RE: php on RH8 -- make better code not war.

2003-09-13 Thread Daevid Vincent
While this is more of a PHP suggestion than RH or linux specific, just
noticed you might change your code in the future to be more efficient...

$db = mysql_connect ("localhost","user","pass") or die ("Could not connect
to mySQL server.");
mysql_select_db ("mymaindb",$db) or die ("Could not select Database");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM theTable",$db);
if (!$result) $errorString .= "Error ::
".mysql_errno($db)." :: ".mysql_error($db)."".$sql."\n";
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0 )$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

Then all your fields from "theTable" will be in $row['name'], $row['age'],
etc...  (if you had results, otherwise you'll get errors)

mysql_result() is old and IMHO depricated.
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-result.php

Use this instead. You'll keep more of your hair, and look cool to all the
other kids.
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-assoc.php

Another handy dandy trick is this, bequethed upon me by Rasmus himself...
while(list($myVariableName,$sqlFieldName)=each($row)) { $$myVariableName =
$sqlFieldName; }

Now all your fieldnames are in a variable of the same name ;-)
Like $name, $age, etc...

RE: Watching TV in Windows as a client in VMWare

2003-09-13 Thread Daevid Vincent
Doubtful. Vmware is a software emulation of most of your hardware. It
installs it's own virtual video driver, virtual ethernet card, virtual
soundcard, etc. specialized hardware like a TV Tuner would not generally be
supported in such an environment.

RE: Using VM Ware to create a Windows VM on a Linux server.

2003-07-27 Thread Daevid Vincent
No, you don't modify your partitions or anything. You just run vmware, start
a new VM, and then you basically have a 'new machine' in which to install
what you want. I believe you have to allocate a certain amount of space for
the 'virtual drive', just like you allocate RAM and which hardware to give
the VM. One really slick thing you can do on a dual boot machine, is assign
the raw partions to the VM. So on my notebook, I can use winxp to run my RH8
dual boot partition in a VM, say, to get web/php/mysql while I develop on my
Homesite IDE. Then later I can boot into linux for real, and everything is
all there and works the same. It's incredibly sexy.

FW: RedHat8 and hostap vs wvlan-ng -- help needed

2003-07-26 Thread Daevid Vincent
What is the better driver to install on RedHat 8 for an Engenius 200mW
PCMCIA card on my notebook. This will be used for general online use and
kismet(etc.)

Which one is most supported, most stable, easiest to configure?

Honestly, I've tried both and had limited success with each, but then again,
I'm no WiFi expert and a friend helped me do the HostAP, but it never
worked to get online or for kismet.

Currently, I've got the wvlan-ng drivers installed and while I can get
Kismet to work and detect nodes, I can't get online (either with or without
WEP)?! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. There are certainly some
'warnings' that the modules pop about symbols and versions and such. And
there are a million config files it seems. *sigh*

I'm thinking of just gutting my kernel RPM tree and starting over with a
fresh RPM install.  I really want this working before DEFCON which is august
1-3rd.

Is there a kind soul out there who would be willing to sit down with me and
get this working? I could buy you lunch/dinner or mebbe I have some piece of
gear I could trade you? But I really do need some help VERY soon. I'm
looking for a solution that will grow with my system, not just a quick and
dirty hack. I want it so that when a new version of the wvlan-ng or hostap
driver comes out, I will know enough about what we did that I could
reasonably upgrade. I don't think that's too much. I'm not a novice at all
FWTW.

I'm in the Seattle area.

RE: RHN...worth it or not (and reverting from RH9 to RH8)

2003-07-21 Thread Daevid Vincent
Count this as a third. I gladly pay the measly $60 for my RHN account on
each box I have. I think RedHat does an excellent job and I want them to be
around. They're my distribution of choice.

Unrelated, but related still in a way...

I have to say that I upgraded to RH9, but after spending days trying to get
my system back to my RH8 state with all the extras I just said fsckit and
ghosted my image back to RH8. This is no fault of RedHat per say, but I just
think there is more support out there for RH8 rpms and finding RH9 rpms was
getting to be tiresome. I think I'll wait a generation till RHX. In the past
couple weeks, I had an epiphany that it's better to have a system that is
solid and works and I can be productive, than trying to always be on the
bleeding edge... VMWare was the 'killer ap' that I needed to work for me. I
just couldn't seem to get the networking working in RH9 as seemlessly as it
did with RH8, and as a php/mysql/web developer, I need to have VMWare
running on my notebook (connected to the raw partition dual boot!) so I can
code pages in Homesite but seem the really work. That is by far the absolute
slickest thing ever...

