Hello list, I want a box on my LAN to be a local web and database server. I've installed Apache, MySQL, PHP and phpmyadmin and I'm about to get phpmyadmin going. The problem is that Apache is displaying the contents of php files instead of interpreting them. What have I missed? I have USE="apa

I just updated from xorg-server-1.9 to 1.10, but even the newest beta from nvidia complains that 1.10 isn't supported yet for my video cards GeForce FX 5200 and GeForce 6150SE. Perhaps drivers for newer cards will work, but I don't know. The good old nv driver still works with 1.10, happily.
