RE: [newbie] /** How to install and compile apache and php in Linux Mandrake */
Here is what I did. I installed the development version of Mandrake. I couldn't ever get it to compile until some kind soul recommended installing the development version *always* since most things that you would want to use need to be compiled and without the appropriate support tools that are installed in the development install you are *screwed*. I removed (use rpm, rpmdrake etc.) the installed version of php3 just to be safe. I think they can coexist but *why*? Download the latest version from www.php.net untar it to someplace, I used /usr/share since that seemed to be where most things went. Follow the directions inside the readme. After compiling OK: Be sure to edit your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, near the end you will have to modify the path to where it loads the php module from something like: LoadModule php4_modulelib/apache/libphp4.so to LoadModule php4_module/usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so issue an apachectl restart to see if it works. If apache won't restart check your /var/log/httpd/error_log for details on why it's puking. If you want to get mysql access working at the same time be sure to use the appropriate --with-mysql option when running your configure script Good luck :) Regards, Ran Hooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: majid L [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 7:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] /** How to install and compile apache and php in Linux Mandrake */ Hi I am new in Linux Mandrake, I've just install it, now I need to install apache and php, please I will appreciate if you can show me how to do it, I have already downloaded apache and php in my windows 98, please would you tell me : 1) where to copy the binary files apache and php in Mandrake. 2)and where ( which directory) and how to install them ( I am newbie I have never install or compile in Linux, this will be my first time).

Re: [newbie] 7.1 Upgrade MBR of HDA (Torrey)
Torrey My reference to installing Lilo on hdc was if you were using SC to boot your OSes not if you were going to use Lilo to do so and even then you have to manually add it to SC. I also have a triple boot system. My main boot loader is Grub. It gives me the boot options of linux, safe, windows, or floppy. If I choose to boot Windows it gives me the Win 2000 bootloader where I can choose to boot either Win2000 or Win98.I installed in this order 1)Win98 then 2)Win2000 on one hd and then 3)7.1 on a second hd. There will be those who say they use it all the time, but Please if you are running Win2000 and definitly if you are using the Win2000 bootloader Do Not use fdisk/MBR it will wipe the 2000 boot loader. But that puts us between a rock and a hard place because you can not remove(uninstall) Grub from within Linux as you can Lilo you have to use fdisk/Mbr. I have a couple more questions if you don't mind. 1) When you were running 7.0 which were you using as your main bootloader SC or Lilo? 2) Did you install 7.1 as an upgrade or as a New Installation? 2a) If you did as a New install did you remove Lilo prior to the installation and verify that Win would still boot. Or if using SC disable it and see if Win would boot. Even though you had disabled SC I still think that your miss-adventure was caused by the fact that Grub needed to install in the drive space already occupied by SC.

Did you run SCIN and remove Sys Command before you installed 7.1? If not did you use the Sys Command Add OS Wizard when you installed 7.1? Sys Command and Grub are basicly the same type of boot program and will Not happily co-exist, and LILO if used with Sys Command needs to be installed on hdc Not hda. I have in the past used SC Deluxe but removed it from my system prior to installing either 7.0 or 7.1 and I will be glad to help if I can. Its helpful to know that System Commander is probably not compatible with GRUB. I don't have good results with the OS Wizard, so I don't tend to use it. SC was *disabled* - not removed - before installing Mandrake 7.1. According to the SC docs, it is possible to use with LILO on hda, and this worked OK with Mandrake 7.0. Neither LILO nor SC could boot Linux with LILO on hdc - still needs to have some start-up files on the first hard disk, it seems. I also have Windows 2000 Pro, in its own partition, so this is really a triple-boot system, and that adds some complexities of its own. I am using SC 2000, with the latest patches. Torrey

[newbie] Sorceror's Apprentice?
Hello, I am new to the list, and looking forward to reading everyone's comments. I have a problem with Mandrake 7.0. I have two harddrives, one with Windows and the other Linux. When I am retrieving email in Netscape (Windows), everything is great, and mail downloads as it should. However, when I use Linux NS or Eclient, I get multiple downloads of the same messages. For example, if I download email messages at 10 am, I get mail arriving up to that time. If I check email again and retrieve it at 2 pm, I get the 10 am messages again, as well as the 2 pm. If I check mail at 6pm, I will get 10 am, 2 pm, and 6 pm messages. As you can see, this will take up alot of space. I'd like to make Mandrake quit doing this. Also, after I log in to my isp and give my password, eclient will ask me for my password (for the isp) again, before it downloads my mail. This doesn't happen in windows.

