05:00.50morsing'morning all

07:13.22mozratmorsing!
07:15.15morsingmozrat! Can I ask you a pensions question?
07:15.19morsingOr two?
07:16.46mozratNot really - I have no idea about pensions
07:16.58morsingNo-one in this country does...
07:17.04mozratAsk an old person
07:18.13morsingWhy?
07:19.23mozratbecause they probably live on a pension?
07:20.25morsingAnyway, if I pay £450/mth into a pension fund from I'm 26 till I'm 65
07:20.54morsingDoes a monthly pension pay of £400 or £5000 sound more reasonable
07:21.13*** join/#gllug Leeds (n=richardc@host-87-74-74-21.bulldogdsl.com)
07:21.22mozratdepends how much you are paying for the years and years beforehand I guess
07:21.28morsingI'm just thinking the £5000 she said must have been monthly, not yearly
07:21.38morsingSo, you think £400 is right?
07:21.52morsingLeeds: Pension?
07:21.55mozrat400 a month? Thats not enough to pay your council tax + food is it
07:22.00morsingExactly!
07:22.14morsingSo it must be thousands, not hundreds then?
07:23.17mozratibot 400 x 12

07:24.06morsingmozrat: ?!
07:24.09mozratmorsing: you'd have to be paying an awful lot into a pension to get 5,000 out a month
07:24.20mozratSlayerXP: really sorry to hear about your nephew :(((
07:24.35morsingmozrat: I'm paying £450/mth
07:24.40SlayerXPmozrat: thanks
07:24.41mozratSlayerXP: Horrible news
07:24.46morsingSlayerXP: What happened?
07:24.53mozratSlayerXP: which regiment is he in?
07:25.01morsingIf you look at this:
07:25.02morsinghttp://www.adviceonline.co.uk/PENCALC.html
07:25.15SlayerXPhe stepped on a land mine whilst trying to get a squadmate out of danger
07:25.20morsingIS the "Estimated Pension" at the otto
07:25.25Leedsmorsing: what about one?
07:25.30morsingbottom a yearly payment?
07:26.00morsingLeeds: Is the "Estimated Pension" at the bottom a yearly payment?
07:26.02mozratSlayerXP: which lot is he in?
07:26.07SlayerXPmozrat: I don't know exactly
07:26.14morsinghttp://www.adviceonline.co.uk/PENCALC.html
07:26.19morsingSlayerXP: What happened?
07:26.32SlayerXPmorsing: he stepped on a land mine whilst trying to get a squadmate out of danger
07:26.37mozrathttp://blog.hinterlands.org/2006/09/06#20060906
07:26.41morsingSlayerXP: Will he be ok?
07:27.12SlayerXPmorsing: he's still alive and the doctor says he's stable
07:27.31SlayerXPhe's lost the bottom part of his left leg for sure,  they may need to amputate higher.
07:27.34Leedsmorsing: how much are you putting in per month? do you already have anything saved?
07:27.49mozratSlayerXP: how old is he?
07:28.36SlayerXPmozrat: 21 or 22

07:47.44morsingLeeds: I've got at least £20k already and I'm putting in £450/mth
07:50.35Leedsmorsing: well, I think the theory is that you can get something like 8% back from the fund each year once you retire, so about 45k p/a sounds about right
07:52.16morsingCool, not £5000. That's better
07:56.14Leedshow old are you?

08:03.06Leedsobviously, a lot depends on how your fund is invested and how well it grows - for example, my dad, who is just entering pension-maturity age, has found that he's got a lot less money than he thought he had about 6 years ago...
08:03.58morsingLeeds: I'm ok with that, as long as I get more than £400/mth :)
08:05.00LeedsI wouldn't worry about that

08:47.36SlayerXPgo on then, what's the problem?
08:47.56CopeI just can't see what I'm doing wrong; step by step.... this is what I've done.
08:48.21SlayerXPare you still on this svn issue?
08:48.40Copeyes!!

