Trouble-shooting apache-perl
So, I recently upgraded apache to apache-perl, and am trying to get to the point where I can start experimenting with HTML::Mason. I've created an httpd.conf by starting with the file /etc/apache/httpd.conf and making changes as recomended in the mod_perl Guide[1]. I've also found a test script under /usr/share/doc/libapache-mod_perl/examples to test the configuration. However, each time I try to execute this test script, Galeon tries to download the script itself, instead of the script's output. According to the mod_perl Guide, this is the sort of behaviour that the ExecCGI option is designed to avoid[2]. I've looked over my httpd.conf and confirmed that Options ExecCGI is set for Location /perl. Does anyone have any ideas for trouble-shooting this, to: 1) ensure the proper httpd.conf is being loaded 2) Apache is using the right directory for the /perl Location 3) Ensure that ExecCGI options are being properly set Thanx, Ian 1) http://perl.apache.org/guide 2) http://perl.apache.org/guide/config.html#_Location_Configuration -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

solved: Set and read time
It was fairly easy when i understood the format of the time string. date -s "2002-05-26 15:00" As i've got many answers which suggests pulling the time from NTP-servers i must add (which i forgot in the original post) that i needed to set the time in a standalone application. Just a few industrial PC:s will be hooked up in a small network all using the eth0-ports. Now there is an eth1-port as well, which i'll use to hook up network cameras. one camera per computer. It is very important that the camera clock and the computers clock are syncronized. So therefore i have set up a NTP server in the computer for the camera to sync with.

newbie: Networking
Hello. I will use two small industrial PC:s in an application. The computers has both two ethernet ports. eth0 and eth1. I got problems when i configured them in /etc/network/interfaces. My first config was to set up both eth0 and eth1 on the same network: 10.0.0.0 at IP:s 10.0.0.50 and 10.0.0.51 for the first computer and 10.0.0.60 and 10.0.0.61 for the second one. My problem seemed to be that the traffic was routed thru eth0 or eth1 randomly after every reboot. As i'm going to hook up work cameras to eth1 on both computers i must somehow configure the interfaces differently to be able to establish any contact with the cameras. Therefore i set up /etc/network/interfaces to let eth1 use a completly different network, which will guaretee me the traffic between the camera and the computer uses eth1 and not eth0. Lets say i use the 192.168.0.0 network for the camera - computer comms. and the 10.0.0.0 network for the computer - computer comms. Now, as the camera has a built in webserver for configuration. It must be accessible from the 10.0.0.0 network as well. I guess that meens i have to route traffic from the 10.0.0.0 network to the 192.168.0.0 network and here is where my knowledge betrays me. I hope you understand what my problem is, beeing a swedish guy trying to describe my problems in english isn't very easy, especially when it comes to technical english. best regards Peterh.

Someone, I hope, who has it running. Issues: OHCI vs UHCI? Is there an issue? Hangs or timeouts? If the system sets hardware, then how to get it reset? Does one need some parameters for the modules? By the way, is it easy to fry a scanner w/ software? I fried my Microtek E6, and I suspectee it was an issue with the SCSI drivers in the kernel. Debian has come far, for sure, in the past few years.

How about eth0eth1 box1: 10.0.1.110.0.0.1 box2: 10.0.1.210.0.0.2 camera1:10.0.0.3 camera2:10.0.0.4 Each interface would have a netmask of 255.255.255.0, and you could, then, plug the 2 cameras, and the 2 eth1 interfaces into a hub/switch. This way, you could have a little 4 node network since both cameras would also be on the 10.0.0.* network. And, both box1 and box2 could view the output from camera1 and camera2. Both eth0 NICs could be plugged into a 2nd hub/switch, and then head to the "main" network.

iptables 2.2.20-idepci
Hi, I have a woody system built from a netinst cdrom i found on the debian site. It sets up with a 2.2.20 kernel and returns uname= 2.2.20-idepci. I am trying to use this as a firewall system. The system appears to have iptables installed (even an init script and 'empty' config, but when I try to do the commands in the howto's (even the modprobes) they seem to fail, there do not appear to be any of the required ip_table modules on the system. Is anyone elso familiar with this 'distro'? do I need to recompile my kerenel to a 2.4 to get the ip_tables stuff, or am I missing something? Any advice as to how to figure out what iptables capabillies I have in this system already would be greatly appreciated. aloha, dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I found that when I had the "auto" entry listed in /etc/interfaces, I got the same results you are describing. Mainly because the network attempts to start and bring up the "auto" interfaces on it's own prior to pcmcia having started. This, I believe, leaves the interface in a malconfigured, but present state. You can confirm this by running "ifdown " followed by "ifup ". That should work, but a simply "ifup " will return an error about the interface already being present or some such. I found if I removed the "auto" entry for the interface from /etc/interfaces, all was well (at least on my laptop and my wife's). The network would start up and not try to bring up my pcmcia interface (eth0). Then when pcmcia started, it would recognize the card and bring it up. Is this possibly a configuration bug that should be reported to the maintainer? -- Jamin W. Collins -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Since you don't have access to it (I presume it's owned by root.root), and you haven't told it about any other output methods (due to the lack of config files I mention above), it dies. Try running with 'mplayer -vo x11 ' to use the X output plugin, or '-vo sdl' to use the SDL plugin. The SDL one seems to be more featureful(is that even a word?) than the X one, plus it (presumably) supports all the targets that SDL does (X, framebuffer, ASCII!). For a full list of all the available output plugins, try 'mplayer -vo help'. If you want the best possible speed (under X, anyhow) tho, you need to use the XVideo X extension. Of course, this requires your video card driver to support it. The X nv driver does not, but the proprietary, buggy, POS nvidia one does.

