[newbie] MySQL and PHP question
I am getting very tired of uploading my scripts to test them so I thought I would try out Linux. I am not sure were to put my scripts though, could somebody tell me were I should store my HTML,PHP files at and just were MySQL is located. I thought it would be in something like mysql/bin for something but do not see it anywhere. I have apache running on my Linux boot, or at least I am pretty sure. Anyway easy enough to get, if somebody could just tell me were to look and were to put the files (HTML,PHP,PERL). Thanks for you help Stephen
Re: [newbie] modem
I have a 56 Supermax modem and it is a winmodem :( I think all of the made by diamond are winmodems ;(.. There is a site out there but I think you best bet is to write diamond and ask them if you modem is dependent on the CPU, they don't like people calling their modems winmodems hehe..

Re: [newbie] Modem Problems :(
Firstly - how do know your modem is on com4? I looked it up under windows. Funny thing is there are two of the same modem there. I delete one but it pops right back up again. It is the pnp version I think since the name of the modem is the same but with pnp added to it. OK does the list you see in control panel systems also show a device called HSF or similar??? Nope what is say for them is this. U.S Robotics 33.6k FAX EXT for one and the other one say the same but with PNP added at the end. I have a sneaking feeling we are looking at a winmodem here.. Could you try the following for me?? While in windows Open up Hyperterminal (start -- program files -- accessories) You'll need to set up a dummy account - call it test or fred or rubbish or something. Once the terminal window has opened type the following commands and recort the results for me. AT cr( cr = tap the 'enter/return key ) ATI cr ATI1 cr ATI2 cr ... and so on to ATI7 CR EXPECT to get some error messages back - they will be the simple word 'ERROR' What I'm looking for is the make and type of modem - usually this info shows up at ATI5, 6 7. I received a bunch of stuff but the stuff I think you were looking for came up as. ATI3 - U.S Robot ics 33600 fax v5.6.1 ATI - (1.0usroo85\\Modem\PNPC107\U.S Robot ics 33600 FAX EXT) FF There was also a configuration Profile but I did not think you wanted to know this information as of yet. Before you ask I can not disable pnp in the BIOS. I tried but this compaq I bought will not let me do that. The BIOS is not much use other then the simple stuff. I think it is great that they do this for less experience people but I think they should have an option that will let you at everything if you want it. OPPS. My experience with Compaqs has not been good... but I think there are utilities available within the windows environment to alter the bios settings. (some help here from someone else maybe?) I would love any help that is out there, I have not heard of such a program but I will be calling Compaq today to find out. When you restart your machine from a cold boot you should see a panel which shows serial and parallel device info. If you hit the pause key on your keyboard you should be able to halt the boot process so you can copy the data down. I want to know what your BIOS tells us about your serial and parallel ports - ok?. You may restart the boot process by tapping your space bar. opps - wrote that before I knew it was a Compaq we were dealing with. Once again I'm pretty sure we can locate the info we need with the on-board Compaq utility programs... I did this and did not get any information on parallel ports. The only things that showed up are my CD-Rom and Burner, built in sound card (which does not work in Linux). It also says something about a file that it can't find, I will be looking into that in the morning. Ok - that's fine. It really helps to know what sorts of error messages come up - make a note of messeges about missing files they could be really importand in solving this windows or linux. Remember that during the bootup you can pause the display of messages my tapping the pause key on your keyboard. I will write it down on next boot to let you know what it was. In case you are wondering, I did disable the win98 logo so that I could see everything as it boots up. :) Did you know that tapping your Escape key does the same thing??? LOL. nope did not know that but thanks to this fine list I am learning things all the time ;) Once again - what type of mouse do you have - serial or USB ? Nope, I have one of those ps2 mouse, Little round adaptor. Not really sure what it would show up as in windows or Linux, maybe a serial port? Could this be the problem? ah - little round sucker - that will be a PS2 rat - more than likely it's a serial PS2 port on Com1 (That would be ttyS0 in linux) so now we know that the modem must be assigned somewhere else than Com1 or ttyS0. Try this lot and we'll see if we can get you any closer - But we just might nee one of the lits' Compaq experts on board with us as well. Well I hope that one come along soon ;) (help) heh..