I don't believe they/RedHat updates the .iso

Having said that, you simply install, then (before you do anything!) run
the 'up2date' applet and it will download like 200MB of update rpms and
install them for you. Pretty painless, just takes time and bandwidth.

You could always go Shrike (RH9)...

RE: Was it an "upgrade" or "install (fresh)?

2003-06-26 Thread Daevid Vincent
I am doing this right now on my Dell i8200 I was fine with RH8. then I
upgraded over it to RH9 and ran into "issues" with stuff not working right
and all that -- especially my WiFi (Prism) card. I formatted and installed
fresh RH9. Now I'm spending more time than I should re-configuring and
tracking down rpms for things I use (that SHOULD be included damnit!) like:

Gkrellm & extras
I8ktools
NTFS module
Prism WiFi card support (hostap)
Xine & extras
Xmms - mp3 version
Ximian Evolution
Bluefish
Opera
mySQL v4
phpMyAdmin

...to name a few.

I still can't figure out how to get my touchpad/mouse-stick and USB optical
mouse to all work.
I copied my XF86Config file from RH8 (where it worked fine) and run it with
RH9, but no love :(

What is the difference between kernel-sources....rpm and kernel...src.rpm?

2003-06-25 Thread Daevid Vincent
Can someone tell me what the difference is between
"kernel-sources-2.4.20-19.9.rpm" and "kernel-2.4.20-19.9.src.rpm". The .src.
File is like 35MB! The -sources- file is 39MB. How come the .src. File
doesn't show up in a "rpm -qa | grep kernel" command and how can I uninstall
it now that I've installed it? 

It would make sense to me that the .src. File is the source code to the
kernel, but I don't see anything in /usr/src/linux until AFTER I install the
"kernel-sources" file. I don't get it.

Steve, thanks for the reply, however I don't think your suggestion is
working for me either :(

http://daevid.com/examples/dhcp/ shows the TiVos and ReplayTV for example,
and there is no start/end lease time for them. Am I using the command right
and in the right place? I thought the 'top' stuff was global. Do I need to
use 'option' in front of it?

Here is my /etc/dhcpd.conf file (and I did restart dhcpd of course):

How come I'm missing entries from the dhcpd.leases file?

2003-06-23 Thread Daevid Vincent
Okay, my dhcp client web page is pretty much done...
http://daevid.com/examples/dhcp/
The .tgz file is linked at the bottom if you want it.

What I don't understand is why my dhcpd.leases file doesn't have an entry
for my notebook (10.10.10.69) yet I specifically put this entry in
/etc/dhcpd.conf

host orinoco.daevid.com {
   hardware ethernet 00:02:2D:3C:7C:FB; 
   fixed-address 10.10.10.69; 
}

So I do get assigned the IP and everything works from a network standpoint,
but why doesn't the /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases file have an entry that
should look something like:

lease 10.10.10.69 {
  starts 1 2003/06/23 08:40:11;
  ends 1 2003/06/23 08:50:11;
  binding state active;
  next binding state free;
  hardware ethernet 00:02:2D:3C:7C:FB;
  client-hostname "locutus";
} 

Yet I don't. :( In fact, it seems that ANY devices that I assign an IP using
the MAC (such as TiVo, Replay, other servers), don't have entries in the
dhcpd.leases file?! Why is that? Is this a bug or by design?

I'm running a RedHat 8.0 system with the following RPMs:
dhcpcd-1.3.22pl1-7
dhcp-3.0pl1-26 

This was also an extreme amount of work just to simply see the active leases
and 'client-hostname' associated with an IP/MAC?! Seems to me there should
have been a tool included with dhcpd that does this at the command line.
*sigh*

RE: Why is RH9 slower than Windows98SE. Any advice?

2003-06-20 Thread Daevid Vincent
Of course TWM is going to run faster, but it looks like ass!

