[newbie-it] apache e permessi
ciao, Scusate se riposto ma spero che qualche d'uno mi risponda e possa aiutarmi. Io ho un problema molto urgente, non riesco ad usare apache da utente,non mi permette di salvare i files nella documentroot . Tentativi fatti: 1) chmod a+rwx /var/www # nessun effetto. 2) ho aggiunto con (userdrake) l'utente al gruppo apache #nessun effetto 3)la mia versione è una mdk 8.0 con apache 1.3.19 ci sono 2 files ci configurazione: commonhttpd.conf e httpd.conf ,quest'ultimo include il primo. La prima direttiva è : Users che di default era apache ed io ho cambiato con il nome utente , e lo stesso ho fatto per la direttiva Group,ho arrestato e riavviato apache ma anche in questo caso niente da fare. Ad un controllo con ls -la tutte le dir e i files sono di apache e root. Spero vivamente che qualcuno mi voglia dare una mano perchè non so che pesci pigliare. ciao e grz lobax

though that the ICQ, Quake, and raudio modules have
all disappeared in the 2.4 kernel series for now.
There's now an irc module and ftp module but thats it.

Re: [newbie] Install help
A fresh install takes me less than 45 mins on my AMD k6II 450, with 256mb ram. I understand that upgrades take hours (never done one) so it appears that you did an upgrade rather than a clean install. Are you sure you did an install and not an upgrade, did you format the partitions /root /usr and others (or the entire disk for that matter) during your install ? I suggest you back up anything you need and install again, when you get to partitions to use in your install process make sure you format everything (except /home if you have it in a separate partition and want to keep it) You can also leave /usr/local alone if it is a separate partition from /usr.

So, since I have multiple kernels to boot to, I use VMWare in kernel 2.4.5. This made it compile it's own kernel modules, and I haven't seen that problem since. Are you running VMWare?

I have a 1.2GHz AMD running on the A7V133 and am very pleased with it, in particularly the feature/price ratio. The extra ATA100 controller is welcome when you have 2 CD-ROMS, a ZIP, and 3 IDE drives. But, people may have good arguments why you should pay $15-$25 more for the A7A266 (DDR RAM support maybe ...)

Re: [newbie] How are the dirs. structured?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Because Linux is a multi-user system, there are several branches of the directory tree. First, there is root ( / ), where the whole directory tree is rooted (sorry about that...) and where system-wide files are stored. By this I mean programs, utilities, logs, and the like. Most logs are found somewhere in /var. Most temp files are in /tmp. Most programs are somewhere in /usr, /opt, or /bin. Then, there is the special branch for individual user accounts, /home. In /home are all the user directories (on my laptop, there are two directories, /home/dave and /home/public). If you want a downloads directory, either let users create their own under their home directory (/home/dave/downloads, for example), or create a public directory (/home/public on my laptop). If you go with a global public directory, be sure to set the permissions correctly. If each user has their own download directory in their home directory, then let them create it so that they own it. You can also create a /pub directory (off root), which could be a global downloads directory. Again, be sure to set the permissions correctly. This setup is commonly found on ftp servers. As for programs that you compile, you can either leave them in your home directory (or in a subdirectory, maybe called bin) for your use only, or you can install them for anyone to use, in /usr/local/bin or whatever. Any good book on running Linux will give you the basics of the Linux directory tree, and where things generally go.

[newbie] SCSI CD-ROM not recognised at setup...
SCSI CD-ROM not recognised at setup...so I borrowed an IDE CD from another machine. Mandrake 8 set itself up perfectly, even finding and mounting the SCSI CD (which neither RedHat or Mandrake could find in the setup routine). So far so good. I put the IDE CD back in to its machine, and run Mandrake. No problem until I try to install a printer. Then it says please insert the setup device... /mnt/cdrom is there even though the CD is no longer in the machine. I commented out the /mnt/cdrom line in fstab and rejigged the /mnt/cdrom2 line so that the machine finds the CD ROM. The line in fstab that I edited started as: /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0 and I changed it to /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0 and /mnt/cdrom now finds the SCSI CD-ROM. IS this right? I still have problems though when in X with installing rpms. Someone told me I should recompile the kernel, but I cannot find the source and would need a good HOW-TO for that.

