I have fiddled *even crashed* Apache by doing strange things, and I find keeping a virtual host actually helps. Atleast, your apache documentation remains accessible at http://localhost at all times ;). Well, as for your problem goes Unmesh you can use a DNS server. But the way you ask your question, I guess you haven't set one up. Still, you can get the thing done a DNS server. In the file /etc/hosts, you can add the IP address and the Domain you want. Also you have set the DNS search order to host and then DNS. This you can do using linuxconf I guess. But remember from wherever you plan to access your intranet site you must make changes there. *manageable if your Network is small enuff*. Similar settings can be done on your windows based clients as well. All you now have to do is setup up Apache accordingly.

Epson Stylus 460 never worked for me
by Tahir Hashmi 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

Hi all! It's been two years since I'm using Linux and at my workplace I'm using Linux exclusively. I could've had a Linux-only setup at home also but for one thing - printer. I've been driven nuts trying to get my Epson Stylus 460 running in Linux in vain. My last attempt was with the stock foomatic printer drivers that came with RedHat 7.2. I had made a clean reinstall of RedHat 7.2 and I selected the Stylus 460 driver - there were three options for that and I selected stp, IIRC. When I tried printing the PS test page, the printer started spewing *** Unable to open initial device *** ad infinitum. Now I'm going back home after 3 months (I work in a different city, you see) armed with RH 7.3 CDs and I plan to upgrade from 7.2. This time could someone please tell me how to get things done? I would be OK w/o photo printing as long as I can atleast print color postscript and images at the normal 600 dpi. When I posted about my last attempt with stock RH 7.2 foomatic drivers, someone told that those drivers were broken and I should use new ones. Hope this time around things might look up. But please do give me some clear instructions on how to set it up using the RH 7.3 foomatic drivers and printconf-tui or printconf-gui. Thanks a lot in advance :-) --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed ____________________________________________________________ Win a first-class trip to New Orleans and vacation Elvis Style!.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Can't read vfat partitions
by Vinay Pai 27 Jun '02

> hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } > hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's your cue! There's a physical error (bad sector) on your hard disk. UncorrectableError means there was a burst error severe enough that the ECC algorithm couldn't correct it. If you can read other partitions from the same hard disk, there's a good chance that it is only a few bad sectors and most of your data is intact. Your best bet is to somehow boot to Windows or DOS 7.x and run Norton Disk Doctor. Don't bother running scandisk. It'll say something like "Errors in Filesystem, Scandisk can't run" (duh!) If that doesn't work, and you have sufficiently important data on that disk let me know. If enough of the filesystem tables are intact it ought to be possible to fix it manually. Anyway ultimately you want to do a low-level format of that hard disk before you use it again.
