Setup;
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS & gophernicus 1.2
dynamic ip
use xinetd
So my xinetd installer worked? WOOHOO! I never use xinetd...
But virtual hosting is no-go until now.
vermeir.dyndns.org <http://vermeir.dyndns.org> points to my dynamic ip
and serves /var/gopher
gopher.wikizine.org <http://gopher.wikizine.org> is by CNAME pointed at
vermeir.dyndns.org <http://vermeir.dyndns.org>
And now that also serves /var/gopher
A directory named "gopher.wikizine.org <http://gopher.wikizine.org>" is
created, the symbol % is placed in gophermap.
But it does not serve it as a virtual host and it is also not listed as one.

Sep 13 23:32:27 gopherserverubuntu in.gophernicus: disabling vhosting:
/var/gopher/gopherserverubuntu must exist
OK. Your servers hostname is apparently "gopherserverubuntu". As in if
you type the command "hostname" you'll get that name. As a security
precaution you need to have a virtual host directory for your own
hostname or all of virtual hosting is disabled.
So, two ways to fix it:
$ sudo mkdir /var/gopher/`hostname`
or,
$ sudo vi /etc/xinetd.d/gophernicus
And the fix the -hwhatever option so that it uses one of your real
virtual host names (the primary one). So most likely it should be
"-hgopher.wikizine.org".
Also, now that I think about it you might not even need virtual hosting.
You only have one hostname for your gopher server, right? Just place
your content under /var/gopher and forget about vhosting....
/var/gopher does exist
"gopherserverubuntu" is the name of the server. But to make sure, I
have also made a directory with that name, no change.
Oh, that I didn't see before I wrote the above. Wait....
[looking through the code]
Are you sure you didn't mistype the directory name when you created it?
The code is just stat():ing the directory it was complaining in syslog
with no further checking.... Try "ls -la /var/gopher/gopherserverubuntu"
and tell me what it says.
