okay, i need a whap with the clue stick. how do i remove the configs for zope/plone? "--purge remove" does NOT do the trick.
long version: apt-get update <yada yada> apt-get install plone <yada yada, coupla questions, yada yada> three notices popped up with tips and advice, the last one including "You must create a "plone-site" instance in Zope"... elinks http://localhost:9673/ <very nice...> the popup menu, top right, has all kinds of things to create, let's try "siteroot"... bad idea, apparently. now instead of my zope, i see the website i pointed to in the siteroot config. of course, there's no more siteroot config available, i only get a 404 from the website instead of zope. fine, i'll uninstall everything. apt-get install slocate updatedb we'll use locate, in a moment. just to be anal. apt-get --purge remove zope <yada yada> we all know how well that works, as on occasion there's a trace left here or there, so we take matters into our own hands: locate -i zope | egrep -i '/zope[^/]+$' | sort -r | pager yup, that sure looks like a good collection of files/dirs to zap. locate -i zope | egrep -i '/zope[^/]+$' | sort -r | xargs /bin/rm -rf locate -i plone | egrep -i '/plone[^/]+$' | sort -r | xargs /bin/rm -rf now we should have NO traces of anything related to plone or zope on the system, right? unless of course a hidden config file is buried inside some sinister directory or file that has no relation to plone or zope in the path name... apt-get install plone <yada yada, coupla questions, yada yada> elinks http://localhost:9673/ the siteroot settings are STILL BORKED. where the hell is the file i need to obliterate? === gotta admit, of course, that if i were doing this using rpms or tarballs, i'd be pulling my hair out for days trying to get the sucker up and running at all. debian/dpkg/apt is awesome! -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.1; Linux serensoft.com 2.4.25-1-386 #2 Wed Apr 14 19:38:08 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #105 from Michael Perry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : How can you DELETE OLD MESSAGES IN MUTT? You can have your .muttrc set up to automatically do this. I have my debian mailing list messages delete after a period of time by adding the following to my .muttrc file. I also have read debian list messages move after I read them... This only means I have to manually enter the old folder for mutt to manage the deletions for me. mbox-hook =spam /home/mperry/oldmail/spamread mbox-hook =debianstuff /home/mperry/oldmail/debianread That moves the read mail to another folder... and then folder-hook /home/mperry/mail/spam 'push D~r>10d!~F\n' folder-hook /home/mperry/oldmail/debianread 'push D~r>30d!~F\n' Here it automatically deletes messages older than 30 days. See the manual (/usr/share/doc/mutt/html) for more info. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
