[newbie] Help Compiling C++ with Emacs
Alright this may be a little off topic for the list, but i'm sure some of you use Emacs and might be able to help me out. I've installed emacs on both, my Mac and for my Windows system, which i intend to use for c++. I have Emacs on both machines working fine but when i go to compile one of my c++ programs, on either, i get an error back in the compilation window saying g++ is not a command. This is the error exactly: g++ -o total sum1.cpp /bin/bash: line 1: g++: command not found Compilation exited abnormally with code 127 at Fri Feb 25 18:45:40 Now i understand Emacs is the text editor and so it seem obvious that i don't have the G++ compiler installed. This is my deduction at least. But, because i'm not totaly sure i figured i would bother you guys on how i would go about fixing this problem without having to fumble around on the internet looking for a solution. If a simple download is all that's needed just send me a link. I've looked myself, although not too hard, and i couldn't find anything worthy of what i thought i was looking for.

reinstall mandrake???

OK, the java executable will have been installed, but official Sun installer has put it somewhere that is not on the standard Mandrake executable binary search path ($PATH), and has failed to update the $PATH to include it. From a command line try typing: echo $PATH For me this returns: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/usr/games: /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/bin:/home/odysseus/bin:/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/bin This is a list of all the directories that Linux will look in to find a binary to execute. You'll notice that I have /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/bin as part of my $PATH, this is where my java binary is installed as part of the jdk (Java Development Kit). You have installed the jre (Jave Runtime Executable) so you will need to look for a directory with a name similar to that, very likely in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib . Once you know where the jre bin directory is, you can then add it to your $PATH. You can choose to add it to just your userid's $PATH, or you can add it to all users $PATH, or to the root users $PATH. To see how to do this, go to http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm where it's explained in better detail than I can manage here. Basically, you will need to add it to the files /etc/profiles and /root/.bash_profile . Cheers! John. Note 1: An easy way to find where a file is on your system. From the command line, logged in as root, type updatedb. This will spend a few minutes indexing your hard-drive. Then if you type slocate java, you will be given a list of all files containing the string *java*.

At a good guess it sounds like a router issue rather than a problem
on your computer. The Router needs to be configured to do the port
forwarding you want. You need the router manual for that, probably.

I use just default ports(80) Please help me. Cheers Amala Singh Yes, you need some networking knoledge to do this, but not a lot of it. You need to know the IP address of your server. You also need to know how to set up port forwarding on your router. You may even need to know how to set up DHCP on your router to give your web server machine a static IP, or you may need to give it one in the network config on the web server. Not that any of this should be a big problem. If we knew what router you were using, and the IP address of the web server, it would probably be easy to tell you how to do it. You can probably get away with leaving the server on a dynamic IP on the local lan, as the IP address would only change if you had the machine powered off longer then the lease time of the IP address. Home routers are usualy set up for at least a day, so it shouldn't be a problem. The manual for the router should tell you haw to do the setup on it. Look for a section on virtual servers or port forwarding. You could also use the DMZ feature os some routers, but this is a last resort, as it removes ALL the router's protections from the computer, so it is only protected by its own firewall.

To add new pages insert them into the directory /var/www/html derek To add to the story, though i see various good answers, yet however do not really issueing some vital details. Usually, if you would try to access your server *through* your WAN-ip you try to do some digital loopback request. So you do a request to your server to your WAN ip, your router sends the request to the DNS server of your host provider (if you use the net-name of your ip) else it requests the route to it from the routing-table. It notices that the originating IP is the same as the target-ip and shuts down the connection without replying. If you are lucky, some routers are smart enough to figure out that the request was originated from an Internal LAN ip and interprets your request as trying to access the router's configuration page (that's why you get a login dialogue). Most routers are not designed to do this and if you really would like to do that it would require some special settings if the router supports it, or you would require some trickery with another router that translates your WAN-ip to the IP of your host-server. So in a lot of cases, you generally can reach your own server only by using it's LAN address from within your own LAN. I read something about browsing to the http://localhost. However, this only works on the machine you run the server on. If this is however another machine within your LAN it would be better just to type in the ip-address of that machine. Until so far this is only regarding internal traffic issues. Now for external traffic (can people outside reach your server?): Good forwarding is being done through the Network Address Transalation table (NAT, NAPT or some vendors refer to Virtual Servers). These configurations can mostly be found inside the routers. Important things to know: outport: the port that broadcasts (listens to incoming request from the outside world) out-ip:usually this is 0.0.0.0 (WAN and open to everyone) inport:The port your local server runs on in-ip:Ip address of the computer, the server runs on. The inport and outport do not necessarily have to be the same, specially if you would like to cloak a commonly known port you can change it. (E.g. port 21 is usually ftp. You can run an FTP server on your local LAN-ip at port 21, however you can tell your router to accept ftp-incoming requests on a totally different port, so you make your server not so obvious to find) Hope this helped a bit.

