Re: final php question?

[Post, Mark K]

You have to query the real package names, not the name of the software:
rpm -q mod_php4
rpm -q mod_php4-core
rpm -q phplib

If you want to see them all: rpm -qa | grep php

thanks to much help across the list, i've successfully met all the

mod_php4-core, successfully installed
mod_php4, successfully installed

rpm -q php show "package php not installed"

when i search for php in the index of the suse distro cds, the only one i
haven't installed is phpdoc...

These are also in ELF format, and contain the ELF
architecture flag.  A new kernel won't help here though,
you'll need a new linker (binutils).

The ELF architecture flag is generated by:
 - the assembler (for object files)
 - the linker (for object files, shared object, and executables)

It is read / verified by:
 - the linker (for object files)
 - the dynamic loader (for shared libraries)
 - the kernel (for executables)
 - the insmod and modprobe tools (for kernel modules)

So, if you want to upgrade your system so that it can cope
with the new ELF architecture flag for S/390, you'll need
 - binutils (assembler, linker)
 - glibc (dynamic loader)
 - modutils (insmod, modprobe)
 - kernel

However, even this might not be enough to use binary
applications built on SLES 7 (or similar) with SuSE 7.0
(or similar):  the compiler has changed from gcc 2.95.2
to 2.95.3, which means the C++ ABI and C++ standard
libraries have changed in an incompatible way.  So if
the app in question uses C++, you'll also need the
new compiler and its libraries.

As this means to replace basically *all* of the core
components of the distribution, I'd say it would probably
be simpler to just upgrade to the new distribution ...

Ulrich

"How'd he do that?"  Easy - everytime someone hands me a
set of Linux CD-ROMs or .iso files, make an index file:

mkdir cd1 cd2 cd3 /* ... ad nauseum */
... insert cd 1 ...
mount /mnt/cdrom cd1
find cd1 -ls >>~/cdindex/suse-sles7-supported-2002-03-25.cdindex
umount /mnt/cdrom
... insert cd 2 ...
mount /mnt/cdrom cd2
find cd2 -ls >>~/cdindex/suse-sles7-supported-2002-03-25.cdindex
umount /mnt/cdrom
... etc ...

which leaves me with a file that looks like:

The base Linux clock is in UTC as seconds since Midnight 1/1/1970. The
kernel itself has no notion of "time zone" or "daylight savings". Instead
the time you see depends on home your time zone variables are said

eg try

TZ=GMT date
TZ=Europe/London date

This recongizes that multiple users may be in different time zones (and
likewise the locale handling allows different languages, sorting etc per
user)

Linux and Daylight Savings time

[Wolfe, Gordon W]

Does anyone know if Linux running under VM automatically changes time from
standard to daylight?  I presume Linux reads the system clock directly (GMT)
and ignores a "CP SET TIMEZONE".

Using SuSE 2.4.7.  I have
GMT="-u"and
TIMEZONE="PST8PDT"
set in /etc/rc.config

Are we going to have to shut down and restart all of our Linux servers to
get daylight savings?

Re: Imprints - worth the effort?

[Post, Mark K]

Mike,

I haven't used imprints at all.  Based on what I see at the project page, I
understand your concern.  There hasn't been any documented project activity
for about 7 months or so.  Interestingly enough, though, there have been
nearly 100 downloads in the last week alone, and over 5,000 total.  Only 6
problems reported over the life of the project.  So, the code may very well
be pretty good, but it doesn't look like any active development or support
is happening.

Mark Post

P.S. Note that the 'signing' is not of the drivers themselves, but of the
packages containing the drivers.  The project isn't guaranteeing anything
about the content of the drivers, only that the packages you download are
the ones the project put out there in the first place.

There will always be some lag.  If you look at

Many of them are security related.  I don't see a PHP update there, however,

Taking the easy route out (since this is really a theolgical
discussion), I checked the Red Hat 7.2 source RPMs for Apache,
GCC (2.96 and 3.0), Perl, PHP, and Samba (couldn't easily locate
proftp). There were many differences from the stock downloads,
none of which would be clear without examining the spec files
in the source RPMs:

1) The Apache source RPM contains 9 patches beyond the
   1.3.20 level, changes the default config files during
   setup, specifies 8 interesting-looking configuration
   options, and wires Apache into the /etc/rc.d facility.