08:51.07SlayerXPjust plug it in to the hot side of the firewall for 10 minutes
08:51.38Copeand l33t haxxors will configure it for me
08:52.19Copeok... so step by step:
08:52.26Copemachine already had apache 1.3 installed on it
08:52.30Copeso I removed it
08:52.37Copeapt-get --purge remove apache
08:52.54SlayerXPyes
08:53.40Copethen I installed apache2, subversion, libapache2-svn and subversion-tools
08:53.54SlayerXPyes
08:54.15CopeI created an ssl certificate, and added listen 443 to ports.conf
08:54.22SlayerXPskip that for now
08:54.37Copeyeah - i am just telling you what i did
08:54.51Copeso putting ssl on hold
08:55.03Copei created a place for the repo
08:55.11z00daxCope: install centos, yum install mod_dav_svn; enjoy.
08:55.19SlayerXP(you did add the svn block to the SSL vhost, right?)
08:55.44Copeand chownd it to www-data, recursively
08:56.05Copesu - www-data and created a repo
08:56.19SlayerXP*nods*
08:56.27Copecreated a virtual host
08:56.32Copein sites-available
08:56.39Copelistening on 443
08:58.23SlayerXP(paste the vhost container to your favourite pastebin site)
08:58.38Copek
08:59.04cpufreakCope: did you ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.com /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/domain.com
08:59.27Copeyes
09:02.07SlayerXP...
09:02.25Copethis is what I had most recently
09:02.25Copehttp://pastebin.ca/164093
09:03.12SlayerXPthat will not in any way work
09:03.25Copeokay
09:03.46SlayerXP<Location /svn>
09:04.26SlayerXPalso, if you have one repo, use SVNPath not SVNParentPath
09:04.36Copei will have more than one
09:04.46Copeand that's a typio - it is <location />
09:04.56SlayerXPyes, that won't work
09:04.56Copenot just <location>
09:05.19Copei changed it to /svn too
09:05.24SlayerXPokay
09:05.24Copeand svnpath
09:05.26Copejust now
09:05.35Copeand took out all the rest of the crao
09:05.47Copeso now it just says:
09:05.54Cope<location /svn>
09:05.57CopeDAV svn
09:06.17CopeSVNPath /home/nelsonst/svn

09:06.38Copesame thing - can't open svn filesystem
09:07.14SlayerXPwell no
09:07.26Copesame as before: cannot open file /home/nelsonst/svn/format
09:07.30SlayerXPunless your home directory is accessible by the www-data user
09:07.41Copei made it so
09:07.57Copebut ok, let's make a new one, owned by www-data
09:07.57SlayerXPpoint it at your real repo
09:08.04Copeok
09:08.17SlayerXPthe one you carefully prepared thaty I agree has been set up correctly
09:09.00Copei blew that away; but only 2 tics to make a new one - it only had a test file in it
09:09.16Copemkdir /subversion
09:09.17SlayerXPit doesn't need to have anything in it
09:09.20Copesure
09:09.31SlayerXPbrowsing to an empty repo will just show "At revision 0"
09:09.43Copeokj
09:09.53Copechown www-data:www-data /subversion
09:10.05Copesu - www-data
09:10.30Copesvnadmin create /subverison
09:10.32Copedone
09:10.36Copeok>
09:11.12SlayerXPdon't forget to change your svnpath in the vhost container
09:13.43Copeok bouncy boncy
09:14.20Coperevison 0 :)
09:15.12Copehrm
09:15.25SlayerXPamazing, when stuff is set up correctly, it works :)
09:15.36Copei don't see what I did differently
09:15.53SlayerXPthe location and, probably, permission/ownership of the repo

10:48.21mozratHi Cope
10:48.58Copehello moz
10:51.11mozratCope, do you know much about the difference between apache2-worker and apache2-prefork ?
10:51.26mozratthis is for a very small site running some internal reporting tools
10:51.31mozratnot a big public site
10:52.23CopeI do
10:52.40Copeprefork doesn't do threading at all - it's the same as 1.3
10:53.37mozratWhat would you recommendation be?
10:54.15Copeworker is one of the threaded implementations; I would say in your case it will make almost no difference at all, but since you're using apache2 I would go with the threaded architecture, and use worker.
10:56.18mozratthank you
11:00.18rhoweSlayerXP: Yeah, looks good, thanks
