latest mozilla build broke?
I appears that the latest Mozilla build is drastically broken. The last download that I obtained had the 2001060713 build. If you go to my website and click on the broswer info link, everything is fine. The Java installed is: Java Plug-in 1.3.0_01 After installing the latest build, I copied over the contents of the old plugin directory to the new. I then went to a site and the browser froze immediately. I tried it again, freeze :-( So, what the Hell, try displaying the browser info to see if anything is strange. It was alright, instant freeze. Renamed the java .so link so that it won't find it. Instant freeze. What good is this version if all it does is freeze this easily? Anhone else having this problem with the 12/18/01 build?

Apache VirtualHosts and port numbers
Hi, i have apache 1.3.19-5 running virtual hosts on port 80 i want to add a virtual host that should run on another port number If i add the port number in the VirtualHost tag, this should work.

Is RAID difficult to set up ? Which RAID, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, etc. shall be more applicable to my case ? RAID 0 is striping and is used *only* for performance reasons. If you don't think you'll need the additional performance, don't use it. You will lose redundancy in favor of the performance. If either drive fails, you lose your data. RAID 1 is mirroring. When you do your initial Red Hat Linux 7.2 install, you can configure this, and it's easy - it's well documented in the Installation Guide and takes an extra 5 or 10 minutes to set up, and then it just runs without you having to do anything else. It's what I run at home. RAID 5 is striping + mirroring. I recommend that this not be done on IDE drives unless you've invested in extra controllers. You need at least 3 drives to make a RAID 5 set. RAID 0+1 will give you the highest performance at the expense of the most drives. For a home system, RAID 1 is no longer out of the reach of the average PC purchaser. I added 2 40GB ATA100 dri ves on the Promise TX2 controller for about $240. I mirror the first 10GB of data so that leaves me 70GB of usuable space. That's a lot of disk space for not a lot of money.

Whether a special controller with 3 channels for connecting 3 hard discs is needed ? Or you need 3/5 controllers for 3/5 hard discs ? What kind of controller it is ? You can do this in hardware or software. Ideally, you always want each member of a RAIDset on a separate channel, especially with IDE drives that don't support transfers to multiple devices on the same channel at the same time. RAID 0+1 will give you the highest performance at the expense of the most drives. Is RAID 0+1 similar to RAID 5 in function/performance ? RAID 0+1 is faster for all writes, and a bit slower for reads. Whether its controller has 4 channels for connnecting 4 hard discs Can I use only 2 hard discs with partitions for RAID 0+1 instead of 4 hard discs ? It wouldn't make sense to do RAID 0+1 on only 2 drives. If you stripe (RAID 0) across 2 partitions on the same drive, you'll thrash yourself doing reads. If you mirror across 2 partitions on the same drive, you won't protect yourself against a head crash. For a home system, RAID 1 is no longer out of the reach of the average PC purchaser.

The un-mirrored 30GB on each drive is for data that doesn't need protection - my backups from other systems, ISO images, etc. Are you using the primary/secondary channel of your motherboard to connect a hard disc for backup ?

Re: 3com 574 PCMCIA problems. (cardmgr error ./config.opts, no function bindings)
Thank you very much for the help, David, Inserted a very old 3ccfe574BT PCMCIA ethernet card into my newly installed RedHat 7.2 laptop and heard the customary 2 beeps, the green light on the network card appeared... and all seemed well. Looks like the card's fine; you just need to configure a network. You're absolutely right, I just went ahead and created /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (which didn't even exist yet) and configured /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts and all the other network scripts and everything worked fine. Don't worry about selecting a particular card -- that's handled dynamically by the pcmcia drivers. I have to admit that I don't understand the point of that GUI application network configuration then b/c it doesn't list two of the network cards that I have managed to get working with Redhat 7.2. Looks like a Windows network properties applet, smells like one but sure doesn't walk like one. And what happened to linuxconf ... it seems to have disappeared. Therefore, you may have to restart pcmcia to get a network restart after you configure it. Yep, all working fine.

