[newbie] Setup NFS access?
Yo peeps;
I'm trying to set up an NFS server on my Mandrake 9.2 server with client
access from a SuSE 9.1 box. Here's what I did on the server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ ssh sipca.org
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eric]$ su
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eric]# vi /etc/exports
snip
Added /var/www/html sipca.org(ro,root_squash)
/snip
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eric]# exportfs -r
exportfs: /etc/exports [2]: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for export
*:/home/eric.
Assuming default behaviour ('sync').
NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions
exportfs: /etc/exports [3]: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for export
sipca.org:/var/www/html.
Assuming default behaviour ('sync').
NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eric]#
On the SuSE box I got:
linux:/mnt # mount -t nfs sipca.org:/var/www/html /mnt/athlonxp
pmap_getmaps rpc problem: RPC: Timed out
mount: sipca.org:/var/www/html failed, reason given by server: Permission
denied
I'm new to NFS... and all this I just tried from a googled howto. Any help?
Thanx,
ES

Not that you care, but this message was sent from a 750MHz Athlon system
running SuSE Linux 9.1 (Kernal 2.6.4) and KMail 1.62. I aslo run Red Hat
Linux 8.0 (Kernal 2.4.18), Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.2.20), Mandrake
Linux 9.2 (Kernal 2.4.22), and YellowDog Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.4.20) on various
systems and architectures for various reasons. Yeah, and there's a old Mac
OS in there somewhere that I use as a bootloader for Linux, and a Windows XP
box used as a router for my Linux-based network, but they don't count, 'cuz
they aren't real OS's. Who me? Biased? Nah!

Are you running a firewall? If so you need to open port 111 and also make sure
the portmapper service is running.
BTW: The easy way for newbies to set up NFS servers is to use the 'NFS Mount'
GUI in Mandrake Control Centre. It works over an ssh link. Just start 'mcc'
from your ssh shell.

Whelp I don't have a firewall... and I don't know about you but my MCC only
lets me mount servers with NFS Mounts, not create them. Am I missing
something? My entire /etc/exports file is as follows:
/home/eric *(rw)
/var/www/html *(rw)
It says permission denied when I try to access. Any help?

If you use Quanta to manage your web pages then you can easily synchronise to
your web server using sftp The only thing you need on the server is to be
running an ssh server.
Konqueror is also real nice to use with sftp. Just enter
fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/folder in the URL line of Konqueror
('fish' is included by default in Mandrake, but I am not sure if Suse includes
it)

To try some wm, I'd suggest you to start an X session with just an xterm (by just typing xinit in a console), and try some wm by launching them from the xterm. When your choce is made, you can edit (or create) your ~/.Xclients file to determine your default window manager. HTH Flupke

No idea...you might try asking in the list... Do you know what the chipset on the card is? That might be supported, even if the card itself isn't directly supported.

Is there any way to manually set the card so it can get initialise or it is just my luck and I have to get another card in the ehther-HOWTO hardware list? I would guess that there is an IRQ or I/O conflict here. If this is a PCI card, try putting it in a different slot. Also, if you have an AGP card, do NOT utilize the PCI slot next to the AGP, as the AGP shares IRQ with that PCI slot. John

[newbie] Setup of PHP/Midgard
I recently installed Mandrake 6.1. I have found documentation and help regarding setting up PHP, but it seems that this Midgard setup is different. It seems that my apache files are configured correctly with AddType...etc ..., but I can't seem to get any execution on php scripts. Anybody have any experience setting this one up?

I don't know exactly what Van Jacobsen Compression is for and don't feel like looking it up, but I think basically it's enabled by default, and most ISP's have it enabled, but some don't, and in those cases you have to disable it with the novj option.

