OVH Seedbox & Fedora

[jam0980tr]

guys need your help on this boxs now Seedbox Gentoo

What kind of set up will you go for torrenting and ftp

[naq]

I'd recommend utorrent &vsftpd. Gentoo is very good, but not ideal for a server. Because the package management (called emerge) is based on compiling the source codes which takes time. You need to learn emerge... gentoo.org has very good documentation.

vsftpd does perfect for me, I use WSFTP_Pro as my Win Client on my home PC, increase the connections to 12, and it maxes out my 20MB+ home line, perfect.

Utorrent & Webui work ok from POV as well.

By all means not an expert, just passing on what works for me

[stroj]

Damn, they gave it to the noobs who cant even setup it.
j/k, imho its not a win to emulate windows with only 256ram - i had timeouts every second hour in webui.

i'd go for rtorrent instead, but i wouldnt complain to, its freebie :>

thanks i'll pass the info on to my mate who got Gentoo Seedbox

K I did the edit of the file to fluxbox, restarted it, yet still cant change window sizes.

Is there special commands to use or what?

There are no commands... When you restarted vncserver, do you see the taskbar on the bottom in vncviewer? If not, either fluxbox wasn't installed or you didn't properly edit the xstartup file.

K definitely no taskbar, Ill play around and see though.

What does time outs mean ?

Because i've had 2 in the last 15 hours or so and when it does time out the speeds drop a bit and when i reload there back up again ?

Ok so still getting no where, installed fluxbox as you said

"yum install fluxbox"

it went for a little bit and then displayed this:

"Finished
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do"

then brought me back the command line. So then I typed:
"nano ~/.vnc/xstartup"
and deleted everything and then type:
"fluxbox"
wrote it, and then exited nano, and typed this in the command line
"service vncserver restart"

it brings up

"Shutting down VNC server: [OK]
Starting VNC server: no displays configured [OK]"

Then I start up vnc viewer on my personal computer...log in

it just brings up the terminal and utorrent

I searched for about 2 hours before posting here to see what I did wrong...but I have no clue lol.

vncserver isn't running as a service. Here is how to restart it:

exit utorrent
type in putty:

vncserver -kill :1
vncserver :1

Once you login again, right click on the desktop for the fluxbox menu to start xterm.

I knew it was something simple.

Works great now...time to play with the toy

Ok, now Im setting up my vsftp...I put ssl, generated certificate..etc etc.

Added this to my vsftpd.conf file:

ssl_enable=YES
allow_anon_ssl=NO
force_local_data_ssl=NO
force_local_logins_ssl=NO
ssl_tlsv1=YES
ssl_sslv2=NO
ssl_sslv3=NO
rsa_cert_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem
listen_port=XXXX

I made the user groups and everything is set up right per the tutorials:

When I connect, everything exchanges fine...but after user pass is sent..i get this:
