Hello linuxer,

My system right now is dual booting, winXP and suse8.0. The winXP use NTFS partition. How can I set suse8.0, so it can read the ntfs partition from windows. I've tried to mounting the ntfs partition, but failed. I've heard that another new released distro - like mandrake 9.0 - could read ntfs partition.

Please, give me step by step information, because I'm still newbie on linux

Cross-posting is bad netiquette.

The fast way: su - ** input root password fdisk -l ** identify what partition is windows/ntfs; will call it /dev/hdaX mount -t ntfs /dev/hdaX /mnt ls /mnt

The elegant way: mkdir /mnt/ntfs add to /etc/fstab /dev/hdaX /mnt/ntfs ntfs noauto,user,mode=0777 0 0 I'm not sure that mode=0777 will be exactly what you want, but try it.

Just a request for notification.... I used to run red hat with Kernel 2.4.18 and with that I needed to re-compile the kernel to support any NTFS-functionalities. Luckily I have moved along from those days, removed all Windowses from my computer and need no NTFS mounts anymore, but just out of curiosity, is Suse 8.0 pro really capable of mounting NTFS partitions "right-out-of-the-box". If this is the case, must admit that Suse really ROCKS.. (although we all propably know that already by now) P_tr

Hello! I'm a bit confused.. I just got my SuSE 8.1 pro box in the mail and started to install it, I thought I'd go for Apache2 instead of 1.3 and so I chose it for install. Now then, I can't install PHP4 because it's dependant of Apache 1? This seems a little strange I think... Is the way to go to download PHP from php.net and compile myself, or can I safely ignore any dependencies that YaST is complaining about? Regards, Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

I do not think Suse 8.1 Apache2 works with mod_php package.

I have compiled both Apache2 and Php4 myself to get them working. It is not that difficult, though:

1) download apache2 and php4.2.3 source and unpack them, say under /usr/src/packages/SOURCES 2) cd to apache2 source dir (httpd-something), configure, make and install configure --enable-module=so make make install 3) php is a bit more complex due to the config switches that you might want to include, but the most important switch to get it working with apache2 is: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs make make install

Then read the INSTALL file and add the AddType things to apache2's httpd.conf file unser /usr/local/apache2/conf

I think the command is ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs I don't think PhP fully supports Apache2 yet, I am hoping the 4.3 version hopefully due out soon has full support. I know right now there are a few Apache2 related bugs in PhP 4.2.3 that will cause problem if you run SquirrelMail. I tried it out a while back and all my web apps worked fine except for SquirrelMail. The wait has been frustrating, it's not like Apache2 is the "bleeding edge" anymore. Good Luck, Josh