[newbie] new hard drive won't boot with scsi present
not strictly a mandrake problem but impinging on my ability to use it fully if any you folks can help me i'd be very grateful, scenario: fic va503+ mb with 6gb udma 33 drive and 3.2gb scsi drive attached via advansys ultra scsi adapter plus other stuff, all works no problem booting off the ide drive using lilo to choose between win and linux, that is, up till now THEN! i bought a seagate 30gb udma100 drive to replace the 6 gb one, i used the seagate utility to toggle the udma of this new drive to 2 (33) since that is all my motherboard supports and used partition magic to clone the partitions off the old drive to the new, swapped, fdisk /mbr'ed the new drive and rebooted, expecting to go straight into windows, but it hangs after initialising the scsi bios the hard drive led flashes and the floppy led stays permanently on, swap the old drive back and everything id fine, if i put the new drive back and then remove the SCSI drive the machine boots! this does not make sense to me, why would the new drive care that a scsi drive was present when the old one doesn't? both ide drives are set to be master, both are the only ide drive present at the time, both will boot with no other drive present but only the older one will boot wioth the scsi drive present also, with both the new drive and the scsi present the floppy won't boot either, clearly there is an issue connected to the very first part of the boot process but it goes beyond my knowledge, if i use an old isa (non busmastering) scsi card then the system will boot from the new drive with the scsi drive present, but now the scsi dos partitions have the wrong letters and this card is no good for me as the card isn't fast enough, using the isa scsi card i installed lilo onto the new drive and i can now get the lilo prompt and i can boot linux but not win98! any one with any ideas or some good reason for thinking that the new drive is faulty will be doing me a great favour, there are too many variables for me to just phone up dabs and tell them that their drive isn't working properly bascule p.s. having messed about a bit i find that with the new drive and the scsi drive present the floppy drive wont boot...off win 9x disks! it will boot a linux boot disk and also a dos 6.22 disk,

I also removed the Winmodem PCI card as well but also no change. All the PCI slots are now vacant leaving only the Video card in the AGP slot. So now onto your next suggestion. Will take me a while to carefully work my way through the Kernel update. Had a play with the ICeWM and really the same problem happens here too. A bit more info for you, I have win98 on hda (4Gb) and MD7.2 on hdb (2Gb) a little easier for me to partition this way. I also installed MD2 directly from the CDs using a boot-up floppy. In the BIOS I have PNP OS Installed = NO. I have MD8 available on two CDs, should I attempt this install, or should I resolve my problem first ??? Many thanks for your interest in my problem. Gordon Stewart Just for laughs, see if you can duplicate this behavior with the SB removed. It sounds like an overload on the PCI bus from what you have described.

This was one of the reasons that Phil Zimmerman, who invented PGP, left them - although he says that 7.0.3. is secure and was finished under his watch, we have only his word for it whereas if the source was available we could (if we were so minded) walk through the code and satisfy ourselves as to its integrity. For non-commercial use, there are 6xx releases of PGP with published source; or there's GPG.
[newbie] Network File Sharing
I have a question regarding NFS. After nearly 30 hours over two days and redoing the basic install of 7.2 on both of my machines, I have my two machines networked together and can ping each successfully. I installed the network utilities, nfs and portmap, and have edited my /etc/exports files to read: /usr *.localdomain /home *.localdomain I have also edited my /etc/fstab to include: john:/usr /fsys/john/usr NFS defaults john:/home /fsys/john/usr NFS defaults I did a /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd to start the daemon I did a /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start Then I did a /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start (The last two commands were suggested by someone on the list, but were not in my books.) I checked the Mandrake site for a tutorial on NFS, but all there is is a basic networking tutorial, and how to do IP masquerading. The mounting proceedure is not working and I'm wondering if I'm missing something?? Thanks, Michael
Re: [newbie] Network File Sharing
are you exporting from just one machine to the other? the /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs and /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd are - i think - for serving from one machine to the 'receiving' machine, you need to have nfs-utils-clients on the other machine, i assume you have installed either or both of nfs-utils or nfs-utils-clients on the appropriate machines? have you tried to mount manually? 'mount -t nfs machine.domain:/path/on/other/machine /path/on/this/machine' also, in your fstab i notice that you have just 'john', assuming that is a machine name i wonder if you need to use a domain name as well or make sure you have aliases in your /etc/hosts file? bascule On Tuesday 12 June 2001 11:14 pm, you wrote: I have a question regarding NFS.

On June 12, 2001 12:26 am, you wrote: Dan ; The Tiny Firewall in LM 8.0 is actually Bastille-Firewall. In the /etc folder, you should find another folder called Bastille (/etc/Bastille) .

It's as easy to modify as smb.conf , and has pretty good descriptions about all the stuff it does. Save the changes, and restart the firewall or (Gasp!) reboot !

