:#: isn;t the KDE desktop /home/user/Desktop or is that some obscure freak dynamic thing that points to /home/user/.kde3.1:#:/.desktop ? I threw that .kde3.1 in just to add a little more confusion :#:

[paul@morpheus paul]$ ls /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/ DynamicVhosts.conf Vhosts.conf VirtualHomePages.conf [paul@morpheus paul]$ [paul@morpheus paul]$ cat /etc/httpd/conf/vhost ~~~~~ I've shortened this to show only the good bits ~~~~ NameVirtualHost 202.27.218.97 <VirtualHost 202.27.218.97> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/loudas.com ServerName loudas.com ServerAlias www.loudas.com CustomLog logs/loudas.com-access_log combined </VirtualHost> also you might need to look at the common file [paul@morpheus paul]$ cat /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf ~~~~~~~ this is also shortened for the sake of this post ~~~~~ <Directory /var/www/html/loudas.com> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> if you change the default directory (which you have to /var/www/calandria ) then you will need to add something like the above to your commonhttpd.conf file

I think what hes asking is how do you change /home/user/Desktop to /some/other/dir the easy way (although I'm not sure it would work) is to link /home/user/Desktop to another dir mv /home/user/Desktop /home/user/Desktop.old/ ln -s /this/is/my/dir /home/user/Desktop chown user.user /this/is/my/dir I can't see anywhere in KDE to change it any other way :?

I think this is the ONLY option :( shockwave and director do not have linux plugins

:#: I got them printed out too

as far as I know flash is the ONLY macromedia plugin available to linux :(

the default install of apache uses /var/www so it should have been created in /etc/http/conf/vhost/Vhost.conf you will se how virtual hosting works, its pretty well documented. You created /var/www ? it should already exist after apache installation. you're right ... the webroot is /var/www/html but apache refers to it as / because it is the webroot (read: the apache root directory)

as far as I am aware (I haven't actually tried it) it doesn't have *Control Center* But I will give it a go, and probabl give it some support, I am already a member of the mailing lists ...... But its one more for NZ :#: ... cool 8)

I agreee entirely. I've had a shorewall firewall since December, and have never quite figured out why so many people complain about it. the docs are fantastic, and written for people that have never build a firewall before. I guess MottS is right :

see my post above about style tags ... Mozilla is "Standards compliant" .... which means when it reads a tag like <font> it will quite likely ignore it, because <font> is not a valid tag. instead do some reading about CSS (cascading style sheets) ... http://www.w3.org is a great source of information. just take a look at some of the cool things you can do with CSS http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.0/demos.html this has to be the coolest that I've seen (works in mozilla clients only ... Mozilla, Phoenix, galeon, etc etc ) http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.0/demos/eagle-sun.html :#:

open up an xterm su - password: ********* mozilla then install your plugins

http://xpde.com/index.php its a sad sad day in linux :P

Oh well :) And yeah i will install 9.1rc1 on my second computer tonight. so whats it like then????

yeah I had the same problem ..... .this is what i did I found an older version in rpm, and installed that (this sets up all the links and stuff that are Mandrake specific) then I got then new version for mysql.com, and it installed fine .... go figure. this was on 8.2 with gcc 2.96 but I suspect that it might work on 9.x the same

do you mean an md5sum? md5sum filename

cd /usr/lib/mozilla1.*/plugins ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.s . then restart mozilla ... java should work

johnnyv is roght the solution: from a command line chkconfig --add mysql

why mark as extended ??? what the advantage? I have 2 drives drive 1: 2x primary (/boot swap) 3x Extedend (/ /var/log /tmp) drive 2: 1x primary (/home) all use ReiserFS ... if you have problems booting with ReiserFS on /boot then add ,notail, to /etc/fstab ... but Mandrake is pretty good and normally does all this for you.

8) yeah baby !!! vi rocks !!!!

go looking for an app called fluxkeys .. .that'll do what you want

i reckon the more the better .... 786Mb ram, with 500Mb swap paul@trinity paul $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 774476 770040 4436 0 35316 618436 -/+ buffers/cache: 116288 658188 Swap: 498004 312 497692

scoopy: postfix runs in a *kind of* chrooted environment Take a look at /var/spool/postfix there are some insteresting things there like: /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf this why postfix was using an old IP address. postfix had not been updated and therefore was using your old network settings.

1. man chkconfig example: chkconfig -del samba 2. huh? you want to mount samba shares over the lan ??? nope does use IPTables... IPTables are TCP/IP packet sniffer, they don't control anything on your computer. What they do is check each and every packet that comes in to computer (or goes from your computer, or passes through you computer) if you want to turn off servers (example: pop3) you first of all shutdown your pop3 server bash $ /etc/init.d/postfix stop if you want to make sure that nobody can hack into your box through port 110 (thats the port pop3 uses) then you would block 110 with IPTables REJECT tcp -- anywhere my.machine.name state NEW tcp dpt:110 or something like that anyway :-)
