You have not said what proxy/firewall (if you know), what you have to
set to access it with your web browser, or whether you can access
anonymous ftp sites with it from your browser. Until you answer those
questions anybody would be guessing.
If it proxies http ONLY, see if you can find a Unix sheel account on the
internet that will allow you to run httptunnel:

If you are not against using a GUI one, I believe IglooFTP for X
allows it (I know it allows PASV mode, and I think I remember
something about proxy settings. Not sure since I haven't used it in
over a year and I am not at my Linux box at the moment to load it up
and check)

Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 15:32:50 +0200
Hi,
Thanks for the help!
The reason for raw devices with this installation is because Oracle Parallel
Server needs the datafiles to be available to all nodes in the cluster. All
the nodes redolog files must also be accessible by the other nodes incase of
a recovery is required.
I managed to link the raw devices to the block devices ok using mknod. I am
having problems with the number of raw devices that I can create. I have
logical partitions hda1 to hda17...but the hda17 block device is not created
in /dev. I can see it when I use fdisk but not in the /dev directory. So
when I type in the following:
$ mknod /dev/redo2_2.log c 162 13
$ raw /dev/redo2_2.log /dev/hda17
I get that the file hda17 does not exist.
In fact anything above hda16 created in fdisk is not created in /dev.
Can you perhaps help again please?
Thanx

Subject: Make modules fails with RH 7.1
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 09:35:04 -0400
I am trying to re-build my 2.4.X Red Hat 7.1 kernel. I needed to patch it
with the Win4Lin kernel patch...
I can compile and boot the kernel just fine. The problem starts at trying to
make modules. The first module it hits (dummy.c for example) that includes
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h fails with a stream of strange errors.
I don't have the exact text in front of me, but things like line 173 parse
error, not a number and not hexadecimal, function declared that returns a
function, things like that.
I can vi the module.h file and the lines look fine. No strange looking
characters or numbers....
BTW, the reason for re-building the kernel is to make the NVdriver.o file
(that also gets the errors since it is a loadable module as well!).
Any pointers?
Thanks

He might also try running linuxconf from a prompt and access: Control |

If he's not comfy editing raw files, this might be an easier solution.

Ah, I was wondering that there didn't popped up some question about
System.map
on this ng, for some time...;-)
You don't really need this file. But it's not wrong to have it.
'man klogd' for more info.
'grep Symbols /var/log/*' should show if the kernel was able to load the
right System.map.

Thanks for the various suggestions, I've managed to fix the problem
now.
For the future benefit of anyone else with similar hardware, I'll
detail the solution below. I'm using an IBM Aptiva 2170 26G, which has
an SiS 530 graphics card (uses 8MB of system RAM) and IBM C51 monitor.
The solution was to set the following combination of device options
within the "sis" device section of my XF86Config-4:
Option "NoAccel"
Option "FastVram"
(This is wierd, because the card doesn't have any on-board Video RAM,
but there you go...)
BTW, refresh rate probing is working fine for me. Take a look at
/var/log/XFree86.0.log to see what rates are being calculated (and any
other XFree86 problems).

Yes, most definitely, so I'm not sure what to fix when I get back in.
But I'll take a look at lilo.conf and see if I screwed up somehow.

I've got an installation of 6.2 (on a removable HD) that works properly

BibTeX extension to PERL won't compile); is there some way I can

Problem:
When I mount that FAT32 system on Linux system, mount /dev/hda2 /disk

I can't write files as ordinary user. It always say permission deny.
When I login as root I don't have any problem. So I try to change directory

OK, I booted it from the floppy when I typed that.

I did, but went back and doublechecked the file and ran it again
anyway, with the same result.
I did find one clue, however. At the boot prompt, it says something
like "type rescue now, or wait ten seconds to boot from hdb6." This
is interesting, because I only have one drive--hda5. Is this because
I'm using a rescue disk from a different system where I had it
installed on the second drive? If so, then I guess it doesn't mean
anything.
So I still don't know why it won't boot unassisted.

