Compile problem for PHP with PostgreSQL
by Dinesh Shah 24 Jan '02

24 Jan '02

Hi All, I have strange problem. I am not able to compile Postgres support into PHP4.0.4pl1. I have compiled PostgreSQL 7.1.3. My system is Slackware 8.0 with Linux kernel 2.4.17. If I try to compile pgsql support statically into PHP module, this module refuses to load in to Apache (1.3.20). If I compile pgsql support as shared lib for php module it does not load and logs this warning PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'pgsql.so' - pgsql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 PHP module loads ok in Apache but I don't get pgsql support. I have tried every thing. Even searched on PHP's mailing lists and tried all the solutions posted there... Pls help... TIA With regards, -- --Dinesh Shah :-) Shah Micro System dinesh(a)indiamail.com http://dineshah.tripod.com Mobile: 98213-11906

Red Hat 7.2 Installation: Partitioning?????
by Vikram .. 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

HI EVERYBODY, Here is a very basic question (but I am really stuck!! :| ) I have been trying to install red hat 7.2 on a win98 machine. Everything goes fine until the partitioning screen comes up. I have a hdd of 37 gb and I have repartitioned it to 27+10 with FIPS and want to use the new 10 GB partition (win95 FAT32) for linux. When I choose automatic partitioning screen, it declines to do that (space not available). Next when I come to the manual partioning screen, I cant proceed their either. When I select the hard drive partition of my choice and try to add new partitions (root, swap and boot), I get the same errors, space not available. And it woulnd't let me proceed. Once I have done partitionless install with linux 7.0 on the same machine without having hard drive partitioned by fips. And it worked fine. Unfortunately, as it seems, Red Hat 7.2 doesnt support partitionless installations. Any comments, suggestions, advises, must do's, undo's?????????? Greetings, Vikram _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

CD ROM problems Kernel 2.4.7-10
by Anand Iyer 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

I recently installed RH7.2 using Seascope disks. Initially due to non availability of GLIBC (proper version ) on CD 1 of 2, only a minimal install was possible. Later on I loaded the RPM's one by one. My CDROm drive Samsung CD writer RW 8.4.32 is recognised by the kernel, but when i try to mount the CDROm, I get a message /dev/cdrom improper device or device does not exist. I have the following line in lilo.conf append="hdc=ide-scsi" This used to work and still works on Caldera with kernel 2.4.2 (PCQuest CD's)loaded in another partition. My creative infra CDROM has conked off so this is the only drive currently available with me. The CDROM is shown when the system boots up after Lilo in RH7.2 Any ideas in getting it working. Regards Anand

hmm...sorry to get this topic slightly ...away. does qmail work with fetchmail i mean i have seen linuxers make choices like sendmail+fetchmail+mutt or sendmail+procmail+netscape makes the best option..or things like that. so is there anything along with qmail (i mean in combination) that works really great...or is it that Qmail itself works on its own really excellent. akshay. linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in wrote: On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, Manish Jethani wrote: > There's also gotmail.

OK I had enough of Linux (period) I've been using Linux for almost 2 years now. After getting bored of Windows I decided to remove it from my PC.I was running only Red Hat Linux 7.1 when I had a major filesystem crash. I even lost some of important data. One of my friends suggested that 7.1 had a buggy kernel and I should switch to 6.2 I installed 6.2 and everything was fine until today... The boot process 'dropped me to a shell' and advised me to run fsck manually. I obliged. Out of the blue I got a truckload of messages telling me that something was wrong and that should it fix it ? Amazingly the only answer was yes.I continued pressing 'y' for about 5 mins and then the ordeal was over. I logged in just to find that my ncurses libraries had been deleted ! And horror of horrors: my entire rpm database was gone... I did not want any more surprises. Being frustrated I decided to give myself a break. I removed Linux and now I'm running good ol' Win 98 :-) Anyone reading this please keep in mind : Curse Windows , Hate Windows ,Kick Windows but never and I say *never* remove Windows.

[NEWS]-AOL reportedly in talks to buy Red Hat
by N.D. 20 Jan '02

20 Jan '02

http://news.com.com/2100-1001-819243.html WASHINGTON--Media and Internet titan AOL Time Warner is in negotiations to acquire Linux distributor Red Hat, the Washington Post reported Saturday, citing unidentified sources familiar with the matter. The talks were fluid and it was unclear how much AOL, which runs the biggest U.S. Internet service provider and the second-largest U.S. cable television system, would pay for Red Hat, the newspaper said. Red Hat is the leading distributor of Linux, which unlike software such as rival Microsoft's Windows operating system, is an "open source" platform that anyone can change to suit their needs. Spokespeople for the three companies declined to comment on the negotiations, the newspaper reported. Linux has gained growing favor with businesses, especially to power the heavy-duty server computers that dish up Web pages and run corporate networks. The attempted acquisition is the latest indication that AOL is seeking alternative software to that made by rival Microsoft, the maker of Windows which runs 90 percent of the world's personal computers, the Washington Post said. To counter Microsoft, AOL could couple its Internet service with Red Hat's operating system technology and could be configured to override Windows while launching a version of Linux, sources told the newspaper. ===== | N.D. | ===== _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I/O ports access for normal users?
by Rahul Saxena 19 Jan '02

19 Jan '02

hi everyone, I was tryign to read/write bits to 0x378 I/O port, using the ioperm() system call. But this allows only the root to access. HOw do normal users access the port? i did read about SETUID(), but i dont really understand how it works for me ?? does anyone have any pointers on this ?? Also i am trying to uderstand how ot access using read and write. for that i would need to add the user as part of the group, which can access /dev/port. How do i add myself to the group? i guess.. in that case i wont be in my original group. Thanks for reading -rahul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
