Kick The Donkey

Upon looking deeper, I've figured out that I need to be using the OCI8 extension. Same problem, though. I still can't find it anywhere.

I'm trying to make an oracle connection from php under mandrake 10.0 (PHP 4.3.4 and Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer 2.0.48). When I try to use the Oracle functions, I get Call to undefined function. Looking at my phpinfo page, I see that the oracle extensions are not installed. However, I can't find a php-oracle rpm package. I really, really don't want to have to compile PHP. Any ideas?

Shouldn't icons actually reflect the type of program that is launching? Most of these in no way tel me that I'm going to be launching a web browser...

Its port 25. And no, they are not blocking it. I specifically switched to this provider because they don't block port 25.

I'm trying to setup a mail server (pop or imap). I'm on a cable modem using DHCP, so I'm using noip.com to get a host name (http://holycow.sytes.net). In noip.com, I've also setup a mx record to point to holycow.sytes.net. I can send mail all day long. I just can't recieve anything. I'm pretty sure I have imapd setup correctly (at least, squirrelmail seems to thinks so). Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Help! This is something that has been bothering me for a while. I created a launch script for ROX, and put it in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions. Then I set the permissions to 755, and owner:group to root:root (just like every other launch script in that dir). Now, I can logout, get to gdm, and pick ROX from the sessions list. But, if I reboot, the permissions on the ROX script get changed to 655. ROX then disappears from the sessions list in gdm (because its not executable). Anyone have any idea what I'm missing here? Thanks,
