Hello, does anyone know of companies in the Worcester area looking for people with programming/web/*NIX skills, or of a good place to find consulting type jobs? As in making a webpage, seting up servers, etc for somebody. I'm looking for something to put my knowledge to. Thanks, Orbitz

Re: [Wlug] apache

by Dan Potter

What distro are you using? Recent distros have set up some interesting firewall rules... If you are using RedHat 7.1, their default server install for some unknown reason rejects all SYN packets which are the start of a connection, and will cause Netscape to display the error you quoted (actually, RedHat only rejects incoming SYN packets to the lower 1024 "privileged" ports). You can check firewall rules on most distros using ipchains -L -n You can otherwise ping the server, right? If not, it might be a networking issue - make sure the client can see the server :) Good luck!

apache

by stith

i am trying to set up a server using apache. at this point i do not want it to be connected to the internet so i am trying to use a second computer to log on with. here is what i have set up: 1. server ip=192.168.1.1 ( i am using the ip and by-passing name resolution at this point). i can ping 192.168.1.1 from the server as well as localhost. i can also get the default html page up. the only changes i have made to http.conf is: a. Listen *:80 b. ServerName 192.168.1.1 c. i added the following <Directory "/var/www/html"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> i can ping from server to client and client to server. 2. client when i try to log on to the server, i get 'netscapes network connection was refused by the server 192.168.1.1. the server may not be accepting connections or may be busy.' any help would be appreciated jim stith

I am running SuSE 7.0 Different distributions put them in different places. /etc/inittab tells init where to look for the various files and whatnot. For example, Debian uses /etc/init.d/ for the actual scripts, and /etc/rcX.d for the various runlevels symlinks to the scripts, while RedHat, I believe, tosses everything in /etc/rc.d/ -- Aaron Haviland orion [at] tribble [dot] dyndns [dot] org orion [at] parsed [dot] net "Here I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall.

After rerunning vmware-config.pl vmware ran again. However I think there may be a conflict between vmware and Oracle because my system locked up again when I started Oracle and then started vmware. Also I noticed your boot scripts are in /etc/init.d/ while mine are in /sbin/init.d/. What would account for this difference?

Re: [Wlug] vmware crash

Hi Mike, On my system, there's a file, /etc/init.d/vmware, which gets invoked when the machine boots. There are links to the file, thus: /etc/init.d/rc3.d/K22vmware -> ../vmware /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S01vmware -> ../vmware The two kernel modules that you need are vmmon and vmnet. If you don't have these modules in /lib/modules/your_kernel_rev/misc, then you'll need to rerun vmware-config.pl. Now, that should solve the problem of why they're not loading upon boot. However, I have no idea why your system locked up in the first place. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

vmware crash

by Michael Long

Hi all, I have had vmware running on my system for a couple of weeks. Tonight when starting vmware my system locked up (no keyboard or mouse response) and I had to press the reset key. After bring the system up when I attempt to 'power on' vmware I get a message that says: Could not open /dev/vmnet0: No such device. How do I make this device available? After the reboot it was necessary to issue 'insmod vmmon'. Thanks, Mike
