Unfortunately, it is giving me some problems right now. I think one of the hard drives failed, and now I appear to be having a problem with the older firmware on the RAID care, but I ...

Okay, I booted off a slightly older Gentoo CD (the same one I used to install).

I loaded the doscsi thing because the 3ware card imitates a SCSI drive. Once in, I tried running fdisk. The only drive it could find was /dev/hda, the CD drive (I believe). It returned no responses for /dev/sda ...

Okay, I'll try the boot disk tomorrow.

It loads into RAM and doesn't affect the hard drives, does it? Also, it will take me to a command prompt after loading, correct?

Yeah, the /boot is on the RAID array. Everything was put on that. It must work somewhat if it can load Grub and part of the kernel ...

Howdy.

My new Gentoo server was running well for a few months (it had an uptime of like 60+ days). However, when I got back from a vacation on Sunday, it wasn't responding to SSH, Samba, or anything else. This has happened once before. So, I do a hard shut down and bring a monitor and keyboard to ...

I've tried chmodding it to 755, with no luck. What user name should it be under? Currently it is chowned with my user and group.

After given up with the ebuild, I tried installing Apache2 from source. I still get the same problem. Here is my error log:

[Thu Feb 12 22:49:31 2004] [error] [client ...

Okay, I just tried that (modifying it to use my paths) and it didn't work.

BTW, here are my permissions for the www directory, is this correct?

Thanks,
Andrew

No, I am not subscribed. However, if you send it in, I would love to hear the results.

No, unfortunately, I haven't figured it out yet. However, I haven't been trying very much the last few days. My friend suggested I just install from the Apache souces (not using ebuilds). I would love to hear of anyone that has had success.

Andrew

PS: Thanks for the bump .

Hello. I just installed and configured OpenLDAP. I am following the Gentoo LDAP documentation and have gotten stuck on the migration steps. All the LDIF files have been succesfully created by migrationtools, but when I try to run ldapadd, I get this error message:

Hello all. I have a few day old thread in here about some problems with Apache 1.3.29. Since then, I decided to stop trying to swim against the tide and I upgraded to Apache2 with a fresh config.

The server worked just fine with minimal changes to the configuration settings, but things screwed up ...

Do you have any lines like this?
Andrew

Two other things to mention, not sure if they are important. First, I emerged apache as root. Could that be causing problems?

Second, in the config file, I have Apache set to run with user apache and grou p apache. There wasn't originally a user named apache (even though that has been the setting ...

Well, I am running Apache1 and this is part of commonapache.conf:

<Directory /home>

#
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't ...

Hello. I am running Apache 1.3.29. I trasfered, by hand, the virtual hosts from my old computer to this new Gentoo one. However, I have a problem. Whenever I point my browser to the web server, it gives me 403 Forbidden. If I request / or /index.html, it still says forbidden. This is what I get in ...

Hello all. I am planning on building a server and I was hoping for some input on the specs. I just want to make sure that everything will work with Gentoo. Have you had any problems or do you have complaints with the following hardware under Gentoo?:

3ware 7500-8 IDE RAID controller

MSI K7D ...

What version of squirrelmail are you using? Inbox used to be very slow with a few thousand e-mails in 1.2.x, but then I upgraded to 1.4.0 rc2 and everything is fast. If you aren't running 1.4, you might want to consider upgrading.

Awesome, it works, thanks. Everyone on this forum is helpful. Thanks .

I have a second question, when we load kdm, we can login, but it doesn't use KDE. It uses a really ugly window manager with just one terminal windows.

Thanks again,
Andrew

My .xinitrc file contains "exec kde". When I try to run startx, I get the error "/root/.xinitrc: line 1: exec: kde: not found". Also, when I load kdm, it doesn't list KDE as an option and, when someone logs in, it gives a really ugly interface with just one terminal window. Any help would be greatly ...

These helped, thanks.

I have installed the latest versions of xfree and kde. When I use startx or kdm, the desktops come up and are larger than the monitor. When I get to the edge of the screen, the desktop scrolls. How can I fix this? Thanks,
Andrew

PS: I am using an NVIDIA GeForce 2 with the nvidia drivers installed.

Sorry, a reboot fixed. Hmm, that sounds like a Windows solution .

Andrew

Hello. I emerged xfree and configured it using the Desktop Environment documentation. However, when I type startx, it says "-bash: startx: command not found". What is wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Thanks, it works now.

Yeah, I used "chroot / /bin/bash".

We just finished installing 1.4rc2 from stage 1. We set the root password before rebooting. However, due to some problems, we were unable to unmount the partitions and we had to do a cold reboot. We booted off the hard drive and everything went okay until we got to the log in prompt. We tried root ...
