No "reverse engineering" occurred.  Sometimes "less is more" with search
engines.

This is the search I used:
http://groups.google.com/groups?ie=UTF-8&q=multiple+instances+of+apache+on+Windows&qt_s=Ser%C4%89u
or http://tinyurl.com/b5xfs

...but if you try with the search string "install multiple instances of
apache on Windows" (without the quotes), you'd find this post, which at
this time of writing is also the first result from the initial search
string tried:

With that, you'd see that you cannot run the installer multiple times as
MSI files don't give you that ability. Efficient use of Google would
have saved you from a great deal of frustration (and a bit of getting
bashed here). :)

Perhaps the apache documentation is misleading; regardless, that'd be an
issue better brought up with them. Open source software is made better
by the community of users using it.  If you feel that the documentation
is unclear, tell them. Such projects love getting suggestions or patches
sent in to improve the software or documentation.  Perhaps it was written
with the assumption that people running apache in Windows would
understand what "installing multiple copies" meant. I can't say as I'm
not a member of the "Apache Software Foundation."

Since this thread has toned down a bit with no one being referred to as
"assholes" anymore, I'm bowing out of this discussion. As long as
something was learned, this little excercise was worthwhile.  I also am
"bowing out" as I don't want to see this follow the trend of [EMAIL

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the response. However, I feel that you reverse-engineered the
answer here. Instead of searching for how to install multiple instances of
httpd (which is what the manual says to do), you already knew that answer
was to run multiple instances of the same installation and googled for an
article on that. 

I may be slow at times, but in my multi hour search online, I was still
unable to find an article that instructs the user, as the manual says, to
install multiple instances of httpd on Windows. Not saying that there is not
a way to do it...

Again, I apologize for posting a Windows-based problem on this board, but I
did so with the assumption that there would be many Apache users here and
that the more experienced ones may know how to help me in Windows and
   


Linux.
 


That being said, the Apache manual is a bit misleading in that it says that
in order to accomplish what I needed, httpd would have to be installed
multiple times. However, when running the installation program on the
machine that already had it installed, you are confronted with a "repair"
   


or
 


"uninstall" options - installation of another instance is not an option.

I felt rather thick-headed after 4+ hours of research into the problem. It
seems that Virtual Hosts work for most people, so this issue is not
discussed very much on the support forums. Unfortunately for me, the
   


scripts
 


that we run refer to paths in a way that does not allow them to work
properly under Virtual Hosts.

Cutting to the chaise, I should have thought of the solution sooner, but
   


the
 


idea eventually came to me. Instead of installing httpd multiple times, I
wonder if the same installation can be executed multiple times with
different variables. After reading the manual and messing around with the
configuration script, I finally got it to work.

#1: Edit your httpd.conf file. Find the line that reads "listen :80" and
replace it with the IP of website #1 followed by the port. Ie: listen
206.110.16.25:80
#2: Copy your httpd.conf file and give it a new name like httpd#2.conf
#3: Edit httpd#2.conf and edit the Listen command with the IP and Port of
your second website.
#4: Also Edit the DocumentRoot statement with a path to the root directory
of your second website. (Obviously create this new directory)
#5 Save the file.
#6 Click START, RUN, type in CMD and click OK.
#7 In the command window, browse to the folder containing apache.exe
#8 run apache -f "C:\Progra~1\Apache~2\Apache2\conf\httpd#2.conf"

Bingo! You have 2 instances of Apache server running on your box, each with
it's own config file and it's own root directory.

Katipo and Alvin, feel free to read this procedure and pass it off as your
own in the future. Sorry that I made you feel so incompetent. Being a
Systems Admin for a multitude of customers ranging from Dental Clinics to
5000+ server Datacenters, I have not come into much contact with Apache. I
thought you assholes, could serve to provide some help with this obvious
error in the Apache documentation, but instead I reinforced my belief in
   


the
 


reasons why most people use software that has documentation and phone
numbers to call for help.

Kent, I belong to about 10 other mailing lists. Various car clubs, sport
tuners, cultural association, etc. I have never had my head torn off this
bad for a marginally off-topic post. It's not like I posted here to ask how
to troubleshoot the MAS to ECU link on my Mitsubishi 3000GT... 

Granted, the question was pretty basic, but given the verbiage in the manual
"install another copy of httpd", I hope that others can see why it was
confusing. 

Being ignored is one thing. Seeing reply posts saying something to the
effect of, "Your post does not meet the guidelines, please do not post
off-topic" would be fine too. But getting smart-ass comments with cheap
shots at my title, etc. is ridiculous. What's more shocking is seeing people
here defend those actions.

I will make a point to post on-topic from now on...

Just to make it clear, your problem is with Apache and Windows, not with
Debian.

