Re: [newbie] RAM detection problem ?

My Mandrake7 detects 65mb of RAM,. while I have 128. what can be the issue ?
Here is what worked for me.
Log in as root to edit your "lilo.conf" file.
Add the following line;
append="mem=128M"
I put mine just after the line "timeout" line.
Run lilo again like so..
/sbin/lilo
This will update your lilo, reboot and voila you have 128M Ram.

Hi Shannon; On Mon, 08 Nov 1999, Shannon M. Johnston scribed: I don't think php is installed automatically. In the httpd.conf file the LoadModule and AddModules are there but they are commented. Try un commenting them and restarting httpd. Hope that helps! Thanks...but I could not find any in my "httpd.conf" file.there are indeed some calls to modules commented out...but none are PHP related. there is no mention of any PHP/Midgard module except the one line at the bottom of the config file that was put there during the install of the RPM. ie: Include conf/addon-modules/midgardphp3.conf the contents of this file are.. LoadModule php3_module/etc/httpd/modules/midgardphp3.so AddModule mod_php3.c the first file path has been changed in my attempt to get this to work..yours will probably be diffrerent. :-) So these modules are being asked to be loaded and added...so I'm not sure where to go next...

Hi David;
thanks for lending a hand :-)
On Mon, 08 Nov 1999, David M. Kufta scribed:
I have been reading the mail on newbie list tonight and see quite a few
having difficulty with Apache/Midgard. Midgard requires the use of MySQL
I have MySQL installed and its seems to be running fine.
and also requires the use of a vhost.conf file to be setup.
ok..I just looked in my "vhost0.conf" file and at this point it contains
the usual VirtualHost block...
what would one add to this file to get it to recognize Midgard/PHP?
I can assure you it does work very well.
Oh I don't doubt it...I am sure its "me", the bug with its hands on the
keyboard :-)
Midgard is a very nice tool for administering your website as well and
access to ithe Admin site is restricted and requires a login and password.
I access my Admin site with the URL http://44.66.0.50:2000
Vmware offers free assistance in setting up Midgard but MySQL is
necessary and configuration of vhost.conf is also a must.
must be the "vhost.conf" file for meas I seem to have all the other bases
covered.

Could everyone try uninstalling the midgard* packages and install the
mod_php* packages instead? I have a feeling it might fix the problem...
worked for me.. :-))
I would have done this first if I would have spotted the "mod_php" RPM...
missed it till tonightthought Midgard was my only choice for an RPM.
Why would they put the "Midgard" RPM on the cooker site...if it won't work?
...just curious... :-)

[newbie] Apache Upgrade
Hi folks; I downloaded and then used the RPM to install the newest version of Apache, http://Coruscant.NetRevolution.com/pub/NEW/RPMS/apache-1.3.9-5mdk.i586.rpm well I guess I missed something upon installation and was greeted with multiple dailog boxes(if I remember corectly it was file related), with a "script" error at the endthe script that is spposed to start this version of Apache I imagine Anyhow, now I notice I have two separate Apache's listed in the RPM, both the old and the new version, but in properties the file sizes are quite different. apache-1.3.6-28mdk = 5443k apache-1.3.9-5mdk = 2451k Yet when listing the files they both show 350 files. So now that I broke this upgrade :-/ ...how does one get rid of the two versions -- best regards -michael Michael Chopek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Down to Earth Development Ltd - http://www.d2earth.com/ Website Web Applications Development Extropia Developers Network - http://www.extropia.com/

