do not know to to perform an rsync over SSH. It might be simpler to mount the partition in recovery and copy the config files to another server and reinstall Ubuntu over the exisiting installation.

Hello, After a recent upgrade of ownCloud I ran a script to set the permissions. The script was supposed to be this: #!/bin/bash ocpath='/srv/owncloud' htuser='www-data' htgroup='www-data' rootuser='root' # On QNAP this is admin find ${ocpath}/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0640 find ${ocpath}/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0750 chown -R ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/ chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/apps/ chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/config/ chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/data/ chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/themes/ chown ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/.htaccess chown ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/data/.htaccess chmod 0644 ${ocpath}/.htaccess chmod 0644 ${ocpath}/data/.htaccess I pasted the script directly from their website and I missed a portion of the start. #!/bin/bash -- Whole line was missing ocpath='/var/www/owncloud' -- I missed the o at the start of this line so the variable wasnt properly defined. After this script was executed I immediately lost access to su commands and I recieved "Permission denied" when attempting to change directory. I foolishly rebooted the server and now it wont boot. I get the error run-init : /sbin/init: Permission denied It is currently running in a VM.I have been able to access the installation disc and selected Rescue a Broken System. This is the only access I have to the server to try and repair it. Unfortunately I am at a dead end.

Hello, I have been performing server maintenance on our servers this week while that holidays are on. I ran an SFC /scannow and DISM /Online /CLeanup-Image /RestoreHealth on our Windows Servers to identify and damaged system files. A few of our Windows 2012 Standard x64 servers show errors after running SFC /scannow. I have run it a few times and the following error appears every time in the logs: Hashes for file member \??\C:\Windows\SysWOW64\api-ms-win-eventing-provider-l1-1-0.dll do not match actual file [l:78{39}]"api-ms-win-eventing-provider-l1-1-0.dll" : Does anyone have ideas how I can fix this?

Thank you for all of the replys. I forgot to mention that we have OSX and Linux clients as well. That was one of the reasons I didnt I had not considered Microsoft SCEP even though we are licensed for it in our campus agreement. Management asked me why we needed to protect our OSX devices as they were under the illusion that "Macs dont get viruses". I had to explain to them that in reality they can get infested with viruses and malware just like Windows and Android clients.

Hello, I am investigating alternatives for Sophos Endpoint Protection. Our subscription is due to expire next year and I just want to throw it away. Its detection rate certainly isnt the best and its ability to remove detected threats is appauling. Almost all items detected require manual removal and users will not bring in their laptops for cleanup unless I disable their accounts first. A collegue has recommended ESET although I have read some mixed reviews. Symantec and Bitdefender seem like good alternatives. Does anyone use any of these products or can anyone please recommend alternatives?

Hello, I have been asked to research an alternative to our existing proxy and internet filtering software. We are currently using two proxies. The first is a dedicated proxy server running Apache, Squid and Diladele. The second is our pfSense firewall with squid. The first is for student notebooks and workstations and requires users to authenticate. The second is a transparent proxy for our staff. The existing setup has bad reporting and is constantly causing me grief. Just before I walk into work in the morning it must be asking itself "How can I torture the IT guy today?" I didnt create this setup, however I have to deal with this issues it causes every day. I want to just bash it with a sledge hammer, set it on fire, walk away and hope my problems are incinerated with it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a cost effective internet filter/proxy setup that has flexible policies, good reporting and plays nice with BYOD devices? Kind Regards, Luke

When I add http://wpad/wpad.dat in the proxy settings in IE it doesnt work. I believe I added the MIME type in Apache after the reinstallation. Would you mind posting the instructions for me to make sure I did it correctly?

Hello, I use option 252 in DHCP. It is currently set to http://wpad.domain.com/wpad.dat (I substituted .domain.com with the FQDN of the proxy server for the forum) DNS is configured as well. wpad was removed from the blacklist on the dns servers when they were first configured. If I ping wpad, it responds with proxy servers IP Address. When I configure the web browser settings and specify the proxy server manually it works fine. Kind Regards, Luke

I recently updated our internet filter software at our college. We use Diladele Web Safety to filter our internet traffic. This is run on our proxy server running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Apache2, Squid and Django. During the installation I made the mistake of reinstalling Apache2 and Django. Since then none of our workstations or laptops download wpad.dat when they open their web browsers. If I type http://wpad/wpad.dat in the web browser, it can download the wpad file. When the browser is set to automatically detect settings it doesnt work. If I manually enter the proxy settings into the browser it works fine. Unfortunately I cant do this with our laptops since the teachers and students take them home. wpad.dat and proxy.pac are stored in /var/www/html on the proxy server. Any help would be very appreciated. Kind Regards, Luke