2) The GCC 2.96 source RPM contains 4 additional source
   components (including two tar files) and an astonishing
   334 patches beyond the 2.96 level, and specifies 9
   interesting-looking configuration options.

3) The GCC 3.0 source RPM contains 16 patches beyond the 3.0.2
   level, and specifies 3 interesting-looking configuration
   options.

4) The Perl source RPM contains 10 patches beyond the 5.6.0
   level, specifies 11 interesting-looking configuration options,
   and generates a bunch of header and doc files during
   installation.

5) The PHP source RPM contains 7 patches beyond the 4.0.6
   level, and specifies 35 interesting-looking configuration
   options.

6) The Samba source RPM contains 14 patches beyond the 2.2.1a
   level, and specifies 8 interesting-looking configuration
   options.

Red Hat isn't alone in this, I've seen it time and again with all
the major distributions.  And it's a good thing - many of these
patches are important, and the source RPM mechanism makes it
patently obvious that you're receiving post-shipment maintenance
in them.

I stand by my statement that you need to go to your distribution
for replacement packages.  You run the risk of losing function or
unfixing bugs during "upgrades" if you don't.

That support isn't in SuSE 7.0 with a 2.2.16 kernel. You need to upgrade
to a 2.4.? kernel or SuSE SLES7 (which includes a 2.4.7 kernel).

That's because you're running a 2.2 kernel.  You need to update your
parmfile, re-run silo, and reboot your system.

I hope not to be repetitive!

I've got SuSE 7.0 running in a LPAR that I need to add some volumes to.
It currectly has only dasda & dasdb, and I need to add 8 new volumes.

I've attepted the echo "add" regiment, and I get no new dasd? assignments.

Is there another option I'm missing. I would like to add cuaddr=09CC-09D3.

Re: I would like to relocate my IPL pack!

[Gustavson, John (ECSS)]

You need to add 2 more mini disks to the VM machine.  You need to edit zipl.conf with 
the new addresses.  Then you need to run zipl to update your boot text, and parm 
files.  Then you need to re-boot
with the 2 new mini disks.  Then you need to format one of these disks in yast.  Then 
mount this disk, and copy / to it.  To avoid more work then necessary, I would change 
the VM machine to reflect
the new mini disk at the old root's mini disk's virtual address.  This way you will 
not have to change zipl.conf's root parm, and your /etc/fstab.  Make sure you get the 
VM machine's virtual address's
right or you will not be able to boot and I would re-addressing the new swap mini disk 
also.  Then when you re-boot for the first time you can format the new swap disk.

Re: WebSphere 4

[Steve Guthrie]

Yes.

1. When installing DB2 don't use the examples.  Use common sense and make
sure you read the instructions carefully.
2. Make sure the installation medium you use is consistent with you
operating system.  Watch for mistakes in upper and lower case.
3. Make sure the installation has an X-Windows environment.  I used VNC and
it saved the day.  You do not need KDE or Gnome.
4. Call IBM Support.  These guys are the best.

If you have any questions about any aspect of this, call me or write me.  I
think that WebSphere on L390 is great.  I'll let you know if it is better
than Apache/Tomcat next.

Greetings;

If you are updating your software there must be a reason. Probably the new
version has a feature or a fix that you want or really need. That is you
aren't
doing it just for giggles.

In which case there are no "good things" as have been supposed.

A quick survey of the major distribution sites this morning reveals that in
most cases
the vendors do not have current binary or source rpms. According to the
dates on many
of the files I would guess that it is the version that was jused in the
last distribution and
is not likely to change until the next distribution is built. Or there
happens to be a need
to fix a serious security problem.

I checked Apache, gcc, Perl, PHP, proftp(d) and samba on three vendors
sites. That is
a 6x3 matrix, 18 points. In only one case was the vendor current with the
packages home
site.

