[techtalk] cheap shell/web accounts?

1999-01-03 Thread srl

so, i'm looking for a new shell access provider. 

I've taken a gander at he.net, and they seem okay, but i thought i'd put
this one out there. Where can I find any/all of the following in a shell
account for cheap, preferably under $15/mo?

-virtual domain hosting for a smallish personal site
-mySQL
-PHP
-mod_perl
-gcc/g++/javac (not essential, but would be nice)
-support for Zope, either user-installed or system-installed, in place of
 Apache on port 80
-a few mailboxes- i prefer IMAP, but POP3 will do

For some of the above listed, check out http://www.hostway.com/

You can get a shell account (you can use ssh or telnet to access it)
with perl, mySQL, virtual domain, and POP3 hosted on Linux/Apache for
less than $15 per month.  I know you get pine, lynx and anonymous FTP
-- there may be more but that is all that I use on that account.

I've used them for over a year now and have been happy with the service.

I use http://www.jumpline.com for hosting and their service/access is great.
I believe they support most of what you are looking for. :)

Re: [techtalk] pppd problems using kppp/RH6.0

1999-01-03 Thread Becky L. Norum

Thanks for the reply, Nils.

I think I know what the problem is.  I have set up an ethernet card on the
computer because we have a network printer.  BUT, to connect to the
internet, I use a modem.  So, I think that when I try to connect to my
provider, the provider gets confused as to what ip address to use, even
though I have set dynamic ip addressing in the ppp settings.

Can someone point me in the direction of how to set up two different
network settings, one for use with the printer and one for use with the
modem?  I've scanned a number of FAQs but maybe I'm just missing
something.. like a keyword to look for.

TIA,

Becky

[techtalk] pppd problems, redhat 6.0

1999-01-03 Thread Lighthouse Keeper in the Desert Sun

I know this is a similar problem to one that was discussed recently.  But
I'm not using kppp.  I'm using a script called ppp-on and ppp-on-dialer
that I got from /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.7/scripts/  I'll paste it in (changing
username and pwd to protect the guilty) and the error message that happens
when i do it.

ppp-on

Before you ask, I did change the mod on the scripts to be executable.
Is there a way to see what the program is doing, other than tail -f?
Also, is there a way to get it to run as other than root?  THere seems to
be a problem with locks on the modem.
THis is a new modem (well, kinda).  ISA, non winmodem.  I'm using it now
with a bloody remnant of kppp.  It isn't really installed, but the dialer
works.  (I'm running Enlightenment and Gnome.)  Kppp will only work as
root, too.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Check your ifconfig and your routing table (I shouldn't be answering 
this right now, I'm low on caffiene and high on sleepy-toxins).
 
You want to set your gateway address to your ISP, and to inform your 
route table that that's using your modem's port NOT your ethernet 
port.
You probably want to set IP forwarding off - if the only other address 
on your ethernet is your printer, you only want yourself to use it.
You need to assign your printer as a specific address on your network,
and to tell your ifconfig that the printer is accessible via the 
ethernet port.

'ifconfig' and 'route' are likely to be your main commands there.
man entries should provide your answers, or a search for HOWTOs or 
LDP entries on those topics.

I'm too sleepful to provide exact answers right now, sorry.

(Note to non-English speakers: Sleepful is a coined word. While
most of us are using correct English-as-it-is-spoken, geeks do
have a tendancy to form words as we deem appropriate. I'll try 
to remember to note this when I do it, but I won't always.
The proper way to figure out what these coined words mean is to
look at prefixes and suffixes: '-ful' forms an adjective, for 
instance, and makes 'sleepful' mean 'full of sleep' or 'inclined
to sleep'. Thank you for bearing with those of us who play with
our language.)