Re: [newbie] Another Firewall Question...
Hi Greg, Thanks for answering. I checked the specified files and found this entry in ip-up.local [ -x /usr/local/pmfirewall/pmfirewall ] /usr/local/pmfirewall/pmfirewall start I'm a little confused as to why, since this command is clearly in there, why it's not following it. -- Mark ** Registered Linux user # 182496 ** On 23 Jul 2000, Greg Stewart wrote: This might help...let me know if it doesn't. In answer to: What does one do if PMfirewall won't start on it's own when a connection to the internet is made? I've been asking this question on the PMfirewall list, but it's falling on deaf ears. This is a message from Rick at pointman.org. Check to see if you are configured correctly: Forwarded Message: If pmfirewall is installed in /usr/local/opt/pmfirewall/ Just add: /usr/local/opt/pmfirewall/pmfirewall start to the /etc/ppp/ip-up or ip-up.local file. Note, this only works if you are using pppd or some variant of a frontend for it. You don't need to add anything to the ip-down file.

I've installed pmfirewall on Linux Mandrake 7.0 and it works very well but I'd like it to restart with new ppp connections. I've read the man pages and checked in the pmfirewall archive for tips and read about inserting something into ip-up.local and ip-down.local that would make this work. The problem is I don't know *exactly* what to put in these scripts to make it work. I've tried a few different things but to no avail. Specifically, I'm confused as do I: 1) Include the original contents of ip-up in ip-up.local and just add the command line "/usr/local/opt/pmfirewall/pmfirewall restart" or 2) Just the command line or 3) Something entirely different since my knowledge of C is null?

Re: [newbie] 7.1 Upgrade MBR of HDA
First of all, fdisk /mbr wouldn't fix the damage that the installer had done. I got an invalid media type on drive c:. The directories wouldn't list. Norton 2000 wouldn't fix it either. How do you figure it is user error, when GRUB wiped my mbr and it wasn't repairable. I tried all to get that drive back, but couldn't. Harry Tom Brinkman wrote: -- bottom line in most of these install complaints I've see in this thread is user error/misunderstanding (ie, 123, where 3 = not a Linux or Mandrake (7 or 7.1) problem at all). In this case if he had successfully run (DOS) fdisk /mbr, his system couln't possibly have booted GRUB, since the entire mbr would have been overwritten, and Winblows would then boot, since if it finds a blank mbr on boot, it writes one. Since he can still 'see' his Windoze files from Linux, a Winsux re-install isn't neccessary.. a proper fdisk /mbr from a clean dos prompt is. there's 3 levels of dos prompt in Winsux... DosMode, Dos by mashing F8 on boot, and a real DOS 7.1 prompt obtained by preventing any win files from loading during the initial boot up. The latter is suitable for flashing your bios, or successfully overwriting the master boot record, or running old DOS games that W9x doesn't get along with anymore. The boot disk made during a Winblows install should produce a clean DOS 7.1 prompt (W95 = DOS7.0). If that's not available there's sites on the Net where a DOS (5.0 thru 6.22) boot disk containing fdisk can be downloaded. -- ~~ Tom Brinkman[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ___ Harry Flaxman | Reg Linux User 182484 http://web.meganet.net/hflaxman ICQ # 22086907 | Reg Linux System 80769

[newbie] Mount permissions
I have got an internal LS120 (in place of my floppy) it works fine under kde when I access ext2 "formatted" floppies, but if I try to mount vfat or msdos I get a kfm error message that says "only root can do this" I can access vfat or msdos as root or su as a user and mount -t . from a command line , I can then click on the kdelnk to view the contents. Has anybody any ideas why only root can mount as vfat or msdos, if so what do I need to change to allow user access. TIA
Re: [newbie] Another Firewall Question...
Hi Tom, First I would check to make sure that the firewall was indeed operating checking to see if I could get traffic up and downstream. So I would just do a ping. That's what tipped me off in the first place that something wasn't right. I couldn't get any traffic going either direction. Then, I would go to this site -- https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and use it to check my ports. I'm fairly sure that just about everyone on this list has heard of Steve Gibson and his site. Also, about his crusade for personal PC security. This guy is about as serious as I've seen when it comes to securing a PC from the outside. It borders some well-known psyciatric maledies...at any rate the guy really knows his stuff so who am I to form an opinion. When the firewall is up and running correctly the port probe comes up with every port showing up as running in "stealth" mode. For all intents and purposes there isn't even a detectable computer at the address that is showing up to be the I have at the moment. I have a dynamic IP address. Steve is a wiz of a programmer and has been able to think up a lot of different ways that a hacker might use to gain access to one's PC. He says that he is currently able to probe anyone's ports all the way up to and including port # 65000. At any rate I was using his web site to check and see if the ports were either closed, open, or hidden from internet view.
