Problem with my webserver
by Chris Roubekas 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Dear all, I have the strangest problem since last night. I have a web server up and running on a static IP. Nothing has been changed or edited in it for the longest time. The connection to the internet works, apache, ssh etc all work. It appears that the server and the connection to the internet is fine. However, the network behind the firewall is not able to get any http requests or pop3 requests what-so-ever! I have shorewall 1.4.8 installed and the rules that I have made used to work since last night. The rules set, has not been edited. When I ping the server, all is perfect. When I try to open the webpage, nothing happens. I do not get a deny but I don't see the webpage either!!! Can anyone give me a good clue about this please?? Chris

Sorry!!! I forgot to mention that the webserver acts as a firewall between the internet and a small local network. Chris

But for one who is not an engineer of any kind, one who used Windows only when Win95 came out because it was easier than DOS, etc., and one who like many, many *new computer users* had no one sitting next to them (like at work) to teach the little things of how to do anything, I feel Linux won't get to be mainstream until Linux becomes standardized and much more user friendly with live tech support. I used Mandrake 10.1 first, gave up on that, then bought and installed SuSE 9.2. I had no trouble installing it and in understanding how to use the basic functions. But other *little* things have me stumped - like how to install a software (firefox) upgrade when it isn't in RPM format. And a lot of functions in the same "class" of differentness (a word?) where I have trouble finding documentation explaining how to do it. I am fairly intelligent, can read, and understand things. I was able to go from Win 95 to Win XP Pro by myself and get to a point where I could help others with their Windows problems. BUT, after a few months in SuSE 9.2, I don't think I will ever get to that point in Linux. I know I used to spend hours on the phone waiting to talk to a Microsoft tech support *live* human being. But it was worth it because I got specific answers to my specific question. I was willing to spend money to get the answers because I wanted to "use a computer". Simple reason, but one that was totally achievable with Windows and *live* tech support. IMHO only, THIS is where Linux needs to change. How on earth can a person like me begin to truly "understand" how Linux works if I cannot *talk* to someone who will lead me to even *ask* the *right* questions? I will pay for the help. But where do I get the help? I am quite serious about this post. Please feel free to contact me directly by email if you know answers to this. I have tried to find someone who is willing to spend time - for a fee - with me on the telephone to answer questions as they come up. I know of at least two other people who would do the same thing. I got them to try Linux, but they went back to Windows. This is the kind of help we new Linux users need. Thanks for listening. Andy PS: Another thing. I just tried to print out this email before I sent it to be sure it said what I wanted to say. Can't figure out how to print it before I send it. I saved it as a draft but still can't print it out. I am using Evolution in SuSE Pro 9.2. Andy

Firewire Drive Problems with Suse 9.1 Pro
by Stephen J. Scheck 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hello, I am having problems getting a Maxtor 5000DV Firewire drive to work with a system running Suse Linux 9.1 Pro. I have disabled subfs (by setting HOTPLUG_USE_SUBFS=no in /etc/sysconfig/hotplug) to simplify troubleshooting and I am mounting the drive manually. The problem is that when attempting to copy a large directory structure (~26 gb) from the firewire drive to the server, at some point in the middle, the drive "disappears" and the copy fails. The drive still shows up as mounted, but when I do an "ls" on the mount point, I get an empty directory. If I unmount and try to remount the firewire drive, mount tells me "/dev/sdc1 is not a block device". I have to reboot the system to get it to recognize the firewire drive again. This problem happens consistently - I can reproduce it every time I try. Following is some kernel syslog output that looks relevant to the problem. Any suggestions? Has anybody else got this drive working with Suse 9.1 Pro?

raid question
by Richard Bos 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

I'm looking into RAID, and as such I started to read the suse manual and the raid howto on the web. I still have some questions that someone on this list can answer. 1) Is it possible to add a soft raid after installation? The system I want to extend with raid (raid 1) is already up and running on single disk system (it has 2 disks). 2) How does one enable hardware raid. The motherboard has an onboard hardware raid controller. The controller does not really seem to be supported by linux (Promise 378). Anyway, I ask this out of interest ;) In case of hardware should it be done via the bios or completely different? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

squid helpers
by it clown 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hi All, I am having trouble testing the ntlm_auth helper for squid. When i run: ntlm_auth --helper-protocol= I get a list of helpers and squid-2.5-basic is listed. But when i run ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic mydomain+myuser mypasswd nothing happens i have to press ctrl+c. If i leave the helper out i get OK. What is cache_effective_user?

I WAS trying to install from source (I guess... I was doing the ./configure make routine in a terminal.) I guess I got off-track because when I searched for pkg-config in YaST I got "no results". So I went in search of the latest package stupidly not considering the fact that not ALL packages work with SuSE...I just found the most recent version and started trying to get it installed... stupid newbie mistake I guess. But I didn't find an .rpm for 9.2 on the DVD I burned from the iso download. Nothing on packman, or rpmfind either, but I did find a 9.1 version and installed it with no problems. Had all the same issues with libgnome, not on the 9.2 CD, so I got an .rpm of that too...for SuSE... Now Firefox 1.0.1 has installed and is working nicely. Gotta go look at Jeff's answer closely too so I can learn a little more.... Thanks for the push guys. In a world without walls or fences, who needs Windows or Gates?

DSL problem
by Your Name 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

I just got DSL today. The modem is working from the server with only minor annoyances. However, I can't seem to access the internet from other linux (9.0) I'm suspecting some kind of a routing/gateway problem. I had to change the IP for my server box to 192.168.0.2 from 192.168.0.1 because the modem wants to be 192.168.0.1. I added a 2nd NIC as 192.168.0.3. I've setup the gateway on all my boxes as 192.168.0.2 I can ping everything on my internal network, but everything outside gets errors (unable to find host) Any clues?? Thanks, Jim
