[SLE] Apache questions

14 Sep '00

I am in need of some help... (Beating the head against the wall has started to hurt) When a web site adds something new to thier site, it is added with a mask of lets say 640 instead of 666 or 644 for permissions. I have looked and read, and cannot see what I have done wrong in the set up of apache. Any ideas? -- Kirk Moore EPM - Release Management environments - STL's 425-965-6284(desk) <<---- NEW NUMBER 206-797-9092 (pager) Black holes are created when God divides by zero! -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Jesse- Did you use the SuSE rpms from the xfree86 site? I had previously installed build 0.94, and I am wondering if I can just use the rpms to upgrade to 0.95...? I had lots of trouble before configuring Xfree86 (especially w/ sax2 ! ) but I guess I could always cut & paste from my old config file....

Prior to that they maintained two versions of the GLX drivers, one for xfree86-4.0 and one for xfree86-4.01. The new drivers are only for 4.01. I have a GeForce 256, and it is working great.

hi i'm back !! finished my exams and i'm back with new energy ;) thought u guys could solve a problem. i installed vmware, configure linux on a virtual file system. i want that system to be my gateway to the internet. i'll give u the details host system: name -- houdini.cheedu.dyndns.org ip 172.16.160.1 interface vmnet1 with the guest OS guest os: name --- mirage.cheedu.dyndns.org ip 172.16.160.129 interface eth0 with the host OS mind u , i dont have an ethernet card/adapter. it's virtual. because i've 128 mb of ram on my pc, which is quite indecent considering i bought my pc a year and a half ago, i've decided to allocate 20 mb to the guest os. what should happen is i should dial the isp from the guest OS. all connections from host OS to the internet should go through the guest OS. the guest OS has ipchains , squid running on it. Q1 : how should i configure it ? right now from the host OS, i cant ping the outside the guest OS when connected to net from the guest Q2: how much ram is essential ? thanx in advance cheedu -- Optimist ?

RE: [SLE] Why HP printer is shifting each line to the right?
by s.hiemstra＠wish.nl 14 Sep '00

The staircase effect is dealt with in the german SDB on the distribution, at /usr/doc/sdb/de/html/ke_staircase.html. There are basically two solutions, it says: 1. Adjust printer to the right convention, by the printer's dip switches or menu. 2. Set the variable PRINT_RAW_SETUP_PRINTER in file /etc/apsfilterrc to the right value; see the detailed description in this file. My findings are that cat <filename> > /dev/lp0 creates the staircase effect, but lpr works fine.

Mat, This may be a shot in the dark, but check further up the rc.config under PCMCIA section, and see if you have duplicate ifconfig lines. On 6.4, I ran into this problem when I used yast2 to install the cards. It placed bogus ifconfig commands under the pcmcia driver section, even though I have no pcmcia. This hosed things up similarly to your description.