[newbie] Modem Problems :(
Hello all. My modem will not work no matter what I do. I have followed some of the suggestion that come through the list but none worked. I thought I would tell you all what the problem is and maybe somebody could come up with something. First about the modem: -- It is a 33.6 USRobotics Faxmodem, External. There are a lot of switches on the back of it and I am not sure what they are for. I am going to list in order what they are for. Maybe this will help figure out why it won't work in Linux. 1. UP - Data Terminal Ready normal Down - Data terminal ready override 2. UP - Verbal result codes Down - Numeric result codes 3. UP- Suppress results codes Down - Display resultscodes 4. UP - ECHO offline commands Down - No echo, offline commands 5. UP - Auto answer on the first ring, or higher if specified in NVRAM Down - Auto answer off 6. UP - Carrier detect normal Down - Carrier detect override 7. UP- Load NVRAM defaults Down - Load factory defaults 8. Up - Dumb mode Down - Smart mode That is all for the modem now on to the problem.. My modem is inCOM4 but when I use kppp it tells me my modem is busy, not uncommon I see. when I switch the device to COM1 or ttyS0it will say, Modem is ready then it stops on Initializing and goes no father. Even the query workswhen on ttyS0, not sure why. I did a /proc/pci and found out thatmy port is 0x1850 and theIRQ is 5. all the stuff I tried is no longer there for I reloaded Linux just a few min. ago. I was wondering if I should ofpicked modem on Networking during the install ?Well if you can think of anything or would like me to type out what a certain program told me let me know, I will do it as fast as I can. Thanks for you time in this matter for me. OH, I tried to reg. my Linux and the mail bounced. I guess I will tryit again but do any of you know if there is something wrong at the Mandrake site? Next probcoming up:( Stephen

Unfortunately with no success. Found my device just fine using cat tool. It is indeed a Communication controller. :) It is set to IRQ 9. I entered the setserial commands you gave me and after doing so and did a modem query. Now I get "No response from modem" vice "Modem is Busy" reply. So I did some experimenting with the setserial handles. I entered them each one at time, skipped different ones, just about every combo possible(restarting between different patterns). What is happening is I continue to get the busy reply unless I either (1) include skip_test with the autoconfig handle -or- (2) run the autoconfig without the skip_test (still busy) and then do the setserial uart 16550A. Then i get the no response. It seems to me I have isolated the problem to the uart. I can do all the other commands and still get the busy reply, but once I use skip_test or set the uart I get no response. I also tried every different uart setting it would allow me to. No help. I tried the process on ttyS1 as well with same results. What exactly is the uart anyway? I also did less /proc/interrrupts to look at my IRQs and it wasn't listed (9 that is). Where do I go from here? /proc/pci info BUS 0, device 4, function 0: Communication controller: Lucent (ex-Att) Microelectronics L56xMF(rev. 1) Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 9. Master capable. No bursts. Max Gnt=252. Max Lat=14 Also, I am running dual boot (grub) WIN98/Mandrake7.1 Athlon600 Help! ) John Here are my weekly instructions for a PCI modem in Linux.The first thing you need to do is find out if you winmodem or a real modem. Log in as root and from terminal enter the following command # cat /proc/pci This will list all your PCI devices. On this list you should see either Communication controller or Communication device, that listing is your modem. If it shows as Comm. device you have a winmodem and it won't work in Linux. If it shows as Comm. controller prceed as follows: Write down the first I/O range. In the example I am using 0xd800 replace that with yours. Enter the following # setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0xd800 spd_vhi skip_test auto_irq autoconfig If there are no errors, then enter # setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A Select /dev/ttyS3 as the device in kppp and your modem should now initalize and operate. To make this perm. you will need to edit your rc.local file which is located in the /etc/rc.d directory. Add the 2 setserial lines to the end of this file Save the changes and reboot your system. Charles :-)- Original Message - From: John It is on com port 4 in windows which is ttys3 in linux I believe. When I query it using KPPP it tells me "Sorry, modem is busy". Of course it also says this for just about every other port as well. I found some documentation on Maximumlinux.com and it mentions that special instructions are required for ttys2 and ttys3. Of course they don't tell you what these instructions are. I am unable to change the com port to 2 as it goes to 4 automatically when it installs (in Windows). I am really stumped here. Any words of advice? Thanks John

My modem is in COM port 1, I used dev/ttyS0 instead of dev/modem. I also tried it the other way as well. It once said that it was setting speaker volume but stopped there. Speaker does not mean that much to me anyway since I can not seem to get my sound going hehe.. Dam sound it built onto the Mobo it is ESS and SB compatible but still does not seem to work.

I am having troubles loading up Linux on my Win 98 machine because of the size of my Hard drive. I was wondering if by putting in a new hard drive (slave) my problems would go away? Stephen
[newbie] Hard Dive info. pleas
My hard drive now is 20 gigs and the one that I can add is only 4 gigs. I was thinking it would be nice to have Linux on its own drive all together. I guess I would use the whole Hard drive for Linux, unless that would cause problems? Stephen
[newbie] Install help
I have a Compaq Presario AMD 533 Mhz with 128mb Ram and 20 Gig. HD. model number is 7479. I am having great troubles getting Linux 7.0 to install on this machine. I had to format it twice because all I got when I rebooted was zero's and one's filling up the screen. I tried to boot off of the disk and then to the CD but I can not get pass the disk they gave me. I tried to make my own disk as the instruction told me but the program that makes the disk did not work, give me an error not sure what just now. I have gave up trying sometime ago but now I find I still would love to have it on my machine. It has to be duel boot because I need to run WIn/98 as well. They say not to boot right to the disk (which I can do), I am not sure why but maybe I should try that. I friend told me that my hard drive was to big but I could not understand that being the problem. Any help would be GREAT! Thanks for you time and effort in the matter for me Regards Stephen L
