Squirrel and PHP - annoyances
by Radu Voicu 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi! SuSE 9.0 default install, all the updates, mod_php4 and apache default install, when I am trying to access my webmail, I got in 80% of the times a "nice" bulk php code instead of the nice interface of squirrelmail (sometimes, when hitting refresh for several times, I got the page I expected, sometimes not) The thing is that phpMyAdmin does this s*it too :( I was wondering if somebody on this list has the same problem, cause I was trying to find a newer version of mod_php4 or even mod_php4.src.rpm, but nobody seems to have it - I saw that in the sources of SuSE 9.1 there's no mod_php anymore (it's php4-4.3.4-26.src.rpm) - so I am clueless right now :( Any hints, please? This is on a production machine and I could not afford this to happen.

OTRS and Apache2
by Hans du Plooy 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi guys, Just a quick one regarding otrs. In Yast2 apache is listed as a dep for otrs, but I have apache2 installd. Is it safe to install otrs without apache? I can't imagine that running both apache and apache2 would work so well Before I break anything..... Thanks -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za

suse 9.0 YOU update of apache2 produces dependency errors
by Patricia Travers 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

I think the YOU patch file for apache2 on SUSE 9.0 has been broken. A couple of weeks ago we installed suse 9.0 pro on a computer, with the "simple web server" selection including apache2. This was updated by YOU at the time to apache2-2.0.48-9 (from the installed 2.0.47-x) along with some other related packages. That computer was YOU updated again and apache2 is now at version 2.0.48-123 with no apparent version dependency problems with its related files. Today we installed 9.0 pro on a new computer with the same package selection and then performed a YOU update as usual. After that update we get version dependency errors in yast's "Install & Remove Software", between apache2-2.0.48-123 and the various related files (including apache2-prefork, libapr0) which are still at version 2.0.47-x. There seems no way in YOU for the related files to be updated to the 2.0.48-x version. We are reluctant to use this computer in a production environment with this version mis-match. We haven't even tried it and have no idea if the combination is stable. I notice that the current patch file for apache2 at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/patches/apache2-51309 has a file date of the 5th of April and looking at the contents of the file it only lists apache2.rpm as a file to update. An older version of the apache2 patch file is at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/patches.obsolete/apache2-51152 and as well as the main apache2.rpm it lists/updates the related files like apache2-prefork, libapr0 etc. (the files that are listed by YOU on the new computer as being of incompatible versions). I expect that the older machine was updated with the older patch file (which updated the related files to 2.0.48-x) so when it was patched against the new file the additional files were sufficiently up-to-date that YOU doesn't complain about them. And the new computer was updated only with the new patch file, which only updates apache2.rpm itself leaving the other files at the older version rather than updating them to the latest version. 1. How to reproduce: a) Do a fresh install of SUSE 9.0 Professional b) make sure that simple web server is chosen, with apache2 selected c) install d) run YOU and update everything including the apache2 e) in yast run "Install & Remove Software" and it complains that the dependencies for apache2 are broken in that the updated apache2 is version 2.0.48-123 and requires version 2.0.48 of things like apache2-prefork, libapr0 etc. which are still at only 2.0.47-x. There seems no way to update those other files using YOU. 2. This is not working: Updating the apache2 package set in YOU doesn't update the related files even though YOU has done this in the past. 3. Error messages and logfiles

Still need help with bind/dhcp
by David Rankin 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Andrew (and SuSE list), Here is the situation. Suse 8.2, Bind 9.2.2 and DCHP using ddns. I can start bind with /etc/init.d/named start, and it runs and will update the zone but it will no longer insert the TXT "secret" record in the zone file. Also, it won't start with rndc. "connection refused error". I have built keys with dnskeygen and rndc-confgen. Here is the rncd output: skyline:/var/lib/named # rndc -V start create memory context create socket manager create task manager create task create logging context setting log tag creating log channel enabling log channel create parser get key decode base64 secret start post event using server 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1#953) create socket connect rndc: connect failed: connection refused And then: skyline:/var/lib/named # rcnamed start Starting name server BIND 9 done skyline:/var/lib/named # rndc -V status create memory context create socket manager create task manager create task create logging context setting log tag creating log channel enabling log channel create parser get key decode base64 secret status post event using server 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1#953) create socket connect create message render message schedule recv send message parse message number of zones: 6 debug level: 0 xfers running: 0 xfers deferred: 0 soa queries in progress: 0 query logging is OFF server is up and running When bind is running it now gives update denied errors in the log file. This all started after I edited the zone files and restarted named. I have since deleted the .jnl files and used nsupdate to delete and re-add the info to the zones. Named/dhcp will add the A record to the zone but I still can't get the TXT record added and I still get errors. I just need someone to point me in the right direction to some documentation that will tell me whether I need to scrap my entire setup and start over or whether I can do something to fix it. The bind9arm.pdf troubleshooting doesn't really help. In the Suse implementation, bind runs chrooted in /var/lib/named. If you would just take a quick look at the zones and config and errors below, I would really appreciate it!

why does apache2-mod_php4 depend on apache2-prefork?
by Phil Mocek 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

I'd like to install PHP4 for use on a system that is running Apache2 with the worker MPM, but package apache2-mod_php4, version 4.3.3-50, specifies a dependency on apache2-prefork. Can offer advice on dealing with this conflict? Does anyone know if mod_php4 really requires something provided by apache2-prefork that is not provided by apache2-worker? -- Phil Mocek

dhcpcd failed at boot
by Rodney Wishart 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

I'm having a problem acquiring an ip address from my netgear broadband router. My windows boxes and my print server have no problems acquiring an IP address through dhcp, so I know its not the router. When configuring eth0 with DHCP in YAST all is well and I receive an IP address from my router. However during boot up I receive a "dhcp failed" error message, during the configuring eth0 dhcp phase. Not really sure what to do here. I'm usually OK if one of the other clients on my network doesn't grab the IP address of my linux box. If for instance, the power on the router goes off, all my clients receive new IPs and I must reconfigure eth0 with DHCP through YAST to get an IP from the router. Here is the boot log error message: eth0 (DHCP) <notice>startproc: execve (/sbin/dhcpcd) [ /sbin/dhcpcd -D -N -t 999999 -B -h linux eth0 ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console TERM=linux SHELL=/ bin/sh OLDPWD=/etc/sysconfig/network progress=18 INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.82 RUN_FROM_RC=yes REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=118 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/ usr/bin:/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts vga=0x317 RUNLEVEL=5 PWD=/etc/ sysconfig/network PREVLEVEL=N LINES=38 HOME=/ SHLVL=4 splash=silent sscripts=39 _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/sbin/dhcpcd ] <notice>pidofproc: dhcpcd 885 failed <notice>exit status of (network) is (0) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
