Re: [eug-lug].PHP FILES

2003-10-13 Thread Ben Barrett
In my experience, web *browsers* will show the source of .php files, if
viewed directly.  What you want is apache, the webserver; then put the
.php file(s) into your webroot, prolly /var/www/html/ and then start
apache and point your browser to http://localhost/coolfile.php and
you're golden, so long as the .php file doesn't need anything else.

To be precise, PHP is a programming language, which is generally
compiled and run within a webserver, and is in-line with and/or outputs
HTML for the client who is browsing it.  Sometimes they are complex and
use a database, for example, so the PHP file you're interested in might
require more, server-side, than you're prepared to provide.

If you copied the output of a page from some site, and saved it as
somefile.php, you probably actually have the HTML output from that
server, and can view it *without* running a webserver like apache, just
point your browser to file://tmp/or/whatever/somefile.php or rename the
file to .html and try that, if you have a problem.  If you fancy saving
[portions of] web pages you visit, I can suggest using mozilla, then
selecting from the menu, File - Edit Page, whereupon you can cut out
undesirable bits and resave the page as you like.

It sounds like you're new to such things, as play is not usually
terminology associated with .php files.  If you mean some different kind
of .php file, then sorry for this bother!  Otherwise, you might want to
be perusing http://tldp.org -- the howto's and faq's are superb!

hope this helps, and enjoy playing around,

   Ben

I just checked out the site... pretty cool.

The pc larry mentions is a 1.3 ghz amd duron (not 1.8, although it does
kind of look like an 8 not a 3.

heres the specs on the Linare PC:
1.3 GHz AMD Processor
  128 MB RAM
  30 GB Hard disk
  Mouse
  Keyboard
  Speakers
  Ethernet Interface

Walmart has been selling linux pc's also (online only, dont bother
walking in...)

Here are their $199 computer specs:

Sysmar417 (also sysmar550 is simular)
AMD Duron 1.2 GHz processor with 3DNow! technology 
200 MHz frontside bus
128 MB SDRAM, expandable to 1 GB
133 MHz memory speed
20 GB Ultra-DMA hard drive, 5400 rpm (total accessible capacity varies
depending on operating environment)
52x CD-ROM drive 
Integrated video with up to 8 MB shared video memory
Integrated AC97 Soft Audio
Integrated 10/100 Ethernet connection

They seem about comparable, the walmart ones come with a cdrom, but
smaller hard disk.

Both come with speakers, mouse, keyboard, and linux installed. 
I also noticed that walmart now sells computers with SuSE installed too!

Maybe you can add on to this webmin module:

http://www.niemueller.de/webmin/modules/iptables/
(it works as an rc-script...)

or roll your own:

http://webmin.com/modules.html

I noticed webmin just won a popularity contest over at Linux Journal;
I think it will really help bring linux to the desktop and home
environments, it is so easily adaptable I think we'd be seeing variants
of it in consumer products, what think you of that?  I know each company
already has their own developed (and in development) but at some point,
a new company will simply do a serious QA round on their adaption of it
in order to save money in development and maintenance.  

As evidence, I remind you of the recently-/.'ed DreamBox:

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/10/10/1926202mode=thread

which points to http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT7482684956.html

 PHP is a scripting language (similar to perl) most widely used to
 create dynamic web pages, not an audio or video format.  Perhaps I'm
 misunderstanding the question though.

These were files I downloaded from http://calabashmusic.com/ to use as
mp3 on my Neuros player and they came as .php files. This is the prompt
response I received after contacting Calabash;

The problem is that we protect our MP3s with a PHP script.  So you make
a request to file.php?ID=123 and we pull the mp3 which corresponds to id
123 if you are permitted to download it.  This gets streamed to the
browser.  On all major MAC and PC browsers, (NS, IE, Opera), this works
fine.  I'll try to debug your problem on my redhat box, but I need to
know what browser you are using.  In the mean time, you should just be
able to rename the files to .mp3 instead of .php and they should play
just fine.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience, these browser / OS wars
make us developers toss and turn at night.  But we are committed to
making the site accessible to as many people as possible.

