Re: libapache2-mod-jk2 configuration
I'd stay away from jk2 is deprecated in favour of maintaining the original mod_jk. The configuration for jk2 meant more hoop-jumping than with jk and thus is fell out of favour.. Unfortunatly the apache2 modules for the debian distribution only has a compiled jk2. Assuming you want to use the debain aptitude stuff, I'd install the apache1 stuff rather than 2 until someone creates mod_jk for apache 2 on debian. This link takes you through the basics, and the configuration differences between apache 1 and 2 or minimal.. http://raibledesigns.com/tomcat/ Mark On 6/23/05, Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to add tomcat4 into my existing apache2 system so that I can experiment with java (in the form of servlets and jsp). Although in reality I only have a single computer, for learning purposes I want to similate the situation where I have potentially split web and application servers. So this server has two ethernet cards - one facing the outside world with an address assigned by my isp using dhcp. www.chandlerfamily.org.uk points at this address. On the other side, my lan side, I have allocated myself a range of io addresses using eth1 (192.168.0.20) eth1:0 (192.168.0.30) eth1:1 (192,168.0.31) as the devices (and their ip addresses) created via iface stanzas in /etc/networking/interfaces. Bind is used to provide different names to the different lan based ip addresses An iptables firewall protects the addresses and does NAT. Using Apache2, I then use ip based virtual hosts, so the external address has one web site for http and two of the internal addresses support two other http web sites. https is allocated a further host on the external address to replicate one of the internal sites and providing secure access to webmail. I would like to set up tomcat so that it acts as though it were running on the single ip address 192.168.0.31 (although appropriate requests to my external web site - are routed through to it via apache). Obviously therefore I need to connect apache2 to tomcat4 and therefore installed libapache2-mod-jk2. However, there doesn't seem to be any clear documentation to tell me how to achieve a configuration of this connector to tell me what to do. There are examples of configuration and a howto, but all of them assume a particular configuration and so don't explain what all the keywords mean. If you look on the jakata.apache.org web site it says that mod_jk2 is depreciated and that mod_jk is the only one supported. However if I look at debian packages mod_jk seems to only be for apache1 and for apache2 I only have choice of mod_jk2. So some questions -why is there no libapache2-mod-jk package (even in unstable - although my server is running sarge)? -where can I find a full explanation of the workers2.properties configuration parameters -where can I find a full explanation of the mod_jk2 directives that go in my apache2 configuration -can someone on these mailing lists help me unravel the example configuration files and configure them to meet my requirements listed above -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Aptitude
Dear Debian Users, I installed Debian 3.0r0 from a CD set onto a reformatted hard disk (hdb) which involved, among others, the following procedures:- (1) Did not chose tasksel. (2) Did not chose dselect. (3) Used apt-get to install aptitude. (4) Used aptitude to install xserver-s3. (5) Used aptitude to install x-window-system. (6) Used aptitude to install KDE. Therefore, I was able to de-select 60 out of 97 recommended dependency programs without creating a broken package. (7) Used aptitude to install KDM. Thus, I was able to successfully load a basic Linux operating system which enabled me to run aptitude to install and remove programs in order to determine their relevance for a proposed customised desktop. Once the list of programs was finalised, and with a reformatted hard disk, I undertook the above steps 1 to 7 again. However, repeating stage 6 exactly, KDE always remained as a broken package (even if de-select 1 out of 97 recommended dependency programs), and therefore unable to proceed. Nevertheless, I decided to carry on and installed KDE, including all recommended dependency programs, with the intention to remove unwanted programs, e.g., KOffice, Kruler, etc., on completion of the above steps 1 to 7. To my surprise, this was not possible to achieve with aptitude or Kpackage or synaptic, without removing KDE itself. I shall be grateful if someone will kindly provide answers to these questions: (1) Why is the KDE program a mega package, i.e., incorporate KOffice, etc. programs? (2) Why did aptitude work the way I expected the first time, but not on subsequent occasions? (3) Is there a program available to remove unwanted packages either before or after installation? (4) Does the program deselect (very difficult to use) fulfil my objectives (a minimalist installation)? All assistance will be most appreciated.

Re: woody, nsswitch.conf/hosts.conf ignoring /etc/hosts
So there are probably some apps out there that do something similar, so I wouldn't rely on such behavior.

Re: Debian vs Red Hat??? I need info.
So, it is not so much that Debian doesn't have permission to distribute a modified binary package, it is that doing so would open up a whole can'o'worms w.r.t. redistribution... so why go there and possibly cause problems for Debian's distributors, eh. That's exactly why it doesn't pass the DFSG test. It's really an almost-moot point, really, since apt-get has come along and can auto-build the package for you --it'd be tempting to have a fake pine package, which would simply apt-get -b source the source and then install the .deb files. I think similar schemes have actually been discussed several times, always with the end result being that everyone thought that while doing so would probably be legal, it'd violat the _spirit_ of the thing. This is definitely a FAQ, though.

