[expert] Apache database?
Hello, I am looking for a program to run on Mandrake that will emulate some of the same features on the Apache server as ColdFusion... Specifically, I need to create a password-protected area on a website that allows users to search a database of professionals based on state, name, etc., and display the results. This list is currently generated by exporting a dbase format from a database program. Also need a method of having a password-protected area where people can upload and download files, entering their own descriptions. I searched Fresh Meat, but didn't see anything that hit my eye. Any ideas? Bob
[expert] imwheel
I'm still searching for a solution for my XMMS and other multimedia programs problem (sound comes only from rear speakers). But now I have another problem. I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse (I only love keyboards and mice of Microsoft :) ). I'm using its wheel in KDE and some other applications without any problems. But I cannot use it in Netscape 4.77. Then I've tried to load imwheel and it worked. But when imwheel is loaded the other applications, which do not need imwheel, cannot work with wheel properly. For example, after I've loaded imwheel, KMail can only scroll mail view. But without imwheel, it can scroll also the folders tree, etc. I've tried to change imwheelrc file. I've written @Exclude for any programs except Netscape, but it didn't work. Thanks for your replies. - Serdar __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[expert] environment variables not being set
Prior to Mdk 8.0, I had several environment variables being set in my .bash_profile after switching to 8.0 they nolonger seem to work when logging in thru kdm. If I log in thru the console then do a startx everything seems to work (as it should, since the vars are set), but when logging in thru kdm they are not set. The questions are why is .bash_profile not being run when logging in thru xdm? what is different about logginf in thru xdm in 8.0 that was not there in prior releases And the big question is -- how do I fix it? -- Alex Kernel Panic is General Failure's second in command
[expert] LM8.0 and RPMs
Hi, I had some problem installing LM8.0 (and I didn't install it yet!!!). Now I installed LM7.2 and I would like to update some packages (KDE, XFree, etc.)...the problem is that LM7.2 doesn't read the RPM packages on the LM8.0 installation media. The questions are: - Does the RPM format changed between LM7.2 and LM8.0? - EasyCD burned the ISO image well but, is it possible that Getright messed it up as I downloaded different segments from different mirrors (this would explain also why I'm able to boot from the CD but the installation stops with "strange" errors)?

[expert] httpd.conf CGI Problems
I'm using an Mandrake 6.5 on a small computer. The problem that I am having with the apache config file is that I can't get apache to reconize CGI files as a exicutable program. If anyone has any ideas. Perl is exicutable, and PHP is reconized as plain text, not exicutable either. Thank you Mike _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
[expert] Computer crash
I have got success compiling and loading ltmodem.o 5.78e & 5.95 from http://www.heby.de/ltmodem on Mandrake 8.0, Mandrake 7.2. and Redhat 6.2. But after dialing ISP (wvdial, kppp) after aprox. 10 sec of browsing computer freezes. I tried to lspci -vv, which reports IRQ sharing. I change my pci cards in slots, so now modem does not share IRQ with other card, tried to remove all unnecesary modules, disable onboard serial ports and usb support, change VGA card, but freezing lasts anyway... I have feeling that this happen when browser is loading graphics(?) and on console in framebuffer mode (lynx) everything works good. The same behaviour in win98, but removing other cards or reinstalling windows helped. cat /proc/interrupts, cat /proc/iomem, cat /proc/ioport reports seem ok - no conflicts. I found no error messages in /var/log/messages I am using VIA MVP3 motherboard with 3 PCI + 1 AGP slots: TV card with BT787, Sound Blaster 128 PCI, AGP VGA TNT2, Microcom interal/L modem, no ISA nor PCMCIA cards, 196MB ram.

Re: [expert] I'm confused... - no space lefdt on device?
Nope...no files. I found the file(s) responsible for eating up the diskspace. they were tmp files related to a MySQL process that had been running. I've got some rather large databases on this system and the tmp files generated by them while running SQL against them are rather large. I've got the same database on a Mandrake server at work and MySQL is doing the same thing there with one exception. Something happened and a "kcore" file was deposited in /proc that is now responsible for filling the "/" to capacity and I can't delete the sucker. The system won't permit it's deletion. I'm at somewhat of a loss as to how to handle this one. It's so full I can't even send an email message with Pine because the system doesn't have enough room left to write the scratch file to send the message.