Why could I not set it to something other than 7mb for the /home partion?? If so, you could use Disk Druid to set the /home partition to be growable, therefore filling whatever free space you have left I tried that last night...actually tried setting it to 500mb and it would not let me...all the way down to 10mb and still no luckit would only accept 7mb. As well I did as you suggested and toggled the "grow to fill disk"...but that did not seem to work either...as of today the /home partition is 100% full...can't even check my mail :-/ Well after a bit of noodling I figured it out ...sorta :-) The version I'm using is the "Complete Linux" from Macmillian Publishing, which comes complete with a "limited" version of Partition Magic to do the "dual-boot" thing. When creating the partitions with this limited version you are given three choices for size..600mb, 1.5gig and remaining space. I chose the 1.5 gig...in its creation process it automatically creates a Swap partition of approx. double that of your RAM. Now when reading along in the installation manual (as all good newbies should) it says to create the next important mount point of /home. I chose Disk Druid...which is a lot friendlier looking than "fdisk" :-) So I set the three mount points...but strangley enough...theres only 7mb left to use for the /home partition and you can not adjust the size in Disk Druid using the "edit" function. I think this is ...a bug ...or maybe its me :-) So being a "newbie" I assumed this was kosher...and continued on with the installwell a few email later my /home directory is full. I tried deleting partitions on Disk Druid to re-size them...but it kept incrementing the number of the partitions etcand after I had completely destroyed the Linux partitons ..it would not boot up and gave a "kernel panic" error. So...I deleted the Linux partition...got brave and when re-installing I used "fdisk" to setup the partitions...which worked ...sorta :-) I managed during my mucking about to create the dos/Linux partitions, but in the course of doing that I think I have left some unused disk space sitting in the ozone...as the two partitions sizes I have don't add up to 6.4 gig. Not a biggie tho...as Win works...Linux seems to work better after I did all the updates...kernel and all. Why is the updated kernel not able to be seen when you use the "updates" icon from the desktop?? ..all the other upgrades are there...but not the kernel ok..I'm on a roll...one more before I go...I have been using gFTP but when I log onto my server...the "htdocs" directory is a symbolic link of "WWW" and gFTP does not seem to be able to deal with this sym link...any ideas??? clicking on it brings up an empty file.. ..ok I lied.. What are the other alternatives for an FTP client??

[newbie] Was = Accessing Floppy / CDROM Disks
Hi folks;
I sent an email yesterday to thank all the kind people who helped me with
my "unmount" troubles...but it never seemed to make it to the list...so
once again thanks to everyone who responded.
Works much better if you use the correct command g
"umount"...not... "unmount" Doe!
Is it just me???...or is there a major lag (4-12 hours) in the mail and how
it is sent?
Now tho when I try to "mount" the floppy..
I get an error something like.."you must specify the file type"
I tried throwing various flags at it...but none seemed to work.
mount -a -rw -t vfstype ext2
mount -t vfstype ext2
...etcdoes anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Also...my cable guy is coming today or tomorrow...anything I need to know
to in regards to configuring the cable modem after he leaves.
I'm another smuck with a WinModemand can't wait to use Linux
on the web, and for work :)
- thanks for any and all help -

mount /mnt/cdrom
or

I did this last night and it seemed to work fine for me...
you will need to unmount them before you can eject them,
type
umount /mnt/whatever
...but then I could not get the CD out of the drive no how...
When I tried to use..
unmount /mnt/cdrom
I would get a message back from BASH saying something like..
"unknown command - unmount"
I tried as both user and SU, and could not get the CD to open... :-/
If I tried to click on the desktop icon, and right click to unmount..
it said "device is busy" or some such error.
What am I doing wrongas I eventually wound up rebooting and then
pulling the CD out when it started...not good for the penguin..I'm sure.

[newbie] Partition Problems
Hi folks:
I used the Partition Magic
(limited version from Mandrake-Linux 6.0 - MacMillian Publishing)
to partition my drive.
It worked fine then, I then told Partition Magic to delete the partition
used by Linux.
It says the partition was successfully deleted, yet when I go to create a
new partition again, it says...
"A Linux partition already exists, cannot create new partition"
I tried several times to delete the partition, yet it still says (when
using the delete Linux partition function) that a partition of approx.
7.8mb still exists, and it won't let me create another.
How do I fix this problem??
The only partitions I see are the main one which has Win95 on it...and a
small DOS Ext partition of approx 8mb.
I guess thats my problem partition...
I tried to remove this small partition as well using "fdisk" in DOS...and
it will not let me delete it... :-/
Has anybody run into this before?
I promise I won't muck about with the partitions if I ever get Linux
working again :-)
