Re: Executing Java as a CGI
On Mon, 25 May 1998, Fred Whipple wrote: I'm trying to work my way through the Java-CGI HOWTO, but have run into Although I can't imagine why you'd want to write CGI scripts in Java other than the "coolness factor," I think I can point out your problem. # test.class is in the same directory as test.cgi, # so there should be no problem calling the program like this: java test There is your mistake. You should always call programs by their full pathnames whenever possible in scripts. This is particularly important in CGI scripts which do not inherit the same PATH environment variable that you are used to seeing as a user. Although, this is not DIRECTLY the problem, it is still good practice. But I bet that PATH problems are still the fundamental problem. Unlike DOS, just because two programs are in the same directory, does not necessarily mean they can call each other just by using their filename. Whenever a bash script tries to execute another program, it always uses the PATH environment variable and ignores the current directory (unless "." is in the PATH variable, which it should not be even though Red Hat 5.0 does so). However, based on your statements the CGI bash script seems to be finding the Java wrapper script, but the Java wrapper script isn't able to find the Java interpreter. java was not found in /usr/bin/jdk-1.1.5/../bin/i586/green_threads/java If this is the path it is searching, no wonder. Examine the path, and you will see that it is really looking in /usr/bin/bin/i586/green_threads/java most likely this is not where your interpreter is. But without your PATH environment variable, your .java_wrapper can probably not find the interpreter it is looking for. You have three choices. Either export the PATH environment variable with the settings you need (which I don't know what they are, but the same PATH you have as a user would probably do fine), rewrite the wrapper to set its own PATH variable, or give up on the wrapper and code the correct invocation of the interpreter directly into your CGI script. -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Re: Another go at IPX

Sigh. Been there, it didn't work. I followed all of the steps for setting up
mars_nwe, up to the point of verifying that my /proc filesystem looked right,
but whenever I had one of my NW-enabled Linux boxes look for available servers,
it would only see itself (not the other IPX-enabled Linux box, not any of our NT
servers that talk IPX, just itself, in spite of the fact that all of our Linux
boxes connect beautifully over TCP/IP). That's why I was hoping somebody could
provide me with a working example.
Tried all of the frame types, too, and nothing made any difference.
I already use SAMBA like crazy, but since we are doomed to using several Win95
machines without the GUI, those machines can't run TCP/IP -- only IPX.
Alternatively you may be able to use SAMBA to export resource as Windows
Shares. I don't actually know if it is possible to run SAMBA over IPX.
I would suspect so (Win95 has to share its drives somehow), but I think that
would be redundant if I can get IPX to work at all.
Anyway 2 things to take a look at, come back with any more specific
queries.

I think that part of my problem is that the IPX HOWTO assumes that you
know something about Novell (we don't have any Novell machines), so it
leaves certain terms undefined or unexplained.
I'm sure that somebody somewhere has a RedHat box which talks IPX, so
whoever you are, would you mind helping me out with a copy of some
config files? All I want is a working example to compare to the
instructions.
The whole reason for this is that we have a few win95 boxes which are
committed to using only IPX, and right now we're setting up a Linux
fileserver, so if we want it to be useful to the 95 machines, we have to
be able to export resources ('drives' in the M$ world) _from_ the Linux
machine to the 95 boxes over IPX.

Not overwhelmed by Metro-X and having done a bit of reading, I am considering XFree, but also considering olvwm, fvwm as well. Which are easy to install and which are more widely supported ? Mike, these are different issues you've gotten a bit tangled here. XFree86 Metro-X are X drivers. Once set up, they'll allow you to run X on your installation. olvwm, fvwm, fvwm2, etc., are window managers; they provide the tools which allow you to work in X once you've got the system working. The choice between XFree86 and MetroX must be based on both objective subjective factors. When MetroX works, it can work quite well. It is a commercial X driver that has been, unfortunately, somewhat problematic in the past. There appear to be some good people behind the product, and they've donated a lot of code/support to the free X driver, XFree86. There were, apparently, difficulties on the control administration side of the MetroX house; they've been trying to clean up the show, but even the last release was not good for many users. You'll need to take the list of equipment that you have - video card specs and monitor specs, and then determine which of the X drivers will work for your hardware. If both, try both, and then make a choice from there. A lot of users find that XFree86 works well, has been more stable and reliable for their hardware, and seems to be more bug free than MetroX. MetroX will, however, support some video chipsets that XFree can't; being commercial they can have NDA's that give them access to data about proprietary chipsets which XFree86 can't get. Publish details about your video card, video RAM capacity, monitor, etc., and then I think we can help a bit more.