Uhm, I think you might be answering the wrong question. Those sound like instructions for booting off of an onboard RAID controller. The question is about lm_sensors. Agree on the quality of the onboard RAID controllers though, I don't have the RAID version of the Iwill board. I got a 3ware card instead. It smokes :-)
Re: [expert] lm_sensors and KT7 RAID
Here is how I did it: - Install the RedHat 7.1 lm_sensors package: lm_sensors-2.5.5-3 - run sensors-detect. I'm pretty sure I just accepted all the defaults here. It will ask you to modify your modules.conf & and init script. - Install the gkrellm package from the second install CD - launch gkrelllm - right-click on the gkrellm frame and go into configure - expand the builtins tree and click on sensors. If lm_sensors isn't installed properly, you won't see a sensors menu item. - On my board I enter 'cpu' in the space next to the line "via-686a-isa-6000/temp1" and 'mb' in the space next to the line "via-686a-isa-6000/temp2" There is more detail in the man page. My fan stuff isn't working yet, but I noticed today that it doesn't show up in the bios either. So there may be something wrong with my fan or MB :-( It is a 3 wire lead on the fan. I'd really like to get KHealthcare working though. It can shutdown your system if your temps or fan speeds get out of bounds. Important for AMD chips!

[newbie] DHCP problem in 8.0
About a week ago (when my PC was down, and I had to access my email from another PC) I saw a message posted that dealt with DHCP, wherein the poster said to add a line or two into some file somewhere to aid getting online via DHCP...I thought I'd saved it, but apparently no. Now my PC is finally back up and running (thanks again, Mark Weaver!), but I still can't get online in 8.0 - while I had no problem whatsoever getting on in 7.2.

The launcher appears in the panel but after a logout and login it doesn't reappear (I don't have to prompt on logout and my session isn't automatically saved although it doesn't work when my session is automatically saved or I explicitly save my session). Currently I only have launchers that I setup under mdk 7.2 (when I migrated my user). Even if I create a new user and do the same stuff under that user (a fresh gnome setup) this doesn't work either. Has anyone else had any experience of this? I filed it as bug report 3456 at https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/show_bug.cgi?id=3456 but it only seems to be have assigned to someone...

[expert] Konqueror 2.1: Using Windows Fonts
(Mandrake 7.2 with MandrakeFreq update, kde 2.1) I've loaded some Windows fonts into Linux using DrakFont. I can look at them in preview mode in DrakFont, but I don't know how to get them "over" to Konqueror -- Konqueror (as a browser) seems to have a much smaller list of fonts. Is there something else I must do to make fonts available to Konqueror? Thanks, Randy Kramer

Craig,
Thank you...that information helps me make sense of a few things, but now
I'm really stumped cause all that being the case what the heck is eating
up all the space on the "/"? I can't find any large files anywhere except
there, and this whole thing started yesterday on this machine just after a
run-away MySQL process took off. I had to reboot the machine to kill the
process and /dev/hda1 ("/") has been at 99% since then. Since this has
only happened once before AND on a Mandrake system I'm really at a loss as
to what to do about it.

One way to do that is to 'chmod 711 /var/log/junkbuster' (I think its 711), hopefully you won't have to chmod 755 it! However, I think this and the next thing will involve different changes, so: Also, you may not want junkbuster running as nobody. I don't remember exactly what the instructions said, but I'm sure someone here on the list can pass that along... And your changes for making nobody have access :-) to the log will be different than what you'd do to make junkbuster not run as nobody So I'd shoot for changing userid of junkbuster - assuming others here have real info about what the install instructions said (shoot - you could probably go look too ;-) rc Rusty Carruth Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: (480) 345-3621 SnailMail: Schlumberger ATE FAX: (480) 345-8793 7855 S.

The only other thing /I/ can think of has already been suggested. I had
a 7.2 box with a runaway logrotate, and had about a kazillion
.gz.1.gz.gz.gz files in the /var/log/mail and /var/log/news
directories. (kazillion = "enough files so that `rm -rf *' died with
'Too many parameters'")
Someone far smarter than me can probably elaborate on this, but you
might try using `find' to have a look at what is taking up so much
space:
find /var -type f -size 100k -name "*"
You can tweak the size parameter for something bigger/smaller to your
taste. Or you can change /var to / to get the whole mess of files.

