You should check the permission of /var/log (and the corresponding
subdirectories for Apache on CentOS).

 
 2. Also service command is not installed
 
 root@ip /]# service httpd start
 bash: service: command not found
 
 [root@ip-xx ]#
 
 How to install service ?

This might be due to the PATH environment variable; could you please
try /sbin/service httpd start? In any case, I don't believe this is
the cause of your trouble.

Thanks.

 If you monitor those archives, you'll notice they miss few mails. The best
 solution is to enable the archives on the server. And, its not lkml, or any
 other high traffic list, nor it allows posting of attachments. Maybe host the
 archive on a DoubleSpace[1] compressed filesystem to save disk-space.

(Not exactly relevant, but) FWIW, I like using the Gmane interface a

 If you observe Gmane for a month or two, and I'm sure you'll notice some
 missed mails, no updates to the archive for a day or two. And If you didn't
 notice this, then you're not using Gmane a lot ;).

No. I am subscribed to the list, but like to refer to Gmane for old

These are frivolous reasons, but reasons all the same.

For one, I can read it for pleasure (I have heard good things about
the IX and X Hindi textbooks). But more importantly, you really
needn't wait for the textbooks to be printed before the academic
year. Having been a CBSE student in less-than-metro towns, I have
experienced delays in NCERT textbooks being available in time before
the start of school. At least now, I can print out the first chapter
and/or get it photo copied (I hope that is legal).

And, in any case, there isn't any _harm_ in making PDFs of the books
available. Who knows, with e-book readers entering the market, we
could envision people taking a single e-book reader to school, rather
than having to carry a school bag with loads of books!

conio.h: from the Wikipedia article:
Most C compilers that target UNIX and Linux do not have this header
and do not supply the concomitant library functions. Some embedded
systems are using conio-compatible library.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conio.h for details.

As for your cout and cin errors, you should either specify them with
their namespaces, e.g. as std::cin and std::cout, or allow inclusion
of all the standard library namespace labels without having to
explicity refer to them by saying

using namespace std;

somewhere near the top of the file.

HTH.

 So, let me get this straight. You find the efforts of full-time 
 dedicated Canonical staff contributing back to Debian ok. Your problem 
 is with the *users* not contributing back to Debian? And that surprises 
 you? 

I think you are getting it wrong. It is just the maintainer should
push back changes to upstream, whether it is the original software
author, or even better, Debian, in this case. While Debian has set up
some infractructure to take what is made available from Ubuntu
(e.g. patches from Ubuntu are visible on Debian QA pages). However, it
is just that they could be done better, and in a more proactive
manner. For example, some Ubuntu maintainers (or whatever you call
them) forward bugs in Ubuntu packages to the Debian packages' bug
tracking system with patches, which is very much appreciated since
things can be kept in sync more easily than using a monolithic patch
from patches.ubuntu.com etc.

Several Ubuntu contributors are also members of Debian packaging teams
(e.g. Debian Python Teams) and keep their packages in both archives in
sync. This takes them virtually no extra time and effort, and makes a
larger number benefit.

 But I think VLC doesn't require any codecs to be installed separately.
 Isn't that the whole premise/benefit of VLC that codecs are built in?

Oh, I was not aware of that (my knowledge on multimedia is very
poor). In any case, the debian-multimedia packages are needed for
mplayer, so if VLC doesn't work, you could probably give them a try.