So, always check the distribution vendor site first. But if you absoultely,
positively have to
have the current version, be prepared for the familiar  ./configure && make
&& make install
sequence.

Good Luck!
Dennis

In addition to all the good things Mark mentions, you'll also avoid
one of the Dark Sides of Linux: accidental patch-regression.  Each
distribution vendor adds patches to the "standard" packages that they
feel are appropriate.  So if you rebuild from a source RPM (SRPM) that
came from the same vendor, you won't lose those patches.

Re: Guest lan problems on RedHat 2.4.9-17

My first guess would be that you need to inform the chandev interface of
your devices.  Last month, Carlos Ordonez gave a pointer to an IBM Redbook
that talks about this
(http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg246515.pdf), and excerpted
the instructions pertinent to the problem.  Substitute the device numbers
appropriate to your system.
echo 'noauto ' >>/proc/chandev
echo 'qeth0,0x0e30,0x0e31,0x0e32,0,0 '>/proc/chandev

Make sure you have the most recent QDIO drivers AND most recent z/VM service
applied.  Apparently, the virtual hipersockets stuff was a moving target for
a while, and some versions of the driver were looking for a different device
id than was supplied by the early code in VM. This is exactly the symptom
for this problem.

OK, I've found the bug; it is a known problem which we fixed
in an alpha patch on developerWorks 02/2001:

In some cases, in leaf functions that use call-saved floating
point registers would not correctly restore the original value
before returning.  The caller would then find its registers
clobbered ...

The fix has been integrated into the SuSE gcc updates with
rpm level gcc-2.95.2-161.  You can find gcc rpms suitable
for updating a SuSE 7.0 GA system at
  ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/s390/update/7.0/

(You'll want d1/gcc* and d1/gpp* at least.)

Lionel,

You didn't answer my question, you just repeated the same statement that
generated my question.  :(

If you want to add a DASD volume to a 2.2 system, you need to update your
parmfile by adding the device number to _the end_ of the "dasd="
parameter,
re-run silo, and reboot your system.

If you want to add a DASD volume to a 2.4 system, you can either do the
above, or to do it dynamically:
echo "add device range=devno-range ">>/proc/dasd/devices
echo "set device range=devno-range on ">>/proc/dasd/devices
cat /proc/dasd/devices to see what device names got assigned (/dev/dasd?)
dasdfmt them
fdasd them if cdl format was specified (or defaulted)
mke2fs them
mount them
update your parmfile and re-run silo to make the changes permanent.  If
you
don't do this, the volumes will "go away" at the next system reboot.

Note the trailing blanks on the "echo" commands.  These are necessary due
to
a bug in the interface.
Note also that on a 2.4 system, if you run dasdfmt on a device, and do
_not_
specify the disk layout, you will get the "cdl" layout, which means you
will
have to run fdasd before mke2fs.

This information can be found at
http://linuxvm.org/present/SHARE98/S5554mp.pdf (slide 22).

Re: Suse on 390 install problem

[Maciej Księżycki]

Not quite true. I tried a couple of FTP servers on my Win2K box for installing SuSE on 
S/390 and they failed, indeed. Finally I used War FTP Daemon on my Win2K box  and it 
worked perfectly. It's freeware so you might want just look it up on the net. Or I 
might send it to you, if you want.

The problem is that some SuSE install files' names begin with a dot (like ".boot" for 
instance) and most FTP-servers for Windows are not able to interpret such filenames 
correctly. However, War FTP Daemon has no problems with it.

Also, be very careful when stating paths to your FTP archive. Are you sure you should 
use drive letters ?
Have you defined an anonymous user and granted it privileges ?

Don't use a windows box as your FTP server as it won't support the
"Rockridge" extensions that are needed to access all files on the CD (or =
CD
image). (This is not addressing your original problem but will save your
arse down the line. Usually for FTP servers under windows - at least the
one's I've used - you specify a "root" for the server when configuring. =
For
example, the one my machine equates c:\work\download to /, so when a user
comes in they start at that point.)
