Hello all,
I am using Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS.
I fiddle with my headless Linux server here and there in my spare time as time allows. A while back I accidentally removed my user login from being able to perform sudo commands. I have to type the "su" command before performing any root functions.
I find this annoying, I used to be able to, but after changing my login to different groups I somehow removed that privilege.
My login is a member of the group named "ftp" currently, and I think when I moved myself into that group, it pulled me out of the root group.
How would I put myself back into the root group, while still retaining the current group I am in?
---------------
2nd question is in regards to hosting a MediaWiki blog.
I have followed all the instructions here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual...n_Ubuntu_10.04
I am extremely new to using Ubuntu, but have a very fundamental understanding of the internet.
This pc is behind a router doing port forwarding on port 80 (among many other ports), and the router has a static IP address configured to it.
After following all the instructions, I am lost on how to actually get to the website.
Now I do not have an A record set up or a domain registered, but in theory, I should just be able to open a web browser, punch in the wan ip address of the router and have it port forward to the server. I have also tried form inside the network to try to access it via its private ip address . THis is what I am entereing into my url bar:
192.168.1.102/mediawiki/index.php
192.168.1.102/mediawiki/index.php/main
I have tried just the ip in the url bar , nothing seems to work, and the same goes when I try to access it via the wan. What am I doing wrong?
The following is the output from my LocalSettings.php file:
