am I missing?

This is a bare bones install so I might of missed a package

Debian stable aims for well, stability so the old packages are known to be

For a hosting company + debian your choices are going to be pretty limited

IMHO for webhosting webmin doesn't cut it. For system admin great but it
doesn't have features that webhosts need.

Basically i would suggest you look at web://cp which is getting there or
try cpanel (www.cpanel.net) but its not that good on debian and does cost

 Interesting, Paul.  So are you saying that SCSI hard drives are simply
 not worth the extra money or that the advantages of SCSI are in the

IMHO SCSI disks last longer so its worth paying extra there. Also the

rather than IDE which is done more on the CPU

 I think 'dd' might work for that.  Try man dd or info dd for more

 work backwards too.

 dd if=/dev/fd0 of=filename.img


or cat /dev/fd0  filename.img will work just as nicely

 I seem to have a strange problem. I have a server which is showing a

This would imply I/O wait for me. What sort of disks does it have?

 What bothers me is that load average used to stay under 0.16 previously
 - nothing has changed. I have already tried to see if there are any
 processes blocking using ps auxwww but they all seem to be in State S
 with a few in SW and two in SWN.

 Hello,
 I am running a mixed testing/unstable debian system, and have the following
 problem (never happened on woody): when I play a video file or a dvd, video
 playback stops while the sound keeps going. Pressing space restarts the
 video. The problem happens with mplayer and ogle (haven't tried xine yet)
 Does anybody have an idea where it might come from?

One thing to try with mplayer is using mplayer -vo xv as it could be
something to do with the video drivers in X

 Hello,

 I have a machine that apparently has a bad spot on the disk. I'd like to
 run fsck on it, but the problem is the machine is headless and is only
 accessed remotely (ssh). Without pulling it out, hooking up a montior 
 keyboard, is there a way to run fsck safely, yet remotely, on a mounted
 partition (the disk only has one: root) without causing any (further)
 damage?

 TIA,
 Ron

Assuming this is ext2 you can do something like

tune2fs -i 1 /dev/hda and reboot and it will fsck on the reboot

However there is now way you can do a fsck live unless you can get it to
remount the rootfs read only and even then I don't think it will let you

Depending on the version of the driver try either

modprobe NVidia
modprobe Nvidia
modprobe nvidia

Which ever one work just put the nvidia in /etc/modules

You should now be able to start X

 Hello,

 Modprobe nvidia worked for me, when I do lsmod I see nvidia in the list.
 But when I set in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to use the driver nvidia
 There's said: no drivers available.

 What goes wrong?

 HTH,

Could you email me your XF86Config-4 and I will have a look for you

Apache-SSL + PHP

2003-03-03 Thread Rus Foster
Hi All,
I've just installed apache-ssl and that works fine. However PHP wasn't
enable by default so I edited httpd.conf but now when starting apache-ssl
I'm getting


PHP Fatal error:  Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0


Bug#112093 sees to cover this but it is closed. I ran  echo 33554432 
/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax but still no luck. Anyone got any ideas?

PHP works fine with normal apache

I had a very similar problem this morning. Try running maildirmake
~/Maildir for each user

http://talk.trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/exim_maildir_imap.shtml is also
quite helpful

Cyrus admin

2003-03-01 Thread Rus Foster
Hi All,
I've just installed cyrus-imapd and trying to use cyradm to add a user
using the following command

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cyradm -user rghf localhost
localhost password:

What is the localhost password? I've tried my login as well as root but
I'm guessing I missed something in the README

Cheers
