I would like to see SuSE change the default /etc/httpd/httpd.conf from "-FollowSymLinks" to "+FollowSymLinks". This would help a lot of users. Is there a good reason why it's not +FollowSymLinks as a default ? /Dee -----Original Message----- From: Robert C.

If /home or /home/jack etc. is a symbolic link it will not work. There is an option ("-FollowSymLinks") in httpd.conf that you can change to "+FollowSymLinks". Third: You might have messed up your httpd.conf. Compare with the one from your working setup. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Robert Paulsen paulsen(a)texas.net

Use of Linux
by n6tadam 02 Jul '01

02 Jul '01

Dear Lists, This is perhaps slightly off topic, so bear with me. :-) I am interested to know, how many of you, actually use a non-root account to get work done. Since there is so many risks of constantly using a root account, how in the world are you supposed to get work done without being logged in as root?? For example, most of my bash scripts that I write, require the use of certain files, which, if not ran as root, would require me to run numerous chmod/chgrp commands to get them to run. How have people, gotten around this?? Regards, Thomas Adam Please note that the content of this message is confidential between the original sender and the intended recipient(s) of the message.

JFS Tools ready for testing
by Lenz Grimmer 02 Jul '01

02 Jul '01

Hi, if anyone plans on toying around with IBMs journaling file system "JFS", I have created RPMs of the required userland tools for SuSE Linux 7.1 and 7.2 (i386) - they will be available from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/grimmer/RPMs/i386/ and http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/export/RPMs/i386/ soon. (The web server already has them, mirroring to ftp.suse.com takes a while longer). A kernel with JFS included will take a few more days, though, but we are working on it. The patches from the IBM web site should apply cleanly to the SuSE kernel sources. Feedback is very welcome! Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany You got to start somewhere if you're going end elsewhere.

How close is SuSE 7.2 to LSB?
by StarTux 02 Jul '01

02 Jul '01

Just got round to reading deps nice article on Linuxplanet (cannot believe he tried that GCC/glibc upgrade...Tried that once and it failed to compile and I did something else instead, glad I did that!) I remember hearing awhile ago how close 7.0 or 7.1 was to the LSB, is there going to be another comparison soon? If dep is on the list still, did you try checking out the portal.suse.com site? I have found it occaisonly useful. But "why" were this problems happening? Recently when I tried the tarball install it went well until I specified alsa and a couple of others (I believe one was glx, but with an Nvidia card it may have been looking for the wrong GLX). Videolan, for me, works far better than Xine. Being on the Creatures Beta they seem to have no problems, I could ask them, but it seems very much like that games at least have settled on the /usr/local/games as a directory to install to.

APC installation mangles halt file?
by Mark W. Knecht 01 Jul '01

01 Jul '01

Hello, Continuing on with my APC installation on SuSE EMail Server II, it mostly works. Pull the power plug, shutdown initiates, but apparently the APC installation program mangled /sbin/init.d/halt. This is running on two Redhat machines correctly, but the halt file is very different on those machines so I'm not making good comparisons yet. I'm getting a complaint of an error near [ @ line 102 I'm attaching the file here (it's small) hoping someone reads this script stuff better than I will see an obvious mistake. Thanks in advance for the help and pointers. Mark

[SLE] Sleepy machine?
by Dennis 01 Jul '01

01 Jul '01

I have this problem and need some advice/opinion. One of my remote office PC using 7.1 pro working as DHCP and internal DNS running on Intel i815 mobo keep falling a sleep in the middle of the night (3am, 7am, 11pm, etc randomly), and loss connectivity both locally and remote (where my office is) when trying to connect the next morning. The fact is it just need to touch the keyboard and it wake up and running as it suppose to be. But this is a big problem as the remote site is unmanned most of the time. APM is not active, no funny logging in the /var/log/message but the log just stop there? what can be wrong? I have a similar setup using i820 PC doing the same thing in another remote site and it does not have this problem. Both PC setup is almost (I supposed) the same. Any comment? Dennis/sg

7.2 installation
by Anders Johansson 01 Jul '01

01 Jul '01

Well, I finally received 7.2, and I tried two types of installation. First, an upgrade from 7.1 and then a clean install. Strangely, this time, the upgrade went better :) The clean install never asked me what kernel I wanted to run, which the upgrade did. A bit odd, but no big deal for me. The default kernel worked, which is all that matters at this stage. Optimizations can come later When I first booted the clean install, the mouse wouldn't work, it just went and hid in the corner and wouldn't respond to mouse movements. I've had this before and it means that it hasn't been correctly identified as imps/2. I decided to reboot and try the text install, but I forgot to enter 'manual' at the prompt so I got right back into yast2. Imagine my surprise when the mouse worked this time. hm. The rest of the install went without problems (although my printer still isn't supported :() The upgrade worked at the first attempt, without any issues at all, I'm glad to say. This is wonderful :) The rest of the weekend will be spent trying to find differences from 7.1. On the surface there doesn't seem to be much, but I'm sure there's a lot if I dig deeper. Regards Anders
