Re: [newbie] Apache + PHP - htdocs?
Try "cat /etc/httpd/conf/*.conf | grep DocumentRoot" (without the quotes), and it should tell you where it's looking for files.

I burned a new CD after verifying the MD5 sum. All ok. I reinstalled MD 8.2 after reformatting all but /home. I made sure that I clicked the install for CUPS and Foomatic during the install. Same thing. Whenever I try to run software manager and install ANYTHING from the CD, it grinds for about 20-30 seconds and freezes. I'm believing that I either have a hardware conflict (I removed all suspect cards), or my motherboard is going on the fritz. In the middle of all of this, it started reporting the wrong voltage for -12V and indicated -14.2V instead. I had to "ignore" that warning in the BIOS to proceed. Other than the above described problem, everything else seems to be ok. ??? Any other suggestions?

[newbie] Oracle and Mandrake
ok, hopefully someone here can answer this, and hopefully I'm on the right list for it...:) We're trying to install Oracle 8i on 8.1. We have struggled with it for a couple of days, installing RH compatibility patches, jdk_118_v3, and other various rpms to try to get it to work, but the Oracle installer stops on the initial installer screen. None of the buttons seem to want to work, but we can close the window by x-ing out of it. What we're really looking for are some thoughts as to where to go to help find what we need to install Oracle on a Mandrake box (we've been able to do it on a RH box, but we don't want to go there...:)) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

[newbie] Lost messages on VC12
List, My name is Jim, and I usually just lurk and search the archives. But I can not find an answer to this one.

I can still get a getty prompt on VC6, by hitting enter. VC 7-12 seem to be blank. My question is - What redirectes the log messages to VC12 (usually)? and - What might I have done to loose VC 7-12?

RE: [newbie] What's different with cron?
Just to close the loop on this. I found that by writing a one line shell script which in turn launched the backup script directing its output to a log file, everything worked. This was really an attempt to debug, but seems to be a fix in itself. i.e. 00 23 * * * do-the-backup in crontab fails, but 00 23 * * * start-backups works, where start-backups reads: /bin/do-the-backups > /var/log/backup.log So, all is well, but if someone who knows would like to fill us in on why, that would be good! BTW, the backup script is multi-threaded - i.e. it launches simultaneous child processes to backup each home directory - just in case this is relevant. thanks for the reply Dave. cheers Brian On Fri, 2002-03-29 at 01:13, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Check that all calls to programs like 'tar cpio' etc are explicitly called using >full path from root.

Fw: [newbie] Palm M505 Connectivity with Mandrake
I must admit that I have not tried the new kernel. So, I will get the latest (again) and hopefully everything will work this time. The last time I tried my boot block got messed up somehow. Now, after I get the newest kernel, what else do I need. Do I need the latest pilot-link and jpilot? Because I had trouble with the CVS too. Not just a little trouble either. I had so many errors! But I have had no trouble with anything else...

The m50x USB works perfectly with the latest kernels. I have 2.4.18, and m500/m505 support works.

There are some problems with installing the latest 0.9.0beta12 ALSA on Mandrake 8.2 , but I guess that will soon be sorted out ;) The 'standard' way the c-media 8738 outputs 5.1 surround sound is S/PDIF which is then externally decoded to several analog outputs. Your hardware seems to do the decoding in a way even C-Media's drivers don't understand, only the drivers of your main board manufacturer do (and that's in Windows XP !). See below. I think that's your main problem :( > Thanks, > Tom > > Oh, and I have checked the volume controls for the driver and unmuted > them. I made sure to do that. >From your earlier post to alsa-user: --- OK, here is a better description of my setup. The c-media 8738 on my computer is two pieces. The main part is built into the motherboard so there are 3 jacks directly connected to the motherboard, one jack each for front speaker, Line-IN, and Mic-IN. The second piece is small bracket you mount where an expansion card would be and it connects to the motherboard via a ribbon cable. On this bracket is a jack for the rear speaker line and a jack for the Center/Bass line. There are no SPDIF jacks on my system. From the card to the speakers is a cable with three jacks on each end that connect to the subwoofer and match up corrspondingly for front, rear, and center/bass. Then each individual front, rear, and center speaker connect to the subwoofer. I have been trying to play mp3s through xmms using the standard libmpg123 input plugin and esound output plugin To get the rear speakers working I went into the kernel source directory, did a make xconfig, and under sound changed the number of speakers for the 8738 from 2 to 6. After doing that I have a choice of enabling the line-in as either the rear channel or the center/sub. I have tried leaving both as no, and tried enabling the line-in as the sub/bass channel. Each time I recompiled, installed, and loaded the new kernel Neither time did I get the center to work. One last note, the 5.1 surround works in Windows XP. But I could not use the C-Media's own drivers from their website,they would not give me correct sound either. I had to use the ones from the motherboard manufacturer which appear to be a modified version of the normal C-Media ones. The normal C-Media ones present y