General Java question
Sometimes when I go to sites that are dependent on Java (like my school's main web-accessible database/portal, and like www.popcap.com for games, etc) the features on that site don't work as they should. Is this because: 1) These sites are using non-standard Java features that only work with a few browsers/OSes? or 2) Java for Linux is buggy/broken/missing features? or 3) Because I don't have my Debian box/Java configured properly? or 4) Some other cause?

General question re: Report generation
At work I need to generate monthly and other occassional reports out of an Oracle database. I started doing this years ago before I knew Linux existed, and use Crystal Reports on Windows to generate those reports. Crystal Reports is a drag-n-drop/point-n-click app that lets you create a "template" for how your report will look, and requires minimal knowledge of SQL (and my knowledge of SQL is indeed minimal -- I'm an "appliance operator" concerning dbms stuff). It uses ODBC to connect to the Oracle database. Question: How is this done in *nix (in general terms)? If I want to do it from my Debian box, will I have to learn Perl/Python/etc (which I'm not opposed to; it's just another steep slope on getting there from here)? Is there a drag-n-drop replacement for Crystal on *nix? Will I need to use some sort of ODBC tool, or is there a more direct route to the data in the database? (I've played some with some *nix-flavored ODBC tools, and didn't have a lot of success, but mostly due to my general ignorance of things Database.) Thanks for any hints!

Well, it really depends on what configuration you have there. You could network the two machines and then FTP the files across, use SAMBA to move them, etc. Or, you could pull the drive from the NT machine and temporarily put it in the Debian system and move the files.

This is an age old question in the Linux world from what I've found. A mail client tends to be a very personal thing. Ask 50 Linux users which mail client they like and why and you'll probably get about 20+ different answers.

I can copy/move these Email files quite readily; but, how to read them with else? As a trivial start: mail -f will read a mail file like this just fine. Of course, even if it is that simple, I am still left with the decision regarding what program[s] is/are the best long term solution for managing a large mass of Emails. What do you think? See other answer(s) for this. I use Mozilla (0.9.9) for all of my email. I move files like this (20 or 30MB, not 2GB yet) around and edit them with a test editor all the time. If this is one big 2GB file I might use Netscape on the NT box to organize them into folders first Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The US plan was to let the Japanese have the northern part of Oz, to a line that passes through where Brisbane is. It was only after major pressure from Great Britain that the USA abandoned the plan of letting the Japanese take AND KEEP about half of Australia and started to support our troops in Papua New Guinea.

Using a database is a good way to practically guarantee that at most one mail client will ever be able to read it, I think. :) Try one of the age-old standard formats instead. Berkeley mbox is dead simple and supported by practically everything, although it has a few problems (see another thread). There's also mh format and maildir. A quick Google search or checking the documentation for various mail clients should give you more information. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Which Package To File This Bug Report Under?
Hello, I'm currently running Debian Unstable... I'd like to report a bug concerning a package but I'm a bit confused as to which package to file it under. First, I don't think apt-get automatically logs its activities... I can find no mention of that in the man page. Correct me if I am wrong though. I'd like the logs so I can put up the exact error messages I got. I attempted to do an apt-get dist-upgrade and everything worked fine until it attempted to: - install libsnmpkit2 (version 0.9-4). Apt quit with an error saying that it was trying to overwrite a .so installed by libsnmpkit1 - So I tried to remove libsnmpkit1 and received another error, which was pconf-detect(0.5-4) depended on libsnmpkit1 -I tried to remove pconf-detect and got another error. Couldn't remove pconf-detect because it depended on libprinterconf0 (0.5-4) which depended on libsnmpkit2 which wasn't installed yet I tried using apt-get -f install. No dice. This appears to be the dependency sequence: pconf-detect

I have friends who are outside my network, but most have windows boxes. If someone would volunteer to check it for me, I would be much appreciative. sandm.hn.org will get my ip address.
