This page contains answers to questions often asked about DomTool and our setup.

[[TableOfContents]]

= Things that worked fine yesterday suddenly don't work anymore =

The most likely reason for IMAP, DNS, and web hosting to suddenly stop working is that there is a syntax error in one of the files in your {{{~/.domtool}}} directory. Admins sometimes need to regenerate all domtool configuration files after making a change to domtool; if one of the files in your {{{~/.domtool}}} directory has errors, it could prevent other files in that directory from being activated.

To figure out whether this was the problem: for each file '''<FILE>''' in your {{{~/.domtool}}} directory, run

{{{
domtool -tc ~/.domtool/<FILE>
}}}

If you see any problems, either move the file into a different directory, or fix the problems.

When done, run '''domtool''' on each file in your {{{~/.domtool}}} directory, and everything should be back to normal.

It is highly recommended to keep files in a different directory while testing them, and then copy them to {{{~/.domtool}}} once you are certain that they are error-free.

If you don't find any errors in your domtool configuration, then you might want to file a support request.

= How do I read my Apache logs? =

They are stored in {{{~/.logs/apache}}} in subdirectories corresponding to machine and domain, and are updated every 20 minutes.

= How do I keep my Kerberos session from expiring? =

/!\ Needs verification from someone knowledgeable in Kerberos.

If you want to have a long-running {{{screen}}} session, for example, then log into mire and do the following:

{{{
krenew -K 540 -t -b screen
}}}

Then you can reattach to the {{{screen}}} session using the normal:

{{{
screen -r
}}}
