Any ideas to solve my problem?

I changed my server acc and ip server to xxx on quoted text!

This is a blueprint for greatness! thanks for the tutorial, I've used it many times as a basis for my experimentation..

Awesome!

This post was very informative... I appreciate it, and will apply a lot of what I learned in it the next time I actually buy a seedbox, which should be pretty soon.

guys i have setup utorrent on webui on my ubuntu , problem is i cant access the ip address to the gui .. anyone can tell me what i can do about that?

Someone have any idea how to solve this error. I am trying to run uttorent with fedora 8

Thats after i cancel the setup wizard. I tired also running the setup but same thing.

someone ?:) Thanks

Just want to say thanks for this amazing guide. Just a got a server with a couple of other people and this will make it a lot easier :D.

a very useful guide
thx

Very very helpful guide, I had setup my seedbox and it was working fine, then all of a sudden about a week ago I had VNC close down on me and each time I try to connect to it, it just says "Connection closed", so I thought I would kill the process in Putty, so I type in "vncserver -kill :1" and it comes up with this message

Can't find file /root/.vnc/hosted-by:1.pid
You'll have to kill the Xtightvnc process manually

---

I've posted the same question on this forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1258328 and they have tried helping me out, but I now have an even bigger problem!!!! I followed the steps below, but when I typed in "iptables -F" Putty just froze, and now I am unable to connect to my seedbox :cry:

We'll setup a firewall later in the guide, so for now we can disable this firewall if it exists. To find out, type the following in Putty while login as root to list the filter table of iptables:[/INDENT]

Code:

---

# iptables -t filter -L
 Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

---

The above output means there is no firewall. If your output has entries under the 3 chains (INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT) and/or has more chains, then we'll need to flush the iptables:

Code:

---

# iptables -F

---

[INDENT] List the table again to make sure it's empty. Then try to connect with VNC Viewer again.

I have no idea what to do
