Did you try contacting them and asking for permissions to use the info. Perhaps they might say a yes if they are in their elements. With warm wishes, Amol Hatwar.

Why if it is available publicly on the Net - they muat have put it for use. Displaying that they possess the list doesn't seem to be the idea. Regards, Amol.

[Announce] country codes and state list
by Philip S Tellis 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

I have compiled a list of country codes (from iso3166) and state/region/province lists for as many countries as I could find, alongwith whether they are states, regions or provinces. These have been useful to me in the past, and I figure that they'll be useful to others too. That, and I don't feel like making backups. So, go ahead and download it and make local copies, it's available at http://db.ilug-bom.org.in/lug-authors/philip/ If you think you have some updates to provide, mail them in and I'll be happy to include them after verification. I believe the CIA has a more comprehensive list than I do, but then I don't have the resources that they do. Also, not sure if using their info is allowed. Advice? Philip PS: how many people think that this would be good as a sourceforge project. Not just the lists, but also sample code in a variety of languages to use these lists in your application. I already have code for java and perl. -- "But the important thing is persistence." -- Calvin trying to juggle eggs

servers hang mysteriously
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Hi, We have a Compaq Proliant ML350 with two 1G P4's and hardware RAID. It's running RHL 7.3 with the general services services enabled. Only exception is that qmail and tinydns have replaced the original counterparts. A bare installation of X is present, just enough provide libraries that allow users to remotely view postscript files. Now the problem is that the server hangs intermittently, for no apparent reason. The keyboard stops responding, the monitor goes blank and it does not respond to ping packets. We had heard of a kernel bug in RHL 7.3 which causes SMP machines with ext3 to panic. But the hang-ups continue even after upgrading to kernel-smp-2.4.18-10 from redhat.com We suspect a hardware problem since an identical machine is working fine with the same setup. Only difference is that this second machine does not have active users yet. But where do I start looking to rule out any config problems, bad software, careless users etc? The logs never get written, since we have to reset the machine ...

popularise linux in our college
by Gurpreet Singh 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

hi luggerz We have an institution where the computers and IT deptt is new and there is a lot of enthusiasm pertaining to linux among the staff. We have a spl linux lab set up. But the prob is that linux is new to everyone. there are a few ppl like us who have attended seminars but we still are learning. i would like to sugggest that some of u plz visit us and hold a seminar for linux. Trever & Dr. Nag held one such seminar in the feb wherein we were introduced to linux and the i-lug bom. but very few ppl attended that since it was organized by the automobile deptt. Now we have around 200 students who have a whole linux lab to their disposal but dont know what to do with it. I ensure a much better response this time... adding to this, we have a college closeby in a similar situation and we can organise a seminar there too. two engg colleges in one shot... this was painting a very rosy picture... the downer is that the college is at abt 7 hrs journey from mumbai, but in feb trevor n dr nag were here :) what do u guiys think Gurpreet

Hi, A friend of mine was trying to install a screen saver on his Red Hat 7.2 linux box when X crashed. He replaced his XF86Config-4 file with the original. He is still getting an error: Could not init font path unix/:7100, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' Can you suggest what steps he should take to recover from the X server crash? Thanks. Parul

Re: [ILUG-BOM] PHP Issues

Hi Kapil, >I am having an issue with a PHP site that i am building. I know >this is a bit offtrack but i will really appreciate it if >anyone >could suggest a solution. >I have a php script which is generating some dynamic content. >The file also contains other php scripts. I want to store the >content generated by the php script in a string rather than >outputting it to the browser window. I would want to know why you want to do this. There are better ways to cache content. If you don't want to display content if a particular script fails, than you should use output buffering. Refer the PHP manual. It's invaluable. Since you are still building a site, I suggest you have a look at this link. It's a recent article that I wrote, perhaps it may be of some help to you. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-phprock1/index.html And if you still want content in a variable, lets talk off-the-list. :) With warm wishes, Amol Hatwar.
