[opensuse] setting up a server
I am taking the plunge in the deep end here. I want to set up a server and begin learning how to use a cms. There is a project I want to do and I know I'm way behind the 8 ball with what I am looking at. I know nothing about php, mysql or js, but I am willing to learn. I have begun to collect books on the subjects, but I'd like to get things set up on my machine first. What all do I need to install to begin this journey besides the basic php5 and mysql?

If you are starting completely from scratch I'd, instead of LAMP, look at something like Mojoportal (a .NET CMS, runs on Mono/Apache/SuSE). Since you are acquiring a completely new skill set might as well pick one as maximally portable/marketable as possible. Now cue the horde's of LAMP minions to tell you this is heresy... :)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not really familar with .net. This server will be a test ground for something along the lines of wordpress. That's what my current host supports, so I'll have to do the lamp thing. They run a linux server, apache 2.? and php5. So again, what do I need to install besides the basic apache, php5 and mysql to run wordpress? Modules, etc. that I would need.

First I advise you against wordpress, try other weblog systems as Serendipity, Habari, b2evolution, LifeType or maybe CMS a like Drupal, FluxCMS..also you can look some non-php based alternatives like mephisto. To setup PHP correctly you just need to install apache2-mod_php5 and some PHP modules,in case they ar not automatically pulled by yast, should be php-ctype php-dom php-iconv php-tokenizer php-suhosin php-mbstring php-gd and if you want mysql support, php-mysql.

I want you to explain your otherwise naked negative recommendation. Without some reason, it's pretty much meaningless. If you have reasons to recommend against a widely used software package, please state them. If not, just say so.

Hi There quite e lot of CMSs. Joomla (ex-mambo) should be a pretty easy CMS to configure. Once you have apache, php, and mysql installed, you have to create the mysql database, unpact Joomla in your apache's home directory and configure the CMS (check the Joomla's documentation).

A while back I used to have a 'plug-in' for Konqueror. I could right-click on any audio file, and convert it to pretty much any other format. Beats using sox any day for people who are intimidated by the command line and sox's "grotty" command line options. For the life of me I cannot find the Konqueror component, or remember what it was called. Anyone know the one I'm talking about? It is a more new-user-friendly solution than sox at the CLI.

Are you sure you were not talking about the Audio Cd Browser in Kong? It converted the opposite direction. You probably got that word grotty right out of the man page. Odd that the very next sentence after the word grotty shows that the syntax by default is extension driven for output files, and the simple command sox file.mp3 file.wav is all you really need. I'm not sure it can get a lot simpler. And converting a 3meg mp3 to a 35 meg wav took mere seconds on this clunk of a machine I use for email. File growth is to be expected in this type of conversion. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Nope, definitely not that. This was an extension to Konq that added a component to the right-click menu. Convert Audio or something like that and when you went to the submenu you were presented a list of possible formats... so if it was a WAV, you would get MP3, OGG etc. as choices. I got it out of the SUSE 3rd party repositories... around the 10.0 time frame. Haven't seen it since or looked that hard for it since then.

Yup :-) I don't mind CLI and sox is fine with me when I need something and feel like using the CLI.

IIRC, the name was (a) a play on words similar to GNU in that it is a recursive acronym and (b) specifically directed at Frauenhofer telling them it does not violate any of their so-called patents.

"Following the great history of GNU naming, LAME originally stood for LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder.

I tried sox yesterday and it never completed converting a wav to mp3. I started it before I left for work and when I came home it was still "running".

I guess those are garments that go on feet and are more masculine than women sox ;-) Well, DUH! This IS a linux list, ain't it? If someone doesn't know about the man command by the time he/she gets here, then there is always "Linux for Dummies" at Amazon.com. I appreciated the terse "man sox" reply. That was the first time I ever heard of sox and it worked to convert my .wav file to .mp3, just like I wanted it to do. It's such a simple tool. As a footnote, the .wav file was a conversion of a song (free, no copyright) that I thought was an mp3 file but when it saved, it was a .wav file. The .wav file was about 13MB. After sox, the .mp3 is around 1.5MB (or so). The same file, downloaded via Firefox and saved to my relative's Winders box is about 3MB. Not sure why, don't really care, but mine sounds as good and takes up half the space. Score another for the penguin.

Just tell them that, unlike Windows, Linux comes with a complete manual for all of it's commands (well, most of them). The fact that most recent Windows users or other uninitiated won't be able to decipher the cryptic meanings without a book (manual) is beside the point. Personally, I prefer a gui to cli since I am basically lazy and would rather point-n-click than lean over and open a terminal window and type, then wonder what I forgot to enter when it doesn't work right.

We were just discussing this point at work yesterday. The point was that Microsoft made a conscious decision not to release detailed manuals for the new Office 2007 or whatever it's called... you know, the one with the annoying ribbon thing. OpenOffice.org on the other hand is doing what they can to try and make documentation more accessible... rolling out documentation wikis ect. People complain about lack of documentation in Linux, and in the past that was very real, but I think the proverbial tide has turned... documentation is better in Linux related apps now :-) C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What war!? The command line is useful for some things and GUI interfaces for others. It is more a matter of identifying which tool is best for the job in hand. GUIs are constrained in the complexity and type of tasks that can usefully performed with them, mainly because they are both syntactically and sequentially limited, or to put it another way you can write a short sentence, but there is problem in putting together a paragraph. The command line interface in the *nix world not only allow build such paragraphs, but reuse those paragraph with the command history. In some ways one can be more lazy with the command line than with a gui when you know what you are doing :-)

Hit tab. You may need to enable it using one of the various "tweaker" tools (or, if you're really a hardcore Windows hacker, edit the registry). In X-Setup Pro (http://www.x-setup.net/), it's Program Options -> Built-In Windows Apps -> Command Prompt -> CMD Directory AutoComplete Key and ... -> CMD File AutoComplete Key.

Hey guy What all this has to do with "Best way to convert wav to mp3". We have to make an effort to stay with the subject of the thread. This makes searching in the future easier. If the thread stimulates another topic great just a small line saying that we will continue in "xx" subject and there we go. Have all of you a good weekend! -=terry(Denver)=- On Fri, 2007-04-20 at 14:51 -0700, Randall R Schulz wrote:

One thing I hate is the totally screwed up command history. You don't know if you have to scroll up or down! How could MS mess up something so simple???
It's an art!

How so? Each message in the archive has a separate URL and indexers such as Google won't return pages whose content is irrelevant to the query.

I shall try.

How do you do command completion in XP???
Should be on by default in any Command window. Start > Run > cmd When the window opens click the top left corner to open the window menu. Select Defaults. It's a checkbox there.
Of course Microsoft munged the tab complete thing HORRIBLY as usual, but it is there... and it sorta works... ish.. kinda...

If no one of the testers cares, and if only a tiny percentage of the users actually use the cmd box for anything serious (unlike what "we" do), then I can easily see how these things gets messed up. If something would get screwed up in Bash, or any other shell, I assure you that the problem would be solved in a day, if not sooner. Theo -- Theo v.
