That is exactly the flexibility I have when I put my site specific Apache stuff in /data/config/apache Paul. I think the point is making use of what is by default built in to apache on our CentOS boxes. And this is and has been for some time making use of the include directed to look in /etc/httpd/conf.d directory and read in any *.conf files in that directory. So, why try to teach somebody to use another structure and customization? And why is this a good idea? Well, it does add complication in having multiple files to deal with. But the upside to that is it does reduce the number of edits to the main conf file. What is useful about this? Well, I do remember one time editing httpd.conf in Vi and after I finished Apache wouldn't restart. Panic of course immediately sets in when a webserver is not running and I looked and looked and looked and looked and couldn't find any problem with what I had done. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I found that I must have accidentally hit the 'x' key just after opening the file and had deleted the first '#' from the first line. I was working on a new virtual server during that edit and just knew I hadn't edited anywhere else... so had been totally concentrating on the end of the conf file instead of really looking at the top. If this had been in vhost.conf, I could have easily moved vhost.conf to vhost.conf.bak and immediately known that it was not the problem... and actually, wouldn't have had the main conf open to start with so would never have made that mistake. So, argue all you want, but many programs 'by default' add their apache conf files into /etc/httpd/conf.d so why not follow conventions? If you die, the next admin should know to look there first. And, removing or doing a temp something.conf.bak file quickly takes potential errors out of the equation. To me, the use of this includes directory is simply good practice for multiple reasons. On this list, teaching best 'standard' practices is a good idea.

That's kind of irrelevant. The thing that matters in a distribution managed by a package manager is that the base and optional components don't conflict with each other. In many places the distribution handles this by splitting what might be one big file into a directory of included components so each package can manage its own optional components. Apache is one of these. There are a number of web applications available in the base and 3rd party repos that drop snippets of apache config into /etc/httpd.conf.d and if you add your own packages you can do the same without conflict as long as you choose a different filename.

The session you get should default to what you used last. The problem is that if that was gnome, the way to switch is not obvious. Try this. On the login screen put in your username but not your password. Look carefully at the bottom of the window - you should find that one of the icons there allows you to change your session type.

On Friday 26 Aug 2011 Michael D. Berger wrote: On my old CentOS 5 KDE, if I add a link to ~/Desktop, it appears on the desktop as an icon. But on my new CentOS 6 KDE, this does not work. The reason is that Desktop is quite simply a directory - remember how it fits into the file system tree. KDE 3.x made a special case of that directory, making everything in it visible on your workspace. The default in KDE 4.x is not so. How can I make it work? Two things you can do, depending on how you like to work. a) Right-click on an open space on your desktop. You will see that it is set to Type: Desktop. This is intended to stay a clean, empty desktop, apart from any widgets that you choose to add. If you change the type to Folderview it will in fact show the contents of ~/Desktop - looking exactly like your old view. b) If you like a clean desktop, but miss the easy access to shortcuts, etc., you can add a Folderview widget. Initially it is rather big and points to ~/ If you hover over a folderview you will see a 'handle' or 'toolbox' appear. The top icon allows you to resize it - you can also resize the icons within it by mouse-scrolling. The second icon is for rotation - most people don't use that. The next icon opens the Settings menu - and there you can change the directory that the folderview points to - if you use remote directories that is very useful. You will find many changes explained in UserBase, but I'd recommend that you start with http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma - and the other section I'd really recommend that you read early is the Dolphin pages, particularly http://userbase.kde.org/Dolphin/File_Management HTH Anne signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You can back it up easily (/etc should be a stock part of everyone's backups, right?). You can subinclude, even making a subtree under the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory.

Two possibilities come to mind. One, the display command, also part of the ImageMagick suite will display the picture. If you click on said picture, a menu pops up. In that menu are many options. Second possibility, type in the commands and put all your output into one directory. When you've made your different pictures, install feh with yum install feh. Then, you can type feh directory_name and hit the n (as in next) key. This will go through the pictures, showing a new one each time you hit the next key. The real advantage of convert and other commands is the fact that they are typed commands. For example, at an old job, a graphic artist was given a bunch of pictures. She had to resize them, often dozens at a time, and the only way she knew how to do it was in photoshop, one by one. Now _that_ was laborious. When she mentioned it to me, I had her drop them in a directory on a server and I would run a script to resize them. Anyway, good luck with it. The whole ImageMagick suite is extremely userful. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Angel: I'm weak.