If you are running 8.2 you can install both libpng3 and libpng2. You should Not install libpng2-devel but have only libpng3-devel installed. It is the devel pkg, when the wrong one is installed, both in 8.1 and 8.2, which will case X apps to to either not work or to not work properly. Got it right now.

I gare, that was I did (Mandrake 8.2) A) download pilot-link cvs from http://www.pilot-link.org (pilot-link-0.10.99.tar.gz); tar zxvf pilot-link..; cd pilot-link; ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-perl5=no --with-python=no make, make install. After the make, you can test if run: insmod visor; ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/pilot; pilot-xfer /dev/pilot -l (It was wonderfull hear the sync music). B) download the last jpilot tarball from http://www.jpilot.org (jpilot-0.99.2.tar.gz); remember the rpm from mandrake is not valid because you need special compilations options. tar zxvf jpilot. ./configure --disable-nls --disable-pl-test --prefix=/usr --with-pilot-prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-ccoptions="-Wall -O2" make make install And for me jpilot have done a perfect sync using the usb port!!! explendid Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'll add Starcraft and Lord of Destruction to your list. Even networking, and upgrade patches work fine although a networked game under LOD seems a tad bit slow compared to when I was running it from a windows partition (I just added a 60 gig HD and did away with all MS stuff totally - yeah!). I wonder - if you copy the dll's and the registry from a winblows installation that has the apps/games in question installed, would they work better under Winex then? Hmm, something to experiment with, methinks! ;-) PS Maybe the upcoming Winex 2.0 release will fix/cure some of the current issues.

[newbie] soundcard detect?
Hey everyone, I would really appreciate it if someone would give me some tips to how to go about in finding out about the soundcard that I have. I cannot get it to run, but the problem is I don't know what type nor what the specs of it are. It is CS 4263 (or similar) in Windoze but where can I find out more about it in Linux? (IRQs, DMA, ...etc.) Thanks to everyone!

Re: [newbie] Mandrake8.2/X-CD-Roast Configuration Problem
Seems to me it would be a good idea to test whether cdrecord works Can anyone give me their cdrecord command line to cashe an audio disk If you send me yours I am sure I can figger out how to adapt it to my machine.

Re: [newbie] Problem with ISP DNS address lookup
Hi Gerald, Actually I have got it to work, but only half... I manually added a route P-t-P address you can see in ifconfig, it is the ppp remote address. ie. route add default gw 203.88.236.90 After doing this I can now ping the nameservers listed in resolv.conf and all DNS names seemed to be resolved into an address. I can now browse some sites as well, but not all. For some unknown reason I can ping and browse to say www.apple.com but not to www.mandrake.com. DNS resolves the address correctly, but it just times out. So how is it you can get to some and not others ? My Windows 2000 machine using the same PPP ISP connection and IP addresses works fine. I still feel it is some kind of routing thing, but my expertise is getting a little thin here. FYI route shows: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface riv236090.river * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 172.20.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default riv236090.river 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 default 172.20.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Which with the -n option shows: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 203.88.236.90 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 172.20.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 203.88.236.90 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 0.0.0.0 172.20.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 All the best, Rob.

Re: [newbie] Palm M505 Connectivity with Mandrake
Well, Greg, in fact they are no the way, but pilot-link has a beta release that I haven been able to compile, they say that the problem is solved but arte testing it. And in the case of coldsync is there a mandrake rpm, but I haven't been able to reach the conection to my m505 palm. So we can wait, perhaps in a week or two the final release of pilot-link will be in a rpm package or perhaps Dan could compile the beta.

I used to run E+GNOME in my Redhat days, but found I could get just about everything I wanted from E (and that was a long time ago - now it probably makes your coffee as well). Given that GNOME has so many features, it makes more sense to run it with a fairly minimal WM, unless you have a 2Gig processor and RAM coming out of your ears.
