[newbie] Permission problems with Apache
Over the weekend, I fried a hard drive on the Dell notebook I've been using as a web and mail server for my DSL line. Won't tell you the whole long story, but I've almost got it back to where it was, except that I have a permissions problem with the directories containing the several web sites. I have set permissions to 755, with the user and group names set to user and apache. These are in user's home directory, home/user/html/ and I keep getting an error message when trying to access the sites: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'm stumped. Andy Miller Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Permission problems with Apache
Maybe I wasn't clear the first time. I am serving about 5 domains using the virtual server capacity of Apache. Rather than putting the sites in the default location, I want them where I choose to put them (/home/asm/html/site1, /home/asm/html/site2, /home/asm/html/site3, etc.) and it is there that I don't seem to be getting the proper permissions set. I've been through the permissions at each level many times. Home is owned by root, group root. asm is owned by asm, group is apache, html and site folders are the same. Actually, in LM 8.2 it's already there in /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttp.conf and it links to /home/*/public_html So make a folder in your home directory called public_html, add an index.html file in to test with, and then log in like said below. What I would like to know is: I am using dyndns.org to add a DNS to my computer. Let's say it's called thiscomputer.homelinux.org What I would like to do is add a directory somewhere, and have a link of let's say: other_directory.thiscomputer.homelinux.org Dyndns supports this, because I'm running a jabber server here, and jabber uses these locations to run it's different protocols (ICQ, MSN, AOL, Yahoo). Does anyone have any idea to maybe alias it or something, so when a user goes to other_directory.thisconputer.homelinux.org he get's transferred not to the standard apache root, but another folder?

How you configure the apache web server ( httpd.conf ), I have some suggestion to you. you should re-setup your apache configuration. you can setup there in the line were tell you like Document /home/*/public/html... .. /Document you should put your web files in there and restart your apache daemon. try access it from lynx or konqueror like this : http://your.hostname.domain/~user_name/ OK, i hope you understand my english, because i'm from Indonesia, and still learn about english language..

[newbie] Lost control of network interfaces
I seem to have done something to my Mandrake 8.2 installation on a Dell Latitude to lose control of my network interfaces. When I use netconf to check and configure the machine, it shows a total of 6 different network interface options. All I want is to use the first to set the proper IP address, name, and DNS servers for eth0. Netconf shows the first one configured as I would like, but disabled. It shows the second one enabled, again for eth0, but using the IP address of the router for this network, 10.32.10.1. The third for eth0 is enabled and configured as the first one, that is the way I want it. The rest are empty. I have reset them the way I want, eliminated any info on the second and third options, disabled them, enabled the first and saved. No matter what I do, they get reset as above. I have webmin on this machine and looking at the network settings, it seems to be OK. Mandrake Control Center also seems to show it set up as I want. I've looked through any .conf files I can think of that might be relevant and I cannot for the life of me figure out what is changing the settings. Can someone point me toward a solution?

[newbie] Must manually connect to internet?
Sorry for the repost, but I quit getting posts from the list right after I sent this. I am running Mandrake 8.1 on a Dell C600 and using it as a mail and web server. Some setting changed recently and when it is rebooted, it now no longer connects to the internet automatically. I now have to go into the Mandrake Control Center and make it connect manually. Can someone tell me where I go to set this so it happens automatically? This is a network OS and I didn't even know it could be disconnected. Appreciate any help.

Re: [newbie] Root exploit in SSH
Root exploit in SSH -- anybody heard about this? I've shut down my ssh server, just in case. But I haven't seen anything on Mandrake's security page for 8.1, nor have I received an announcement from Mandrake. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-devm=100696253318793w=2 I CC'd the security address for Mandrake ... if this was a faux pas, please forgive.

My drive is getting littered with these files and I'm sure this is happening for others. After the first couple of times, they are redundant. Thanks.

