I am running the RPM installation of Apache 1.3.14 on RedHat 7.0, for some
reasons, I have to get additional support and most articles on the Internet
said that I have to re-compile the source code.
Detail: I need to connect PHP (from Linux) to MS SQL (on NT/w2000) under
Apache, so I have to install the Sybase driver and everything has to get
re-compiled as I was told.
The problem:
-
I downloaded all the source code, and compiled it followed the instructions.
Now, I found that the installation was TOTALLY different from RPM. for
example, the Apache config file is located somewhere and it didn't install
the service in /etc/init.d/httpd
Even worst, I didn't even get it working. Got some error message in the log
file.. still couldn't fix it. even lookup apache FAQ. (RPM was so much
easier)
Questions:
---
RPM supposes to make people's life easier, but feel like I don't have enough
support. Everyone in these newsgroup or articles on the Internet tell me to
re-compile the source code instead. Oh man... it is a pain. I am just a web
designer trying to get a web server going. These stuffs wasted all my time.
Why can't people just release some binary for RedHat, download it and plug
and play? or have sort of install shield shit like Windows?
As you wrote, cause it's shit...
Can anyone tell
me why? Linux makes newbie's life difficult.
Honestly, Apache has tons of modules/options to get the latest and greates version
with all bells an whistles you need, recompiling from sources is most times strongly
recommended, because no rpm version is available.
Sure, it's sometimes difficult, but no one said that Linux would be easy, it's just
working as expected if you setup everything right...:-)
Try this compile guide, others are available (search google), read the README/INSTALL
files that come with all sources you need, if you still encouter problems, ask in the
proper ng, include what you want to achive, what you have (exactly) done and all error
messages you get, I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

: You must reboot first.
: fdisk told you to do this.
: mke2fs gets it's information form /proc/partitions and this is not yet
: updated
I see. It works now. A side note on linux fdisk. I find the
output of fdisk confusing (compared to the old BSD fdisk) since
it lists hard disk devices (/dev/hdax) instead of partition numbers.
No it lists partition numbers, but it is the one tool that doesn't read
/proc for it's information. It directly reads the table from HDD.
Later fdisk asks for a partition number but you have no idea but guessing
which partition number you want to choose.
four primary partitions: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4
one of these can be an extended partition.
The logical partitions inside this extended partition, are numbered hda5 and
up
There's no confusion if you ask me, but I may not have understood your
question

Hi
A friend of mine phoned and said he is having a message on his RedHat 6.0
Linux server.
His Linux guru has left the country a few weeks ago and now he is facing
this error message on his server :
Exec : /usr/man/man4/squid : cannot execute : No such file or directory
This message appears at least 10 times, then he gets this :
INIT : Id "pa" respawning too fast : disabled for 5 minutes
Since I am also new to Linux I asked him to reboot his server.
However the same message appears after the reboot.
What is this squid? I found in /etc/passwd an account with this same name..
But my friend tells me no one uses this account.
Can this be a hacker?
Thanks in advance for your help for tracking this bizarre message

I guess the point of all this is simple... RPM is not a bad way
to package files, but some sort of automatic system for dependencies
is sorely needed. It would even be enough for it to (at least
temporarily) to have a slightly longer depends field, which could
be used by the developoer to add the name of a package that would
contain the file that would fulfill the dependency. Not a perfect
solution, but I would say that it would help out a lot...

I've also checked on Deja and found an old message from

Has anyone been able to build php4 on RH7.0? I keep getting
/usr/bin/ld: .libs/libphp4.so: undefined versioned symbol name
__ns_name_unpack@@GLIBC_2.1
at the final link stage everytime, whether I do a dynamic or static
build. I've tried
1) using the glibc 2.1.95 that came on the RH 7.0 CDs
2) upgrading to glibc 2.2.1-3
2b) rebuilt glibc 2.2.1-3 completely from src RPM
3) using gcc 2.95.2
4) various combos of apache PHP including Apache 1.3.12 PHP 4.0.3
which built just fine on RH 6.2
5) using another RH7 system in case I'd screwed up my RH7 installation
Same result everytime. Anyone know where this
__ns_name_unpack@@GLIBC_2.1 sysmbol comes from, or better still, how to
get rid of it?
Sak,
I don't think it is a php problem.
First have you tried just installing the rpms for php4 from the redhat
site or the upgrade site( say
fr.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/7.0/updates.
You could also get the src rpms and build them on your machines. I know
they contain redhat-specific patches.
I have had no problem building php on RH7. My guess is that somehow
you're glibc upgrades got botched. First did you run ldconfig after
upgrading; that might help.
The symbol you're looking for "__ns_name_unpack" occurs in several
libraries, for example
libresolv.so.2,libnss_dns.so
On this RH7 box, which I update all the time
if I do
#rpm -qf /usr/lib/libnss_dns.so
glibc-devel-2.2-12
#nm /usr/lib/libnss_dns.so|grep __ns_name_unpack
U __ns_name_unpack@@GLIBC_2.1
You can also try using "objdump -T" on some of these libs as well.
Just to get you started.

Could someone give me directions on how to setup an NT XWindows Client

I'm just basically trying to display my XWindows session on my NT box.
You got it the wrong way around.
The X server must be running on your NT box,
the clients can be running on the linux box, displaying their X output on
the server.
So look for a X server for NT.
I use Exceed at the office (not-free), but there are free alternatives
IIRC
If anybody knows of a working and free X-server for NT (or even W95/98),
tell us! AFAIK, there are none.
There are plenty. Take a look at Kenton Lee's website at
http://www.rahul.net/kenton/xsites.html
He lists a boatload of X servers for NT/W98/W95, along with everything
else you would want about X.

