B. Labs. Good, that I do not guarantee high availability on my web services (I've to do a full time job somewhere else too). - -My first attempt to find an internet café, which was working during Christmastime, failed. However, I found with my N95 phone lots of free WLAN hotspots. The hotspots refused me logging into my server using SSH as I have configured a non-standard port for SSH for security reasons. Without knowing the costs, I used the GPRS internet access of my German phone provider (yes, I had to pay roaming fees). - -=> ./using-my-nokia-n95-for-fixing-my-mta/nokia-n95.jpg Picture of a Nokia N95 - -With Putty for N95 and configuring Postfix with Vim and the T9 input mechanism, I managed to fix the problem. But it took half of an hour: - -* First, getting a shell prompt -* Second, use the "tail" command to analyse the Postfix logs -* Third, use the "sed" command to fix a syntax error in the Postfix config -* Fourth, restart Postfix - -It was a pain in the ass. My next mobile phone MUST have a full QWERTY keyboard. This would have made my life lots easier. :) - -At the moment I am in Sofia, Bulgaria. Here I can use at least an unprotected WLAN hotspot which belongs to one of the neighbours which I don’t know in person, and it is not blocking any port at all :) - -E-Mail your comments to `paul@nospam.buetow.org` :-) - -=> ../ Back to the main site |
