OK well I am running apache on REDHAT. It is possible to set up virtual
hosts to do this.
Am I right in saying thta you can now run APACHE on WINDOWS? If so your
problems shoudl be solved. Go to www.apacheweek.com for a good article on
how to set virtual hosts under their features section.
I hope I have understood your problem correctly!!

Hi all,
I am trying to get the ALSA modules installed on my RedHat 6.1, 2.2.17 kernel box. I
have downloaded
the tarballs, configs, maked, and make installed them. Then typed ./sndconfig .
So far so good. I now have a heap of modules in the expectd pace (I think):
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc
Now by my understanding I just type
modprobe snd-intel8x0 (I have the dreaded intel i810 chip!)
and that will install the module. But no, life is obviously far more difficult than
this. I am getting:
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/snd.o: unresolved symbol unregister_sound_dsp
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/snd.o: unresolved symbol register_sound_dsp
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/snd.o: unresolved symbol unregister_sound_special
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/snd.o: unresolved symbol register_sound_special
snd-mixer: No such file or directory
snd-pcm: No such file or directory
What on earth is going on? I have snd.o in the /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc directory too.
I also try
modprobe snd-mixer
modprobe snd-pcm
but I get:
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/snd.o: unresolved symbol unregister_sound_dsp
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/snd.o: unresolved symbol register_sound_dsp
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/snd.o: unresolved symbol unregister_sound_special
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/snd.o: unresolved symbol register_sound_special
snd-timer: No such file or directory
any help would now be greatly appreciated on what I do next.
Cheers,
Jason

Looks like you messed up your boot scripts.

How would we know? Go take a look, figure out what's damaged and fix

difference between 1 2 and 3), but that the rest of your /etc/init.d or

I put that alias in /etc/bashrc (Mandrake 7.2). Then
anytime I'm connected to the Net, I can su to root and type
'tdate' That sets the system clock to the correct time
from the time.nist.gov server. In my case US Central time.
You may want a different time server. I then type
'hwclock --systohc' to set the hardware clock (bios) to the
corrected system clock.

Hi I have been trying to set the path so that the current working directory
is checked but so far I have had no luck. This is what I have been trying.
[user@dogbert ~]$ echo $SHELL
/bin/csh
[user@dogbert ~]$ echo $PATH
/home/user/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/kde2/bin:/usr/lib/kde2/bin:
/usr/local/bin
[user@dogbert ~]$ set path = ( $PATH . )
[user@dogbert ~]$ echo $PATH
/home/user/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/kde2/bin:/usr/lib/kde2/bin:
/usr/local/bin:.
[user@dogbert ~]$
all seems well until
[user@dogbert ~]$ ls
ls: Command not found.
so I check the path again to make sure that I hadn't overwritten he rest.
[user@dogbert ~]$ echo $PATH
/home/user/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/kde2/bin:/usr/lib/kde2/bin:
/usr/local/bin:.
[user@dogbert ~]$
This seems fine so ls should work but it doesn't. Next I opened another
terminal and tried again
[user@dogbert ~]$ echo $PATH
/home/user/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/kde2/bin:/usr/lib/kde2/bin:
/usr/local/bin
[user@dogbert ~]$ ls
Desktop bin nsmail week01 week02 week03 week04
[user@dogbert ~]$
but now I have lost the . ????
Next I tried logging out and back in to see if the changes would only take
effect from login but they had been lost
[user@dogbert ~]$ echo $PATH
/home/user/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/kde2/bin:/usr/lib/kde2/bin:
/usr/local/bin
[user@dogbert ~]$
I have also tried all the above using the bash shell and the command export
PATH=$PATH:.
but the same thing happens.
If any one can help I would be very grateful
Thanks

Here is the problem:
I had win2k on a 10Gig partition, and winme on a 5Gig partition, all on
one harddrive. Linux was alone on a different drive, LILO installed.
I decided to wipe out win2k altogether, so I fdisk'd and deleted its
partition. Now fdisk sees only one drive of 5Gigs taken at 100%; in
other words, the 10 Gig partition is not seen by fdisk.
BTW, I wiped out Linux also on its own drive.
How can I recover the 10Gig partition without, of course lose my 5Gig
where all my backup files recide?
Help please!!!!!!!

I have solved this problem. It seems that the installation of one of the
packages (mandrake_desk?) deleted /etc/X11/window-managers. Thankfully I
had a backup, restored it, moved /etc/X11/wmsession.d/, and ran
convertsession and it built all the correct entries in
/etc/X11/wmsession.d/. Now both kdm and gdm work. However, it was
definitely not me who removed /etc/X11/window-managers, so I think that
this should be looked into before 7.2 goes final.
Any help with the kdemultimedia problem would be a big help.

Would one or more of you please give me some pointers on how to start?
I have an old 486DX machine with a 250mb HD, 8meg Ram, and 2 3Com
nics, that I would like to set up as my internet server/firewall. It
will not run X or have any other purpose except to serve web traffic
to other machines on my network(Maskerading?). The network consists of
a bunch of windows 9x computers and a HUB.
I have installed RedHat in the past via FTP but that was awhile ago.
I'd like to do it again could someone help me with instructions on
starting. This machine has no CD-Rom.
What Disk image(s) would be needed? (FTP install)
What FTP server would be best?
(I know there are lots. Which have best throughput?)
What packages would I need?
What other factors may effect this install?
Any links to relative Docs?
Thank you all

The TFTP server used by recent Suse, Redhat & Mandrake Linux appears to
be semi-broken. The only way I have been able to use it is to turn off
TCP wrappers by deleting hosts.allow and hosts.deny in /etc. It also
refuses to create new files, even if you turn on the allow create
switch, so to tftp to your Linux box, the file must already exist in the
/tftpboot directory and be writeable by user "nobody" I used to use the
following script.
#!/bin/sh
touch /opt/tftpboot/$1
chmod 666 /opt/tftpboot/$1
sudo chown nobody.nogroup /opt/tftpboot/$1
ls -l /tftpboot/$1
If you don't like the idea of exposing your machine to the world, lobby
for fixes to in.tftpd and in the meantime check out freshmeat for utftp,
a much improved tftp daemon designed for router maintenance.
Good luck and have fun!

The path is (a) spelled PATH, not path, (b) an environment variable, not
a shell variable, and (c) a string, not a word list, so that won't work.
export PATH=$PATH:. (bash)
setenv PATH $PATH:. (csh)
... but be warned that this is a security risk (what happens if the
current working directory is /tmp and you mistype a command?). Just
train yourself to type ./foo for executables in your current directory.

Unsurprisingly, because environment variable settings take effect only
for the current shell (and child processes, if you export them). Set
them in various of .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc, .cshrc, and friends
(see the bash and csh man pages for when these various files are used)
if you want them to be persistent across shells.

Are you sure that fails to set the execution search path? It works here,
and should work on your system.
>I am using RedHat 7.0 with the KDE windows manager and kernel 2.2.16
I'll be scared if the window manager or the kernel is relevant here. ;)
