[SLUG] sql2tinydns
Hi All, I am trying to setup sql2tinydns and I am having some drama's. I have installed the username and database ok into my SQL server, and I have imported the schema ok also (i think, at least I didn't get any errors). However when I try and bring up the webpage I am getting the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/admin/sql2dns/includes/db.inc.php on line 50 now logic would tell me to have a look at line 50 in that php file which has: # make the connection $link = mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpwd) or die (Could not connect); mysql_select_db($db, $link) or die(Could not select database); I thought maybe it doesn't like the line break on the line before and joined them, however I still got the same error and changed it back. Has anyone used sql2tinydns and had similar issues? or anyone have an idea? Any help would be appreciated. Adam. PS. Please dont ask why I am using 'that tinydns sh*te'...lets just say I dont have the option. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Multi-page tiff (again)
Hi there again, My last submitted convert script works OK for small tifs by converting them to PDFs however, for large ones (or perhaps non-standard ones who knows) it wrecks my CPU and forces a reboot. I have a 2Mb tiff that does this every time. So FWIW, here is an alternative, its called tiffsplit. mkdir ~/tmptif rm -f ~/tmptif/* tiffsplit $1 ~/tmptif/prefix kuickshow ~/tmptif This is also sub-optimal but works. It creates the individual pages as seperate images which kuickshow was able to view in preview or fullscreen mode. Not too bad. Suboptimal because it would be better to re-combine them to PDF (anyone?) so that they could be printed as one and sent to others as a PDF. Update solved it: cd ~/tmptif tiff2ps * prefix.ps ps2pdf prefix.ps xpdf prefix.pdf This views it as a PDF successfully. I guess these tools are better with tiff files than the ImageMagick convert tool? BTW http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/ This site was helpful but in the end all of the non-commercial image viewers (that I could actually install) failed to do the job.

[SLUG] Web sever locally unaccessible.
Hi Sluggers, I am a linux newbie. Just got an ADSL connection and already setup a local network with a linux server and MS workstations. I have successfully set up a web server on the same linux server. My problem is this. I have three web sites running in my server using virtual hosts. I have a Dlink DSL 504 router. I am unable to see the web pages from the local network. I can only see the default page with the local IP address. When ever I use the www.mydomain.com.au, it says connection refused. How can I change this situation, so that I can also view the pages locally? Thanks in advance. pathman -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Web sever locally unaccessible.
Check out your virtual hosts settings in apache and/or just address it on your local machine directly via its ip address. You could also put an entry in your hosts file with the local ip address range. Finally, is your web server definately running? HTH Stu Myuran Pathmanathan wrote: Hi Sluggers, I am a linux newbie.

Smells to me like the router isn't doing it's NAT job properly. Let me describe what I think your network is: The DSL line has a single public IP address assigned. The 504 is configured to NAT onto that address, and to port forward 80 to the private IP'd linux box. The DNS for your VHosted domains is the public IP. If this is the case, you need to get the 504 to NAT the source IP for web requests to the public IP to the private address of the router if the source address is your local network, because what will happen otherwise is that the webserver will see a local source address and send it straight back (as itself), which will confuse the hell out of the requesting machine, because it's talking to public IP not private IP. How to do this mapping on a 504 I have no idea, because my routers are Linux boxes. I could give you IPTables rules to do it, but that wouldn't help. Of course, if your network setup is different, then this is all bollocks. In which case, more network description would be desirable. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Re: [plug] sql2tinydns
Cheers for your replies, I have now got sql2dns up and running, however
when I try to add a new domain I am getting the following error:
Insert failed: Unknown column 'rr_fqdn' in 'field list'
and when I try and 'preview data file changes' I get:
Failed to query for data
According to the install file, you need to make the tiny-dns data file
writable by the web server, which I have done by changing the owener and
group to www-data. I have then tried logging with the user www-data and
make changes with the data file, and it works no problems.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Adam.

[SLUG] Statement of Attainment in Linux
Educational Allies and other dudes, A few TAFE people had a meeting yesterday in Sydney's west---we have launched the process to creating some Linux Statement of Attainment courses. I think I'm right in saying these will be the first courses in Australia to offer an inexpensive ($150) open entry Linux specific qualification. They formalize the courses we have had running at Granville TAFE Electrical Engineering Dept. for a number of years. For your comment The courses: Statement of Attainment in Linux Subjects: o Occupational Health and Safety 18 hours Is this necessary? Doable by project work or RPL o Introduction to Linux (72 hours) Easy Introduction for non technical people. 80% GUI 20% basic command line. Moms and Pops course. o Linux and MS Windows network Integration (72 hours) Easy Introduction to networking. 100% GUI Install and network a mix of OSs. Show how nearly everything that you can do with Linux can be done with a legacy commercial system. o Running Linux (72 hours) Introduction to Linux for computer literate people. Aimed at people studying Computer Science at other institutions, administrators of legacy commercial systems or any all those who have been running Linux somewhere and would like to fill in the gaps in their knowledge. o LAMP (72 hours) --- proposal only at this time For Linux literate people. Set up and configure Apache. Install and use a free database. Learn Perl / PHP / Python and create a Website with these tools. Flexable delivery roject based course? o TBA 72 hours Your idea goes here. Statement of Attainment in LPI Certification Level 1 o LPIC 101 Exam Preparation (72 hours) Entry requirement: Completed Running Linux or equiv. or RPL or LPIC 102 Exam Preparation This subject follows the detailed objectives published by LPI for exam LPIC 101. o LPIC 102 Exam Preparation (72 hours) Entry requirement: Completed Running Linux or equiv. or RPL or LPIC 101 Exam Preparation This subject follows the detailed objectives published by LPI for exam LPIC 102.

RE: [SLUG] mv ---.dat foo.dat
To: Michael Kraus [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 % mv ./---.dat foo.dat Worth a try, i guess. The readline() call stops interpreting command line options after it sees a -- on it's own. So you can do: mv -- ---.dat foo.dat Then the ---.dat will be interpreted as a filename, not as an option. (Now if only I could remember where that was documented, I could point you to the documentation).

Flash!, Linux! please, how do you marry the two? Flash, DreamWeaver and a networked foxpro database remain my obstacles to a 100% Linux set up.
