httrack and libhttrack1 are both in contrib. Declare an online source for 
contrib and you can install them with your software install GUI.
To add a contrib source open a terminal, enter 'su' (without quotes) to become 
root user, then type

urpmi.addmedia contrib 
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/10.1/i586/media/contrib 
with media_info/hdlist.cz

That command is all on one line, and is assuming you are using Mandrake 10.1
That source in Spain is nice and fast. I can recommend it.

thank you for the explanation.
it did not work, the package source manager
of my Mandrakelinux Control Center 10
still only listed the 3 install CDs,
but i now added your ftp source there.
i do use mandrake 10.1 official, what do you use as main source ?
unfortunately http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ is often down these days.
is it possible that my system has
configuration files in read-only ?
when i open a console, it says:
bash: TMOUT: readonly variable
i also tried to change the language using LocaleDrake
and after a reboot everything is still in german,
although LocaleDrake now lists english as i want it.

I wonder if that message bash: TMOUT: readonly variable may be because you 
have set a high security level? That might also explain why you are unable to 
use su to become root user. (If that is why you are unable to use 
'urpmi.addmedia') For a desktop computer 'standard' security level is quite 
adequate.

If you want to define an online source for 'main' so you can remove the CD 
sources, then use this command (or similar if you prefer a different mirror)
urpmi.addmedia main 
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/10.1/i586/media/main 
with media_info/hdlist.cz

Darryl,

An SQL database accessed and maintained with PHP might work for you.
You might want to take a look at that one...I used to used SQL and PHP with
IRIX so I
am fairly confident that you could get this running on Linux. PHP is
somewhat similar to Perl so
if you have some knowledge there (which I would assume you do based on the
Linux experience)
it so should not be hard for you to pick it up.

Check the PHP site for more info:

RE: [newbie] Website

 What about mySQL? Seems pretty popular. There's also
 Adabas(sp?), postgres, etc. For a database with CGI, you can have
a look at MetaKit, http://www.equi4.com/metakit/

Unless you need something very complex, one of the most versatile
ways of handling simple database functions is with some simple
scripts and standard UNIX tools to search, format and output data
records.  A lot can be done with

cat database | grep search_string  format_script

Add a dash of TCL/TK and you can really get cooking on the I/O side
of things.

Re: [newbie] Website

2000-06-28 Thread Ed Tharp

what club is it?  a couple of important questions here would be... how
many members, will the free website allow cgi and perl scripts? (most
free sites do not) how large a "database" are you considering and does
the data need to be relational or answer structural queries or will it
be a flat spreadsheet type of data. do you need 24/7 access? most of
what you are suggesting may be easest to do with password access to
subfolders, html tables, cgi and perl, but if the data has to be instant
updating (dynamic) you will need to have a server that allows CGI. you
can setup a dynmic DNS server from your own dial up connection to run
certain hours using some free services, but most ISP frown on your
staying connected 24/7 and will disconnect you daily. 
As far as composer, I have set up a type of listing using only HTML
tables and forms, and had the infromation sent via e-mail to my dialup
e-mail account, updating the tables from home and ftp the updated page
to my free webpage. (was kinda labor intensive for my tastes, and if you
want some info on how to set up your own dynamic dns web site, do a
search fo drangonmount networks and see what they offer

 The web page will be on a "free" ISP providers machine.
 
 Our Oracle guru passed on the project, so being the clubs Linux "guru,"

 was dismayed not to find a database application. Nor did I find any
 apps. in KDE that would seem to fit the bill.
 
 Any suggestions on how I might accomplish this task?
 
 Can Netscape Composer handle this task, or do I need something more
 powerful?
 
 Do I need an HTML compliant database? CGI?
 
 Can Gnumeric function as a database?

MySQL would do for a database system, those bases are good. (Still have
not worked this out on my own machine, lack of time, so no experience
between chair and keyboard here.)

Do I need an HTML compliant database? CGI?

CGI would be good, or Perl support. Perl can access all kinds of databases
and/or file types. CGI would however require a webserver, afaik.

Can Gnumeric function as a database?

Doubtful. It is a GNome-based spreadsheetprogram, not something that would
work on a web-server.

Do you intend to manage the data offline, generate a bunch of fresh pages
and whop those on the web? Perhaps a program like text2html would then
work for you? I have seen this in use on several sites. Should not be too
hard to track that down.

Just some suggestions.

Paul

really not that tough.

Use subdirs with access control.

Passwords and users allow this.

In other words the default 5 gig you get with an ISP?

Take a look at MySQL. Combine that with phpMyAdmin and you have a perfect
combination. Ask nice, advertise Mandrake and I may help you out further.

Seriously, on your Mandrake distro disks you have almost everything you
need to do this. I can probably package phpMyAdmin later this week so you
can have that if you prefer an RPM. (hmmm... have to look, I may already
have packaged. check cooker).

 
 Any suggestions on how I might accomplish this task?

Yes, use the default tools with your distro. Install the mandrake server
or develop option and you have all you need.


 
 Can Netscape Composer handle this task, or do I need something more
 powerful?
 

Most of what you need to do can be done in composer. You will probably
need to use a little php3 but nothing outside a day or so learning.


 Do I need an HTML compliant database? CGI?

use php3 and save yourself a headack.


 
 Can Gnumeric function as a database?
 

Not for what you need.


Please let me know if you need any more info or suggestions.
