I have never had to set an include path manually in php.ini. I think as long as you use a relative path to the included file, it should find the file without any problems. <?php include("../foo.php"); ?> Can you post the code in question?

You have to add a compiler flag in order to get the Math stuff to work. Try this gcc -lm and see if that will work. Most ide's have a section where you can add any flags that you need for compiling.

If you can't post a link, can you post more of the code then. Some more of the surrounding code both before and after would be very helpful.

Dumb question, but if this is for a business, would it not make more sense to setup Mandrake 9.2 on a test machine first? Then you can slowly migrate the data from the server over to the test machine and try things out. Once you have everything up and running and stable on the test move it over to be the server and the old server then becomes the new test machine. Personally, I would think it insanity and suicide to migrate a mission critical server to a new OS (or even an upgraded OS) without first testing it out on another comparable computer. At the very least, use partition image (do a search around the forum and you will find a ton of links and threads about this app) and backup the system before you make the change. At least that way, if something doesn't work that you can't fix, at least you have a way of returning back to a system that does work. For Samba, you will need to backup at least the following two files: smb.conf smbpasswd You may also need to backup smbusers. All of these files are usually stored in /etc/samba/ I am not sure what you need to back for the other apps.

Very cool, thanks for the choices Mysti. I personally like the semiswirl one.

+1 for pan.

Thanks for the link, it helps a lot.

Okay, dumb question, how do I do this? I have never been able to figure out how to start a linux distribution in another run level. I downloaded Knoppix and am running it (from the cd) on an old PIII - 450Mhz computer with 192 megs of ram. It works incredibly well. It truely is amazing how it is able to configure everything when it starts up. I have Red Hat running on this machine and I have been unable to get XFree to recognize any refresh rate higher then 60Hz. Knoppix started up and I have a nice 1024x768 resolution at 75Hz. So how does Knoppix get this right when Red Hat can't.

As far as I understand things, Knoppix is a Debian based distro, correct? If this is true, then should it not be possible to install Knoppix onto a computer, run an apt-get and upgrade/update to a full install of Debian? I have two small questions though: 1. Can Knoppix actually be installed onto a hard drive? 2. Does knoppix include a full install of apt? Has anyone done this before?

Setting up a FTP server is not exactly what I would call easy. Expecially one that must meet he requirements that you have listed. (BTW, you are sure your ISP doesn't block ftp and other well known ports?) The easiest way of going about setting a ftp server is by using webmin. First though, you need to make sure that both proftp and webmin are installed and running. In order to do this follow the line of clicks below KMenu -> Configuration -> Mandrake Control Centre (or COnfigure your Computer) -> System -> DrakXServices Then simply scan down the list presented and see if proftpd and webmin are running. If they are, proceeed to the next paragraph, if not you must install both and set them up to run. (start a new thread for how to do this) If they are running then open a web browser and use the link below https://localhost:10000 This should open webmin in the browser. Login as root and find the proftp module. From here you are going to need to be familiar with proftp in order to make anything work. So, here is a link to a quick little tutorial on it: http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Adminis...rver/page1.html Hope that helps

the 'find' command piped through to the processing command may be able to accomplish this. Something like $ find . -name * | cat Or some variation thereof may do what you need. There are several switches for find that will limit it to only looking at regular files and it acts recursively by nature so therefore, will process all files below the directory you specify. Otherwise, perl or ruby or python may be the next best solution for what you are looking for.

Interesting software. I like the graphical interface. I wonder if anyone has built a gkrellm plugin that interfaces with ethereal and provides a nice little graphic thingy?

That means you have a problem with the configuration for X. When you did the install, did you check the configuration for both your video card and your monitor? What video card, monitor, motherboard, drivers, etc are you running?

Theortically, I think there is a way of doing that, however, if you want to keep them long term then you need to put them into the .bashrc or .profile file. This should ensure that they are loaded each time you log in.

Can you detail exactly what you did to get the 2.6 kernel up and running? There have been a few other people try and not succeed, so I would like to hear what you did. Also, what version of Linux are you running, system specs, hardware, etc. Anything relating to making 2.6 work on your system.

This is probably your best bet http://www.thinkgeek.com/ And it is located in the States.

Hey, I just bought and installed a wireless access point (smc ez-connect 2655W) and I have turned on wep and mac filtering. However, I have noticed at times that people seem to be connecting to it. (according to the little blinking lights on top of it) What I am wondering is this: is there any software that will allow me to monitor the access point and see if anyone else besides me is accessing it? I also have a smoothwall router/firewall that the access point is behind, so software that allows me to see how many computer (or how many IP addresses) are connected to the router would work as well. thanks

Losing the menu options in KDE when you upgrade has been a common problem. I had it as well when I updated. To fix it, all you need to do is to run the menu thingy, menuconfi, or something like that. Do a search for dissapearing menu items and you should find info about what to do when it happens.

Much easier way is to simply run # lilo -u as root. Works everytime.

Cool, congrats on getting it all working. The install hanging like that is a little weird, but hey, if it works, who cares. The install that I used was 9.2 from the mandrake club bittorrent ISO's. Although, with all the updates, it should now be the same as the general public ISO's.

Yep, install java and all your problems will go away. Better nights sleep, more satisfying sex, and never have to worry about your weight again. :unsure: Actually, just follow this link and it should give you all the directions you need for installing java. http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=4548

I have been getting the same thing. And yes, I have used easy urpmi and every site that I try I keep getting an error that the contrib list is invalid. I have had to remove my contrib source all together. This is on a Mandrake 9.2 install using the mandrake 9.2 settings with easy urpmi. Anyone else getting this?

Not completely sure why Home is set to browseable=no. I will have to look that one up. As for formatting linux partitions, when you run the installer for 9.2, you will be given this option. Hope the new install works out better for you. Ya, the encrypted password thing can really get ya. If that is not set to yes, then nothing you ever do will work with winNT, 2000, XP passwords.

Can't quite remember the size, but here are some approximate for what I use 2-3G - / 10G - /home 5G - /usr 1G - /var/www 30G - /Share 768M - /swap I think that is all that I have, not sure though

Um... Yes, No, Perhaps, Sure, well maybe not.... :D All I can say is that I did a clean install of 9.2 from 9.1 and with the exception of a few small problems everything worked perfectly. (I had a small issue with Samba)
