 Try the apache logs - what error do you get?  If that's rectified, your
 problem is solved

Boot in with a bootdisk (or your linux CD) and verify

1. Is lilo installed (rpm -qa|grep lilo)
2. Is lilo configured properly?  (there should be a file /etc/lilo.conf ...)

Remeber when you install OS, dumbest first. dos/95/98->w2k/NT->linux.

Boot from linux CD or boot disk so that you can boot in linux and run lilo. 
Problem is 98 has overwritten your MBR and you need to restore it.

Hai,

	boot ur machine into linux through a boot floppy. add windows to
your lilo.conf and run lilo.

That is the root of all your trouble. Any M$ OS, will ( without asking you)
overwrite your MBR. So you r LILO just got overwritten with NT Loader.

Things you can do.

Boot into Linux ... ( use CD / floppy )
Do a fdisk <your_disk> to see what partition Linux thinks Windows is on. Then
go make the required entry for Windows in you lilo.conf file and install lilo
on MBR.

or  Boot into Windows NT/98   ( iam not sure if you can do the following with
98 -- but with NT you can do it )
Download the program BOOTPART.EXE ( from http://www.bootpart.com ). Run bootpart and
let it take a look at your partitions. Use bootpart to create a Linux bootfile
on your D:\  drive and add the linux entry in the D:\BOOT.INI file  ( bootpart
does this automatically I think ). Next time you boot NT loader will give you
the Linux boot option also.

... if only NT/98 was to be a bit more polite.

Cheers

just a minor correcton shridhar, W2K (Advanced Server) does not 
overwrite the MBR. :)

 Except Windows 2000 Advanced Server, apparently.

ObHumor: I was reading a w2k security advisory abt DoS / compromise exploits
in W2K telnet ("download patch for now, it'll be integrated into SP3")

So, the FAQ on that page asks "Doesn't this problem sound familiar?", to
which the answer is "Yes, something quite similar came up in the win2k ftp
service some weeks back".

Someone at M$ sure has a sense of humor ... or else just catch them admitting
something like this :)

Umm. No it was 98

It's 95/98 that gives trouble. I had installed NT/w2k after linux is 
installed. They don't touch boot loader.

You got me wrong. Reread my sentence.

> Remeber when you install OS, dumbest first. dos/95/98->w2k/NT->linux.

Nowhere I said w2k writes MBR. In fact NT/W2K doesn't. That's what I wrote in 
other post just a second back..

I think NT does. I don't know about W2K though, anyway I am not coming anywhere
near that thing. I prefer my servers on  linux, freeBSD.

Hey !!!!   something seems wrong with this phrase " Win2K Advanced Server "  ....

I guess that's the best marketing phrase you can come across. Selling 'NT 
under the hood' for five different price level, least being twice that of NT 
itself.

It has to be a good marketing machine to do that...

Kingsly

least bothered about it!  this is what the label on the CD said!  
and i thought it would be best to mention it clearly lest other 
flavors of WIN2K might be overwriting the MBR (for all i knew)!

"The forensic challenge"
A fascinating forensic case study - that's what you'll find in this
Network Magazine article, which examines the aftermath of a Linux
system which was deliberately set up as hacker bait, discovered by
hackers, and compromised by hackers -- specifically to give the
analysts an opportunity to track hacker behavior.  Read the piece and
you'll find their analysis, an examination of the hacker's tools of
trade, and some discussion of the underlying implications.  (May 7,

yes very well. i am using a script called rm_secure. the
files which are deleted using rm will be compressed and
placed in lost+found. the various options available with
rm_secure are

Usage: /bin/rm [OPTION]... FILE...
Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).
(rm_secure)

-n, --nosecure    delete without backup
--viewtrash       list the saved files
--emptytrash      erase the saved files
-s, --restore     restore the specified files

put the script in /usr/local/bin. add alias
rm='/usr/local/bin/rm_secure' in Ur .bashrc. that's all for a
safe-delete. mail me off-list if you want the script.

Now for your very first lesson on linux.... unlike windows... if you
manage to get linux installed and running (booting up and able to login
etc) ... there's no magic that can happen by just re-installing it... only
Microsoft can come up technology that can do that kind of magic !(ie.,
doing the *same* process 10 times can result in 10 *different* results!)

Now coming to your problem... *speed*/system slowness .... it has
something to do with your power management system. 

check the output of "dmesg" and you might find a message telling you that
if you experience system slowness you may have to pass some extra
parameters while booting up the kernel.(post those lines if you need help
on howto pass the parameters!)

And some other members on the list managed to overcome this by playing
around with their BIOS settings and switching from ACPI to APM or APM to
ACPI (dont remember which way... but since there are only two options that
you'd find under power management systems in your BIOS.. just switch to
the other one and your system should start zooming like it should)

Kingsly

PS: This is the Linux India *HELP* list... so add a more descriptive
subject line!

Hi!

