Almost everything looks good, except in the admodules portion there is: <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4> </IfDefine> when it should be: <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4> AddModule mod_php4.c </IfDefine> farther down near the bottom you will see: Include conf/addon-modules/php.conf check in that file it is pointing to to make sure it has the AddType for php files, if it does you should be ready to go. Restart apache, and it should work. I noticed a simmular thing happens for SSL the module is being loaded but not added, though I know next to nothing about setting up SSL besides telling the mandrake installer to install it at the initial install

can you get any pages at all? Non php ones that is. and as long as you dont have anything top secret maybe if I could look at your httpd.conf file whether it be by email or whatever brad at brwebdesign.com if you want to use email for that

http://localhost/phpbb/index.php work? it may not be set up to use index.php as an index page. I hope you dont mind, all I can do is guess at this point, and it may take several suggestions to get anywhere

when you restart apache does anything apear in the error_log not totally sure where it will be on your system, but I have seen it in /usr/share/apache/logs though it might be stored somewhere else, should be called error_log any errors should be reported there. if those entries were not in there before that definatly explains why it was not working, but the question now is why is it still not working. Perhaps unistalling and reinstalling the rpm?

What you can do is make a copy, rename that httpd.bak then you are free to play with the other. Those lines are needed, you should be able to safly paste them in put the <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4> LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so </IfDefine> at the bottom of the load modules part, then put: <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4> AddModule mod_php4.c </IfDefine> at the bottom of the AssModule part. Finally add: <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> pretty much anywhere (that is not inside any of the tags <anything></anything>), but I would throw it at the bottom and should be fine. Restart apache. php should now be working. provided it is installed of course. If apache doesnt start or you get 500 errors, you can restore the old httpd.conf and restart again and things should be fine (and try something else)

Hi, Here are a few things save a file called phpinfo.php to /var/www/html with this in it: <?php phpinfo(); ?> hopefully you should get a screen of php related config. If yo uare still getting text and the php module is installed it is often a mime type issue. You need to tell apache to parse php file with php. I just had a look in my mandrake 9 httpd.conf and they do it an interesting way by including files. Search the httpd.conf file for every mention of php, you should something aproximatly like this this: <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4> LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so </IfDefine> then farther down: <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4> AddModule mod_php4.c </IfDefine> now finally the mime type has to be dealt with. for mandrake 9, as I said they did it interesting, sure made the httpd.conf file less cluttered though, the included this file: /etc/httpd/conf/addon-modules/php.conf which has the stuff to set the mime types which was: <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> the AddType bit is very important, without it apache will treat the php files as text files and send them straight to the browser

You might be better off getting the source from php.net and compiling it yourself to be sure. I have no idea of the compatablity http://www.php.net/downloads.php I would recomend going with php 2.2.3 as it is in my opinion much better with access to more functions and better security. though there is a patch there to fix the problem you speak of I think. There should be instructions for compiling in the zip :)

9.0 boots to a fully useable desktop (fluxbox though) in about 45 seconds. XP shows its ugly head in about 20-30 seconds but is not useable for about 1 minute after that. as for usable speed it is quite fast, I dont know if it is faster then 8.2. This is on a 1.4GHz T-Bird with 320MB RAM

Thanks for the responces so far. I am still trying to use du -h it is recursive so I am assuming I can from /usr I can pick out some large files. My plan is to try and use grep to pull out files that are sized in the MB as most of the files are under that. My main problem is figuring out a reg ex to do that. I am thinking 3 didgits and a M would be enough to narrow it down. I can do minor regex for scripting though I am unsure of the syntax for grep du -h | grep [0-9]{3}M or something like that? Thanks :) The search continues....

Ok on a server experianced a DOS attack now its /usr dir is full (all 1.9 Gigs filled). I have been trying to find what the problem Now I have being using: du -h to try and find what is filling it up. I have already checked and emptied the logs, no luck Everything is running like sluge until I can get this figured out.