You guys are skirting around the problem and trying to cover up the fact
that KDE/Gnome or any other 'pretty' window manager is going to take
resources be they memory, cpu, hd or gpu. Sheeeit, a minimum XP machine
these days is like 384MB RAM, 40GB HD, CPU > PIII 800Mhz and 32MB-128MB
video card.

If you want a responsive system that looks great, in true Microsoft fashion,
you just need to throw hardware at it. You can't get blood from a stone, and
you can't expect to run a nice Window manager these days without modern
gear. It's that simple.

My advice to the original poster is, remove all daemons in /etc/rc.d/init.d/
that aren't needed for the workstation. Mebbe try forcing an inittab of 1
(single user mode) [but I'm not sure if you can run Xwindows in that mode or
not (since that is 5)]. Make sure you have a video-card that is supported
well and fully in X-windows. nVidia makes great ones (I run my dell i8200
notebook at 1600x1200 and it's awesome). You're mostly in 2D, so video RAM
is more important than video MegaPixels performance (3D). Make sure the
drivers for the card are in fact loaded and the current ones! Turn on DMA
(it's off by default in RH). Get 7200 RPM hard drives and use the 80pin
ribbon cables. Watch out for memory leaks. I used to use Gnome with RH8
until I discovered that their default terminal had a leak and my system
would start to crawl after a while. Switched to KDE and no problems.  Leave
your systems ON. Linux likes to maintain itself and run stuff on crontabs.
If you power down at night, then next time you power up, about an hour into
it (I think it is), you'll notice a lot of shit running -- it's playing
'katsup' with anacron, trying to do all the stuff it couldn't do last night.


Now having said all that. I do notice that for certain tasks, WindowsXP is
definitely snappier. Like loading IE. Part of that is b/c IE is so ingrained
into the OS, it's right there all the time for you. Same with many other
'common' features like MSN, Word, Outlook, etc. Plus, to be honest,
Microsoft (as much as I hate them as a company and they make generally
bloated/crappy products) have in fact done WinXP right and have had a decade
to perfect a GUI. That's a fact. It's a solid and reliable OS IMHO. I've not
seen a BSOD in years it seems.  And while Linux is very stable too for
server side, the desktop side is only a couple years old but maturing
rapidly. You can't expect it to be the same until video card drivers are
optimized for Linux too. Most of the drivers are hacks for the most part and
reverse engineered. (nVidia actually makes a proprietary Linux driver
however).

So that answered the IP differences. I don't like the answer, but it makes
sense.

As for the MAC addresses -- yeah, sorry, we 'spoof' the MAC on my NIC to be
like the MAC of my old router. This is because AT&T / Comcast sucks balls
and won't give out static IP addresses anymore, so I didn't want to have to
deal with DNS changes for all my virtual hosts when I switched from a
Linksys WiFi Router to using a linux box as router/dhcp/firewall/wifi/etc. I
hear that on the 30th of this month, when the actual change from attbi to
comcast occurs, I'll get re-assigned a new dynamic IP again (and so I'll
stop spoofing at that point I suppose). G...

why does "arp" show inactive machines?

2003-06-16 Thread Daevid Vincent
I am writing an open source web page that I can't believe doesn't exist
already. basically i want to see all the active DHCP clients on my
network AND their nice windows names. GRRR...

Anyways, here is what I have so far if you want to see it:
http://daevid.com/examples/dhcp/index.php
when the script is finished I'll post it up for anyone to use on their
own servers...

Does anyone know why "arp -n" (what i'm using) shows machines that are
NOT even turned on? like my notebook shows up despite having been off
for several hours? Is there a way to get a real time list of the
machines on my network?!? I thought that's what "arp" did, but
apparently not. :(

BTW, can't this list software be smart enough to auto-convert from HTML

How do I see the dhcp leases?

2003-06-10 Thread Daevid Vincent
I've searched the web, but I can't find any way to see all the leases my
dhcp server is handing out?
Is there some command line (ideally) or GUI or something that will list all
the active IP addresses and "names"? By names I mean, all the computer names
I see in network neighborhood on windows.

"cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases" lists ALL leases for several past days --
some of which are not current.

RE: backup scripts

2003-05-29 Thread Daevid Vincent
I've just spent the past few days writing this backup script...

http://resume.daevid.com follow the link for it.