Re: X Quick Poll
You seem to be confusing X _SERVERS_ with X _WINDOW MANAGERS_. There are two basic popular X Servers for Red Hat users : MetroX and XFree86. (Yes, others exist, but we're talking about popularity with RH customers, a good chunk of whom will use one of the two that came on their CD). There are a PLETHORA of Window Managers, which (if done correctly *grin*) should run under whatever X Server is operational : fvwm, fvwm95, olvwm, kvm, etc. Hope this makes your search a little easier. Personally, I prefer MetroX (because it has very easy to configure multiple monitor support) as a server, although I didn't use it for all that long (because it didn't, and this is a downside, support the second video card that I had gotten). Previous to having two monitors/cards, I used KDE as my window manager (well, kvm actually, but KDE is the whole "package") Just my $0.02 worth, your mileage will vary.

A common new-guy mistake; you've confused X servers with window managers. An X server (under Red Hat you have XFree86 and MetroX from which to choose, and a handful of other--more expensive--ones are available and necessary for certain graphics cards that are not supported by XFree86 and MetroX) is the program that handles the lowest-level X commands, like 'make a window'.

I'll ping 192.168.1.2 from the server and it is perfectly happy to reply, but if I try and ping the NT box from the server nothing it can't see it. If I ping the NT box from itself, it works, but I cannot ping the server from the NT box. I know that the cabling and the hub are okay. I know the network cards work. When I installed, I hauled the box into the my office and plugged it into an ethernet inet connection using the eth1 card (then eth0). After the install, I copied ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1 and edited ifcfg-eth0 to be 192.168.1.2. After a reboot, I could still get out on the net through eth1. When I took the box home, I disabled the config for eth1 on bootup. From home I simply cannot see any computer on the LAN. However, if I establish a PPP connection, I can get to the internet. Below are a few config files, display outputs, etc. I'm new to RedHat and it isn't nearly as straight foward as Debian, so this is everything I could find that was semi-important... BTW, please assume that I do not have X running, so any solutions must not use the X based config tools. Thanks.

Re: Defragment utilities??? (and other questions)
Defragmentation utility for ext2 partition does exist. It is called 'defrag' :-). The latest version I know is defrag-0.73-2. But be VERY careful with it. If smth goes wrong with your system when this utility is working over some partition, this partition may be lost completely and you'll have to format it via 'mkfs -t ext2'. You will hardly be able to save some information from it. This happened to me once and I never use this utility since that time. :-( The number you get after fsck checks the partition really indicates the defragmentation of your partition, but usually it is about several per cent, so nothing to worry about.

Re: xfree 3.3.2 and Xwrapper
Since uprading to XFree86 3.3.2 I have been struggling with trying to use X as a normal user. I can get X to work as root if I keep the following: [rgolan@ozenfant bin]$ ls -al X Xwrapper XF86_SVGA lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root9 May 26 13:27 X - XF86_SVGA -rwxr-xr-x 1 root users 3048967 Mar 3 15:11 XF86_SVGA -rwS--x--x 1 root users5907 Mar 3 15:12 Xwrapper [rgolan@ozenfant bin]$ I have tried replacing the link from XF86_SVGA to Xwrapper and then I can't start X even as root. (signal 2 error) I got Netscape to work by juggling the /etc/ld.so.conf as follows: [rgolan@ozenfant bin]$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib /usr/X11R6/lib [rgolan@ozenfant bin]$ So the hurdle I still need to overcome is the correct use of Xwrapper. The XFree86 FAQ is not clear to me but if someone can interpret it for me or knows of another explanation I would appreciate it. ===excerpt from XFree86 3.3.2 FAQ=== The xinit command (which startx runs) provided with XFree86 3.3.2 and later has been modified to look for an X server called ``Xwrapper'' instead of ``X''. If you don't have Xwrapper installed, you will get an error message from xinit/startx when it tries to start the non-set-uid X server without using the wrapper. The same thing will happen if you do have Xwrapper installed but you have an xserverrc file (usually $HOME/.xserverrc, but it can be any file pointed to by your XSERVERRC environment variable) that references ``X'' instead of ``Xwrapper''. To fix that, edit your xserverrc file and replace ``X'' with ``Xwrapper''. If instead of X you have some other X server name (eg, XF86_SVGA) in your xserverrc file, you will need to create a symbolic link from it to /usr/X11R6/bin/X and replace it with ``Xwrapper'' in your xserverrc file. -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Re: 2nd ide hdd?