Yes , time is huge factor when I try to deploy database on RH 7.1. So
that's why I simply switch to Solaris and Slackware immediately, right
now I don't want to spend much time to research the difference between
6.2 and 7.1. I need our app run ASAP. Glad to see setup database and
app only takes me 3 hrs on Solaris 8 and 4 hrs on slacware.
I also know that learning new stuff has a lot of fun. BUt currently I
want to spend less time on our app. Maybe after I learned all the
'updates' introduced by RH 7.1, I will love it. But right now, for our
database, for our app, RH 7.1 is truly a piece of garbage.
Well, I know somebody may think that RH 7.1 is a new 'OS' or major
update, that's why people needs to spend more time to learn it. First
of all, it is NOT a new OS. For basic features, RH sould keep
consistent. Compare with Oracle, RH did a such bad job. We know
'svrmgrl' is an old animal in earlier versions of Oracle, and Oracle
didn't recommend use it in 8i, but you still can use it if u want,
without any performance downgrads. RH needs to do much better job to
draw customers.
Let's talk about timing. Oracle 9i is just available, and I can deploy
our app on 9i in one business day. Why? Because Oracle keeps the basic
features same as previous releases. Even though I didn't take the full
advantage of 9i yet, but our app works fine, and the performance looks
like better than on 8i. Next I can do some tuning on 9i. For this
point, RH simply failed to execute.
Welcome any opinions.

That's a good point. I did compile in my network drivers, and I

Ken;
This sounds way to familiar for comfort. It sounds to me like you have
an out of control query that is access far to much of your database.
When the query hits the database your system fires off a fork for the
requested data, and starts hammering the database for data. Your io
cant feed the process fast enough and all the other queries start to
hang and time out. Eventually the process tanks up on all the memory
the machines has and digs into the swap. The problem isn't that it
couldn't finish but that the user got sick of waiting for your data to
return from the server and hit reload/submit again to get the data
thinking that it was just a problem with the service and not the data
that was being queried. This starts the whole thing over only now you
have two out of control queries and a server thats under powered. The
thing to do is move the database to another machine and see if this
helps the problem you should see some of the io problems come down but
if not its time to rewrite your query schedueler so that it doesn't
allow for queries of that nature. It will take much trouble shooting.
It would be good to rewrite your front end so that it logs what queries
are coming though to the data base engine so that you see what is
happening and the same on your web engine so that you see the corelation
between the web hit and the query.

1. Yes. I am using one old hard disk 13gb on this mobo, love it more than
the old P2B-D,
of course because it is faster.
2. To boot from cd, you need to go to BIOS, and disable booting from hard
disk.
This means that you will have the order of boot from floppy, then cd-rom.
Both ATAPI and scsi cd-rom will work.
Better go with redhat 7.1 than 7.0, but 7.0 seems simpler.

on RH7.1 - no way. Installed RH6.2 plus JDK (as per documentation) and
voila!

Do not buy LG. They do not work properly with cdrecord, the main cd writing
software out there on Linux. I do not know whether this is a problem with the drive
( which claims mmc compliance) or with cdrecord ( which claims to work on all mmc
compliant systems) Neither LG not Shilling have been very helpful on this (LG-- We
do not supposrt Linux except for reading. We will not give you any information
about the drive. Shilling-- It works on my LG drive but I have received other
complaints that it does not work on theirs). If you have already made the mistake
of buying one, It will work using the Disk At Once option but NOT the track at
once. It will also at times produce disks where the tracks are entered improperly
so that any player cannot find the track starts (although the player will play them
one after the other). I have not been able (not willing to ruin enough CDs) to
figure out exactly the circumstances in which cdrecord ( or rather xcdroast) messes
up.
So, do not by LG, and return the one you have if you have already bought it.

OK, I reverted to the old System.map, and made 2.2.19 the default
again, and I seem to be back where I was before the kernel rebuild.
Now I just have to figure out why it didn't like the upgrade.

Subject: RH 6.2 problem
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 08:30:46 -0700
Tried to install RH 6.2 in my HP550mhz celeron computer. It didn't find the
monitor so no GUI. When it tried to boot, I got a blank screen with just
"LI" and a blinking cursor. Tried to install it on my wife's PII 233 Dell.
Graphic installation worked fine but same result when I tried to boot. Had
to put RH 7.1 back in to get the computer to boot at all. Why am I trying
to install 6.2? Because I am 5 weeks into trying to get Oracle 8.1.6 to run
under RH 7.1.-Shared library error. I figured 6.2 would solve the problem
but I can't get it installed. Any advice cheerfully accepted. I can
provide lots of details if you need them.
TIA

Yes your mount options. You want to RTFM 'man 8 mount' and look for
user,group options. Here's my entry in /etc/fstab :
/dev/hde2 /windows/C vfat noauto,user 0 0
/home/rob> mount /windows/C
/home/rob> ls -lgd /windows/C
drwxr-xr-x 15 rob users 16384 Jan 1 1970 /windows/C
Hope this helps. You can set the uid and gid of the fs in the mount if you
want.
Do read the man page, it will be instructive.
