About LAMP query
by Kamlesh Parmar 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

I have gone through all the post related to LAMP... I feel, I should give more details regarding nature of automated system required... So that I can get some specific pointers... System Requirement: 1. It will be mainly a small 3000 to 5000 record database with student details 2. As of now, main application of it is to generate exam grade reports... 3. And it should be able to give concise & well formatted reports, which could be printed on ordinary printers 4. The periodic backup of records, if it can be integrated in automation system, rather than relying on OS level backup. According to me, there are three main parts of the system, 1) Data Entry of records 2) Algorithm to generate reports based on schools grading logic 3) Report Generation & Printing My View * 1st & 3rd part functions should be extremely user friendly. * Business logic should be isolated into module of its own, and tightly secured. (I don't know how?) * Report generation will be multilingual (English, Gujarati), so better printing support. Now, 1) If at all LAMP is feasible? If yes, how can LAMP setup be utilized? 2) Application should be Desktop based or web based? Regards, Kamlesh Parmar

Hi kamlesh, very good option.. PHP comes with inbuilt support to MySQL. For apche you need to configure it separately for PHP. Just check the licenses of MySQL, I'm not very sure whether you can use it for commercial purposes.. have fun.. bala ----------------------------------- Balajee Chandrasekaran -----Original Message----- From: Kamlesh Parmar [mailto:parmar_kamlesh@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 1:59 PM To: linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in Subject: [ILUG-BOM] A query about LAMP setup Dear All, I am a computer engineer working as network consultant based in Mumbai.

There might be some PHP frameworks for access control and authorization. Afterall, almost all decent web-apps require this. I guess frameworks like PHPNuke would have it though I never looked at them. We developed an ASP framework for our Intranet and most of the logic and AC specifications are on the DB side so it won't be too difficult to adapt it to PHP. -- Tahir Hashmi code_martial AT softhome.net http://www.codemartial.org I have seen The Source

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Lilo Boot Error
by goldwyn rodrigues 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

With Windows 98 installed. the partition table looks different at least in my PC. Because windoze 98 does not allow more than one primary partition. The Linux partitions should have started from hda5 and onwards, unless you create a boot partition which is usually hda2. if you could give the exact error Lilo gives, it would be more helpful. And one more thing, in older systems, such as P2, Lilo requires the start of the boot partition (in your case the root partition) to be within 1024 cylinders. This feature is mother board dependant, raher BIOS dependant. Finally ( but not limited to) it could be your /etc/lilo.conf file. -- Goldwyn :o) Dear Luggies , I am facing strange Problem with installation of "RedHat Linux 9.0 ". When I try to install on home pc it install completely and then finally evenry thing goes right when i try to boot in to it --- It reboots . I have tried Grub (as per default) and then Lilo and also XOSL but same thing . Lilo Showed me the error Boot Error . Also When I tried to boot from win98 OS using Loadlin it showed me surprising the installation procedure again . and if i continue it . It asked me again for Installation Media. I have Successfuly installed "RedHat Linux 9.0 " on same HDD at my office . but it fails at Home . ============================ INFORMATION ============================ At office i used ~~~~~~~~~~ Amdk6 + 128MB RAM + Ausus M/B + 20 GB HDD At home ~~~~~~~~~~~ P2 +64MB RAM + Intel M/B + 20 GB HDD Partion info ~~~~~~~~~ HDA1-win98 [5GB] HDA2-extened HDA3-Linux natuive HDA4-Linux Swap HDA6-win98-Vfat-space Boot Loader is on MBR Any Solution ?
