Actually, it would be ifcfg-devicename.

Thanks John. Unbelievable how poor my collected documentation is. Any chance you could point me to a reference redhat admin manual? - Original Message - From: John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 1:28 PM Subject: Re: [OFF-TOPIC] Re: Pushing Apache/Tomcat to prod env Actually, it would be ifcfg-devicename.

Re: [OFF-TOPIC] Re: Pushing Apache/Tomcat to prod env
No, not really. I learned by getting burned. I'm sure some sort of Red Hat Unleashed book or similar would have this information, as well as the Linux HOWTO. If the box is in a remote location, and the NIC config is screwed up, there are only three options: 1) a remote tech fixes it, 2) they ship it back to you, you fix it and ship it back, and 3) you go to the box and fix it. There is online help for ifconfig: man ifconfig (obviously) Or, as already suggested, you can put the config information into /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifcfg-INTERFACE_NAME. So, for example, on a Compaq Proliant, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=XXX.XXX.XXX.255 IPADDR=XXX.XXX.XXX.24 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=XXX.XXX.XXX.0 ONBOOT=yes HTH John On Fri, 13 Jun 2003 14:43:58 -0500, David Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks John.
