I assume you are using the pre-packaged PHP and Apache components (ala .rpm or .deb) If so, I would strongly suggest building both of these from the source. I build Apache and PHP from the source all the time because it gives me far greater control over how they are built and what's included. Typically, the preconfigured rpm stuff has problems beyond the "plain vanilla" expectations of those who create those packages. Here, I offer my typical configure settings for both to get you started. They are configured for a Red Hat/Fedora Core system. Modify at will to suit your tastes. You can, of course, download the source from the PHP and Apache websites. The big advantage of building these pups from the source is that the configure script automatically scans your system to see what's available, and will balk if it can't find something it absolutely needs, and typically configure alternatives if it can. Another big advantage is that you don't have to wait for the latest releases to find their way into the rpms or the debs. One of my scripts does a 'make' and a 'make install' after running 'configure'. You may consider removing the 'make' commands and run them manually. In short, make sure the scripts fits your needs before running them. As far as MySQL, I still rely on the .rpms but may get into building even that from the source, eventually.

Re: No Hosstraders?
Rats! Meant to send it to the list. Sorry, Ben...
So, what days and hours is the booth to be manned? There ought to be a
minimum of two people, and shifts of not-too-long a period: morning,
afternoon, evening? Make up some rules and post a grid like maddog had
for LinuxWorld, and I'll be glad to sign up for something. Thought
you'd be swamped with takers - apparently not.
RFC Rules and Schedule: - at least two people signed up at all times,
volunteers requested.
{Do booth bunnies get free admission?} {Probably not, but profits go to
the Shiners, so it's all in good cause...}
Additional people also welcomed. Please volunteer to bring something!
{What do we need? Laptop, distro CDs, power strips? }
Do we have any GNHLUG propoganda^H^H^H^H^H^H^H er fact sheets? Do we
have booth decorations, like a sign or banner? A giant inflatable
penguin?
Volunteers:

Hello LUGers,
I recently posted a message[1] here asking if there was any interest
in continuing the GNHLUG presence at Hosstraders. To date, I've
received two responses, and only one person really interested in
helping at the booth. So unless I receive an outpouring of
volunteerism in the next few days, I think we can officially call
GNHLUG's days at Hosstraders over. That doesn't have to be a bad
thing; Linux's growing popularity (and the increase in consumer
high-speed Internet) has largely eliminated the reasons we were there
in the first place.

Yes Hosstraders!
This is an amalgamated reply.
To those complaining that I gave up too easy:
It got a bunch of people to reply, didn't it?
To those who have responded:
*THANKS!!!*
To those wondering what Hosstraders is:
Sorry, I thought the recent traffic here was enough. Hosstraders, in it's
present form, is best described as "a flea market for geeks", although it
remains a hamfest (amateur radio gathering) at it's core. This spring, it
will take place at the Hopkinton State Fairgrounds (about 15 minutes West of
Concord), on Fri 6 May and Sat 7 May. More information can be found at
http://www.qsl.net/k1rqg/ ("official" site) and http://www.hosstraders.com/
(unofficial). It's fun, trust me.
Admission and costs:
No freebies. Heck, I'm not even sure we still have a spot reserved (I need
to contact maddog about that). But it's only $5 to get in ($10 before 3PM on
Friday), and all the profit goes to help injured children. It doesn't get
much better then that. It's $10 for your own "seller's space", but GNHLUG's
own space (plus a little extra) will be covered. There's also a $10 fee for
overnight camping.
Qualifications:
A pulse. If you've used Linux, that's nice, too. Seriously, I'm asking
mainly for people to help evangelize Linux to a bunch of other geeks. I might
ask for someone to keep an eye on the both for a bit here and there (during
bio breaks and my own 'osstrading), but not a lot of that.
People with radio experience are especially welcome.
Scheduling:
I will arrive there no later then 7 PM Friday, and hope to be there first
thing in the AM. (Depends what my boss says.) I will be there all day
Saturday. Anyone is welcome anytime.
The busiest times (when help is most welcome) are Friday after 5 PM and
Saturday up until the raffle. Things usually start to wrap up around noon on
Saturday, and by 2 or 3 it's a ghost town.
Selling stuff:
Hosstraders is largely about buying, selling, trading, and exchanging
"stuff". I think I've seen just about everything except human organs for sale
at Hosstraders. For the GNHLUG booth, if we have space leftover (and we
usually do), we generally let GNHLUG'ers put their "stuff" up for sale, with
the only restriction that it be in some way compatible with Linux. Space will
be somewhat limited, so if you're bringing a U-Haul be prepared to buy your
own space.
Monitor this frequency^W list for further updates.
Thanks again!

/sbin/shutdown -h now doesn't?
This seems to have been a problem for years on Linux, but I've never understood why. Every now and then I encounter a system where shutdown, reboot, or halt doesn't. It just spits a message back at you claiming the system is about to go down, but then nothing ever happens. Does anyone have any idea why? It's really agravating. Even more annoying is when you have 300+ machines, all running *exactly* the same install, and the hardware is mostly all the same (at least, there are groups of machines where the hw is identical) that, say, 30 machines all shutdown fine, but one refuses. Has anyone else ever noticed this *and* bothered to figure out why ? :) I'd love to know!

Does anyone have any idea why? It's really agravating. It's because at some point in your career, you've offended that machine, and it's holding a grudge. It simply doesn't like you.