libvorbis and vorbis
Hello there, I use Redhat 7.1 and KDE2.2.2. There is always a dependency problem when I upgrade kdebase. This needs libvorbis. Instead of libvorbis I have a package called vorbis-1.0beta4-3.I downloaded a new package called libvorbis-1.0rc2-1. When I tried to installed it, there is a conflict problem: file /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0.0.1 from install of libvorbis-1.0rc2-1 conflicts with file from package vorbis-1.0beta4-3. file /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.so.0.0.1 from install of libvorbis-1.0rc2-1 conflicts with file from package vorbis-1.0beta4-3. I don't want to do a force upgrade because it can affect the other package or even the system. I can't uninstall that vorbis package either because it is needed by many other packages. Can anyone shed light on this problem technically? Any suggestion? Thank you. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Probably most important, is raid just overkill for a small office as long as tape backups can be made nightly and if we are down for 3-4 hours for a reinstall we can live with it - although not without some angst. I think this depends on your budget. Can you afford to buy spare parts before they break? If not do you have a computer store near you where you can buy new hardware? What happens if you are down for more than 3-4 hours? Can you handle that? I think if its in your budget, you should go with a hardware raid. You'd have to buy a raid card and then scsi drives. Did you already buy drives? Did you calculate these costs? 4. If I go with a raid, is tape backup still necessary on a daily basis? That depends on the data that is stored on there. If someone were to accidentally delete some files, would it matter to you? If yes, you still need tape backup. If you were to get a virus that infected numerous files, would it matter? Again, if yes, you still need backup. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: RAID Configuration
Hi BobH, On Wednesday, December 19, 2001, 3:23:14 PM, you brought forth from the deepest reaches of your consciousness: B I am considering installing a new server (samba) for file and print serving B a small medical office. I have never used raid before and I have a B questions before I buy. B 1. Should I buy a hardware raid device or rely on software raid? That's a cost/benefit issue. You should weigh your goals against your budget. B 2. Should the OS be installed on the raid or on another separate device B and then let the raid handle all the data files? In this case I would B place the print servers on the boot device with the OS. B I figure I could resinstall the OS easily but the data is the part that we B don't want to lose -- ever! If the main goal is data integrity, where you put the OS is of little consequence (IMHO). If you expect high loads it will be to your benefit. Either way, you should look into imaging the OS prior to use (but after configuration) so you don't have to reinstall, just re-image. B 3. Probably most important, is raid just overkill for a small office as B long as tape backups can be made nightly and if we are down for 3-4 hours B for a reinstall we can live with it - although not without some angst. Quite possibly. But again this is something you need to asses. Is the time you will spend setting this up, maintaining, etc. plus the additional hardware costs (multiple drives, possible RAID controller, etc.) worth what your benefits would be (speed, reliability, etc.). A small office may never even notice the benefits. Especially in a file/print sharing scenario. Things to consider are... How often do files get accessed? What level of data integrity is needed? Will this solve my (anticipated) problem? etc... B 4. If I go with a raid, is tape backup still necessary on a daily basis? ALWAYS DO BACKUPS!!! RAID is not some magic solution that would eliminate the many ways that data can get destroyed. B 5. What is considered the best tape backup program (GUI interface please B for this relative neophyte)? For back-ups there are too many choices that vary in validity based on budget/features, so I'll leave that to others. But tar from a cron job is as effective as almost anything out there. Just not pretty. ;) For the aforementioned imaging, try Mondo. http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/index.html Have fun, -- _ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ - You don't have to swim faster than the shark...

Will I be able to install RH 7.2 on another partition, write grub to the bootsector, and have Grub dual boot XP and 7.2? Or do I need to install Grub/RH 7.2 first? To answer your question, yes. Assuming you have an available partition to install Red Hat on, the installer will setup GRUB for you, and allow you to provide a label to boot XP with. Now, if you have to repartition like I did, you can install in either order, but it's simpler to reinstall XP first, then linux. The reason is that windows screws up GRUB so you have to fdisk /mbr it to get windows to boot, then you need to boot off your linux boot floopy to reinstall grub before you can boot both again. So, in short anything is possible but the simplest is windows first, then linux, grub in MBR. hth charles ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

sendmail- How to reduce header size?
Hi All, My system is working fine. I have a small annoyance...each email that I receive has 18 From: header lines added for no apparent reason. It appears that each header comes from a packet that was sent over the net and added as the message was put together (that is just a guess on my part) becuase each one has a different id. Is there a switch somewhere in sendmail to turn off all of those from lines? Or is it something in my configuration?

