[newbie] No recognition of USB 2.0 memory stick (on laptop)
Hi all, Bought this laptop last week and installed MDK 'without any problem'. Of course during fine-tuning some issues arise and this is one of them: - When I connect my USB 2.0 memory stick to my USB 2.0 port of my laptop it is not recognised, nothing happens. - It does not show up in /mnt - Doesn't make any difference if I connect it pre-boot or post-login - Same goes for my Palm m505 - Both are needed badly to work Is anybody able to help? Thanks a lot. Erik Janssen NB Enjoying Linux (MDK) very much though it is difficult for me as newbie to configure.. -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!

[newbie] config/start fetchmail
Hello all, I've got four questions related to fetchmail Does anybody know how to configure / start fetchmail so it will: - Run every 15minutes - Run silent/deamon (without noticing it during work ánd without the PC looks like being dead at login when detching a lot of messages) - Starts automatic at login for my user only - Stops at logout I shutdown my PC everyday. How to get the mail-messages that cause this message in fetchmail (what's happening here?): skipping message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 (0 octets) not flushed How to enter my user/server data in .netrc so: With 2 accounts on the same server (this means fetchmail cannot distinguish them?) - Fetchmail will use both to login - Right now it only uses the first of the two and doesn't use the later - I need to put the account information in the .fetchmailrc to pass this Anybody a clue? How can I configure fetchmail it will also download messages from other IMAP folders than only the Inbox. The tree at the IMAP server is like: INBOX = all inbox messages INBOX.Sent Items = all sent messages (also used in my office PC to put my messages in through Lookout Express) Of courscours it would be nice to fetch also my sent messages to my home PC. Thanks very much in advance, Erik -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!

Re: [newbie] config/start fetchmail
Well, we've got to teach'em there's more than one way to skin a cat, dude...so he's got a choice - he can run the FETCHMAILCONF, or do it through Webmin, or through Linuxconf, or by hand... Thank you guys for pointing me out to three solutions. I will actually try and study them all! Kind regards, Erik -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!

Re[2]: [newbie] apache configure for local use
Hello Milos, And, I presume, apache is listed as httpd when you issue ps ax. ??? apache is listed as httpd if I open localhost in Galeon MP ps ax is a command. You need a command line window (in other words a MP console or a terminal) to issue commands. Try to start console by MP clicking the icon computer screen with a yellow shell. See the MP attached picture of the icon. How did you start apache? Via Galeon Via apachect1 start in a terminal MP There is also a different way to start apache. As root, run MP /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start in terminal. I'll try that. Which line did you change in httpd.conf? Don't know by heart, tried 'all options' MP This is bad. Next time please write down your steps. It is difficult to MP help you otherwise. The reason is that I answered your question at my work (windows) so I did not have the oppertunity to open the conf files and give you the changes. I'll do that soon -though not today-. - Do you need to login as root to browse localhost web pages? I only get the default page and can not go any further from ther, that's the problem I was trying to address MP Well, your original question was Can I configure Apache for multiple MP users? SO I do not need to login as root (which is pretty risc-full with MP the GUI's. MP I do not know how to answer this question because it does not make sense MP to me. That's why I asked the other questions. A correct question is MP half of the answer :-) Couldn't agree more, I'll keep that in mind next time! MP I will try to figure out the correct question: MP - apache is automatically multi-user. Anyone can browse webpages MP published by apache (unless specifically forbidden). This is similar to MP Microsoft IIS and other webservers. They also publish webpages for everyone. MP - only root can start apache manually (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start). MP - to start apache automatically when Linux starts, the root user must MP create a symlink that points from /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd to MP /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S80httpd. You can also use a different number than 80, MP it just specifies process startup order. In other words you can create MP symlink to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S90httpd if you prefer apache to start MP later. If this link exists, apache will start automatically next time MP you boot Linux. MP - If you do not know how to create symlink, learn how to do it. Issue MP man ln and concentrate upon the ln -s option. It is very useful to MP understand symlinks. It will help you with many aspects of Linux. MP Symlinks are like Windows shorcuts, only more powerful. MP - If you absolutely refuse to learn symlinks, Mandrake allows you to do MP the same thing with your mouse. Start DrakConf, click System, click MP Services, and depress On Boot button in the httpd line. I'll put some effort and time in this. MP Since this answer may be useful to other people, I posted it to Mandrake MP Newbie conference. In my opinion tt is better to keep the discussion there. So I am not the only one who can't get this done ;) Thanks for all your information. Kind regards, Erik Janssen Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] apache configure for local use
Hi all, I'm a newbie to Linux, just migrated a few weeks ago after over 10 years of Dos and Windows useI even didn't install a Windows partition. As webmaster of a website I need Apache running for local testing of scripts, php etc. And this is one of the few problems I can not solveCould you help / give me an URL to a former discussed topic that's similar? Thanks in advance, Erik The problem: ___ 1 Mandrake Linux 9.0, including all updates is installed 2 Apache is installed default with the ML installation 3 It is running (I can get the default page by requesting localhost) 4 As root I even can get the apachectl starting; stopping etc. 5 I would like to point to another standard folder, but if I do that in httpdconf = no result, I tried all options I could think of (even in combination with that other conf file and after the include line of that file). 6 Even after first stopping Apache (as root) and then editing didn't result in the way I would like it 7 Renaming the index.shtml in de default folder als does not result in presenting the content of the default folder, it does result in a 403 page. 8 Can I configure Apache for multiple users? SO I do not need to login as root (which is pretty risc-full with the GUI's). 9 Is there -at this moment- a way to check if PHP is working. 10 And if not, how do I get it working? -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
