YES!!!! You could try Slackware. I never ran it on 16megs but it runs fine
on my notebook with 32M.. It can even be used as a webserver.. wouldn't
push it to much.. but it can be used as testbedserver.. 16M isn't enough
for a productionserver..
Bye,
B.
Though it's possible to run Linux on a system with only 16 meg of RAM (I did
it with version 1.2 seven years ago..), I think you'll find that a lot of
'issues' will go away if you have at least 64 meg installed... Check out
Ebay for any 'deals' on RAM (128 meg 'sticks' should be going for
aproximately $35).
The PII-266mhz should be fine (I have 5 systems based on that CPU running
Linux at the moment).
There are a lot of issues with the 'vanilla' RedHat 7.0 version (hence, the
numerous RPM 'updates' you'll have to download and install), so you might
want to grab a copy of 7.1 which was recently released (but, there's still
about 6-10 RPM 'updates' you'll still need to download).
You haven't mentioned the method (RPM or source) of installation you've been
using, or the 'order' in which you've done it (which might help identify
what the issues are that you're running into...).
If you need a 'build sheet' that spells out the procedure of 'building' a
Linux server (including the steps for various packages, such as
apache/mysql/php, Samba, NTP, SSL, etc, let me know, and I'll Email them to
you...
There are also several 'articles' online that give generic info on building
systems consisting of these 'services'... (some are better than others).
Let me know if you're interesting in the links...

I suggest you try FreeBSD (www.freebsd.org). It's not Linux, but it is a
free Unix, and in my experience it tends to outperform Linux, especially in
low-memory situations. I actually managed to get Apache/PHP/MySQL to
*compile* on a 486 with 8 MB RAM. (it took a couple of days of compiling,
but it completed). Now that was PHP3, and MySQL 3.22, and I know the later
versions of each require more memory, but it should still be possible with
16 MB RAM. Just don't try to run an X desktop at the same time. Also
remember that MySQL has a --with-low-memory compile option.

I had this same problem, I did a Google search for the file, and it turned
up this file http://manuel01.virtualave.net/files/ocxpack2.zip
I found it on some Napster support site.
I extracted "MSCOMCTL.OCX" to my WINNT/System32/ directory, and things are
great now.

Jani and php-install-list,
Thank you very much for your help.
I add the path (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf
file, then run /sbin/ldconf. And start the apache,
the original error message(cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so
into server) is gone. But I got a new error message :
Syntax error on line 383 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid
command 'Order', 'Allow','deny',
'Logformat', Perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the
server configuration.
I think I might need to add more option in my php configuration. Anyone has
any idea about these.

Well, I haven't received anything from my previous 2 posts, so I guess my
wording caught somebody's attention. My next question is to verify that FDF
will work with the --with-apxs option, or does it have to be statically
linked to Apache?

You don't have to link it statically. It shouldn't make any difference.
DSO is just easier to update compared to statically linked module.
I only use DSO's for the very reason..as I update my PHP every day. :)

Hi,
i'm having trouble installing php 4.05 w/ apache 1.3.19 on win2k. Apache
works fine without php, but gives an "extension not found" error message
when configured to use php4apache.dll . I have tried changing apache
versions and changing the location of the php4apache.dll, but to no avail -
any ideas ?
thx,
Nick
I have a question about session variables.
In my page the session variables are not seen by the pages where tem are not declared.
I´ve used "session_register($variable)" and so after at another page I´ve called "echo
$variable;" and it generate a message that the variable does not exists.
The session variables are not suposed to be seen at any time, at any page when the
param globals is set on while session stands up?
Obrigado.

I could be wrong, but I think that u have to start the session on every page where u
want to make the variables visibles.

Hi, Y'all. Count me as one of the many who have had
trouble with pdflib, sthough my problem seems to be
a bit different.
In a nutshell, I can't seem to make PHP recognize that
the pdflib is there.
Configuration is PHP v 4.0.5, Apache 1.3.14, pdflib 4.0.0.
Pdflib compiles and install correctly. At one point there
was a pdflib installed as part of the SuSE installation,
but I removed it once I found it and I then did a make clean
on Apache, PHP and pdflib and recompiled and re-installed
everything.
PHP compiles and installs. The configuration as reported by
phpinfo is:
'./configure' '--with-apache=/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.14'
'--enable-discard-path' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/lib'
'--enable-sigchild'
'--enable-ctype' '--with-cybercash=/usr/local/src/mck-3.2.0.4-linux'
'--with-gdbm' '--with-ndbm' '--enable-ftp' '--with-mysql=/usr'
'--with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib'
'--with-tiff-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--enable-sockets' '--with-regex=php'
'--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--with-zlib' '--with-gnu-ld'
Note that this shows that PHP SHOULD know that the pdf functions
are compiled in. Changing the pdflib path causes Apache to fail
to compile due to missing PDF_* functions; further evidence that
the pdflib library is, indeed, being linked into Apache and PHP.
When run on the sample included with pdflib, the following error
is generated:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_new() in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/cjhunter/test/pdf/hello.php on line 5
Trying to bypass pdf_new() and going doing the fopen(),pdf_open()
trick just results in pdf_open() being the unknown function.
I can see that the module source code knows about pdf_open,
and I can see that the pdf module is compiled into PHP and
Apache. I just can't see why I can't call any of the pdflib
functions.
Any ideas?

Ok, I have a PC without the internet. I develop webpages on it. How should
I configure it to show php pages, and how do I go about doing it? Please
help me!

Basically, you'll have to set up a web server on your PC. Also, if you want
a data-driven site, you'll need a database server on there as well. Without
more information (PC spec, your OS of choice etc), there's not much more I
can say, apart from consider the practically standard solution of
apache/php/MySQL - this combination is available on both Windoze 9x/NT/2K
and *nix platforms. A good tutorial for setting it all up can be found at
the following URL:
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless/
or alternatively look at
http://www.webmasterbase.com/article.php?aid=228&pid=0
- a really comprehensive guide to data-driven websites with php& mysql (&
it covers installing under Doze as well!)
Hope this helps,
Dave.