You might want to look up the stuff in "The Bell System Technical

these, possibly on inter-library loan. This is a two-volume issue and
you will probably want both volumes. I no longer remember what is in

You might want to borrow it before you buy it because it may not be

Sorry but his is really funny, you deleted /dev/null, once I read an amusing

Honestly, you don't need to recompile your kernel, not even reboot...:-)
you can create a new /dev/null with mknod

mknod --mode=0666 /dev/null c 1 3
Should do the trick...:-)
It is a good thing he discovered the error. Imagine if he did not. The
first person with sufficient permission might do {run process that
produces infinite output} /dev/null and that would create an
ordinary file there.

Well that's good news; it means there's hope... ldconfig; yes did that
several times.
The symbol you're looking for "__ns_name_unpack" occurs in several
libraries, for example
libresolv.so.2,libnss_dns.so
On this RH7 box, which I update all the time
if I do
#rpm -qf /usr/lib/libnss_dns.so
glibc-devel-2.2-12
I'm currently at 2.2.1-3 but I did also try glibc-2.2-12 previously.
#nm /usr/lib/libnss_dns.so|grep __ns_name_unpack
U __ns_name_unpack@@GLIBC_2.1
The "U" means the symbol is referenced but not defined, no? Isn't that
what the linker was moaning about? As far as I can tell that symbol is
not defined in any lib on my system. I can find definitions of
__ns_name_unpack in libbind.a and libresolv.a (both of which are
included in the link, by the way), but not the version specific to
GLIBC_2.1.
I don't understand where this explicit reference to glibc 2.1 comes from
anyway because I rebuilt, from scratch, glibc 2.2.-3 from the src RPM on
a system which had glibc-2.2-12 installed. Weird!

Moreover:
-with gpm in use with the "MouseSystems" protocol, mouse don't work;
-XFree86 don't work with "Mouse device" on /dev/ttyS0 in XF86Config,
even if gpm is killed;
-XFree86 crashes if selected mouse protocol 'Auto' in XF86Config;
-gpm and XFree86 don't works with the "Microsoft" and others protocols;
-Serial ports are know at boot system:
ttyS0 at 0x03f8, irq=4, UART 16550A
ttyS1 at 0x02f8, irq=3, UART 16550A;
-There isn't any modem installed on system;

-Mouse don't work even with Slackware 7.0 installed;
-In file /proc/interrupts appear IRQ 4 serial if gpm is in use and don't

-In file /proc/ioports don't have conflicts;
-Same software configuration on Pentium 150 and Slackware 3.5 or 7.0 and

-I have already consult man pages and howto's docs for gpm, XFree86,

Fairly likely not, unless you are exceedingly lucky. When a file is
"overwritten," this tends to result in the formerly occupied blocks
getting tossed onto some form of "free list," eventually to be
reclaimed and used for some other purpose.
If it has been a while since the "overwriting," and you have made
quite a lot of changes to files on the filesystem involved, then it is
fairly likely that the old version has been overwritten.
If that be the case, recovery methods likely involve fairly ridiculous
extremes like hiring in security engineers to use things like electron
microscopes to pull signals off the hard drive. Down that road lies
costs of thousands of dollars...
More likely, you've lost the data, with no practical recourse. This
is a painful lesson that demonstrates the _necessity_ of doing regular
backups of important data.
There's a sad story (perhaps, but probably not, apocryphal) of a
graduate student that was nearing completion on a Ph.D thesis; shortly
before submission, there was a fire that burned his apartment, along
with the text of the thesis, as well as all his notes. There was
nothing to be done, as his thesis efforts became _ashes_. He could
not muster the funds or the emotional effort to restart the process,
and had to give up on the degree.
I had a disk crash, destroying the whole text, at about that same
point in my M.Sc, just as I was finalizing things. Fortunately, I was
_already_ paranoid, and had enough backups stashed away in different
cities for it to be a non-issue. [I lost more time out of the 6 days
it took to ship in a new drive than from anything else.]
By the way, your question doesn't seem likely to have much of anything
to do with Linux, as Lotus 123 is not an application known for running
on Linux...

Meeting Introduction:
-
The March 2001 Unigroup meeting is on Linux Clustering. The main
presentation will made by Jozef Skvarcek, Ph.D,, who is an end user of
Beowulf. He has designed Beowulf clusters and has designed and coded
applications to make use of them. Beowulf is a freely available
open-source add-on to Linux which provides support for multi-node
clustering. With such a cluster, a group of inexpensive machines can
appear to act as a single much larger system. Depending on the size of
the workload, the design of the application, and the horsepower and
number of cluster members, mainframe computing power can be achieved.
We also have another guest speaker, Andrew Flesch from TurboLinux. Andrew
will briefly describe TurboLinux's commercial closed-source multi-platform
(Unix, Linux, NT) clustering solution, EnFuzion, and describe how EnFuzion
cluster implementations differ from Beowulf cluster implementations.
For a good introduction to Beowulf, see the Beowulf Web site's
Introduction and Overview page listed below.

Caldera http://www.caldera.com has donated three "cartons" of
Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 for giveaways at Unigroup meetings. These
are full, boxed distributions (3 CDs + Manuals). OpenLinux is
a leading commercially supported Linux Operating System!
We gave out most of them at our January meeting, but we still
have some left to give out (raffle off) as door prizes at
this meeting.
Andrew Flesch of TurboLinux http://www.turbolinux.com should
be bringing a variety of giveaways to this meeting which should
include: White Papers, T-Shirts and CD-ROMs.
Unigroup appreciates Caldera's and TurboLinux's support!