[expert] Random freezing in 8.0
I'm having a very odd problem after installing ML8.0. I first installed it via FTP (Cooker), but yesterday installed from the CD-set from CheapBytes (T-something), and both give me the same results. :( At different points, the system will just freeze up completely. The mouse and keyboard won't respond, and the screen is frozen as well. Lastly, the HDD light on my case stays on, but I can hear no disk access. This will happen on bootup, at various times during INIT; while X/KDE is loading; after using X for a couple minutes; after an hour or so in X; and even after leaving the computer on in console mode for 23 hours, then booting X and having it freeze in about one minute. I can't find any correlation between what the system is doing and why it is freezing. I've tried turning off crond and anacrond, along with many other services, but it still does it. It also does it in both the XFree 3.x.x as well as the new 4.0.x. Hardware: Shuttle HOT-603 mobo (AMD-640 chipset) K6-233 128MB SDRAM Matrox Millenium II vid (PCI 4MB VRAM) Maxtor 25GB UDMA HDD (mobo 1st IDE controller master) Pinelabs ATAPI 52X UDMA CDROM (mobo 2nd IDE controller master) Sound Blaster AWE 64 Gold (ISA PnP) Linksys 10/100 PCI NIC (Tulip-based) Logitech keyboard and optical wheel PS/2 mouse External Hayes 56K modem (run from mobo's COM2) Canon BJC-7004 Printer (run from mobo's LPT1/EPP1.9) Oh, I have used RedHat Linux in the past on thie machine with no problems, as well as Windows95 OSR2 and Windows NT4. If you need more info, please just ask. I really want to solve this, as this computer is destined to be our church's file/printer/web server, so it needs to... not randomly crash. ;) Thanks in advance! Solomon

Re: [expert] lm_sensors and KT7 RAID
FWIW, I also posted details of setting up lm_sensors & gkrellm. It doesn't seem to have shown up yet though. This seems to be the worst list I've ever participated in as far as implementation & responsiveness (responsiveness of the system, not the participants!) Anyway, I finally got my fan speed working in gkrellm. Took longer then it should have because I didn't realize it alternated between cpu temp & fan speed. If I had watched it for a little longer... My fan speed was way off though. It read about 1100 for a Volcano II which thermaltake says is a 4500 RPM fan. The temps are good, so I assume that the fan speed is nominal. So I bumped up the multiplier to read 4500. Any idea how to validate the temperature reading though? Mine is in the expected range. I guess that's good enough. As for KHealthcare. I've had no luck compiling or with rpms. I sent an e-mail to the developer, but got no response. That either means he's hard at work on it, or doesn't care.

Re: [expert] I'm confused... - no space lefdt on device?
as root, "cd /" and "du|sort -rn|less" May take a while as will list
and sort every file on the disk according to size, largest at the top.
Note that it will include directory totals which is ok as you can pick
up large numbers of small files that way such as occurs with the
logrotate and mail problems of the past (which will take forever to
list/sort!).

Re: [expert] I'm confused... - no space lefdt on device?
Dean, At present everything on my home system is fine, however the server at work that is almost a mirror of the system i've got here at home is not feeling so well. both system are running reiserfs. The server at work though has run out of space on the "/" (root) and I can't for love or money find out why. I've been all over that file system and after spending the better part of all day today have not been able to find the file that is eating up all the space on the root. the nearest I can come is that it's counting what is in /var (/dev/hdb1) as part of the "/" (root) file system. The root lives on /dev/hda1 and /var is on it's own hdd. I did that on purpose mostly because of past experience of running out of room in /var as the FTP, HTTP, and Database needs grow. Which is what's happening. /var or /dev/hdb1 is 1.7GB in size and is only at 22% used. The '/' or /dev/hda1 is a 428MB partition with /bin4.5M /boot 6M /dev266K /etc16M /lib36M /misc 0 /net0 /opt512 /proc 1.6M /root 49M /sbin 6.7M /tmp75M living on it. /usr /home and /var are all on their own partitions. for obvious reasons. now, i don't know what i'm missing here but where i went to school these numbers don't come anywhere near adding up to 426M. It just isn't going to happen. So, what the heck is going on I wonder? -- Mark * "what knowledge I have managed to accumlate over the years at times becomes obscured and even hidden amidst the vast emotional onslaught of my children.

Re: [expert] Word Perfect 8 Installation--SOLVED!
Thanks to Marcel Pol for providing a solution to my dilemna! The solution is posted below in the hope that it might assist someone else! George ** Reply to message from Marcel Pol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on Wed, 16 May 2001 19:21:01 +0200 Marcel, Thanks for the information! I had already gotten the latest cooker libc5 rpm, but didn't know about the requirement for the ld.so rpm as well. I was able to find a cooker package for ld.so as well on RPMFIND. It was the LACK of the ld.so package that was causing the installation problem. Thanks again!

[expert] xconsole
Does anyone have any hints or a config file to make xconsole work under X? I can't seem to get the right syntax to get it working. I always get "Couldn't open console" when I launch it with root. Thanks all. Ninetysix

Re: [expert] environment variables not being set
Hello, You need to change /bin/sh to /bin/bash in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession I believe. I have no idea why this would have changed from 7.2 to 8.0 but it was changed :) Sadin At 20:01 16/05/01, A V Flinsch wrote: >Prior to Mdk 8.0, I had several environment variables being set in my >.bash_profile after switching to 8.0 they nolonger seem to work when >logging in thru kdm.
