Shouldn't that be:
GET http://ns.equaliser.net/ HTTP/1.1
and hit enter twice. You have to tell the server what version of HTTP
you want to
use, otherwise it's an illegal request.

AWE64 Gold/Value are ISA PNP cards. SB128 was the first PCI version of

Hi,
Here at work I've got a machine dedicated to DHCP Serving which does not
have a CDROM drive. I need to install some UPS software onto it from CD.
What would be some ways I would be able to do this? This machine is running
RH5.1 and the one with the CDROM drive is running RH6.1. I've tried ftping
the files across, but must have missed some as it didn't work :(
Thanks,
John Mravunac :^)

Subject: Problems installing Suse 6.4
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 11:33:58 +0200
Hi!
Some days ago, I installed Suse 6.0 on my computer - my first contact
with linux. The installation worked absolutely fine. Yesterday I tried
to install Suse 6.4 on the same maschine - a friend told me, that the
newer version is much more comfortable - escpecially for beginners. But
I ran into the following problems:
I cannot boot Suse from the CD, because my computer seems to be too old
to do so. So I started the computer with a bootable disk and ran the
setup.exe from the first CD. Unfortunately Suse seems to have mayor
problems with my hadware: it doesn=B4t know my SCSI-Controller (Adaptec
2940) and cannot start my network card (3Com 509). It seems, as if suse
cannot start any component at all! Therefore it is currently impossible
to install Suse 6.4 on my computer.
Is there any parameter I have to give the installation program, so that
it works with my old hardware? (As I already said, Suse 6.0 works fine!)
Here is a list of my hardware:
- Pentium I (90MHz)
- 32MB RAM
- Elsa Winner 1000 (S3 Trio64)
- Adaptec 2940
- 2 SCSI-Disks
- 1 SCSI-CD-Rom
- Soundblaster 16
Does anyone have an idea, what might go wrong?
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards,
Frank

I'm sure I am. I've had Linux on my system now for less than 7 days - so I'm
quite pleased that I have evn managed to get X working properly and the
dummy interface configured.
The problem is that I only want Linux really as a test bed for playing with
CGI and DNS, so I really do want learn to run before I can walk.
It might be worth mentioning that the section covering Apache in my 775 page
Linux book (Que's "using Linux third edition") is precisely 36 pages long,
and has the grand total of 3 troubleshooting tips.

It claims to be finding the document in /usr/lib/httpd/htdocs (which doesn't
exist on my local Machine)
I found the document it is serving up in /var/lib/httpd/htdocs
Putting a different html document in either of these locations makes no
difference, and I still get this "standard" document served up.
Does Apache generate this doc. on the fly?

It is a full html doc now, with a mime type declaration in the <head>, and
everything.

I would bloody well hope so - if it wasn't a valid local address, arena
wouldn't give me anything because apache would not be answering (pointing it
at www.w3c.org gives me nothing but an hourglass). The httpd.conf has my
ServerName as the same as the local machine (i.e. ns.equaliser.net).

Checked - it's reading a different config file, whether I tell it to or
not - it reads this config file even if I just key
# httpd
at the command line. I checked over this config file, and everything is
hunky dory with it (although I had to change the ServerName line). I reboot,
and start httpd again, but still no joy.

I realise that, but how come it is actually serving up a document that does
not exist? Is it creating it on the fly?

Did #locate index.html - it found my own index page, and a bunch of tut file
indexes, plus /usr/lib/httpd/htdocs/index.html.
Aha! thinks I - so I key :
# cd /usr/lib
okay
then:
# cd httpd
bash: httpd: No such file or directory
I must be missing something - I reckon my Linux manual is missing something
too!

Done that - it's in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 now as well. Works fine, but makes
not a blind bit of difference to my problem. Have changed my /etc/hosts and
named.conf and named.rev to reflect this change. No joy.

It's listening okay. "Correctly" is my problem - I'm getting an Apache 400
error now when I try to GET http://ns.equaliser.net/ HTTP/1.0 - and then a
<title> Bad Request</title> message (see other posts in the thread.

It can nslookup ns.equaliser.net okay, but I can't get CNAMEing working for
any other addresses at that IP - still, I'll worry about that one
later.......

I know it can't be lying, but I have looked at the config files that it is
reading, and I have put a different document in the document root that
srm.conf specifies, and it still serves up this fictional index.html (that I
have erased from my machine). I am baffled.

I'd like to say not SLIP was transitioned to PPP, but ISPs replace SLIP
by PPP. :)

Why not? What�s the problem with masquerading? You can access the net
with all machines if you masquerade. To give access to all boxes from
the net, you first have to get a valid IP address for every machine
assigned.

Quite clear. You have only one valid IP address, so only one machine can
access the internet as long as you don�t use masquerading.

If you have correctly assigned valid addresses already, you have to tell
your provider to route all those addresses through the PPP link.
Otherwise, the packets get lost somewhere in the net.

1) You could physically move the CD-Rom drive from one machine to the
other.
2) You could use NFS and mount it remotely (read the NFS-HOWTO).

Subject: Apache + PHP3 + Oracle
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 11:32:09 GMT
Hi everyone.
I have a Redhat Linux 6.2 webserver, with Apache 1.3.12 (+PHP3) installed.
Now I want to use PHP3 to access a remote Oracle database located on another
PC.
What do I have to do to accomplish this? (I have an Oracle 8.1.6 CD)
I guess I will have to install the cli�nt programs of Oracle. But after
that, do I have to configure anything else? (will the standard redhat PHP
work?).
The purpose is that the machine is ready so that the programmer can dump his
code onto the machine.
Thanks in advance

Not sure what you mean by "global".
RHIDE=dir
will set RHIDE for the current shell.
RHIDE=dir ; export RHIDE
or
export RHIDE=dir
will set RHIDE for the current shell and all shells that are started by
it. If you use bash, you could put this statement in .bash_profile,
then it will always be set.

Hm, that's a lot more than Phil asked. But this happens to be my setup,
so here below are my lilo.conf and lilo.message files which make it
happen. Windows boots from /dev/hda1, linux from /dev/hda7. "prompt"
makes lilo skip the initial boot prompt and display the message right
away. "timeout" and "default" do what you mentioned. "single-key"
makes things simpler at boot time (useful for my wife, who wants to boot
to Windows without having to anything special) but has the disadvantage
of disabling any boot-time switches.
$ cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
compact
message=/etc/lilo.message
prompt
single-key
timeout=100
default=w
image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.16
label=l
root=/dev/hda7
read-only
append="mem=128m"
other=/dev/hda1
label=w
table=/dev/hda
$ cat /etc/lilo.message
Press l for Linux
w for Windows
or do nothing and Windows will start after a few seconds.