I've tried mv with this error message and the --help still confuses me;

2003-10-13 Thread Linux Rocks !
There was another aspect I didnt mention...
When you have a problem with your comptuer, you cant call up tech support 
(unless you've bought a support contract with one of the few linux support 
companies), but when you call MS or manufacturer support, they just waste 
your time anyway. Spend an hour on hold, then when you do get someone, they 
make you do a bunch of things that often dont help...
With linux, There is a plethora of support (mainly internet related however), 
local LUG's, mailing lists, newsgroups, IRC, websites (google is your 
friend!) I often resolve small issues in less than one minute from a simple 
web search.
Note: several years ago (when finishing my degree in user support) We were 
provided with a very interesting statistic (this was regarding to windows 
95/98): 40% of tech support calls were resolved with Reboot your computer.
just a guess, but now its probably restore settings from a few days ago. 

Support under linux may be unoficial, and rather adhoc, but Ive noticed that 
its much more effective.

I used to work for Chris, and seeing this quote was somewhat of a

They've been a BSDi shop forever, and were migrating to Sun

 brought in for).  They had an NT server they'd inherited from
 acquiring an ISP, and Chris wasn't in any hurry to either secure
 it or get rid of it.

Chris is no Open Source zealot; he's a hard-headed businessman
 who looks at costs and benefits and makes decisions accordingly.
 Their lead engineer at the time had just started learning Linux
 and had lots of questions for me.  They inherited another
 engineer when they acquired Continet, and in the one
 conversation I had with him he seemed to very much know what

It was a thrill to see Chris' quote in InternetWeek.  It's
especially good to know that he's finally getting away from 'Doze

In windows this works, but not with unix because of some subtleties.  It
is the shell and not the mv program that interprets the asterisks.  In
win/dos the shell is command.com or cmd.exe.  The 'move' command gets a
file mask *.php and recognizes that it needs to treat it as a wild card.

In unix, you are probably using bash as a shell.  The asterisks are
translated before it is passed to the mv command.  

In dos move sees two arguments *.php and *.mp3.  In unix mv sees as
many arguments as there are files.  Say you have a.php, b.php, c.php and
alpha.mp3.  
$ mv *.php *.mp3 
gives mv these arguments: a.php b.php c.php alpha.mp3
If there are only a.php, b.php and c.php, mv sees: a.php b.php c.php
*.mp3

Use the rename command which is usually distribution specific.  On some
distros it is a C binary.  On others it is a perl script (debian).  Or
do it yourself (however this won't work if there is a file with a space
in the name):

for i in *.php ; do mv `basename $i .php` $i.mp3 ; done

This command will do what you want, if your Linux distribution has the

rename .php .mp3 *.php

To learn more about the rename command, you can look at its manual page
or its info page.

man rename
info rename

(Hey, *I* didn't know abut the rename command until just now.  I was

snmpv3 does offer authentication, and there are two RFC's for the 
security model
RFC 3414  RFC 3415

and it's not such a crazy idea to be gathering information about hosts 
current state
via snmp. Setting variables that way would (as i said) be a security 
incident waiting to happen.

At least from what I've been reading, a system user with limited powers 
can be granted read-access
to the MIB and can report that to network clients using network access 
controls to limit who can and can't
see things.

The canonical way to do this appears to be using private address space 
to create a local management domain
(this is assuming you are using correct egress filtering...)

Would this be a good application for an SSL VPN solution? I might be 
less twitchy about it if everything were encrypted
as well as being on a private address segment.

[eug-lug]hard drive deal at Office Depot

2003-10-13 Thread Bob Miller
I was in Office Depot yesterday, and they have 160 Gb Maxtor hard
drives on sale for $99.  That's 62 cents a gigabyte.  These are 7200
RPM, 8 MB cache drives, sorry I don't remember the exact number.

That looks like a good price to me, but I don't currently need any
more disk space.  Someone here might like to take advantage, though...

[eug-lug]From Slashdot - Samba beats Win2003 at file serving

2003-10-13 Thread Jason
Sorry,

I know most if not all read slashdot regularly, but
this one really got me. From sd:

Tests by IT Week Labs  show the latest version of the
open-source Samba file and print server software is
2.5 times faster than Windows Server 2003 in the same
role.  The news comes as many firms are grappling with
the consequences of Microsoft ending support for NT4,
coupled with uncertainty about when Microsoft will
next update Windows. The performance difference
between Windows Server 2003 and Samba 3 has increased
dramatically compared with Samba 2 and Windows 2000
Server.

A link to the story:

This is pretty awesome if you ask me.

I didn't see any rebate notices, but I might have missed that.

It's true; our feed sucks, or rather, doesn't.
We've ordered a better feed; we hope to have it deployed by the end of
this week.  I've missed a lot of traffic on my favored groups too.

Mind you, I've had days when that would seem like a reasonable