Ok there is one that is on the CD proftpd. Install that... Then go into the control panel under services and make sure it is running and then also check the firewall under security (if you are running shorwwall) to make sure the firewall is blocking. Once that is running try one of the ftp clients and use your username and password. Hope taht helps

Ok, I have a guy here that is having some problems with XFree86 on redhat 7.2. He wants to use redhat 7.2 as it is the same as the webserver so he can play with it with a simular envinronment. Ok as soon as x tries to start it immediatly crashes with I had the same problem with beta 2 of mandrake 9 and running the installer again and choosing XFree86 3.3.6 fixed that. But I guess the redhat install doesnt allow for choice in that regard (I dont have access to machiene we are on opposite coasts) I am thinking maybe dropping a version might fix it, but how can this be done from the command line? can you simply type: rpm -ivh /thefiles.. and have it work? You might be able to get more detailed description of what is going on here: http://llamasery.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=765 You may need to scroll down a bit to get to the problem his first one was resolved Thanks guys, he is close to using linux dont want to loose one back to redmond lol

does your host allow .htaccess ? If so you can use .htaccess to make the mimetype yourself I think AddType text/css css

I have been using Sylpheed-Claws with out a problem for a bit over a week and am liking it myself. Though I have not put it through real heavy use.

One of my profs love to send pdf's for the assignment questions and this is how I do it. Open it in kGhostView and print to file (post script). You can then open that with netscape plugin and that will be able to print from that viewer just fine. May not be the best or easiest way but it works for me Crap I just noticed that you said for win 98. Cannot Adobe Acrobat print it?

Perhaps set a different mirror because mine is working ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Li...pdates/9.0/RPMS is the mirror I am using

Yeah I spent a few hours with different combinations and had trouble turning up anything recent, as in the past 2 years. Though it was nice reading some of the predictions come true :) and some of the things that Microsoft were saying that linux is not a threat. Now they have acknowleged it at least. If market share is growing I hope it is not taking away from Mac but takes away from windows, as I suspect it is.

I dont think it matters what you are logged in when you run the script as the script probably runs as nobody when accessed through the browser. Instead of using grant and grant all, you can also try inserting it with mySQL insert syntax. which you can find examples of here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Adding_users.html I should add the users for mysql are separate from the regular users so it should not matter what group etc it belongs, you actually do not have to create the user in that way. All this user is a user for mysql that is it. Should also probably add I have only added users in this way twice so I am not super experianced in it, I normally do it online with things like C-Panel

out of curiosity try running this: (save as whatever.php) <?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost','mryan','password') OR die(mysql_error()); $mysql_select_db('mub',$link) OR die(mysql_error()); ?> I dont know how descriptice phpBB errors are, that should tell you more if your user can actually connect, or if it is the db not being selected

I often debate the feasability of a linux solution. One of the arguments I get is that no one uses linux anyway. I know the server share is somewhere around a third, but what is the desktop market share? I have heard anywhere from .2-4% which is quite a range. I have also heard that it is to pass Mac sometime next year. I understand it is hard to get a number as like the Linux counter site said that so many people download it rather then purchase linux it is hard to pin a number on it. Just curious is all (and looking for ammo ;))

Found the solution I changed the command to esdplay instead of play which removed the conflict

It uses the play command to make the sounds which I can change, I just dont know what to change it to. Is there another program I can use to play the sounds? And what is a consol sound? As a temporary mesure I can kill te sound entirely, I just get busy and miss messages all the time. Thsnks for the help

I am having problems with a conflict with amsn and xmms. When I have a song playing and I recieve a message or someone signs in amsn locks up until I either pause the song or the song finishes and then I recieve all events at once. As in I was listening to unforgiven by Metallica and at the end it turns out I had a bunch of people messanging me and I recieved around 50+ sound events all at once. Quite an interesting effect. I do not have this problem with kde, though I have recently switched to fluxbox and now the problem has come up. I have tried running with and without soundwrapper on both amsn and xmms, same thing. I would switch back to Everybuddy but I need the file transfers from people I work with/for. I got tired of them telling me to switch to windows to use MSN when for the 100th time they tried to send me a file over msn and I did not know

I have the ks75a board with SIS 7012 and sound was properly functional with a fresh install. It wasnt for mandrake 8.2
