No, I think I verified that in all cases.

Either that or your LDAP Indexes need tweaking.

Does anyone have a good set I could use as a basis. I am completely
new to LDAP...

my advice would be to check the new group you just added last week and 
see if there are attributes in any of those entries which are not 
indexed --  as a general rule of thumb, I think it's advisable to attach 
an index to just about every attribute that you might ever use when 
looking someone/something up  --   here's what we've got:


# Indexing options
index default eq
index uid
index sn
index gidNumber
index uidNumber
index gecos
index loginshell
index homeDirectory
index cn
index mail
index objectClass eq
and (depending on your version of openldap) don't forget to stop the 
directory, run slapindex and then restart after any changes you may make 
to your index options

good luck,

Re: Starting isp and going to use Debian

2004-02-21 Thread charlie derr
Hello,
	I work for a school (which is not technically an isp, but since we have 
4 T1s and several hundred users, many things will overlap).

Chris Hoover wrote:
Me and some friends are looking into starting a local isp.  My friends are

Anyway, my question is what software do most of you use?  Obviously, we have
decided to use Debian for our base os.  However, what do most of you use
for:
1. Webmail
squirrelmail

2. Imap/pop access
courier

3. User management
LDAP (with a lot of glue we've coded up in php and python)

4. Accounting/Finances
not my baliwick unfortunately (and i'm pretty sure we don't make use of 
any specific free apps)

5. Drive usage control (i.e. user only get 10M for mail and 15M for web)
We have quotas implemented on the web and mail servers.  This is a daily 
  task though (raising quotas of people who've exceeded their default)


Any other advice sould be appreciated.

Chris



Getting pam-ldap to work is really what you want (and of course 
understanding LDAP enough to manage (populate, administer, prune) the 
directory where all account info lives).

good luck to you and your friends,

Re: manual update of apt database (was Best way to update perl on Woody Stable?)

3. (if you have a lot of time on your hands)

  download the debianised source for perl 5.8 from unstable and
  recompile it on your woody system. do the same for any module
  packages that you need. i.e. backport the new perl to the old debian.
  a lot of people recommend this method. personally, i find it to be
  far too time consuming, for very little benefit. far easier (and much
  better tested) to just run unstable.
   

Back to my original question. At this point, how do you tell apt that the package is
installed. 

If i'm understanding the question correctly, you would simply do:

# echo perl hold | dpkg --set-selections

(and repeat the command for all the specific packages (deb files) you've 
built/installed)

   good luck,

Re: Apache / PHP4 config problem (newbee on PHP)

2003-01-15 Thread charlie derr
Try adding this line to your httpd.conf (and restarting apache)

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .html .htm


   good luck,

Thank you for your response.

I moved the script to its original location (/var/www) but I get a strange
behavior:

- Using IE6, the browser asks me if I want to download the test.php script
(???)
- If I rename the .php script to .html, it displays just the header, nothing
else, which is correct imho
- If I try to access test.php via lynx, it just displays the html text.
There is a tmp html file created, althought

It seems to me that the php4 engine never starts to generate pages...

Any other idea ?

Got a (supposed) config problem with PHP4/Apache.

Attached are both the httpd.conf and srm.conf files, along with the

Only the error.log was enough:

You are placing html files in cgi-bin directories. Don't do that,
because cgi-bin directories are reserved only for cgi scripts, not html
or php files. Just place the .php file in /var/www and I think it should
work.
