Squid problem
by Purbeck School Network Support 06 Jul '00

06 Jul '00

Hi I am a real Linux newbie so please be gentle with me. We have just installed SuSe Linux on a spare file server that we have. I am hoping to use it as a Proxy server. I have Squid running and it is working up to a point. We use RM IFL for our Internet access. I have a public IP address on the Linux server and it can get on the Internet without a problem. The problem is that we have to connect through a proxy server at RM (isdncache.rmplc.co.uk:8080). I can't figure out where this setting is in the Squid configuration file. What is happening at the moment is that I am getting pages that are hosted with RM and nobody else. So Squid is doing something it just can't get to the outside world. Any ideas welcome. TIA Dave Turnbull ICT Technician The Purbeck School www.purbeck.dorset.sch.uk

Good point, I always suggest that users send in plain format unless they ( need to use and ) know that the other party can read HTML - what's that saying about educating pork or flogging dead horses? - Animal themes today!

Don't wish to offend, MY (animalistic) email comments were not aimed at the list - I can (and do) read HTML but nearly always sent in plain text.

Hi folks, Just a general plea, I don't know about others, but I rarely use a browser to read my email, so html formats take a lot of deciphering! If others have the same approach, perhaps we need to agree not to use html in this group? -- Best wishes, Derek Harding derek(a)lagham.zetnet.co.uk

Hi, I tried a Netgear (PCI) card with Linux some time ago - a little finnicky to set up, but O.K. We have settled on D-Link DFE-530TX (PCI, Twisted-Pair only, 10/100Mbps auto negotiation) - they slide in sweet and true, and are recognised by both Windows (3.1 & 9x) and Linux (Via-Rhine). - Cost about £14.00 from Action (less in quantity). At the end of two years in service, they've not (so far) fallen over, broken down or otherwise turned pear-shaped.

Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Installing Apache

> [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 80 This means that something else is already listening to the TCP port that a web server would normally use - so, are you already running apache (or even another web server) on the box ? If you do # netstat -na | more This will list all currently running (and listening) network servers. Look for something like the following : tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN If you see this you are certainly running a program already listening to port 80. If you try # ps -aux | more you can look for something that could be a web server (apache is always listed as httpd). If it is not this, then the only other thing I can think of, is - is it possible you are trying to start apache twice - ie the first one starts, but the second one gives the error ? As a test, you could try specifing another port (is this in httpd.conf or it may be a command line option) eg 8080 and see if it starts up ok on this port (you would have to connect to the URL http://you.machine:8080/ in order to view its home page though). Hope this helps, Kevin.

Installing Apache
by Dave Williams 02 Jul '00

I have attempted to install apache_1/3/12 but without much success. I'm not sure if any options need changing either at the configure stage or in httpd.conf. The error log shows [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 80 Any help much appreciated Dave Williams
