Simo, My previous email was meant to be in a very jovial and joking fashion. The references to "voodoo magic" and "forced" were specifically meant this way. I find using humor relieves the stress caused by the difficulties I am having with the "Linux learning curve" or should I say "S" turns. If your desire is to have all correspondence remain solely on the Debian users list, this is fine. I will just refrain from injecting my "humor of frustration" Thanks,

What I meant by "no cc necessary" is "let's keep the discussion in the list", so other people can give their input as well and no need to cc me. Secondly, make sure that you can access the MVC locally (from the same host where you install it). After that you can start working on getting it visible to the LAN and internet. Thirdly, If your email client is in some kind HTML-mode, it might "eat" some necessary directives from this posting, because they look like HTML-tags! If you don't see anything between these quotes " <Directory> ", try to adjust your email client settings. Fourthly, no magic was used in my case. I have a Debian etch (sarge should work the same way), and these are the steps I took to get MVC up and running: Install the tools sudo apt-get install make gcc Install Apache 2 server sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker The following are the steps 1-11 at http://manhattan.sourceforge.net/?Documentation:README_Files:INSTALL Add the user manhat to the system sudo adduser manhat Add the user manhat to the group www-data sudo adduser manhat www-data Login as user manhat Change the permissions of the home directory of the user manhat chmod 711 . Copy the file manhat-3.1.0.tar.gz into manhat's home directory and untar it tar xzf manhat-3.1.0.tar.gz Change to the src-directory cd manhat-3.1.0/src Copy the custom header file cp default_custom.h costom.h Edit the file custom.h Change the #define EXIT_URL "http://manhattan.sf.net"; to #define EXIT_URL "http://www.mydomain.com/"; Change the #define HTTPD_GROUP "www" to #define HTTPD_GROUP "www-data" Edit the Makefile Change the HTTPD_GROUP = "www" to HTTPD_GROUP = "www-data" Compile and install make clean make install logout user manhat Copy the file libneo.so from /home/manhat/manhat-3.1.0/lib to /usr/local/lib sudo cp /home/manhat/manhat-3.1.0/lib/libneo.so /usr/local/lib/ Edit the file /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/local/lib into it. sudo vim /etc/ld.so.conf Run ldconfig sudo ldconfig -v Insert manhattan.mydomain.com into the file /etc/hosts Change the Listen directive in the file /etc/apache2/ports.conf to Listen xx.yy.zz.ww:80 Create a file /etc/apache2/sites-available/manhat NOTE! Make sure that the ServerName directive matches the name in the file /etc/hosts. Remove the default link from the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default Copy /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydefault sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydefault Edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydefault and change the first two lines to NameVirtualHost xx.yy.zz.ww:80 <VirtualHost xx.yy.zz.ww:80> Link the files to the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydefault /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000_mydefault sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/manhat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/010_manhat Restart the www-server sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload Point the browser to http://manhattan.mydomain.com/manhat-bin/doorstep Further reading: Apache has very good documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ Manhattan Virtual Classroom has its documentation at http://manhattan.sourceforge.net/?Documentation Notice especially the security issues at http://manhattan.sourceforge.net/static_content/manhat_docs/admin_manuals/ad min_manual3.0/x415.html Simo -- :r ~/.signature -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
