E' propio necessario abilitare il virtual hosting? In fondo è solo una
prova qui sulla mia macchina.
Non è asolutamnte necessario, ma così impari più cose, altrimenti dovevi
crearti una subdir e mettere tutto li, del tipo
http://localhost/subdirnuke/
La cosa che non ho ASSOLUTAMENTE chiara è phpMyAdmin: cosa è e a che
serve (e quindi cosa ci devo fare e come lo devo fare).
E' un'interfaccia in PHP verso MySql, quindi vale lo stesso discorso che è
stato fatto per PHP Nuke. Io non ho, per ora, installata la MDK 8.2 e non so
se è previsto un pacchetto che gestisca phpmyadmin.
Per ora ho seguito le guide di spaghettibrain.
Qualcosa ho ottenuto.
alla pagina http:localhost/admin.php mi parte uno pseudo portale con
numerosi messaggi di errore tutti che indirizzano ad un file solo:
/var/www/html/includes/sql_layer.php
Inoltre al primo accesso non dovrei avere la richiesta di userID
epassword dell'amministratore (che la prima volta dovrebbero essere
God e Password)?
Mi sono scordato di postare il messaggio di errore:
Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
Questo accade perchè non riesce a connettersi a MySql.
Una cosa che devi fare è creare l'utente MySql e poi il DataBase
Di seguito inserisco il suggerimento datomi da Pieruigi Fiorini tempo fa
...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start
[se non è avviato mysql al boot]
mysqladmin -u root password 'password_di_root'
mysql_setpermission -u root
[ti chiede la password di root]
[scegli 2 dalla lista e crea un utente, un database, dagli una password
all'utente e scegli localhost come server, dopo esci con 0 se non erro]
edita /etc/my.cnf scrivendo
[mysql]
user=root
pass=password_di_root
...
Come si aggiungono altri utenti non l'ho ancora provato...
Ora devi creare il db per Nuke. Ti consiglio di usare phpmyadmin (che
ovviamente deve essere configurato attraverso il suo config.inc.php)
...
$cfgServers[1]['host'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL hostname
$cfgServers[1]['port'] = ''; // MySQL port - leave blank
for default port
$cfgServers[1]['socket']= ''; // Path to the socket - leave
blank for default socket
$cfgServers[1]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; // How to connect to MySQL
server ('tcp' or 'socket')
$cfgServers[1]['stduser'] = ''; // MySQL standard user
settings (this user must have read-only
$cfgServers[1]['stdpass'] = ''; // access to the
mysql/user and mysql/db tables)
$cfgServers[1]['auth_type'] = 'config'; // Authentication method
(config, http or cookie based)?
$cfgServers[1]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user
$cfgServers[1]['password'] = 'password'; // MySQL password
(only needed with 'config' auth)
$cfgServers[1]['only_db'] = ''; // If set to a db-name, only
this db is displayed at left frame
...
Cosi non ti verrà chiesta la password all'avvio di phpmyadmin.
Ho volutamente omesso altre informazioni che reputo secondarie, ma ho notato
che lo spirito di asplorazione non ti manca, quindi fammi sapere se avrai
bisogno di ulteriori notizie.
Comunque sia fammi sapere...

Re: [newbie-it] problemi con scheda audio
in questo caso ci sono delle verifiche da fare. La prima, la più semplice, è quella di verificare se i volumi del mixer non sono settati, per caso, a zero. E' successo più di una volta che mdk setti, in sede di installazione, i volumi a zero. Per fare questo devi accedere al menù K, quindi: Multimedia - Suono - Mixer sonoro. Lanci il programma e verifichi i volumi. utilizzando il mixer sonoro nn ci sono i cursori Se usi Grub devi fare così: Ovviamente devi fare il login come root - Vai nella cartella /boot/grub/ - Apri il file menu.lst - Troverai due righe simili a queste: title linux kernel (hd1,5)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb6 hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount quiet nobiospnp vga=788 se hai devfs=mount devi sostituire, come vedi sopra devfs=nomount quiet nobiospnp ecc. - cioè deve essere come la riga di esempio sopra facendo rimanere inalterata la parte che precede devfs.

