Hi All I have a database application developed in perl. I want to put it online ASAP using Mason. System details are as follows Ubuntu 5.10 Apache/2.0.54 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.0.5-2ubuntu1 mod_perl/2.0.1 Perl/v5.8.7 To test my system I need to execute following script : ===================== modsec-test.pl #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"; print "\n\n"; print "----------------------------------------\n"; print "This is used by mod_security regression \n"; print "tests in order to verify that the module\n"; print "works as it is supposed to.\n"; print "----------------------------------------\n"; print "\n\n"; foreach $var (sort(keys(%ENV))) { $val = $ENV{$var}; $val =~ s|\n|\\n|g; $val =~ s|"|\\"|g; print "${var}=\"${val}\"\n"; } ===================== When I try to execute following script from the browser I get following 500 error : =============== Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Apache/2.0.54 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.0.5-2ubuntu1 mod_perl/2.0.1 Perl/v5.8.7 Server at localhost Port 80 =============== But the same script executes properly if run from console i.e perl -T modsec-test.pl Apache2 error log says : ===================== Loading Apache2::Request at runtime. You could increase shared memory between Apache processes by preloading it in your httpd.conf or handler.pl file [Wed Dec 14 23:25:16 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Can't locate object method "new" via package "Apache2::Request" at /usr/share/perl5/HTML/Mason/ApacheHandler.pm line 908.\n ===================== Did google / ask, but could not locate any workable solution. Please I need get Mason working ASAP and deploy this application online. Regards Joel 9821421965

FLOSS 3D animation...
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

This is something interesting I read in the linux-magazine.com: Not so long ago, professional quality 3D animation required expensive workstations. The software they ran, for example, Maya (Unlimited Vision), cost more than $15,000 early in 2002, and the software technology was hidden behind restictive licenses. What's the 3D animation process? The process starts with modeling the shape of the 3D object. The next stage is texturing, that is, adding a kind of skin. This step gives the model a natural looking surface with light reflexes and a surface structure. UV mapping projects 2D bitmaps (such as wood grains) onto the 3D surface; in its simplest form, this is like posting a bill on an advertising column. The 3D model can then be animated. In the rigging process, joints are added to the figure. The joints allow the the artist to move a complex object like a puppetter moves a puppet. After completing the basic animation scene, the animator adds special effects, such as water, fire, or smoke. The scene is then lit by positioning light sources, just like in conventional movie making. The post production is concerned with optimizing the nearly-finished product, coming it with the movie or video scenes, and adding a soundtrack. Also: Normally, many different programs are used to create a 3D animation. First of all, you need a program to create the 3D models. In most cases, animation and rendering (conversion of finished models to photo-realistic images) are handled by separate programs. Rendering is so vastly complext that it typically requires a specialized tool. Some useful software: Wings3D, simplifying complex shapes http://www.wings3d.com Blender, the only FLOSS program that covers all steps in 3D production http://blender.org [Blender's strengths is its speed, which is superior to commercial products. But Blender mainly uses subwindows that are full of buttons and slide controls. The itnerface design lacks logical consistency. Even such simple functions as cut and paste take some getting used to in Blender, as they use [Alt] + [C] or [Alt] + [V], rather than the more typical [Ctrl] keys. This is due to the fact that Blender was designed as an in-house solution for the NeoGeo animation studio. K3D, one more recent developments in the 3D fields. K3D's major strength is it's a targeted new development based on current experience http://k3d.sourceforge.net Yafray, currently the most powerful free rendering tool http://www.yafray.org Toxic, a rendering tool based on physically exact computing http://www.toxicengine.org Aqsis, provider most complete support for RenderMan standard syntax for 3D model definition http://www.aqsis.org Povray (documentation, community) http://povray.org Jahshaka, might close the gaps in the near future http://www.jahshaka.org Cinelerra, another possible candidate to allow studios to handle whole prodocution cycle for computer-generated movie making with FLOSS software. http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3 ------------------------------------------------------------- ILUG-Goa meets next on December 17, 2005,3-5 pm Science Centre -- ------------------------------------------------------------- | India Linux Users' Group, Goa | | Join the friendly user group | | Mail list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ilug-goa/join | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/teach-yourself-linux | | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ilug-goa-announce | | http://www.iosn.net/country/india/organizations/ilug-goa/ | ------------------------------------------------------------- , , / \ .-. * SOFTWARE ((__-^^-,-^^-__)) (. .) * FREEDOM `-_---' `---_-' / V \ * SHARING `--|o` 'o|--' // \\ \ ` / /( )\ KNOWLEDGE IS POWER ): :( '.^^_^^.'