I was wondering if I can use this with linux on an old 486MB that doesn't support LBA or large hdd's at all? Sure! If you're going to use it as a SECONDARY drive (i.e., NOT the one from which you boot) there's no problem at all, just put it in, partition it with fdisk run mkfs and then mount your partitions. If you want to boot from it, just make sure that the partition where you kernel lives is entirely below cylinder 1024 (0-1023). One easy way to do this is to make a small partition (5-20 mb) at the beginning of the disk, copy everything from /boot to it, then mount it as /boot (make sure it is listed in /etc/fstab so it'll get mounted automatically at boot time). Having done that, you should be fine. There used to be an old mini-HOWTO on using large IDe drives that spelled out the procedure, but it seems to have been replaced by a newer, larger one that discusses other things, but not that (or not as well). But it's not hard to do anyway.

RE: AMD K-6 Questions
What's the word on the AMD K6 compatibility with Linux? I'm running RH5.0 on a 200MHZ K6 and a Shuttle 569 MB. I've just used kernels that were RPMed on the RH site... seems fine to me. The RH hardware compatibility guide suggests that there may be some problems with installing Linux on a K6 system. I just wanted to know if This had me worried too, but I took the plunge figuring that they were just being conservative. The manual does say that you should use the '386 options for building kernels to be safe... that's something I know nothing about at this time. anyone has had problems/successes with these processors and/or K6-compatible BIOS My runs...

Re: Defragment utilities??? (and other questions)
From: "George Lenzer" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1. Does Linux have/need a defragmenting program? I looked around on the net and found some indications that as long as 10% of the file system is free, ext2 doesn't need defragmenting? Is that true? I noticed that my system mentions The file systems does some "smart" things to reduce fragmentation. I believe these include buffering writes until a significant number of blocks are need so they can be allocated contiguously and preallocating blocks in hopes that they can be used for the same file - I'm certain it frees those blocks if they don't end up being used. These are from a description I saw in a OS textbook that had a chapter on Linux. Someone can probably give you a more detailed answer if you need it, but in general fragmentation is not a problem with the Linux file system (ext2). That doesn't mean there is no fragmentation, but not enough to worry about. something about "0.8% non-contiguous" after re-mounting /dev/hda at boot time. Is this a fragmentation message? Don't know for certain, but probably and certainly 0.8% is nothing to worry about. I think I heard that someone wrote a defragmenter for the ext2 file system, but since you are new to Linux, I wouldn't bother with it until fragmentation becomes a problem for you and it probably never will. 2. How difficult is it to recompile the kernel for someone who can write batch files under DOS and had some BASIC programming experience in the days before structured BASIC? (120 GOTO 10, etc...) I want to add sound support to my Linux machine, but I am afraid that the machine will not boot after I recompile. Which leads to my next question; The main thing you need to know is what support to include and what you can include in modules (assuming you want to build a modular kernel which is probably a good idea). Other than that, it's just a matter of following directions that are in the RedHat manual and/or the kernel compile HOWTO. I compiled my kernel w/o reading the HOWTO - just followed the directions in the RedHat 4.1 manual. I had a fair amount of general computer and Unix knowledge at the time, but was new to Linux and I was able to determine for the most part what I needed to include and what I didn't. I suspect the kernel compile HOWTO tells you about the options. Make certain you keep a copy of the old kernel in case your new kernel won't boot. You'll need to modify the lilo.conf file and rerun lilo after compiling the kernel to specify the new kernel and allow the old kernel to still boot (assuming your using lilo). Again, this information should be in the kernel compile HOWTO. 3. If I installed the "Multimedia machine" option when I installed Redhat 5.0, was that supposed to have configured sound for me or only install support? I tried to use x11amp the other night and I got two error messages. (Something about not being able to open device /dev/audio and one other error.) 4. If I successfully get sound working from the console, does that carry over to the X environment? Can't answer your sound questions since I have never bothered trying to get my sound card to work. 5. Should I have istalled the C developer libraries and compilers, etc... in order to recompile the kernel? Yes, you'll need those along with the four kernel RPMS. If you didn't install them initially (you had to install one of them, but you may not have installed the other three), you can install them now using rpm. You'll need to mount the RedHat CD and then use rpm to install them. Hint: look at the commands mount, umount and rpm. If you can't figure it out, ask and I'm certain someone on the list will help.