(Although I agree with you that the responses you got were offensive,
even if they were "technically" appropriate.)

(And I personally don't have an issue with the rare off-topic post on
this list if there's a good chance that this list can provide the
answer. Unfortunately, in your case, this list apparently could not
provide the answer, and the response you should have gotten is silence

I don't think they were offensive responses, but humorous. Maybe misguided. 
someone should have said "this is a debian list, please point yourself to 
apache." but is it really worth the effort to bother to tell him what he should 
obviously already know? When faced with annoying posts from left field, levity 
is better than completely ignoring him.

Just to make it clear, your problem is with Apache and Windows, not with
Debian.

(Although I agree with you that the responses you got were offensive,
even if they were "technically" appropriate.)

(And I personally don't have an issue with the rare off-topic post on
this list if there's a good chance that this list can provide the
answer. Unfortunately, in your case, this list apparently could not
provide the answer, and the response you should have gotten is silence
or a polite redirection rather than the rudeness you received. (I now
expect to get flamed, but that's okay; it happens.))

replies to my wildly off-topic post, I'm now going to post more
off-topic material.

me.

Translation:  Since some of you "assholes" reacted negatively when I
treated you with discourtesy and disrespect, and none of you answered
my wildly off-topic question in a high-volume mailing list (never mind
that even *on-topic* questions routinely fall through the cracks here
because of the volume of traffic), it must be a failing on your part.
Not only that, it must say something fundamental about free and/or
open source software (other than that its users may react negatively
to expressions of discourtesy such as the posting of wildly off-topic
questions to a high-volume mailing list).

While they may not have "proved" that they knew, why would you assume
such? Acting like an asshat as you've done with the attempted insults is
uncalled for (I say attempted because coming from the source, your
"insults" don't mean squat). Actually there was a third, but who's

Wellthe *correct* place to ask would have been
http://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-users.  Ironically enough, that
was easily found with GOOGLE or just by going to their web site and
clicking the obvious "mailing lists" link.

Yes, that's how MSI files work--something I would hope that a paid
professional that is experienced with Windows would know.

This is a Debian list, not a Windows list. That's likely why no-one
responded.  This ML isn't for
1) Windows support
2) Apache support running on Windows.

Also, as E.S. Raymond wrote:

Guess what you did? =) At least the "assholes" (Alvin & Kapito: I don't
mean that) didn't ignore you like I and everyone else did. They cared
enough to give a short response while some of us were writing new
Spamassassin rules to catch your future emails. OK, maybe just *I* was

If you had a problem with the Apache documentation, wouldn't Apache's
website be the *best* place to look for information?  Definitely your
initial message would have been better suited for *their* mailing lists.
They support Windows users, we *don't*.

I see.  Is that why Apache is still the most used web server according to the 
Netcraft surveys?
Reference http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html.  

Is that why *YOU* use Apache? I'd say the reason "most people use
software that has documentation and phone numbers to call for help"
(i.e., Windows) is because they're "sheep" or they don't know any
better.  Your resolution could have been found with
1) common sense
2) Google
3) asking on the proper forum, i.e., the Apache list(s).

Side note:  Per your website:

> No matter what the job calls for we will design your website in a
> timely and professional manner at a reasonable rate.

I don't think web sites that do not validate look very professional. You
may want to correct that...

In the future, try to ask on the proper forum (in this case, Apache's
MLs or a Windows-centric forum) and don't be so quick to refer to fellow
list-members as "assholes." It does't look very "professional".  

...then again neither does asking the wrong mailing list for information.
;)

Is the second HD configured as slave and the first configured as

It sometimes looks dumb to say this, but some HD come with three-way

1997-07-21 Thread Lazar Fleysher
Hi people!

This is not a Debian question, but I thought someone might know

I have a pentium computer with a dual IDE controller, but BIOS can access
only primary channel.

 Will Linux be able to 'see' both channels? (hope it is a yes...)

And one more question.  

I have tried to install second HD on the primary channel and .  
Hard drive from Western Digital is not recognized at all, but BIOS can
find a Seagate one.  Nevertheless, when I turn on the computer BIOS says
that the new HD did not pass POST, press F1 to continue and computer boots
from my old Panasonic drive, but very slowly... After that if I warm
reboot the computer, everything is fine.
 
It is a bit inconvenient to wait for 3 min for an error message, slow boot
and then reboot  Quite a complicated boot sequence. ...
IDE controller supports PIO 0,1,2,3,4 ; BIOS supports Large Block
Addressing (LBA mode)

Did anyone have the same type of problem? Does anyone know what to do?
Maybe I have to change something in BIOS setup...
People how manufactured BIOS ( Award ) and IDE claim that it should
work.

Thanks to everybody
