MemberI can't get the video to play on this tutorial. I've tried a number of times it looks like it will play then goes to a black screen. I am however watching it on youtube and I have a question. On the Linode dashboard you say to go to the network tab. My Linode does not have that tab so any idea where it might be?
Thank youPosted 1 year ago # -
k Mary .. fixed now .. actually I think it was a Vimeo thing cos I didn't have to do anything :P

MemberThe video still will not play in Vimeo. But I'm having another issue while installing Postfix getting the following:
mkmagu@mail~ $ sudo apt-get -y install postfix telnet mailx
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package mailx is a virtual package provided by:
mailutils 1:2.1+dfsg1-6
heirloom-mailx 12.4-2
bsd-mailx 8.1.2-0.20100314cvs-1
You should explicitly select one to install.E: Package 'mailx' has no installation candidate
I'm running ubuntu 10.10 on linodePosted 1 year ago # -
Hi Mary,
Dunno .. I don't use 10.10 an don't recommend it. Works on 10.04 which the guide uses and recommends for the reasons stated.
Sorry, no good reason to use 10.10 though. Hint: it's not Long Term Support.
Re the video .. hmmn, what browser are you using? I wonder if that's the issue .. no problem with FF, at least.

MemberI'm using firefox on Ubuntu 10.10,
"it's not Long Term Support"
Can you hear me SCREAMING!! I didn't pick up on that when I built the linode. I have been working on this for 3 weeks and finally see the end of the tunnel and was ready to load my site. You tutorials have been a big help BTW I would have stayed with shared hosting with out them. Well I guess I'm rebuilding the VPS for the 9-10th time, hopefully this will be the last one!!!thank you

MemberBig ups to the_guv, these tutorials are great and I love em. BUT Mary is right about mailx even on 10.04 LTS. I've gotten the same message -
Package mailx is a virtual package provided by:
mailutils 1:2.1+dfsg1-6
heirloom-mailx 12.4-2
bsd-mailx 8.1.2-0.20100314cvs-1
You should explicitly select one to install.And I think this is what is holding up my drupal sites from sending mail. My site that matches my host domain (drupal 7) can send mail from the contact page BUT my other sites not-the-hostd-omain.net (drupal 6) will not send mail from their contact pages.
Is it drupal 6? my postfix configuration? or is it that mailx installation issue?
I'm trying to figure that out now.

Memberupdate: I got it! what a pain in the a$$
It was a drupal 6 module that was giving me grief.'Reroute emails' is the name of the module, it was enabled but it was not configured. Just the fact that it was enabled threw off my contact form. I spent so much time finding this I'll research the details another day. Bigger fish to fry now.

out of interest Joe, why 6 and not Drupal 7?

MemberCool someone replied - and it's the_guv himself - can you tell I don't post to forums often? LOL.
Well I was using Ubercart and some multilingual modules (especially i18n) for a e-commerce site that I was putting together on my dev machine. As I made this leap into the VPS realm I didn't see enough support for those modules in Drupal 7, thus Drupal 6. (Also the calendar module I don't think it was production-ready yet - but it should be good by now)
But I also set up my VPS to serve D7 as well. I have the stub of a 7 site going so I know it's working fine.
Might even get into serving ModX sites since I hear so much about it, soon as I get my Drupal sites going I'll start looking at ModX.
Site's great guv- thank you for taking the time to make it.
