[EUG-LUG:210] Re: undoing damage from Demolinux
For those of you who use DemoLinux the box the had the problem had a Cyrix 150 chip. I would be interested in hearing if anyone had bad experiences with demolinux and other non AMD or Intel chips. The box I was using already had missing registry files so I did not destroy a working system. The disks were still accessible by using bootable floppies or CD's. While not strictly linux some might find this helpful if the have a hung Linux install.

It froze while defining a file system in RAM. I dida reboot and cannot access the windows drive under windows or dos. Norton emergency utilities recognizes the disk and the directories on the disk. I suspect the partition table or boot record may be messed up, but am not sure where to start. I am currently limited to e-mail for internet access. It wasn'tmy machine and we need to recover several files if possible from it. Does anybody have any ideas where to start? Jim K

I have an account on the box so I can just ssh/scp from it, but it would be nicer to be able use it in a more easy way (can I mount it?). If you expect serious amounts of traffic to the server from Unix clients, you might want to export it as an NFS volume. NFS has more Unixy filesystem semantics than SMB, and might perform better.

[EUG-LUG:212] SQL
Hi, I'm using Apache/PHP/MySQL to learn SQL. Besides dazzling people with my prowess, I'd like to be able to store digital pictures in the database. So far, I've gotten to the chapter that creates a form to type in a product code, description and price. Yawn. Does anyone know the SQL code to insert a binary file into a MySQL database? What type of field does it take? I didn't see mention of a blob. Maybe that's the next book. Thanks

Check out Photoshelf. It's a photo indexing application based on Apache, Perl, and PostgreSQL. I've set it up and indexed several hundred of our photos. http://photoshelf.sourceforge.net/ It's still rough, mostly because configuring Apache and PostgreSQL is rough. But it's worth checking out. There's a public demo here. http://www.cactii.net/perl/index.cgi/ Log in as guest, password is guest. -- Bob Miller Kbob kbobsoft consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I usually just store the image in the filesystem then call it from the webpage using PHP/SQL (via the name): img src="? $imagename; ?.gif" as a simple example. if you are trying to create a photo album then take a look at slooze (www.slooze.com). I have used it for my family photo album for over a year and am rather impressed with it. Also, the support is awesome and the code is well written. /frank