Yes,Mr.Kingsly... it worked!Just  turned off the ACPI and enabled APM,and
system get faster than earlier.It got near about 20-25% more speed than
earlier.Can some one tell me how it happened?


Thanks and Regards,

Pradeep.

ACPI support for linux is still under development... while APM has been
around for a long time and is really mature. So that should be the
reason... bugs in the ACPI implementation.(but it's improving really
fast... I use ACPI and it has some features that I like.. pressing the
power button causes the system to do a init 0 ! ... and some others that I
don't like... like it doesn't power down my ATX cabinet :(

Install sendmail.  Read http://www.sendmail.org/faq/ and configure it.
Set up MX and A records in DNS.  Having PTR records for that IP also helps.

Your local lan is behind NAT right?  Just use configure your ftp client to
use passive ftp.  From a linux box you can give the pasv / passive command
(ncftp etc clients support it).

Or else in cuteftp or other windows ftp clients it is a checkbox you have to
tick in the options menu.

Why is linuxconf called a broken tool and why can't it be used to configure
your system, like send mail?

Fix your subject line.  A subject that just says help will often not get 
any.

This is flame bait. Try yourself but if you trust some guy for his experience 
and he says don't use linuxconf, don't use it(No offense gals but there are 
hardly any around here). At least for very serious use...

It's great if you want to generate a working prototype and then study it(I did 
it for making caching dns work when I was on ETH. It made my browsing 50% 
faster..). But don't take it granted as ulimate tool on earth...

Ok, Linuxconf is one of those things that looks easy, but works on just
the wrong rulesets. It will basically use a very old mc file to generate
your sendmail rulesets, and that converts sendmail into an open relay.
You can change the mc file, but it is easier to just learn to use the
right mc file and m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf manually.
It will mess up your carefully made config files, remove all comments
and reformat them so you have no idea of what is happening.
Linuxconf will reconfigure stuff, even when it should not, just because
it wants to (just like Windows).
If you want a pretty interface, I suggest using webmin, from webmin.com

Otherwise use your favorite $(TEXT_EDITOR) to create the required config
files, and you get to learn a lot more that way too.
Note that a word processor should not be used.

In particular, don't 

1. Try to use linuxconf AND tweak settings by hand
2. Try to use linuxconf on a production server (or anything that's on the
internet for significant amounts of time, with a static or nearly static IP)

Yours is a rather old system and it cannot take most of the
newer distros. You need to stick to Kernel-2.2.x, and since
you do not have much disk space (1gb),  restrict the number
of apps (and specially X apps) on the box. The distros that
are likely to run smoothly on this box are:

a) Debian potato 
b) Slackware 7.1 or less
c) RH 6.2 or less
d) SuSE 6.4 or less

The easiest to run would be SuSE, since it has the  driver
for the xsis card for XFree 3.x.

Avoid anything with kernel 2.4.x. Keep of KDE or gnome.You
would be better off with fvwm2 or blackbox as the wm.

Just my 2p.

sir,

        I am a student learning  Redhat linux 7.2. I have 
installed one independent linux workstation and one  linux server 
running side by side with windows 98. the installation was quite 
successfull.now i have a problem in establishing network 
connectivity between these two
Linux machines(RedHat 7.2).

I can ping between these two machines and also i can connect to 
server from client by using ssh.

problem found:

1.   While trying to connect the server from client by using 
rlogin and rcp command, --connection refused error came.

2.   while trying to connect server from client using telnet the 
same error is occuring, ie connection refused.


3.  while trying to  mount a folder on server from client using 
NFS same error is reporting

                Please send me details regarding connectivity 
between a linux workstation and a linux server(REDHAT 7.2) and how 
to use telnet, rlogin, rcp, and NFS.Also send me details on how to 
access fat16,32 and NTFS file systems on dual OS machines. Please 
tell me details how to enable these in linux networks.

Is there any other methods to login to a linux machine
 from another linux machine?

                                Thanking you,
                                Jajish Thomas,

check whether the telnet and rlogin services are running on the
server.  Simplest way to do this is by running ntsysv on the
server and see whether rlogin, telnet is checked.

> 3.  while trying to  mount a folder on server from client using

solution in ntsysv again.  check whether nfs has been checked.

Hi,
	Did you create any new partition or did you move your harddisk (like
making it master or slave. I mean changing the hd to some different
IDE). If you have done so, then its the problem.

Information is too scanty to understand the  problem.  Kindly
post the following:

a) Hard Disk details and partitioning strategy (viz. fdisk -l)
b) Your multiple boot mechanism.
c) Does it boot through your emergency boot disks ?

Software should be Linux compatible. Available at http://rpmfind.net,
http://freshrpms.net and http://freshmeat.net You might try to run some
"Windows" applications in Linux using "Wine" or WineX

>Q2- Can a Linux system be configured to log on to an NT Domain..