It will do weekly full backups on Sunday and daily diff backups. It also
does daily dumps of all databases in the mysql db directory then
combines them into a single .tgz file for storage. It is best if you
have /backups as a separate device because I mount it rw and then ro
when finished storing the backups. Simply list what you want at the top
and use the exclude file to omit what you don't.

Ideally I'd like to make it so it only backs up the mysql databases that
have changed (diff), but I'm not sure how to determine that, as the
directory doesn't seem to change it's date as I would expect, if the
contents within are updated. Hmmm. Ideas?

Ps. And yes, I sent that as a link in my resume because I'm unemployed
and would love any offers for coding work with PHP, Linux, SQL, etc...

Or you could edit you /etc/my.cnf and add the following:

RE: Red Hat Linux 9 | Get the latest Linux early (fwd)

Rober! This is *NOT* spam.

And the email I got FROM RH has my username and info in it. It is most
certainly from RedHat, and it most certainly is v9.0.

RE: [Fwd: Red Hat Linux 9 | Get the latest Linux early]

2003-03-24 Thread Daevid Vincent
Or more specifically from 8.1 ??

I can't see there being 0.9 versions worth of changes since 8.1 (which
wasn't even released). 

This reeks of marketing spin. *sigh* That really makes me sad to see RH
pulling a slimey microsoft move. I remember when they (m$) released Visual J
and it STARTED at v6.0 so they could release it as part of their Visual
Studio environment. This was at best a v1.0 product. Didn't they do that
with "Word" as well? Make it version 6 to compete with WordPerfect 6??

How to get secureCRT and term to look right?

2003-03-04 Thread Daevid Vincent
I use SecureCRT 3.4.3 to ssh into my RH8 box all the time, but curses based
programs (like setup or iptraf) don't look quite right -- where the graphics
should be, there are funky characters? Can someone tell me what the proper
settings for the session should be? My SecureCRT Session Terminal Emulation
is set to "Linux" with ANSI Color checked on, and my bash/tcsh terms are set
TERM=linux. I've tried VT100 as well, but neither seem to work. Is there
something else I should do? The "TERM=linux" could be legacy settings. I've
been running Linux for like 5 years or more, and migrate my .rc scripts from
server to server. Should it be something else now a days? And if so, what?
And what do I set SecureCRT to as well?

Anyone have a procmail recepie for those idiots who insist on sending large

Ideally I'd like it to reply to them a message, and then remove the
attachment and only save the message, or else just delete the whole thing.
Sometime people (like my sister!) send me 1MB .mov files that just jam up my

Problems with kernel-2.4.18-24.8.0 and sendmail.

Everything was going fine until I upgraded a stable server to
"kernel-2.4.18-24.8.0.rpm", now sendmail (and possibly other stuff that
I've not found or care to debug) STB constantly. I have to keep issuing
an "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart". Anyone else have this issue?
"kernel-2.4.18-14.i686.rpm" worked fine, and I'm switching back.

Given that I have a GMT offset via the select box below, how the hell do
I turn that into a symbolic link to one of these files? How do I know

Something like "echo -0800GMT > /etc/timezone" would have been
sufficient doncha think?

I have an i8200 and it works great. Most everything worked fine, but as
for "not fool around" well, get used to that if you want to run Linux.
There are always things you're going to need to tweak to get it working.
But that's part of learning...

However, I think everything on that notebook does work if you're willing
to put the energy into getting it to; whatever consolation that is.

I love it!

How the hell do I get technical support via redhat.com?

2003-01-16 Thread Daevid Vincent
Is it me? Am I just retarded? How the hell does one ask technical
support a question with this site? I just want the email address or
something, and there are all these vague instructions that don't seem to
work. WTF!?

https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/

What the hell is the "Product ID" and where do I find that? I have two
systems registered with RHN, one that I paid a $60 service for. I tried
to put the number of that machine in there, but it doesn't work. Ugh!!!

I appreciate there is a need for some database/ticket tracking system,
but IMHO there should be a straight email address too. That's redhat's
problem to enter it in and categorize it.

So here I am, and I still can't ask someone at redhat my problem, and
I've got no way to enter it into a bug system and so I'm screwed. Thanks
redhat.

Oh, and the SPAM 'special offer' on the right hand side of some of their
pages shows "Maximum Linux" as a partner and you can get a free CD and
issue. Um, guys, that magazine has been dead for over a year now...
Hello?! (I know, I helped to invent it!)