Hoorah! I got Mandrake installed successfully, and everything seems to work except for one BIG problem. For some reason, my Netscape, FTP and IRC connections all come up and tell me that connections to the servers have been established. However, it then just sits there and seems like nothing is getting into my machine! When trying to load a web page, Netscape says "Host contacted: waiting for reply" and that's as far as she goes. When using FTP, it tells me the connection has been established, but I never receive anything, no matter which FTP server I visit. The modem seems to connect up to the internet just fine and shows it is both transmitting and receiving properly. I entered two DNS IP addresses when asked by Kppp and must be set up correctly because I am making connections successfully. Only problem is that no information flows after the connection has been established. When using IRC, it doesn't even connect up to an outside IRC server at all! What on earth did I do wrong? Installation Info: - I installed Mandrake 6.0 on a Cyrix PR200 processor-based machine with 64 meg of EDO RAM. Hard drive is a Western Digital Caviar 2.0 Gig EIDE drive. Monitor is a MAG Innovision DJ702 and is being driven by a Diamond Stealth 3D Pro 2000 video card with 4 meg of video memory. Soundcard is a Soundblaster 16, with 25 Watt Kinyo subwoofer speaker system. Modem is a wireless Ricochet modem, 28.8 kb/s Mandrake Installation: I installed Mandrake using Custom, but allowed all packages to load by default, with the exception that I activated both Workstation networking and Server network/administration. -- I believe I have provided all the information needed by anyone who is able to provide assistance to me in this matter.

RE: [newbie] setup my PCI modem !
The Olitec PCI Modem is a software modem. I own a small computer business and I carries these myself. [Before you try to say I'm cheap and stuff, I will mention to customers that they are software modems and explain it to them the disadventages likes it will only work with 95/98 and it slows their computer down and stuff but most people will still buy them cause they're 1/2 the price of regular modems]. However, usually LINUX users [I can tell as they will ask for Hardware Modems or ask if it is WinMOdem] will buy hardware modems. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Aldrich Sent: Monday, August 09, 1999 10:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] setup my PCI modem ! It's PROBABLY a "WinModem" which means that, for the forseeable future, it's a paperweight. I've heard rumors that, due to the spread of this nasty creature, that there is probably going to be some support for them in an upcoming kernel, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting. Until then, I'd take it back to where you got it and buy an external modem. 99.999% of the external modems are going to be "Linux-Compatible." A WinModem (or HSP modem) requires software to EMULATE hardware, which is why it's so doggone cheap!

[newbie] Setup for Linux on a Dual Drive Computer
Hello All, Ok here is the Thing. I am going to purchase a new Hard drive for my system sometime this week. When I get it I am going to run Linux on the old one I have. I have a Compaq Presario 2240 with a 2.1 gig drive. Right now I have it partitions so the Linux Mandrake uses 1.1 gigs of space and Win95 uses the other 1 gig. Well I am running out of space on the drive. I am going to be getting a 4 gig drive that I am going to have Win95 on (I have a Wife and 2 kids, They don't understand Linux YET) So what I am going to do is run Linux on the 2.1 gig drive. I think Mandrake will like the extra space don't you?? :) What I need to know is how I am to set it up. Will Disk Druid and the Setup see the other HD, and Beable to modify the MBR for LILO/LEELO ???

All of it should go pretty easily. Here's how I'd go about it: 1) Create a boot disk for Linux and ensure that it works correctly. Write down what partition number the root of the Linux drive is (/dev/hda2, etc). 2) Edit /etc/fstab and modify the partition information so it reflects the moving of the drive (ie, if it's currently hda1, modify that to hdb1, etc). 3) Move the Linux disk to slave on the primary IDE controller (hdb) and put the new drive as master on the primary controller. 3) Install Windows on the new harddrive. 4) Boot Linux with your boot floppy and use the root= LILO option. LILO: linux root=/dev/hdb1 # for example, use the partition # number you wrote down in (1) 5) Edit /etc/lilo.conf and modify the root= lines in the Linux stanzas. Insert a stanza for dual-booting into Windows (although, if you've already got Windows, it'll probably already be there...) 6) Run /sbin/lilo to update the boot record (this will install it onto the new drive). 7) Reboot the machine and let LILO boot from the hard drive to ensure everything works and all the other partitions are mounting correctly. Hope it all goes well! Ask if you need more info. -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