Re: [newbie] help on port forwarding
Is your webserver on the same internal network as your localhost or on DMZ, which means on a separate network? If it is on a separate network you have to bridge the 2 networks. I am using IPCop as firewall and my servers are on DMZ, so I have to put the internal IP addresses and hostnames of my servers in the /etc/hosts file of the firewall for the two networks to talk to each other. Then you can type in either the server's internal IP address or its hostname. Hope this helps! For the world to see your webserver, you have to have portforwarding port 80 from your external IP address to the internal webserver IP address. Cheers!!! J.T.

I've noted the three components here; 1) perl-Authen-PAM 2) perl-CGI 3) perl-Net_SSLeay All three modules can be installed from the Mandrake Control Center, after which you can manually install webmin from the command line as your root user; rpm -ivh webmin-1.170-1.noarch.rpm (without the quotes) or, from Konqueror's file manager by clicking on it. I've found that it helps a lot to un-install any previously installed version of webmin before installing this new version, since it's gone through some major improvements. Use this command to uninstall your old version of webmin by opening a console/shell/terminal as root and typing (without the quotes); urpme webmin Enter and then delete the existing webmin configuration files for it; rm /usr/libexec/webmin Enter and answer Y to confirm. If you're willing to give this a shot, you'll be able to manage the web-server a lot easier from any other PC's web-browser, even if that PC is in another country or continent. Remember that you have to use an s in the URL - https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:1;. Make a note of the fact that you have to use the IP Address of your server running webmin to access webmin, unless you're sitting in front of that server, in which case you can use; https://localhost:1; or you can use the domain name of the server if you've purchased a domain name from a registrar (dotcanuck.com, godaddy.com, etc.) https://domain-name-of-server.com:1; Once you've done that, you're ready to install VirtualMin which is an add-on component to Webmin from this link; http://www.webmin.com/index8.html This is where it gets a lot easier, by the way. VirtualMin will help you to quickly configure virtual hosts for as many sites as you want as well as provide easy FTP services for those web-sites, email services, etc. in one location. It will automatically detect the email server you're running (if you have one installed) and it will create the folders and user access permissions for those sites and the people who manage them. I had a quick look at your VHosts file and I can see where one of your problems is coming from. The type of Virtual host you're trying to configure isn't valid. Regardless of where the sites are located and/or which IP address their using, your server will see them as Fully Qualified Domain Names or actual live web-sites and that's where some of your problem is coming from. In order to use the domains you've specified, you're going to have to register them through a registrar and that's part of the problem. For example, the domain name of mikewalters.com is ALREADY REGISTERED BY SOMEONE ELSE! The domain name billmudry.com isn't registered at all. Those would be big problems! If you intend to refer to these sites in the way you've stated them in your VHosts file, and/or if you plan on making them public sites, you'll need to register them first. In case you've never done this before, here's where you need to start; 1) Contact your ISP and get a Static IP address for a DSL or ADSL Internet connection (nothing slower than this will work very well and the web-pages will take forever to load in a web-browser). 2) Ask your ISP to setup Reverse DNS for your primary email server so that other email servers and anti-spam systems won't reject authentic email coming from your server. 3) Once that's all done and working, contact a registrar and register the names you want, but remember that mikewalters.com has already