Yes. Read up at http://www.samba.org and http://www.tldp.org

no .. u have to use software compatible with linux ... but that goes
for any type of OS ... u might have limited success with emulators
like wine and dosemu or maybe products like bochs and vmware and

ofcourse .. use samba for that

Follow the advice on the Intel site. You need to change the Video Memory 
setting in Bios and you can get 1024X768 in 16-bit. But its not perfect 
(namely, onec you go switch the graphics mode or go from graphics to text 
mode, it will not come back to graphics mode). If you can work with 
development version of XFree86 the problem shoule go away. I have not had the 
time to try it out.

Java automatically looks in your current directory. If you still want to
explicitly set /foo/bar as classpath, put this in your .bash_profile
(assuming you use Bash)

export CLASSPATH=/foo/bar:$CLASSPATH

This is the first hit from a google search for "changing mysql root 
password"

http://www.psoft.net/HSdocumentation/sysadmin/mysql_pass.html

	srs

[vinu@... vinu]$ man mysqld

       -Sg|--skip-grant-tables
              This option causes the server not to use the privilege system at
              all.  This gives everyone full access to all databases! (You can
              tell a running server to start using the grant tables  again  by
              executing mysqladmin flush-privileges or mysqladmin reload.)


Start mysqld server with this option.


G.Vinubalaji

Try 

Mysql  -h hostname  -u root -p


When asked for password just press enter.

That will work only if the mysql root password has not been changed.
In that case just typing mysql(when logged in as root)
 should lead to a mysql prompt.

The original poster has forgotten the root password and needs to 
reset it.

So the only option is to start mysql server without the privilige 
system and reset the password as required by changing the
users table in mysql.

Second time you asked, friend ... you got a lot of replies (and 
searching google for "change mysql root password" gets you a ton of hits 
- just click the first one)

Dear friends,

I am facing one problem.  I used fsck -A and click Yes
to everything.  After completion of the operation i
restart my computer.  After restarting i got one
message and the system is not booting.

The message is

"kernel panic : No init found.  Try passing
init=option to kernel"

Can you please let me know the solution resolve this
problem.

Thank u in advance to get the help from you.

regards

prasanna

How were you doing this fsck? You are supposed to unmount the partition
you want to fsck and then fsck it. So what/where did you "click" "yes"??

Pass something sane to your bootloader...
like root=/dev/deviceforROOT init=/bin/bash

Respected Sir,

 I'm thaddeus from india. I've been using windows xp since a pretty long time and now i'm thinking over to switch to linux. Frankly telling you in gujarat we rarely use licensed versions of windows because the vendor's from who we buy our assembled PC's they themselves install the OS and could copy cd's for us and give us free of charge. You won't imagine we have more than 10,000 users in our city who use pirated versions of windows. It's very easy getting a pirated version you won't imagine less then 50 Rs. Moreover we don't face any problems with these softwares. Only companies like compaq, hcl etc give licensed versions while local hardware guys could give it at dirty cheap rates. I don't know of any anti-piracy squad that I could complain to in India. If you any idea obout such a group then please do let me know at the earliest.

Sir, i'm thinking over to switch to linux. I've heard that redhat is the best for trying out. In our city there are no people using linux  and all are afraid of using linux as no one knows anything about it. 
 I even don't know where to look for linux that's why i decided to seek your help. I've been to local vendors but they say that linux is not used by the home user so we don't keep copies of linux. 
  I don't have an internet connection at home so it's difficult for me to download the whole linux setup from any website. 
 Would it be possible for you to send me a cd of any version of linux (suse,fedora,PCQlinux2005)? I'm keenly interested to work with linux and I really want to experience it for the first time. If given a chance to promote linux then it would be my greatest previlage.
 I would be very obliged if you could send me a cd of linux (home edition / desktop edition). Even an old version will do as you might not be giving free distributions.
  I'm making this request as I don't have access to the internet all the time. It would be a great favor on me if you could send me the CD.
   I hope you will consider my case and give me a favorable reply at the earliest.
Looking forward to hear from you at the earliest.
Yours truly,
Thaddeus Fernandes

Buddy, this is an informal group. You don't have to write as if it is
your class X letter writing exam :) Something along the lines of "I
want to switch to Linux, can someone send me CDs for a distro please?"
would do equally well.

Well, LIH does not probably have the coverage of your local LUG; your
best bet is to try the LUG listings at http://www.linux-india.org/ and
look up the one closest to you. I can see an Ahmedabad LUG listed - I
suggest you ask there for CDs. You probably ought to start with Fedora
Core4, but that is simply my opinion.

If Ahmedabad LUG doesn't work out, then try the Mumbai one - which is
very vibrant and helpful (first-hand experience). Or Pune. Somebody or
other will certainly be willing to send you CDs.

And while you are at it, maybe you should start a Bhavnagar LUG. CD
swapping, chai-samosa-discussion sessions etc. to begin with :) I'm
sure Bhavnagar can use its own LUG. There is a LUG-HOWTO somewhere,
look it up.
