This one is a bit tricky to ask so an example:

In the case of a tkl appliance acting as a file server how would one recover one users file without affecting others?

Say a user 'fred' deletes a file and a week later discovers that he did so in error and needs it back. (Which happens regularly.)

Say I restore from a backup prior to the date he deleted the file.

Won't restore use the base appliance as a 'template' and restore the entire system to the state it was in at that time, losing ALL changes after that date?

I have forced tklbam-backup to make a full backup once per day by editing /etc/tklbam/conf.

I now have 2 full backups and several incremental backups stored on S3 for this machine.

After reading this post:

I expected the older full to 'roll off' and leave only the most current.

I want to place multiple TK WordPress appliances on my MacMini in my office. I would like each of these sites to be accessible through the Internet.

I already have a dyndns.org account setup that is working with a local installation of MAMP (the Mac version of LAMP).

I assume that I can run multiple TK WordPress appliances and use a router to forward URL requests to the appropriate VM. Is that correct?

I noticed while re-deploying an appliance that some of the updates said they were failing.

My guess is because we have to aggressively block things here at the high school. I can white list the URLs that I need to reach, if I know what they are. Installation goes so quickly, I can't quite figure out what all I need to open up.

Is there a list of URLs needed for the machines to be able to speak to once deployed?

Thanks!

When I was installing the Ruby on Rails appliance, I told it to update the security.  After a awhile, it timed out.

I could be mistaken in what I copied from the screen.

I wrote:

cronapt

/var/log/cron-apt/log

Later in a webshell, I enter cronapt but the command was not found.

Based on the log file entry, I typed cron-apt which seems to work.

On the off chance that I did copy the message correctly and you have a typo in your instructions, I am letting you know.

Hello,

I just created a new EC2 instance with Magento appliance.

Now, I see that on the Turnkey panel, when we click on the "Webshell" icon, it starts a login procedure to Magento.

I have a very basic question...

What are the username/password set by default ?

What are the real practical advantages of running VMWARE Tools on a VM on a ESX system?

I'm asking this question because I saw that TKL 11 has those tools already installed. Our VM doesnt have them (TKL LAMP Ubuntu server 8.04) and we never installed them.

I am running release 2009.10-2 of the redmaine appliance on VmWare ESX, I would like to upgrade to the latest Turnkey 11 release but I'm not certain of the best method.  What is the recomended way to perform the upgrade.  I'm fairly new to these appliances so any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

How can I combine the app from the wordpress, vtiger and ORTS iso's  into one appliance?
