Hello all, Could someone tell me how to find as which user PHP5 is run in SUSE 10.1. In which file it is set like the way the user and group who runs webserver is mentioned in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and in uid.conf. I need the user which runs PHP5 to set up a vacation mail plugin for squirrel mail.

[opensuse] Root's password
by Basil Chupin 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

The manual seems to indicate that once the password for the root has been fed into the system during installation then it cannot be changed by any means. I would like to change my (root) password. Can this be done? Or do I need to reinstall the whole sheebang?

You might do "make install" instead. There is one gotcha: when you did the modules_install phase, without changing the name, it means that your new modules overwrote the old modules: /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.1-default <-- original suse modules /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.1-cer <-- my modules If you don't change the name at compile times, the default tree is overwritten. You probably have by now a mixed up tree. It might be that your problem, I'm not sure. - -- Saludos Carlos E.R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGAYNQtTMYHG2NR9URAnuEAJ0Z4WmpLDNByZ1+tvw1DPoML7K2AwCeM37J jA+w7D4riG8iguw1l6iHu4g= =QTwA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I had some problems with menu.lst and got the main ones figured out, moved kernel to ist position and failsafe last. Problem is fail safe boots to the kde desktop unless I type init 3 on the command line of the logon screen. Does your work correctly (boot to terminal). I tried command from old menu.lst and changed kernel info but it still goes to kde desktop. Could you post your failsafe info if it works correctly. Mine is: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: failsafe### title Failsafe -- opensuse 10.2 root (hd1,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.1-default root=/dev/hdb5 vga=normal showopts ide=nodma apm=power-off acpi=off noresume nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 edd=off 3 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-0.1-default Thanks -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] help about php5 and utf8
by jdd 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

Hello. I wrote last year a php script to create photo dvd's with comments, using the exif comments. example of the result: http://media.dodin.free.fr/galerie_photo_web/public/dvd/index.html manual in french http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/CEDA now, with php5, I have minor problems. the accents are no more displayed correctly. I know little about php - I use this language because I started with a php script from an other source (but had then, alas, to rewrite it almost entirely). I've seen some words about configuring a module to have utf8, but don't really understand it $texte = wordwrap($texte, $nbrecaracteresparlignesiimghorizontale, "\n", 1); echo $texte."\n"; prints the text _with_ the accents, but ImageTTFText($img_out,$tailletexte,$angletexte,$textex,$textey,$couleurtexte,$nomdelapolicetexte,$texte); gives an image with utf8 displayed as iso (I beg) http://fr2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php says: Strings in UTF-8 encoding can be passed directly. any idea? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Le manuel d'optique de Lucien Dodin http://lesprismes.free.fr/optique/index.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