Re: Debian vs Red Hat??? I need info.
Can I ask why debian doesn't include pine? Just curious. I know Debian The license for pine doesn't allow you to redistribute modified binaries (e.g., fix a bug in the source, compile it, and redistribute the executable you get from this). Therefore, it can't be included as part of Debian -- it doesn't meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines at http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines. Besides which, we have to make patches to pine to get it to put its files in the right place, etc. on a Debian system, and once we make those patches, we're not allowed to redistribute the compiled program anyway! Other distros that include Pine must obviously therefore compile without making patches, or have arranged other (special) redistribution terms with the University of Washington, or are simply violating the copyright. We do include the pine source, and a patch that users can use to build their own Debian-ish binaries. As a matter of fact, apt will download and build the package for you: apt-get --compile source pine4-src ... when this is done, you should have some .deb files you can install via dpkg -i.

Re: DHCP and DNS
How can I tell the nameserver which IP addresses DHCP has assigned to the hosts so the names get resolved to the correct IP? Probably the only way I can think of is to remake the dns databases and restart named every time you renew a DHCP lease. I don't know if dhcpd allows you to run a command after a lease is assigned, but you could just run a cron job which remakes the .db files every five minutes, and tell people that thier hostnames won't resolve for five minutes after they boot. ... this would mean that you'd have to set your TTL for your DNS entries to five minutes, which might get out of hand.

I'm assuming you select the option that asks the install program to search for available installation locations, and then accept its offering. What does it come up with here? Instead, I get a file error message saying There was a problem extracting files... End of show. I'd suggest this: download ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/base2_1.tgz (this is the base system it's trying to extract) and put it on your hard drive, say in C:\linux\ . Mount the hard drive on /dos with this sequence of commands (select the execute a shell option in the install) mkdir /dos mount -t msdos /devicepartition number /dos exit then tell the install the base system option that the base system is in C:\linux\base2_1.tgz, and it should install ok.

It'll fail, too, but that's ok -- as it fails, it'll tell you what's wrong (Can't configure xxx because xxx pre-depends on yyy, etc ...).

Re: GNOME vs. KDE
1.Is Debian more leaning towards KDE or is this just 'news' from the Corel folks? Is there a reason why they chose KDE and not GNOME? We don't lean either way. Corel is creating their own distribution based on Debian -- they'll take stock Debian and stuff to it. They picked KDE (you'd have to ask them why) as one of the things to add. 2. Which is faster? It seems to me (I haven't taken any measurements) that Gnome runs marginally faster on my box, but I don't use either KDE or Gnome much. It's probably also worth mentioning that my machine is a P166. With a faster one, you'll probably never notice the difference. 3. Which uses less memory and is more stable? KDE is probably more stable. Which one uses less memory depends on which features you turn on in each one. 4.I heard GNOME uses CORBA. What advantage does this give from a KDE uses CORBA too. It's just a different implementation of CORBA.

Partition Type A0 ??
My girlfriend just bought a laptop. On first booting it, it asked if we'd like to set up the hard disk for Windows95 or Win98. She'll need to dual-boot 95 and Linux, so we let it install Win95, which it proceeded to do _without_ asking for a Win95 cd. I booted it from the 2.1 CD, and ran cfdisk. It's a 4.something gig drive, which has 3 partitions: a 2gig one, another 2gig one, a 162.5 gig one, and 7 megs of free space. The 162.5 gig partition (which we'd like to delete) shows up as partition type A0 in cfdisk. Looks to me like the company (AST) copied the Win95 cd into that partition, and that's how it did that crazy install-with-no-disk thing. Does anybody know if that's possible? Or know what partition type A0 really is?

Re: The case of the missing 64 meg...
I have a system with 128 meg. of memory but I believe Linux only sees half of it and the rest is wasted. The kernel will only autodetect 64 megs (apparently there was a bug in some older PCs which caused problems if you probed beyond 64 megs). You need to pass an argument to the kernel at boot time to tell it you've got a lot of ram. Simplest thing to do is put: append=mem=128m in your lilo.conf file. For my 96 meg machine, I've got a stanza that reads: image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 append=mem=96m label=l ... don't forget to run lilo again after you edit the lilo.conf ...

I do not know how to configure the PC to boot from the CD-ROM. Reboot the machine.

Some computers use CTRL-ALT-F1 instead of delete or whatever. At any rate, hit this key.

Re: what is flex ?
What is flex ? Flex is the gnu clone of lex, one of the original unix lexical analysis tools. A lexer (that's what you get when you run flex on a flex file) is used to break up input into tokens, which are the atomic units of programming languages or other specifications. In english, tokens are probably best thought of as words. In something like C, tokens are keywords (if, else), or numbers (1423) or operators (+, =, ;), or function names (do_foo()), etc... A decent book on compiler construction could probably explain it better.

I tried to build it from the source, and discovered that it now needs a dependency on libg++2.8.2. You can build it if you install libg++2.8.2 and libg++2.8.2-dev. It's now giving me an Out of memory error when I try to use it though, so I suspect that the package may need some code-level rewrites.

You can also do dpkg --get-selections some_file_name to back up your list of installed/selected file.
