This is a Canonical Question about Connection Refused
We see a lot of questions to the effect
When I try to connect to a system I get a message
Connection refused
Why is this ?
I believe this is not possible, but someone I know insisted that it works. I don't even know what parameters to try, and I haven't found this documented anywhere.
I tried http://myserver.com/~user=username&password=mypassword but it doesn't work.
Can you confirm that it's not in fact possible to pass the user/pass via HTTP parameters (GET or POST)?
How can I check if a port is listening on a Linux server?
What is the command to sync a Windows workstation or server to its configured time source?

How to automate SSH login with password? I'm configuring my test VM, so heavy security is not considered. SSH chosen for acceptable security with minimal configuration.

I remember I did this with some tricks somebody guided me, but I can't remember now the trick I used...
My Git setup runs fine on Linux, but when I try to set things up under Windows (using Git for Windows and TortoiseGit), I don't know where to put my private SSH key (or, better still, how to tell ssh where it's located). I'm using the standard ssh.exe option during installation of Git for Windows. The setup runs fine if I allow password authentication (in lieu of RSA) on the server.
I need to reload my php.ini and there's nothing in the help dialog about restarting it.
I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed with sshd and I can successfully connect to it using login and password. I have configured an RSA key login and now have "Server refused our key" as expected. Ok, now I want to check sshd log in order to figure out a problem. I have examined /etc/ssh/sshd_config and it have
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel INFO
Ok. I'm looking at /var/log/auth.log and... it's empty O_O. Changing Loglevel to VERBOSE helps nothing - auth.log is still empty. Any hints how I can check sshd log?
I have just installed postgres 8.4 on Ubuntu 9.10 and it has never asked me to create a superuser. Is there a default superuser and its password? If not, how do I create a new one?

Just downloaded a .zip file from the internet. I want to use the terminal to unzip the file. What is the correct way to do this?
I am trying to copy the contents of a folder to another folder in a different directory using terminal.
Would somebody be able to provide me an example of the command line syntax required to achieve this?
How do I install a .deb file via the command line?
Whenever I open a .sh file, it opens it in gedit instead of the terminal. I can't find any option similar to Right Click → Open With → Other Application... → Terminal.
How do I open this file in the terminal?
I have downloaded tar.gz files. But I don't know how to install it. How do I install this kind of file?

E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another process using it?
How can I fix this?