Re: [newbie] mp3 encoder for MDK8.2
If I can just add one thing. Another good reason to use Ogg is that it is so easy to encode CD's using the Audio I/O slave. Just put a CD in the drive and then in Konqueror select 'Services' in the left hand pane then 'Audio CD BrowserOgg Vorbis' then drag and drop the tracks into another konqueror window and its done... The ogg parameters are set in KDE ControlCentreSound, but in KDE2.2 it ignores the encoding rate parameter and always encodes at 350kbps KDE3.0 works correctly If anyone knows how to set the encoding rate correctly for KDE2.2 I would be grateful. The konqueror audio I/O slave can also encode mp3's this way, but I think you have to have the lame library installed when KDE is compiled, so the standard Mandrake KDE does not do it. derek On Saturday 20 April 2002 2:02 am, you wrote: On Wed, 2002-04-17 at 21:19, Sridhar Dhanapalan wrote: The adavntage of Ogg Vorbis is not its compression speed, but rather that it is an entirely different format from MP3.

Anyone can legally write an Ogg Vorbis encoder, and I'm sure that people will once the official one reaches 1.0 (it's in the Release Candidate stage right now). Ogg Vorbis is a far more advanced format than MP3. It can attain similar quality to an MP3 file in about half the space, or twice the quality in the same space. Wow...new information. Thanks, Sridhar! With its benefits of improved compression and quality, Ogg Vorbis is bound to take longer to compress than MP3. But you only need to compress a file once, and you can listen to it an unlimited number of times. I would take better quality over encoding speed any day :) I'll sure as heck second that. The only disadvantage is that so far there is only one known portable player for the format (the Sharp Zaurus), but that will change.

Re: [newbie] LinuxEBDA too big
Sorry for the late answer Frank - I'm very behind with the mail. Hopefully there have been other responses that I have missed, but in case you are still waiting This is usually a result of upgrading the kernel rather than installing it alongside the old one. Some links get screwed up in /boot and things no longer match. (so much for the technical explanation ;-) The easiest way out if you are not happy configuring things in the CLI is to boot with the first install CD, choose expert mode and select upgrade. Choose no new packages, and run through a quick install. This won't delete any data and will get you a bootable system albeit with the original kernel in place. To install a new kernel, download the rpm, become root and use the: rpm -ivh kernel-xyz-123.rpm approach. HTH Brian On Fri, 2002-04-19 at 12:16, F.

However, I have seen an argument that it actually makes the legibility worse -- IIRC, the argument was that it may create create distracting vertical channels of whitespace if the double spaces on subsequent lines match up (or almost match up). (I don't know if the argument was specifically for fixed or variable pitch fonts or for either case.) I still believe double spaces make text more readable (especially with a fixed pitch font) -- my eyes seem to pick out the end of sentences more quickly, or something along those lines.

