I am using Ubuntu Server to host an Intranet website with Apache and was wondering if it was possible to change the web site's domain name so I don't have to enter the IP address to access the site.
Thanks in advance!

I created a partition on USB harddisk in windows and it reports to be an NTFS partition.
Yet in ubuntu 9.10 fdisk says it a FAT16 partition. If I mount with -t ntfs I see nothing, but if I mount without it I see all the files.
Can anyone tell me whats going on here?
Windows computer disk management definately says its NTFS, and a quick look at the raw data suggests it is NTFS, as I know the FAT16 very well.

my video card has two DVI sockets, but i only use single monitor configuration. Now, i think the main DVI socket might be busted, so i want to try to enable the other as the main one, however, i don't know how to achieve that. I tried just plugging the monitor in that socket but it won't just auto-detect (it would have been way too easy to just work)
I noticed that the username I used to install Ubuntu got added to a bunch of groups in the /etc/group file. I'm getting rid of unneeded accounts. Would anything break if I removed that first account?

I have a small java project that handle connections.
In order to run it from the terminal I have to cd into the folder that contains the source and run the following command:
java -cp classes com.packagename.mainclass
Where classes is the folder that contains the classes.
I want ubuntu to run this application on startup, is there a Java command I can use? Or am I just better off creating a shell script?
Thanks!

How can I fix this behavior?

Ideally would like the command to also create a log file listing files downloaded, install and any errors.
Thanks for help.
Hi, I recently stopped the postgresql database (that was working perfectly), and after a couple of days, when I try to start it, I get the errors:
2011-01-03 23:56:27 CLST LOG: could not translate host name "localhost", service "5432" to address: Name or service not known
2011-01-03 23:56:27 CLST WARNING: could not create listen socket for "localhost"

I'm running Ubuntu 9.1, and I'm using the usuals
/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start and stop
Any hints ?
I need to have two instances of Tomcat 6 running on Ubuntu 10.04. I know it should be doable pretty simply by something like:
copy /var/lib/tomcat6 to /var/lib/tomcat6-2
modify ports in /var/lib/tomcat6-2/conf/server.xml
copy /etc/init.d/tomcat6 to /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2
modify /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2...
...but my problem is that I'm unsure what I should modify in /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2. Chaging the NAME in the beginning of the file clearly is not enough.
What is the standard/correct way to re-install grub2?