Internet Explorer Emulation on linux
by Abhishek Daga 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Hi, Is there anyway we can emulate internet explorer on linux? (any distro?) While testing out sites (Especially when using CSS), it's a pain to see things display differently than intended in IE. Considering that most people use a combination of WinXP/98+IE combo, we cannot ignore this demographic and i dont want to use up a machine on windows just for testing. I am sure this problem has been faced by others too, so any help would be highly appreciated. thanks! abhi Ignorance is Strength. What you don't know cannot hurt you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Fedora Core 4 CD required
by Amish Mehta 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hello All, I need Fedora Core 4 CDs urgently. Can not download as download speeds are too low. I found Mr. Sanket's contact from list archives but unfortunately he has DVD and not CD. Other sources are not in Mumbai. If anyone has CD set and can either lend me for 2-3days or give a copy to me for nominal charge or in return of blank CDs then I would be grateful. Please let me know where can I collect the CDs from. Also if any store in Mumbai offers FC4 CD set. Thank you. Amish.

Terminal and Sudo
by Rony Bill 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hello All, There are two problems for which I need some help. 1. Right from the start, FC4 is not able to open terminal windows from Ctrl+Alt F1 to F6. They would just be a blank screen. F7 would be back to GUI though. I checked up on the net and it was related to some bug in the gcc https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161242 Since no such file was available for yum update, I put on the Yumx and checked all updates that had the name Xorg. Now F1 to F6 open but on going back to F7, the display goes bonkers. It only shows blinking cursors and hourglasses. It cannot go back to F1 to F6 either. Only a forced reboot works. Any tips? 2. I installed sudo but configuring the sudoers file is a little complex. The sudoers example site http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/sample.sudoers has detailed explanation but how would I add a line to allow, say user1 to give sudo commands without a password? Do I need to reboot or login again? Any help, tips and tricks would be highly appreciated. :) Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sharing an Internet Connection
by Puneet Lakhina 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

hi, i have a reliance fwp phone which i use to connect to the internet. I want to share this connection with two of my friends so that all of us get equal bandwidth if accessing at the same time. We have thought of two possible alternatives 1. the computer to which the phone is connected to have two Ethernet card with a p2p connection to the other two. -are there any issues regarding equal bandwidth division with this approach and secondly will a simple proxy software do or do we need some additional software to make this approach work. I am currently using Fedora core 2 but if there is any other distribution more suited to this then switching over to that is not a problem. 2. have a switch or hub and use that to share the connection. The only problem with this is the additional cost as where i live(vellore, tn) 4 port switches are difficult to get and an 8 port one cost around 800-900 i guess so that means an additional 300 bucks per person. I would really appreciate any feed backs on this or suggestions on any other alternatives, thank you, puneet

Network problem
by Sanket Medhi 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

There is an odd problem I am facing. I just realized that I can't ping anyone on the network...not even myself (localhost). :-s I am using two IP addresses in the form of eth0 and eth0:1 . The eth0 is used for Sify's static IP and eth0:1 for the local network. Amazingly, everything including all internet applications and DC work perfectly. But neither can I ping anyone's IP on the local network (except for Sify's server) nor can others ping my IP. The point is that this is happening only on Ubuntu. These things seem to be on m$. Due to this problem, I can't use applications like vnc and gnump3d. What could be the problem? I have inserted lines for eth0:1 manually in the /etc/network/interfaces -- Regards, Sanket Medhi.
