Home Server Setup

Evening All

Sorry if this is a silly question.

I am looking to try out setting a server myself on a PC i have at home, am i right in saying i need to install to Linux to do this.

Installing Linux will not affect still using the PC for normal day to day stuff

Also there is many guides, any recommendations on which to follow

Thank you in advance

Welcome to Linuxsat m8, what kind of PC or receiver do you plan on setting your server up on? If it is a PC, is it x32 or x64 Bit capable processor?

Hello mate, i was gonna try with a PC initally, have a Dreambox HD800 sitting around.

Got an old Dell PC with Intel Core 2 CPU 4400 @ 2.0 Ghz with 2GB RAM and running Windows 7 64 Bit

Need a help with getting my ip address for my Ubuntu PC, it is wired but cannot see it connected on my router.

I am using the tutorial recommended to me above and got to the bit to make a static ip in my router for my server.

I probably should have got the ip before i installed ubuntu, hopefully someone can help.

I have tried if config but no ip address comes up

Many thanks in advance

I have Ubuntu 12, I have run ifconfig but no 192 address comes up.
I get a 127.0.0.1 come up

I have Virgini Super Hub and can't see that mac or the PC connected on the device list

Thanks for the help, figured it out in the end i think.

I have got the card reader part now, but not sure what software to use for the following

1: Linux PC setup.
Make sure that your installed linux distro which has kernel 2.6.12 or newer version!

Is the below an error or can it be ignored

Cannot get real path for '/tmp/cccamoscam_install_package'.
No such file or directory.
Error code: 2
Error message from server: No such file
Request code: 16

It cant find the cccamoscam_install_package, make sure you put the contents of this folder into the /tmp directory.

Thanks mate, i have tried to redo it but get the same error but my web pages for the 2 seem ok

Do you mean you have already ran the install package & can see oscam & CCcam web info?

Yes mate i had copied over to server as stated in tutorial and that error came up when server reboots.
I done it again when you said the contents are missing and same error but web pages seem ok.

I have a couple of other questions hoping someone can help me

1. Do i need to install more software for the below?

Linux PC setup.
Make sure that your installed linux distro which has kernel 2.6.12 or newer version!

2. Linux doesnt seem to recognise my Smargo Card Reader, it detects and comes up with a long list but no Card Reader?

3. Do i need to configure my Sly Subscription anywhere?

Many thanks for your help

Either way it should not be trying to run the script at boot up, nkhan can you have a look at the file /etc/crontab & see what is set to run when the system boots.

This is what i got on the contrab file

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
