"One major feature present in Fedora 9 will be the ext4 implementation. The new filesystem will not be the default for the distribution, but will be available for users and systems administrators to enable. New functionality includes larger capacities and online defragmentation, for better performance and more reliability. To find out more, we talked with Eric Sandeen, Fedora project member and filesystem developer at Red Hat."

  How do I remove Automatix2?
Posted by: jacatone - 2008-03-05, 10:57 PM - Forum: Just Starting Linux - Replies (1)

I installed Automatix2 because it seemed to have a lot of software Adept didn't have in Kubuntu 7.04. But the programs seems problematic. When I trying removing it with: "sudo aptitude remove automatix2", I get a "can't get a lock, are you root" answer. Anyone know how to remove this thing? Thanks.

  how to add GD support to PHP when compiling it...
Posted by: anyweb - 2008-03-04, 05:32 PM - Forum: LAMP - Replies (8)


ok i've just recompiled apache/mysql/php

 

and while recompiling php i wanted to add GD support

 

to add GD support for png and jpeg i used the following configure switches for php, making sure to first

 



Code:
yum install libpng and libjpeg




 

don't forget to make clean as below (it resolved my problem from multiple compiles)

 



Code:
make clean

./configure \--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \--with-gd \--with-jpeg-dir \--with-png-dir

make

make install




 

the configuration flags \--with-gd \--with-jpeg-dir=/usr \--with-png-dir=/usr add our GD support for Zenphoto (image gallery software, example here)

 

for troubleshooting php errors make sure to log them to your apache error_log

 

to do that, edit your php.ini file

 

vi /usr/local/lib/php.ini

 

find

 

Quote:; Log errors into a log file (server-specific log, stderr, or error_log (below)); As stated above, you're strongly advised to use error logging in place of

; error displaying on production web sites.

log_errors = Off
 

change to

 

Quote:; Log errors into a log file (server-specific log, stderr, or error_log (below)); As stated above, you're strongly advised to use error logging in place of

; error displaying on production web sites.

log_errors = on
 

restart apache and the php errors such as this will give you an idea of what is wrong in the first place

apologies for downtime today/yesterday but the server had to be updated (hardware wise) as I was seeing lots of file system error messages in dmesg like these ones... (and more..)

long story short, the same server (an old P3) had been serving up 5 websites including this one for the last 4 years or so and was well in need of replacing, and that I did today.

 

so far it seems ok, please notify me here (in this thread) of any problems you find with the server/posting

 

cheers

  LILO.conf bleep up
Posted by: Draven - 2008-03-01, 04:24 PM - Forum: Grub and Lilo - Replies (1)


Okay I was playing and I screwed up bad, I try'd to dual boot BT3 and XP Pro on my Toshiba Notebook and now I have this error (Invalid Partition Table). I try'd to Redo the LILO.conf but get a read-only system returned. Please help I have been working on this for 3 1/2 days I'm stumped. Thanks for any help.

 

I was installing Backtrack 3 beta, I followed remote-exploit's walk through but it was for BT2I resized the HDD partition to allow 16Gb for BT3. To resize the partition I used Partition magic 8. I used this walk through www.offensive-security.com/documentation/backtrack-hd-install.pdf. I followed these instructions to a T except I had windows installed already so I changed hda1 to hda2, hda2 to hda3 and so on. And last I used the backtrack installer and left all option at default except mount point from hda1 to hda2. I followed these directions and then the system bricked on me, the only thing I found that I could done wrong is on the Install i did not uncheck the option that said "Restore original MBR after LILO"

 

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

 

 

Josh