In need of a UPS

2002-12-08 Thread Daevid Vincent
The battery light on my UPS is on now all the time. It's fairly old and
I think it's time I got rid of it.

First, where do I go to throw out a UPS? I can't imagine it's good to
just chuck it out with the garbage... I would think it needs recycling
or containment or something.

Secondly, can anyone suggest a (cheap) UPS that will work with RedHat
8.0 relatively painlessly? I really only just need this to shutdown
gracefully when appropriate (so I don't need it to power my monitor or
speakers or any extra crap either). Otherwise, I really don't care about
any bells and whistles, unless they're free. I don't want to have to
make a custom cable or anything funky either. I want to be able to
purchase the parts, plug them in, run some .rpm or install.sh or
something and be good to go.

How do I get the little "up2date" icon back in my pannel?

2002-12-05 Thread Daevid Vincent
I think I accidentally updated, then exited out of the little round
(red/green/blue) icon that sits in KDE on the right hand side near the
clock. Then I probably shutdown (saving changes of course) and now I
want the little guy back! How do I do that?

How do you QUIT x-windows in RH8?

2002-12-04 Thread Daevid Vincent
So, um, how do I shut down X-windows in RedHat 8.0 (for that session
only).

Here's the thing, if I logout, I'm prompted to login again right. There
is no option to exit X all together, only reboot and shutdown.

If I CTRL+SHIFT+BACKSPACE (I think that's it) to kill X (which normally
works), it just restarts again. WTF!? Ugh.

It seems that RH8.0 has a memory leak in Gnome, and I was thinking that
if I shut it down, it would free that up and then I could restart it
(that is until the leak is fixed in a future version). As it stands, my
machine just keeps getting slower and slower until I have to reboot.
Weak sauce.

Linux seems pokey with 684MB RAM

2002-11-27 Thread Daevid Vincent
I'm loving my new Dell i8200 notebook computer, and adding 512MB to the
stock 128MB was a HUGE improvement, however I'm noticing that while
WindowsXP (home) seems to just fly along and IE opens up quickly,
Outlook running all the time, trillian, HomeSite, etc... 

The RedHat 8.0 side of things is pokey as hell. Just having mozilla
running takes like a minute for it to load?! Then if I add in "Quanta"
or "Star Office", forget it. I got this to be a mobile workstation so
that I could get my PHP/mySQL coding done anywhere. But as it stands,
it's not working out so well that way. It takes too long to do anything.
It's embarrassing. I thought that Microsoft was always writing bloated
software, but now I'm starting to doubt that.  I could add another 512MB
RAM (it's only like $175), but I'm not sure that is the problem, is it?
Why wouldn't 684MB on a 2.0Ghz P4 be more than enough for what I'm
doing? 

Suggestions?  I've already reduced the amount of RAM that mySQL uses and
Apache uses, but I don't know what else to do.

How to set hostname so it's not dhcppc?

2002-11-15 Thread Daevid Vincent
Just installed RH8 on my notebook which uses DHCP to get on my
LAN/internet. This in turn keeps asigning my notebook name to be
"dhcppc6" -- which aside from being asthetically unappealing, also
causes X/Gnome to give a warning each time it starts. How can I set my
notebook's hostname to be say, "localhost" or "dell" or something and
STAY that way? I've tried "hostname localhost" and it sets it for that
session but then gets reset. Ugh. I "grep 'hostname' /etc/" and saw
rc.sysinit has some stuff, but didn't seem obvious where to change?

DÆVID.

The short answer is no. but there really aren't any "Virii" for
Unix/Linux. Trojan horses and the like yes. But if you use your system
as a normal user, you really can't do much damage. Just don't execute
untrusted binaries as root or something stupid like that.

What are some fully functioning Notebooks for RedHat Linux

2002-11-06 Thread Daevid Vincent
I'm finally willing and able to take the plunge and get a nice
notebook/laptop computer to dual boot (RH) Linux and Windows. The
problem is of course, which one to purchase. I'm willing to spend up to
$2000 or so, but there is no resource to tell me which one will be the
least troublesome.

