Re: [newbie] initial apache setup
I have a different configuration but, initially, I had a similar problem I think. Since my two boxes were linked to a router which was, in turn, linked to the internet, when my second box was trying to access the web server of the first one, actually it looked liked it was accessing itself (because of the router). I had to create a correspondance in the hosts file (192.168.0.2 my.second.machine) in order to make it working properly. /stefano Bill Winegarden wrote: Hi Everyone, I am setting up a webserver using apache 1.3.8. It seems that I have the server functioning properly because I can see my simple web page when I type the IP address or localhost into the address bar of my browser. However, I have a second connection to the internet on a separate IP address in my home and I can't see anything when I address to my site. I went to grc.com and it seems that port 80 is open for business. Also, I tried to ping my web server machine (LM9.1) from the other (WinXP) and the was no responsetimed out. Is there some network config file that has to be set up in LM9.1 in order to accept connections? I can supply my IP addie if anyone want to try it. tia, Bill W.

Re: [newbie] Apache 2, virtual hosts and SSL
It did not work for me, sorry. When I add a new host to the sss.default-vhost.conf file, it appears in WebMin as just another virtual host which manages the named virtual host. Actually, the only way in which i can use HTTPS with my Apache 2 system is by using https://localhost/; and this makes use of the default vhost present in the ssl.default-vhost.conf file. Clearly this prevents me from accessing my WebServer from another machine by using HTTPS. Also, one strange thing is that when in Webmin I try to use the SSL options associated to any virtual host, the SSLEngine on directive is properly written in the Vhost.conf file but apachectl is unable to restart, i.e. this directive makes httpd2 not able to start. Now, it seems to me that this should be something very basic... i.e. HOW COULD I USE HTTPS on a Virtual Host! Using HTTPS on localhost does not add that much, right ? /stefano Troy Davidson wrote: Stefano, I was reading up on Virtual Domains and Apache and found this.

Re: [newbie] Subdirs in IMAP folders
Bela, seems Evolution is more clever than Mozilla/Netscape. According to a quick test I did, you create a normal folder, let's say aa. Immediately, you create a new folder bb as a child of aa. It seems that aa is converted to a Directory and bb is included in that directory. In Mozilla, you have to instruct to create a directory immediately. I guess that, if you create aa and, before creating bb you store some mails into aa, this may not work. /Stefano P.S.This is some reason to migrate to Evolution for me.

[newbie] 8.2, Samba and Webmin
I installed 8.2
and I found it great. Samba was configured in a minute and was working perfectly
(shares and printers).
I do not know why
I wanted to have a look to Webmin I just had a tour without changing
anything in the "Samba" section From that point, the printer got an "Access
Denied, Unable to connect" error (adding "use client driver = Yes" simply
removed the warningbut I cannot actually use my Linux printer from my
Windows 2000 machine)... and also I cannot write anymore to my shared drives
("Access denied: the source file may be in use" but it is not in use
!!!).
Any idea how to
"undo" what I did in Webmin? Apparently the smb.conf was not modified (I saved a
copy of smb.conf of a situation in which Samba was
working...)

[newbie] Strange behaviour after MandrakeUpdate
I am running 8.1 I have used MandrakeUpdate and selected the 3 categories (Bug fixes, Normal, Security). I installed everything except the Kernels (3 packages). After that, once rebooting, the following happens: 1. During boot the network is available (I can ping the Linux machine from outside). As soon as the Login Screen becomes available (or shortly after) the network is unreachable. The Linux machine is not visible from outside and it cannot reach other machines. But it can ping itself (using 192.168.0.1 or the machine name). 2. The Graphical Login wants to reconfigure my desktop as if it was the first time. When I select the first step (the KDE desktop but it is the same with Gnome), then the NVidia screen appears and I am prompted again with the Login Screen. The only way I can access my system is via a non-graphical console Could someone tell me if I did something wrong when I used MandrakeUpdate (I mean, should i only have used the Security category ???) or if this problem was exprimented by other people? How could I get a working system back (other than re-installing MDK 8.1 again) ? Thanks a lot. Best regards /stefano Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Is this a joke?
Could someone pls help me in getting the quickest to-do list for using the downloaded Kernel and to reconfig it in order to: - support PPP / ISDN - support mounting CDROMS and NTFS partitions - able to support the Sharing Internet Connection - printing I know I should read in detail the HowTo, but I have not a lot of time and the multiple options in the Kernel configuration are, sometimes, difficult to understand for me. Thanks a lot in advance.

RE: [newbie] Ximian-Gnome Installation
Thanks a lot, indeed. After having installed Ximian, the doorman application crashes continuosly (Segmentation fault).

RE: [newbie] Ximian-Gnome Installation
It is just the standard 8.0, without Freq nor cooker packages (only the Updated packages) I did not install everything, I followed the normal installation. Now, using RedCarpet, I downloaded and installed everything (I think, something like 25 MB more of software) and I will see. I will let you know how it goes.