Not overwhelmed by Metro-X and having done a bit of reading, I am considering XFree, but also considering olvwm, fvwm as well. Which are easy to install and which are more widely supported ? Mike, these are different issues you've gotten a bit tangled here. XFree86 Metro-X are X drivers. Once set up, they'll allow you to run X on your installation. olvwm, fvwm, fvwm2, etc., are window managers; they provide the tools which allow you to work in X once you've got the system working. The choice between XFree86 and MetroX must be based on both objective subjective factors. When MetroX works, it can work quite well. It is a commercial X driver that has been, unfortunately, somewhat problematic in the past. There appear to be some good people behind the product, and they've donated a lot of code/support to the free X driver, XFree86. There were, apparently, difficulties on the control administration side of the MetroX house; they've been trying to clean up the show, but even the last release was not good for many users. You'll need to take the list of equipment that you have - video card specs and monitor specs, and then determine which of the X drivers will work for your hardware. If both, try both, and then make a choice from there. A lot of users find that XFree86 works well, has been more stable and reliable for their hardware, and seems to be more bug free than MetroX. MetroX will, however, support some video chipsets that XFree can't; being commercial they can have NDA's that give them access to data about proprietary chipsets which XFree86 can't get.

I would like to have internet access through the Linux box (I assume some kind of IP Masquerading would be needed), printer sharing and file sharing also. From there, local email, central faxing and group scheduling seem pretty easy. So the question is: What software should I use to network these different operating systems together? Netatalk looks like a good solution if it were just Linux and the Mac but I don't know what to use in this situation. You've actually listed several requirements: 1) Internet access for a small LAN. Run tcp/ip on all clients. Linux box connects to Internet via modem, ISDN, or whatever. RH 5.x ships with everything you need in a normal install; you will need to turn on IP Forwarding and run appropriate ipfwadm rules (search for ipfwadm in the message archives for some recent suggestions). Optionally, run DHCPD on Linux box to assign IP addresses and named (aka BIND) for local nameservice. I'd get the networking under control before doing anything else; without it you're stopped anyway. There are several FAQs discussing this in more detail. 2) File and printer sharing. For the Win95/NT boxen, Samba is probably easiest. You may need to do some special configuration of the samba server to support encrypted passwords on the Windows box (esp. NT 4.0 with SP3). This is all documented in the doc files included with the samba rpm and on the samba web site. I haven't done anything like this with Macs, but your thought to use Netatalk is probably the way to go. An alternative would be to run the mars_nwe netware emulator server and use IPX on the clients to do file and print serving. 3) Applications There are several options here. At the simplest, just share files. More robust, run web server (apache), email (sendmail + pop/imap or qmail), mail lists (majordomo, smartlist, petidomo), news (inn or dnews) plus suitable web-based and client-server apps. Most of the necessary servers come with RedHat (qmail, petidomo are available off the web and dnews is commercial). You can also do databases (msql, mysql, Postgresql) with and without web interfaces. WebEvent is a decent web-based calendar program. I think it's commercial now, there may still be a free version out there. Search for their site at any decent web search server. BSCW is a rather capable "group collaboration" server developed in Europe and freely available. Search for their main distribution site for details.

What happens if you manually "insmod" the network card driver (e.g. "insmod 3c509" or "insmod ne")?

Not Red Hat's fault, it's the fault of the kernel maintainers, because the stock one off of ftp.kernel.org does the same thing, but you'll probably need to compile the NE2000 driver into the kernel to make it work right.

Re: PPP Over ISDN
There are probably a couple of fine points that I've gleaned in working with ISDN vs analog modem. Treating an ISDN modem as an analog modem is fine if you're only interested in 56Kb, i.e. 1B channel. If, like me, you have a 3Com Impact IQ, and would like to avail of features like multi-link PPP and dynamic bandwidth allocation (wherein the data call yields a B channel to incoming / outgoing calls), there are some things to pay attention to, which are in no particular order: 1. Authentication mechanism: must use PAP for MLPP support 2. Modem settings: - explicitly set all modem switches that are relevant - make sure the switch that specifies 56k vs 64k is 64. Otherwise, you get only 1B channel. 3. Dialed number - I found even for a local call, I had to use 1+areacode+number to get proper communication with my ISP. Hope this helps..

Where can I find information on configuring Linux and PPP to use ISDN? I did scan the HOWTOs and did not find anything seemlingly relevant.
