Topic: affa vs backup pc vs dungog rsync backup

[Stefano]

well, if so:

- create a db dump (hint: mysqldump)
- create a compressed tar.gz file (hint1: tar, hint2: use YYYYMMDD_backup.tar.gz name)
- use scp to push files to your server and send an email when done.
- use google's client to push the file on remote gdrive and keep last N backup (optional: send an email when done; warning: gdrive doesn't erase deleted file, it's up to you)

TAH-DAH!!!

ReetP, Stefano, thank you guys. really appreciated

in my " /usr/bin/ " folder i have two file links and one physical file
links " /usr/bin/unison, /usr/bin/unison-2.40 " and a " file " /usr/bin/unison-gtk-2.40 "

file link " /usr/bin/unison > /etc/alternatives/unison "
file link " /usr/bin/unison-2.40 > usr/bin/unison-gtk-2.40 "

the file link in " /etc/alternatives/unison " points to " /usr/bin/unison-gtk-2.40 "

not sure if my terminology makes sense

is this how it should be?

ReetP
" Scripts - wherever you choose " Where do you recommend i place the scripts in your opinion, create a scripts folder?

thanks again guys 

[ReetP]

You seem to have installed the graphical version.....

Should look like this:

[root@server ~]# rpm -qa |grep unison
unison240-text-2.40.102-5.el6.x86_64
unison240-2.40.102-5.el6.x86_64

Have a look, and remove the gtk version.....

Scripts - /usr/bin ? That's where the dehydrated scripts go.

[Bud]

ReetP thank you for your input

this is what it shows
# rpm -qa |grep unison
unison240-2.40.102-5.el6.x86_64
unison240-gtk-2.40.102-5.el6.x86_64

when i do
# yum remove unison
unison is uninstalled

when i do
# yum --enablerepo=epel install unison240
it installs unison however when i again do
# rpm -qa |grep unison
unison240-2.40.102-5.el6.x86_64
unison240-gtk-2.40.102-5.el6.x86_64

how do i install " unison240-text-2.40.102-5.el6.x86_64 " ?

sorry for the noob questions 

[janet]

Bud

You installed it already. Check with
rpm -q unison

[Bud]

so is that correct ?

[ReetP]

No, you still have the graphical rpm installed as per my previous post.

I showed you how it should look when it you have it correctly installed. unison240-gtk is the graphical front end and you do not need it.

Remove unison240-gtk

Install unison240-text

You may have to do

Code: [Select]

yum remove unison240-gtk unison240
That will probably remove 'unison240'

Then do:

Code: [Select]

yum install unison240-text
That should automatically install 'unison240' again.

Once again, it should look like this when correct:

[root@server ~]# rpm -qa |grep unison
unison240-text-2.40.102-5.el6.x86_64
unison240-2.40.102-5.el6.x86_64

cannot seem to install the text version as it is not available

any ideas ?

[janet]

Bud

To check if the actual rpm you thought you wanted installed is actually installed do:
rpm -q unison240-text

[ReetP]

I was in a rush earlier.

Forgot --enablerepo=epel

[ReetP]

As a follow up on dungog-rsync I have just about got the web function panel working with updated code.

Now I have a vague idea of what I am doing I hope I can fix the other files more easily. I'll post on the bug once I have something running.

All a matter of personal time !!

[Bud]

ReetP thank you for the update

Looking forward to this

ReetP

when i do: # unison oneway_sync.prf
i get the following errors

Contacting server...
ssh: connect to host 192.0.0.99 port 22221: Connection refused
Fatal error: Lost connection with the server
Fatal error: exception Util.Fatal("Error in getLogch:
/var/log/unison/vps_sql.log: No such file or directory")

any ideas? 

[sages]

i get the following errors

Contacting server...
ssh: connect to host 192.0.0.99 port 22221: Connection refused

Seems like a clue
It can't connect to the host. Have a look on the target logs and see if anything is there. Have a look and see if the target service is running. Is it listening on the specified port 22221. try and start an ssh connection to 192.0.0.99:22221 with an ssh client and see if you can get a connection to start.

[Bud]

sages thank you for your to help

i can do # ssh 192.0.0.99
it then asks for username and password

when i do # ssh 192.0.0.99:22221
i get an error: ssh: Could not resolve hostname 192.0.0.99:22221: Name or service not known

what service do i need to start or install?

what to do?