[newbie] sendmail problems
I'm using Mandrake 8.1 with the latest version of Sendmail. Until this weekend, this combination has been working flawlessly. However, something changed and I ended up having to reload the OS and sendmail as well. Now I have sendmail working again within my LAN, but if I give the external IP address for the router on my DSL connection as the address of the POP server and SMTP server (as I did until yesterday), I keep getting a message saying the server is not responding (for POP) and access denied (for SMTP). Previously, I was able to use the netconf module of LinuxConf to tweak the Sendmail settings, but it no longer shows up there as a choice. I shot the whole day fighting this. Anyone have any suggestions on what to look at to solve this set of problems? Thanks in advance. Any help is welcome. andy Miller Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] wireless card with Dell Latitude
what driver are you using for the linksys 802.11b pcmcia card? i thought that there were no linux drivers for it...? thanks. Check out http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Looks like wvlan_cs is the driver being used.

[newbie] Checking on port 80 scans?
I'm running Mandrake 8 and Apache to host a couple of small web sites. I'd like to find out the amount of port 80 scanning that's going on as a result of the Nimda virus. Anyone know what tool to use or where this might be logged? TIA Andy Miller Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] MDK 8.0 on IBM T21
Hi, i'm having problems installing mdk 8.0 on ibm T21, the mouses (treckpoint and ps2) are not detected, while trying to detect scsi, the installation freezes.. Does any one installed the 8.0 on the IBM T21 ??? THNX Installed fine on mine, under expert mode. You might try connecting a PS2 mouse while you're loading the OS and then remove it, relying on HardDrake to pick up the trackpoint later, after you're further along in your install.

[newbie] Don't know what to do
Last night my Mandrake 8.0 box, a Toshiba Tecra 8000 I'm using mostly for a mail and web server over my DSL line, froze for about a half an hour and I shut it down. On rebooting, I get the following message: execue failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 2) It then goes into a forced run of fsck on the drive partitions and seems to hang after running for a while and then filling the screen with blocks of numbers like +460038. I have the emergency boot floppy for it and can get back to the prompt, but I haven't the slightest idea what to do once I get there. Can someone offer suggestions or maybe walk me through what I need to do to get this thing back? There are three partitions on the drive, with the /home directory being on the last so if necessary I can reload Mdk 8 without losing personal data, but I'd sure rather not do that. Email replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be welcome. Thanks. Andy Miller
Re: [newbie] LM 8.0 install
I'm also getting stuck on the install. Putting MDK8 on a Toshiba notebook, a Tecra 8000. I have now burned about 6 disks, from two different downloads and I'm trying to grab one more as I write, just to be sure. I was able to build a boot floppy and the process proceeds nicely until it starts looking for the CD. I yields a message that the CDROM disk does not seem to be Linux-Mandrake Installation CDROM. Retry with another disk? Is there a particular name the disk is supposed to have? The burning software I'm using won't even allow me to keep the name Mandrake80-inst.iso . What name should it have? Any help is appreciated as I am using this machine for a mail server on the two main accounts I use and I need to get it back up as quickly as possible. Thanks. Andy
RE: [newbie] Apache/virtual hosts
virtual hosting can be anything.. I have 7 seperate domains with different IPs running from one box with apache.. I am not sure, but I think if you have 3 domains, all with the same IP address, I think you will have troubles unless you want them to all have the same page... Although I think there are some ways around it using CGI... Frank Hauptle / / _ ---/ / (_)__ __ __ --/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / -//_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ Gshop Network Payment Solutions. Not so. This works fine. See previous post by Fred Schroeder for configuration details. You can also place the same code in the Vhosts.conf file. Andy
[newbie] Where to place tarballs
Seems like a very basic question, but it is also one I've never seen addressed anywhere. Where do you guys put tarballs and rpm's for new applications and patches before you open them? Is this entirely arbitrary or is there a customary location to put them before using them? Thanks in advance Andy

Maybe your clients could use this one too. http://web14.compaq.com/falco/detail.asp?FAQnum=FAQ2859 M. It lists "Marilyn O" as the author. I'm sure only Compaq's very best get asked to tackle such a project. I'll bet she has a very bright future at there!
