: You need to check at least three things:
: 1) The scripts you're trying to run have execute permission for the
: appropriate user (whichever user apache is running as)
Usually this is done by 'chmod a+x scriptname' which gives everyone
execute permissions.
: 2) They scripts have appropriate extensions, such as .cgi or .pl
I've never found this to be necessary, myself. None of my scripts (that
all work fine) have extensions...I just call them 'getCount' or something
like that...but extensions do make directory listings easier to read.
This works fine in the latest apache and the web server that comes with
Digital UNIX.
: 3) The Apache config scripts (access.conf and srm.conf are the
: appropriate ones, I think) are set up to allow cgi access from the
: appropriate directory and the handlers are present (eg the line
: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi is present and uncommented in srm.conf)
: The .conf files are fairly readable - have a play around with them,
: restarting the server each time you change them, and best of luck!
I don't know what version came with RH, but the newest version I grabbed
off the net had all of it's config stuff in httpd.conf...kinda nice since
messing with three config files (the old way) really sucked. Anyway, what
you're looking for is something like this:
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
^^^^^^^
That's the keyword. There's also plenty more config stuff in there you
need to read/change, but like the previous poster said, it's fairly easy
to follow.
One last note: CGI itself is pretty easy...it's the scripting languages
that'll throw you. Most of the info on the web makes it sounds really
hard.

Which version of vi do you have installed? Which distribution of
Linux are you using?
Elvis (the default vi-clone installed by the Slackware distributions I
have run across) has a built-in limit of 2MB -- I know, because I ran into
this problem myself (trying to edit a 55MB POP3 mailbox file that had
become horribly munged), and I had to go get and install vim in order to
be able to make things work.

Hi!
This should be straight forward, but I'm banging my head against a brick wall!
I want to be able to modify the an environment variable within an executable
script in Cshell and keep the change when I exit the script.
If I write a script such as:
#!/bin/csh -f
setenv SOMEVARIABLE bananas
The variable SOMEVARIABLE does not persist outside the script. What do I
need to do to make it persistant?
Any help will be appreciated.

Sometimes (half the time) when I use vi over telnet (from win95 to
linux), I can't use my arrow keys to move around in the editor. Other
times I can.
My telnet client and redhat configurations remain the same, yet
sometimes the arrows work and other times they dont.
In addition, when the arrows arent working, (when I use j to scroll
down), the screen buffer doesnt refresh, so what I get is the bottom
line of text changes and thats it.
Any ideas anybody?

I am a longtime OS/2 and Linux/FreeBSD user. All the distributions will
work fine provided Samba is installed(you need this to connect Warp)on a
network and/or install HPFS support to see the OS/2 partitions. The
trick is setting up bootmanager properly. If you want the specifics just
email me. Woven Goods for Linux is an excellent resource for the
different distributions. My site below is a mirror. Linux.com/org they
all have plenty of info too. Personally I think Slackware would be best
for you. The install is the absolute best installs completely in 20
minutes. You also learn Linux the correct way too. SuSE is another that
I recommend. Most
of the others require some Unix or advanced Linux experience and
many of the programs are beta quality so you can expect some problems.
Why ask for problems. TurboLinux from Pacific High Tech
might be the one to watch. IBM just struck a deal with them and their
Linux software(DB2 for now) will be distributed exclusively with that
distribution in the near future.

I *assume* that this is basically the same as a cable modem? No
dial-up, just connect and go, right? If so, you will need to get dhcp
installed. You may already have it lurking around your system or on
your install disks. Otherwise you'll have to ferret it out on the
Internet. Also, if you are only talking about 1 machine, you'll
probably only need the client, which I believe if often called dhcpcd.
I also think that the version of dhcpcd that you use will depend on
whether you are libc5 or glibc. Just read the readmes and you should be
OK. The install is very easy. If you want to use it all the time,
you'll have to initialize it in your startup (again, this is described
in the notes).
Sorry I can give you more info since all my Linux stuff is elsewhere.

On a busy machine (with hundreds of thousands of log entries),
logcheck will *bury* you, since it just greps through the logs looking for
various things and then sends all that stuff to you.
You need tools to look at the log entry part (ignoring the pid, if
any) and effectively do things like a "sort | uniq -c | sort -nr" on the
log entries, noting both the first and last time the particular log entry
was seen.
I wrote a Perl script (called syslog-count) that does this sort of
thing. I'm still trying to get it to be able to tie the hash table it
builds to a dbm database, so that you don't waste quite so much RAM,
although the trade-off would be to increase the amount of disk I/O.
Nevertheless, the in-RAM hash version works fine for me. If you would
like to make modifications to syslog-count, I would appreciate it if you
would contribute them back to me.
If you modify logcheck to put a pipe to this program after the greps
but before the I/O redirection onto temporary files, this should even
properly deal with "last line repeated X times", etc....
The log entries as seen will go from looking like this:
May 6 18:22:25 host syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
May 6 18:22:26 host kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
May 6 18:22:27 host kernel: No module symbols loaded.

Did you recently update your dev RPM? After I updated my RH5.2 with the
dev-2.7.7-1.rpm, I got that exact error "All network ports in use", until I
rebooted...Not sure if RH6.0's kernel comes compiled with UNIX98 pty
support, the kernel needs to have the correct option set before you can use
UNIX98 pty's. Look for /dev/pts, that should indicate an updated dev...
I'm still struggling with the whole tty/pty/etc stuff myself, I hope this
offers some clues.

You don't use isapnp to _disable_ PnP, but to setup cards that have it
on. To turn it off, you must use card-specific utilities. For 3c509, you
can download a DOS-based utility from 3Com's web site, or a Linux
utility from http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/diag