I'm feeling incredibly frustrated and I can see why there are
substantially less Linux notebook users (and development). Nobody wants
to be the guinea pig and buy something that won't work. Conversely, I
have no doubt in my mind that the Windows partition will work nearly
flawlessly with every part of the notebook.

http://www.linux-laptop.net/ is nice and all, if you are either a
current owner and looking for 'help', but as a new purchaser, it's quite
useless without doing tons of research and comparing every little
detail, wading through countless pages there. A simple 'poll' whereby
each submitter could rate their satisfaction would be incredibly useful,
especially if summarized with the 'top 10 best notebooks'. Alas, Mr.
Harker has no such feature. :(

I am looking for EVERYTHING (or as close to it) to work. This shouldn't
be an unreasonable request for a $2000 piece of hardware:

X-windows > 1024x768 res (pref with OpenGL or other 3D acceleration, but
not required) Sound (minimum wave support/soft midi-synths would be nice
though) Internal Modem (this seems to be a huge problem) NIC (10/100Mbs)
WiFi (802.11) CD-R DVD APM/power management (ie. No locking up or
crashing) Parallel/Serial Pointing device 
USB
External monitor support (dual monitor would be wonderful)
PC Card slots
Firewire mebbe?
IrDA mebbe?

Is there a list of Linux notebook retailers anywhere? Perhaps that could
narrow down my search.

RedHat should maintain a list on their website of notebooks that are
fully (or even mostly) compatible. I mean, it's in their best interest
to direct folks to hardware that will work with their software right?
Don't they have deals with various notebook vendors to bundle RH with
them? I would assume that means ALL the hardware works right? Who are
the vendors? 

*sigh*

Apache 1.3 and redirecting a virtual domain to a web page?

2002-10-24 Thread Daevid Vincent
Anyone know how to set up Apache 1.3 (RH8.0) such that

http://resume.daevid.com will serve the file
http://daevid.com/resume.shtml

And while we're at it, how about 

http://foo.daevid.com to go to http://daevid.com/foo/

This one I think I can do with a regular  like any
others, but I have a feeling there may be a better way?

I've tried to use:
RedirectPermanent http://mp3.daevid.com http://daevid.com/mp3
RedirectPermanent http://resume.daevid.com
http://daevid.com/resume.shtml

But it didn't work (I think redirects only work with a local path).

RE: mysqld rh8.0, connect tcp error?

2002-10-23 Thread Daevid Vincent
You should really join the mysql lists for this question, but I'll tell
you what I suspect it is. The RH8 has a glibc that breaks mysql (among
other things).

http://lists.mysql.com/cgi-ez/ezmlm-cgi?1:mss:122632

Temporary solutions:
- downgrade glibc
or
- run MySQL server with --skip-name-resolving option

I have had limited luck by upgrading mysql to the latest RPMs just
released the other day on their site. It is peculiar, but only some
mysql clients work now and others don't. which is better than nothing at
the moment.

RE: redhat 8.0, apache 2 and PHP and glbc and mysql

2002-10-19 Thread Daevid Vincent
Title: Message



there is a known (now) issue with the RH8.0 glibc i 
believe it was and mysql with remote logins... so if you used say a windows 
client to connect to a linux mysql db, you couldn't unless you downgrade 
the glibc.

RE: Can't start KDE 3.0.0 in RH8.0 - SOLVED

2002-10-18 Thread Daevid Vincent
Okay. Well I guess I'm partially an idiot, and partially I feel duped.

running "startx" in fact DOES run KDE just with the 'bluecurve' theme
(in fact, according to the faq, you should NOT run 'startkde' anymore).
That's my first mistake. I thought 'bluecurve' was a whole different,
RedHat proprietary _window manager_ (since I'm used to KDE's look), not
just a theme. The second mistake is the 'desktop switching tool' is
"stupid". By that I mean, it doesn't know WHICH desktop you're
running!!! So every time, it just defaults to the top/'Gnome' button
being selected, consequently, I assumed that 'bluecurve' was in Gnome or
related to it somehow (when in fact I was in KDE all the time). Leaving
the button on "Gnome", saving, and restarting proved a bit more
fruitful, in that now I was running in Gnome -- however, it STILL LOOKS
like 'bluecurve'. So the very fact that RedHat made their bluecurve
'theme' look the same under both gnome and kde is what was throwing me
off. UGH! I can see how some might like that idea, but the least they
could have done was change the background or something, so I know. The
only way I figured it out, was to go into some "about" sections and
noticed one would talk 'kde' and the other would talk 'gnome'. Very
frustrating.