RE: OT-picture from text file
Covert the Word documents to PDF.
You can either buy the tools from Adobe, or, if you have a Linux box
available on the same network, you can setup a workaround. Setup a printer
on the Windows box that uses the one of the HP Laserjet PS drivers.
Configure the print settings to Print to File. This will create a
Postscript file that's easily convertable to PDF. When you print
using this
printer, save the file onto the Linux box with an extension of .ps. Then
login to the Linux box and run ps2pdf on the file. If you expect to do
this a lot, then drop the PS files into a specific directory on the Linux
box and setup a cron job and a shell script to automate the conversion.
Another option if you have samba running is to setup a samba share that will
accept a ps file and automatically convert it to a pdf. There are a couple
of sites that document this, but the short of it is you need to write a new
printer section in your samba config and override the default print
commands. Mine looks like the following:
[pdf_maker]
comment = create a pdf file
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
printable = yes
print command = /usr/local/bin/pdfmaker %H %s
lppause command =
lpresume command =
lprm command =
queuepause command =
queueresume command =
Then you will need to have a script for the print command to execute, mine
is fairly simple and I am sure there are better ways to do this.
pdfmaker
---
#!/bin/sh
# Parameters
# $1 - users home directory
# $2 - samba spool file
PDF_DIR=pdf_files
PS2PDF=/usr/bin/ps2pdf
SAMBA_SPOOL_DIR=/var/spool/samba
# Create the target directory for the pdf
# file if it does not exist
if ! [ -d ${1}/${PDF_DIR} ]; then
makdir -p ${1}/${PDF_DIR}
fi
# Convert the spool file to a pdf
${PS2PDF} ${SAMBA_SPOOL_DIR}/${2} ${1}/${PDF_DIR}/${2}.pdf
# Remove the samba spool file
rm ${SAMBA_SPOOL_DIR}/${2}
-
This creates a folder in my home share called pdf_files that contains pdf
files for each of the print jobs sent to the samba printer.

getmail + sendmail
I'm configuring getmail on the server to check our various external mailboxes and consolidate them locally into mail accounts on the server. I run sendmail as a local SMTP server and to prevent local emails from going out to the net for delivery, and was anticipating that getmail would post mail to the sendmail mailboxes. However, the getmail documentation (such as it is) says it does not need to use an MTA, but suggests that if you want to, use qmail. It supports three types of mailboxes: mbox files, qmail Maildirs or piped to a command (but not as root). The questions are: 1. If I don't use an MTA, how would I configure the WinNT email clients (Pegasus 4)? 2. Can I use sendmail as the MTA? If so, how do I configure the getmail output? 3. What's an mbox? 4. The piped to command seems a bit risky, according to the documentation: is it a good option to send the mail to sendmail?

Re: fdisk
Actually there is another alternative way to do it. look for powerquest PartitionMagic the steps: -install partition magic in friends computer. -after installation, there is a sub menu for you to create rescue disk. -create the rescue disk, then boot the Computer with the rescue disk. -it will boot up your computer with windows typed user friendly interface. there you can do whatever you want. enjoy ! - Original Message - From: dodo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: gated.redhat-list To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 12:53 PM Subject: fdisk As I install redhat I get an error that tells me the logical partition is type 0. and that this error is not defined by anaconda.

Re: RAID Configuration
Bob, buy and read the book Configuration and Capacity Planning for Solaris Servers. Chapter 7 is a MUST read. The rest will bring you up to speed on the type of RAID configuration based on your workload. It's only 400 pages or so, you should be able to knock it out in a weekend and then you can answer all these RAID posts. Configuration and Capacity Planning for Solaris Servers, Published by Sun Press, Author Brian Wong. Bye. for now BobH wrote: I am considering installing a new server (samba) for file and print serving a small medical office. I have never used raid before and I have a questions before I buy. 1. Should I buy a hardware raid device or rely on software raid? 2. Should the OS be installed on the raid or on another separate device and then let the raid handle all the data files? In this case I would place the print servers on the boot device with the OS. I figure I could resinstall the OS easily but the data is the part that we don't want to lose -- ever! 3. Probably most important, is raid just overkill for a small office as long as tape backups can be made nightly and if we are down for 3-4 hours for a reinstall we can live with it - although not without some angst. 4. If I go with a raid, is tape backup still necessary on a daily basis? 5. What is considered the best tape backup program (GUI interface please for this relative neophyte)?