[newbie] rpm -V and missing /dev files
Hi I made a fresh installation of 8.2 couple of days ago and today when I did rpm -V, it said that there are a LOT of missing /dev files among other stuff. Those reported missing don't exist on my system (like /dev/fd1, /dev/fd2...), but the /dev files that my system has are all reported as ...DL.G. Has there gone something wrong during installation? I don't remember seeing anything like this on previous distros (ML or RH). Another thing that I noticed is that there are directories (/var/db, /var/local, /var/mail) which have timestamps like 4-6 years old. The common thing among those dirs is that they are empty. When the installer creates a new directory to my disk how is it possible that its MTime is that much incorrect? Cheers, J. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Barry First off I have no experience without a windows partition where lilo goes in MBR Second, shouldn't the second hard drive be hdb1, hdb5, hdb6,hdb7,hdb8 and not hdd1 etc. Thirdly, when you constructed lilo did you take care to ensure that the correct kernel version and initrd files went with the correct OS your're trying to boot. this is most important.Take time to go over all the entries making sure that the label,kernel version, initrd image file, append= line are all correct for each OS. Fourth, even though you have two swap partitions, it is not actually necessary, it is best to have one large swap partition about 1 1/2 X the size of your memory positioned about half way into your hard drive.That aids data flows. Fith, I think It is ok to have /boot partition on second hard drive. and you have it as your first partition, size ought to be enough to install at least 3 kernels(they seem to average somewhere around 13MB or so each) in case you should want to try an experimental kernel at some time without having to remove one to get it in.I tend to have 100MB just for goot measure. So, I suspect you merely have to learn how to get the lilo stanza for each OS right then all will boot correctly. I am not sure how you remove lilo in an all mandrake box, I do mine with a dos switch , fdisk /mbr because mine is installed in MBR of windows. but if possible remove it and reinstall a new lilo via DrakX install -expert mode-update- and do not select any new packages when you get to lilo install proceed accordingly. Alternatively if you do have a desktop in at least one of your chosen mandrake OS's then go to /etc/lilo.conf with a text editor and remake the stanzas save and exit, not forgetting to run/sbin/lilo to check all is well before rebooting. Finally here are two simple examples of lilo stanzas,adapt yours accordingly. image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.8-19mdk label=linux-8.1 root=/dev/hdb7 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.8-19mdk.img append= hdd=ide-scsi devfs=mount vga=791 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk label=linux-8.2 root=/dev/hdb5 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-6mdkimg append=hdd=ide-scsi devfs=mount vga=791 read-only Hope this helps, John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Install on laptop no cdrom, 48MB RAM Net install error 52MB RAM needed
Hello List, I have an Mitsubishi Amity CN notebook, Pentium 133MHz 48MB RAM (which is it's maximum capacity), with a 1.5GB hard drive with which I'd like to dual boot Win98 and Linux-Mandrake 8.2. I can connect to the Internet and LAN via a Netgear FA411 PCMCIA NIC under Win9x. I have set aside 128MB for swap space and 550MB for / (I am not interested in trying to run X on this little thing). I'd like to do a network install. I can mount the CD in another box and make a network connection to it but I get an error message stating that 52MB RAM is needed. The drakx README might be saying I could use a ramdisk but I don't know what that is or how to set one up. I've included some of the README below. Maybe you can help me. Thanks, Jon * PCMCIA install *** If the media you use to install is a pcmcia device, use the pcmcia boot disk. * Ramdisk or not *** The DrakX install is much bigger than the newt one. So the ramdisk which was used is getting big, and costs a lot in memory (eg: the mdkinst_stage2 is 14MB - 23/09/99) (update! now size is 21MB - 24/01/01) | | newt| DrakX |---+-+- - | nfs | live| live | ftp | ramdisk | ramdisk | http | ramdisk | ramdisk | hd| ramdisk | live if Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/runinstall2 is a link, | | | ramdisk otherwise | cdrom | ramdisk | live if memory 52MB, ramdisk otherwise Where ramdisk is needed, if detected memory is below the limit allowed for ramdisk (maintained in file gi/mdk-stage1/config-stage1.h; currently 52 Mb), a failure dialog will be printed explaining that there is not enough memory to perform the installation. When i say live, it means that the stage1 will *mount* the Mandrake/mdkinst and use it that way. The ramdisk is used in place of the live in some cases. This ramdisk is filled with mdkinst_stage2.gz For cdrom install, the ramdisk is used to speed up things (access time is quite high on cdrom drives) For pcmcia, it depends on the type of install. -- Jon Dowd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Support Technician 482-TECH (8324) or, 1-800 419-4804 InfoStructure IVO http://www.mind.net - 8am-11pm M-F, 10am-7pm SS --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

(BTW those initrd and kernel images should say 2.4.18-xxmdk, the ones titled vmlinuz and initrd are just links). Save the boot configuration reboot and enjoy.

Re: [newbie] MP3 Download
There are several good download managers. They work not only for MP3s but for anything you might want to download. I prefer Aria and (for FTP) gFTP, both of which are on your LM installation disks. You'll find lots of other options on the disks, too. Give them a try and see which you like best. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras http://www.srcopan.vze.com/ On Sat, 20 Apr 2002 11:21:18 -0400 Brian York [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is their a good progam that can be used to download music in linux?

Re: [newbie] Ogg Vorbis conversions
I have several thousand mp3's I would like to convert to OGG. Hmm. Probably I would do this in a script. I belivee mpg123 has a decode option to wav and then you can take the wav output and use oggenc to convert it to an ogg file. mpg123 -s does seem to send the stream to stdout, but it doesn't seem to be enough to provide a file that oggenc can recognize. On a test mp3 I tried it on, it seems to process the file rather too quickly, and the file is fairly large, but 'file' only says it's data. oggenc doesn't recognize it as a supported format. However, mpg123 is supposed to output in raw 16 bit sample mode, something that oggenc is supposed to handle. You might need to filter the output of mpg123 through 'sox' and then to oggenc, perhaps. Sox is one bitch of a program to figure out, though. I'd do some experiments with switches and once you find the magic incantation, use that as part of the script. Wrong switches will generally produce *very strange sounding files :). At any rate I'd be inclined to use a pipe so that you don't have huge temporary files lying around. And probably someone has developed an easy to use shell or perl script to do this already :). Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] What would be the standard document format?
Clearly, you weren't in Mrs. Watling's typing class. If you had, you'd know that two spaces after a period are not a preference, they are a Commandment. Pure and simple. End of discussion. fjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfj :) That's how I learned it in high school as well. It's only when I started trying TeX adn other systems where you want to suppress putting two spaces after a period. In regular dumb word processing, yes, you'd put in the extra space after a period, but TeX is smart enough that it'll figure things out, and only one space needs to be after a period, at least in the source file. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