[newbie] Help requested getting Apache virtual servers going
Could someone help me find out why I cannot get some virtual hosts going on Apache. I know my Apache is running ok since I can access it via localhost. I am running Mandrake 10.0. It also responds with [ok] for apachectl start and stop. Could any of you give suggestions on how I can get some virtual hosts going. In particularly, I hope to be able to place virtual web hosts under a public_html directory within the home directories of accounts. I have followed instructions as I found in more than one manual or how-to but I cannot seem to bring up index.htm or index.html files I placed in public_html neither on the local machine or on another (win98) PC on my local net. Below is a copy of the Vhosts.conf file. It may be something in that file but since a lot of this was copied and adopted from working examples, I suspect it is some other problem. May permissions? Ownerships? If you are not interested in assisting, no use reading past this point. The Vhost.conf copy below is included just in case it helps debugging. With thanks in advance, Bill Mudry Mississauga, ON # Vhosts.conf #This is where we store the VirtualHosts configuration. # #Since Apache 1.3.19, we modified the setup to include some nice tricks: # #- We added the User and Group directives so VirtualHosts now work with # suexec directive. If set, Apache will run all cgi scripts under that # user and group (provided the uid and gid are 100 for security). The # directories and cgi files *must* belong to that user/group for the # feature to work #- We added the Setenv VLOG directive. This works in conjunction with # the CustomLog in common.conf. When Setenv VLOG is set, apache will # create a /var/log/httpd/VLOG--MM-ServerName.log instead of logging # to access_log. Use this instead of defining a special logfile for # each vhost, otherwise you eat up file descriptors. #- You can also specify a path for the VLOG for each Vhost, for example, # to place the logs in each user's directory. However, if you want to # use the file for accounting, place it in a directory owned by root, # otherwise the user will be able to erase it. #- I suggest only including the ErrorLog *only* if the vhost will use # cgi scripts. Again, it saves file descriptors! #- We added the Rewrite directives so vhosts will work with the # PERLPROXIED configuration # IP-based Virtual Hosts #VirtualHost 192.168.2.100 #User jmdault #Group jmdault #DocumentRoot /home/jmdault/public_html #ServerName test2.com #Setenv VLOG /home/jmdault/logs #ErrorLogs /home/jmdault/test2-error_log #RewriteEngine On #RewriteOptions inherit #/VirtualHost # Named VirtualHosts #NameVirtualHost 111.222.33.44 #VirtualHost 111.222.33.44 #ServerName www.domain.tld #ServerPath /domain #DocumentRoot /web/domain #/VirtualHost ## NameVirtualHost 192.168.2.200 VirtualHost 192.168.2.200 ServerName billmudry.com ServerPath /home/bill DocumentRoot /home/bill/public_html #ErrorLogs /home/bill/error_log.bill /VirtualHost ## NameVirtualHost 192.168.2.201 VirtualHost 192.168.2.201 ServerName mikewalters.com ServerPath /home/mike DocumentRoot /home/mike/public_html TransferLog logs/access.mike ErrorLog logs/error.mike /VirtualHost ## NameVirtualHost 192.168.2.200 VirtualHost * ServerName www.billmudry.com ServerPath /home/bill ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ServerAlias billmudry.com DocumentRoot/home/bill/public_html #ErrorLogs /home/bill/error_log.bill Directory / OptionsFollowSymLinks AllowOverride None /Directory Directory /home/bill/public_html OptionsIndexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory DirectoryIndex index.html AccessFileName .htaccess LogLevelwarn ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/bill/cgi-bin/ Directory /home/bill/cgi-bin/ AllowOverride None OptionsNone Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory /VirtualHost Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The format of a makefile is basically a list of these: target: dependencies commands more commands The leading whitespace before the commands is important, otherwise make doesn't know where one set of commands ends and the next set begins. The simplest makefile looks like this: program: program.c program.h gcc -o program program.c The first line there promises make that the following commands will take the files program.c and program.h and will produce the file program. It also promises that only program.c and program.h are necessary to build program, so make knows that it only has to execute those commands if either program.c or program.h has changed. All the rest is syntactic sugar to either allow compilation on multiple platforms or reduce the amount of typing you have to do. A trick many makefiles use is a target that never exists, so the commands it contains are always run. You will often find things like: clean: rm *.o which deletes all object files if you type make clean. The standard make install is implemented the same way. When you invoke make with no arguments then it builds the first target in the file. That is the purpose of the otherwise pointless line: all: myapp The file all does not exist, so make tries to build it. No commands are given, but make knows that it has to have the file myapp first. So the effect is just to build myapp. It avoids having to place the default target first in the file, which you may not want to do for reasons of your own. The myapp should match another target further down, as in: all: myapp . . . myapp: myapp.c myapp.h gcc -o myapp myapp.c . . . -- Richard Urwin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

JoeHill said: BTW, could you do a 'rpm -qa | grep imlib2' on your machine? I'm curious to see what your version is. My 9.2 box is now too out-of-date to run PyPanel 2.0, my version of imlib is too old. libimlib2_1-filters-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk libimlib2_1-loaders-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk libimlib2_1-devel-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk libimlib2_1-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk BTW, installing libpython-devel fixed my problem. I was able to run the PyPanel setup script. Then I put pypanel in my Pwkwm start file, but, when I run Pekwm, I don't see anything that would lead me to believe it is actually running. When I type pypanel in a terminal window while in KDE, the screen flickers, and then I get the following: segmentation fault I tried to go to the PyPanel site to look for troubleshooting info, but I didn't find any. I googled (pypanel segmentation fault) but got nothing useful. Anyone have any ideas? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

No pypanel.py anywhere. Just pypanel (with no extension) in /usr/bin.

Just for the heck of it (although I have no idea what it means), I tried running pypanel with a after it.

Re: [newbie] Help with Python Problem (MDK 10.0)
Must be a problem with PyPanel 2.0 because I removed it and installed 1.3 and it works! One thing that is different between the two is that 2.0 requires imlib2 1.1.1 or later (according to the docs). When I do a rpm -qa | grep imlib2 I get libimlib2_1-filters-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk libimlib2_1-loaders-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk libimlib2_1-devel-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk libimlib2_1-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk which looks to me like it's saying I have version 1.0.6. I don't know if that's right or if that's even the problem, but it's the only thing that jumped out at me. Anyway, although I'd like to be running 2.0, I can't find an RPM anywhere of a more recent version of imlib2, and I don't feel like compiling it from source, so I'll stick with 1.3 for now.

[newbie] Help with Python Problem (MDK 10.0)
I'm trying to get setup to try Pekwm. Joe Hill has given me some great info on where to download stuff from, and I've got it all ready to try. My problem is I've never done anything with Python before, and, when I try to run the install for Pekwm as indicated in the README file, I get the following error: running install error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile (No such file or directory) Sure enough, when I go look, there is no config directory under the /usr/lib/python2.3/ directory. Now I'm stuck. I don't know what to do next. I ran rpmdrake and searched for python packages. There are tons of them, but I don't even know what I'm looking for. Any ideas? Thanks.