RE: Apache

2002-10-18 Thread Daevid Vincent
I only caught part of this, so excuse me if I'm giving the wrong advice,
but from what I see, it sounds like you're trying to do something like I
did.

My quick solution rather than run DNS was to simply edit my /etc/hosts
file  (and consequently edit my windowsXP hosts file as well.

[root@daevid netsaint]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.254   daevid.com www.daevid.com ftp.daevid.com daevid
192.168.0.254   daevid.net www.daevid.net ftp.daevid.net
192.168.0.254   daevid.org www.daevid.org ftp.daevid.org
192.168.0.254   antagonyst.com www.antagonyst.com ftp.antagonyst.com
antagonyst
192.168.0.254   dameincain.com www.dameincain.com ftp.dameincain.com
dameincain

And then in windows just use the same file.

I strongly agree. Or if you must, then learn the basics of PHP and use
an 'include' file with the url, so you can change it in one place and
have it be global :)

RedHat 8.0 continues to be problematic...

2002-10-18 Thread Daevid Vincent
Well, I thought things were looking up. 

I downgraded Apache 2.0 back to the normal version to get PHP and mySQL
working. Learned a lot in the process about Apache ;-)

One thing I noticed is that Bluecurve graphical interface (while pretty)
doesn't have any icons at the bottom. All the 'spots' are just gears.
What happened there? Shouldn't there be something useful in each of
those spots?

KDE just doesn't work at all. Won't even load. :(

But here's the real kick in the balls. I noticed that my rhn account
showed 835 packages to be updated. Clearly this is an indication the
server and rhn are out of synch. So several times I try to have it
automate a synch. Each time I check back, I notice nothing has changed.

So I figure I'll remove the server from rhn and just re-register it from
scratch. No biggie right? I do the delete, then try to run
"rhn_register" and get a "command not found". Hmm... 

[root@daevid update]# locate rhn_register
/var/spool/up2date/rhn_register-gnome-2.7.9-7.x.2.i386.hdr
/var/spool/up2date/rhn_register-2.7.9-7.x.2.i386.hdr
/var/spool/up2date/rhn_register-2.7.9-7.x.2.i386.rpm
/var/spool/up2date/rhn_register-gnome-2.7.9-7.x.2.i386.rpm
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register.rpmnew
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register.rpmsave
/etc/pam.d/rhn_register.rpmnew
/etc/security/console.apps/rhn_register.rpmnew

Sure enough. There is no command? Okay, that sux... So I look on CD1 and
grab the grip of rhn_ files and figure I'll start to just 'rpm -Uvh'
them all again, mebbe the upgrader missed one along the way? Except the
command is taking forever! I abort and try some other .rpm files. Same
thing. Any .rpm I try to install/update/ -qa / whatever just basically
'hangs'. I can't even "kill pid#" to get rid of it. I have no idea why
or how 'rpm' stopped working. I don't usually muck with my system as it
is a live server. I mean, it did work at one point, as I've installed a
few programs like "ntop" and "squirrelmail" since the upgrade. But
nothing that should have effected this.

Ugh. sigh.

Anyone know how I can get rpm's working again? Seems like a chicken/egg
situation. That is, how can I uninstall the /bin/rpm program and then
re-install from CD again, when it needs "itself" to install.

I'm scared to death to run the RH8.0 update (by inserting the CD into my
drive and turning the machine on) for fear that it will royally hose
everything it's taken so long to rebuild and get working (like it was
before the 'f**kgrade' from 7.3 to 8.0)

You'd think I'd learn my lesson not to trust an RHx.0 build, but I
figured after more than EIGHT versions, they would have their shit
together and the upgrade would have gone more smoothly. Jeesh.

D.

I've tried to re-install all the k*.rpm files I could find, 
I also went and deleted all the .kde files and other related folders in
my user directory in the hopes that kde would just build them again...
(there wasn't anything important)

Ideas?

YES! You are the man! Thanks.

Is there some icon or something where I missed that? Whenever I tried to
update, I just get a dialog that says, "run rhn_register as root"... :(

What RPM contains rhn_register

I don't seem to have the 'rhn_register' program and don't know which
.rpm contains it. Anyone know?