Im thinking of using it as a router for our company we have a lan with 10 pcs and a novell server (ouch) but since our ElsaLancom (never buy it) chrashes every 10 minutes i was wondering if Single Network Firewall firewall is an possibly easy to use alternative? If i did all the networks stuff by myself i would use a MDK8 version but since there are people taking care of the networking who dont have experience with linux i like the idea of boot a cd install boot and hop were up. Another question is if there are possibillities of putting ssh etc. servers on the Single Network Firewall? Do i expect too much ... little? Florian OK i did it finally a few impressions : At first i had slight problems cause i have a cable connection and two nics in the firewall machine one 3com (pci) it worked fine and got detected right away its the one wich goes to my cablemodem, the second nick (icl etherteam 16i ISA) did not get detected by SNF and since SNF doesnt include hardware configuration tools and i dint want to write the config files by hand (ough) and mess around with the modules (at 3 o clock in the night!) i cancelled the attempt and went to sleep zzz* . Next day ... went to my supplier bought a tulip pci and it worked like a charm right away using expert install finally it got both nics and i could (like in any other MDK system) configure everything at the install prozess one nick for lan with static ip and one for the modem with dhcpcd. Boot and hop . The interface from any browser looks smooth and is pretty detailed although the status for bastille firewall is marked as unknown but it is enabled and filters everything nicenice you can configure all your needs from this interface. At one place (i think it was secure login config) you need to have a java enabled browser ... (konqueror didnt work even with java) but all other options dont need any java so konqueror is just fine (actually it rules!!!) ill do some tests now to have a look if it does its job well (nmap will tell me =)) . My impression is that its rocksolid and will never need a reboot also the monitor you can leave away after instalation is complete . An ssh server is included . Now i need a little more docs to find out all extras (sure there are a lot) for example port forwarding to internal services such as ftp http etc. I can strongly recommend to replace your ElsaLancom or any other hardware router with this cute little linux software router !!! Cheers ps: since the interface is https:// based use a pc with atleast 150mhz cpu and a little bit more ram for SNF it will go smoother . Mine is just that kind of machine and i feel that i wouldn use slower cause the interface worx but is not the fastest actually weird if i connect with konqueror to the firewall i get a 7.5KB/sec (over LAN ) thats too slow must be a mandrake8 prob. cause with IE5 it goes a lot quicker ... and to connect with ssh to the firewall takes about 2 mins before it finally asks for a pass ... any ideas? Florian That is a resolution problem on the delay--a resolver has to give up looking for nameservices to allow things to go through. And remember it is https and we all know how great the security is for IE5. Https sacrifices speed for security. There are also some interesting squid options, like putting popup ads into 1-pixel transparencies or just plain blocking things like doubleclick.net. Civileme
[newbie] Bash scripts portability
Dear List, I wonder if someone can offer assistance. One of my hobbies at school is to write bashscripts for our two proxy servers. I usually write them on my home network, which runs Suse 7.0. Our two proxy servers also run SuSE Linux 7.0. The problem I am having is that when I take a bash script from home (which works), and try and run it on the proxy server, I either get one of the following error messages: bash: /usr/bin/script : not found bash: /usr/bin/script Line X command not found (Line X being the last line in the script which is blank) Does anybody know why, or indeed what causes this, and if so, how do I correct it.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Have you verified that dhcpcd is installed? Use 'locate dhcpcd', and you should find it in /sbin (along with several other hits, but the actual executable is in the above directory). If it is not installed, just install it, then re-run the network configurator in Mandrake's Control Center. If it is installed, then try disabling dhcp and giving yourself a static IP. Can you reach the network after that? If not, then your problem is somewhere else. If yes, then you might have a dhcp problem. Just some troubleshooting tips, hope they help.

Re: [newbie] device /usr busy? SAY WHAT?
Hey group I just got some weird errors when I went to either shut down or reboot the server. It said something like /usr was busy and it retried to umount again approx 3 or 4 times, has anyone else had this error and know how to correct it so on bootup it does not have to do a fsck of the usr ? Did that start to happen after upgrading to a new version? I had that happen when I upped 7.1 to 7.2. In the end I had to reformat /usr and install again to get rid of the problem. But what caused it... still don't know. Paul

i get the error 'too many levels of symbolic links' after trying to cd to a symlink i made to a directory and i'm sure the error can't mean what it appears to mean, my directory structure is: /stuff/ftpsite/linux/../i586/ and i made a symlink to the aformentioned /i586 directory named /stuff/i586 so as to save me time, but when i cd to /stuff/i586 i get the above error /stuff is a top level mount point of a partition the command i used was [root@sherlock /stuff]#ln -s /stuff/ftpsite//i586 /stuff/i586 what have i done wrong? bascule
Re: [newbie] error: failed dependencies:
Michael Falzon, First, please try not to post htmlized e-mails to the list. Some e-mail clients add all kinds of extra html tags, reduce the size of the font such that it is unreadable, or change the color to a grayish color, making it much more difficult to read. Looks like at the very least, you are going to have to get perl-base that is at least 5.601-1, then try a 'rpm -Uvh perl-*.i586.rpm' (without the quotes). If that still doesn't work, you can try 'rpm -Uvh --force perl-*.i586.rpm' (without the quotes).

Re: [newbie] Small script for my signature
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The 'uptime' command will give you the information you want. Just put it in a script, and create a cron job to run it every 24 hours (or better yet, every hour). Dave On Tuesday 12 June 2001 14:01, thus spake Leif Madsen: Hey all, I'm looking for a script that I can use to output a signature for me. It's easy enough to have KMail use a file for the signature, so that is fine. What I'm looking for is a script or program to make a new signature every 24 hours. What I want to do is add something like this: Linux Mandrake running stable for 'X' number of days without reboot! or something to that affect. Any ideas?
