And then along came = Brian Harrington. 

I must preface this with the fact that everything that i have = done for Brian was at no charge, purely a gesture of good will that I = extend to all members of this list.

Brian was unable to log into the Ubuntu = 18.04 Droplet that he created.

Less than 20 minutes later Brian was = the owner of a shiny new Ubuntu 18.04 server complete with a working = installation of WebDNA server that was only requiring a license = number.

As you = will know, if you have read the published instructions, Webmin is also = installed on the Droplet.

What happened next is purely comical, if I published the = emails that I received and you read the warnings that I provided, plus = the repeated advice that I gave,  you would see exactly where = Brian=E2=80=99s problems are.

=46rom here all Brian needed to do was = upload his websites to /var/www/html and set up his Virtual hosts - at = this stage WebDNA was 100% functional with all the standard file = extensions that are installed with the WebDNA installer.

As an additional task I = set up two Virtual Hosts, one on 80 the other on 443 with the ssl = certificate that he supplied so that he could have a working = reference.

However Brian had other plans, he wanted to create a new = directory /Library/Websites to be the root directory of his webserver, = remember this is the same person that has had no experience with a Linux = server, he has had experience with a Mac server so I believed that he = had a good sense of being able to manage a Linux Server. Brian didn=E2=80=99= t want to use the installed Webmin, he wanted to do all Apache = configuration by uploading files with FTP however he didn=E2=80=99t have = a FTP client.

Brian, you may remember the Skype message that I sent you = expressing my concern that if you work outside the standard installation = you would break it.

For the rest of the week I continued to help him, answer his = questions, provide advice. All the time doing my own work that Brian=E2=80= =99s emails were interrupting. As I live in Sydney there were times that = I was not able to answer him immediately due to the 10 hour time = difference.

Then= on Friday afternoon (Sydney time) I received yet another email from = Brian - he had locked himself out of his server, yes, I fixed this for = him too, repaired his non-root user with sudo privileges and advised him = that in 19 minutes time I would be leaving for the weekend.

So it is now Sunday = morning in Sydney, I have turned on my computer this morning after have = a =E2=80=98family=E2=80=99 day yesterday to see the usually quiet WebDNA = list dominated by Brian continuing to have issues with his = installation.

What does surprise me, and leads me to writing this email are = comments pointed to myself by Brian such as:
"TalkList members say they will = help... then they are GONE and suddenly don't has access to email or = skype???!!! Nothing worse than someone setting you up to = fail...!!!=E2=80=9D

Brian had a very large VHost file that he = moved from his Mac server to the Linux environment without any = alterations.

So= Brian, if you had followed my advice, you would have been 100% = operational as soon as all your files had been uploaded to the = /var/www/html directory and had their ownership and preferences = checked, and had simply changed the root locations in = your vhost configuration file simply with a search and replace with = your text editor.

I must preface this with the fact that everything that i have = done for Brian was at no charge, purely a gesture of good will that I = extend to all members of this list.

Brian was unable to log into the Ubuntu = 18.04 Droplet that he created.

As you = will know, if you have read the published instructions, Webmin is also = installed on the Droplet.

What happened next is purely comical, if I published the = emails that I received and you read the warnings that I provided, plus = the repeated advice that I gave,  you would see exactly where = Brian=E2=80=99s problems are.

=46rom here all Brian needed to do was = upload his websites to /var/www/html and set up his Virtual hosts - at = this stage WebDNA was 100% functional with all the standard file = extensions that are installed with the WebDNA installer.

As an additional task I = set up two Virtual Hosts, one on 80 the other on 443 with the ssl = certificate that he supplied so that he could have a working = reference.
