All I've heard so far is that the quality is pretty crappy, ie: someone scanned the same bar code 5 times and didn't get the same value twice.

Cue Cats

by Adam Keck

Anyone play with these things (and associated Perl/php tools)? I just got 4 of 'em from a local Radio Shack for free. My coworkers and I are about to attempt to setup a backup tape tracking system with them. I was wondering if anyone had any comments on them. -Adam "lingua machinationis creo, ergo sum" _____________________________________________ Adam Keck The Mathworks 508-647-7298 Natick, Ma www.mathworks.com FreeNIX/Backup/Unix Administrator _____________________________________________

Re: [Wlug] Apache + PHP + Mozilla

by Peter Gutowski

You need to tell apache that index.php is a page to load as a 'DirectoryIndex'. In your httpd.conf file (mine is in /etc/httpd/conf on RHL 7.1) append index.php to the line that loooks like this: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml {.... maybe more things} so it should now read: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php (BTW, you can define other filenames to be handled in this way.)

Apache + PHP + Mozilla

by David Lee Ludwig

I'm currently trying to set up Apache and PHP4 under Debian woody. So far, I have Apache and php4 up and running (using apt-get retrieved binaries.) I can load php pages w/o problems, provided I specify the file directly. That is, the following URL will work: http://my.domain/some_dir/index.php but loading the following: http://my.domain/some_dir/ will result in Mozilla (0.9.5) giving me a download dialog box telling me: "You have chosen to download a file of type: application/x-httpd-php", which is followed by a choice to either pick a helper app or to save to disk. Any thoughts on how I would go about fixing this? -- David Ludwig | "The Linux philosophy is laugh in the face of davidl<at>wpi.edu | danger. Oops. Wrong One.

As seen at the last meeting...

by Phillip G Deneault

Chuck Anderson demo'd a PS-RISC system running Debian Linux. I have a similar system that I am offering up for sale. Its an HP 9000 model J210 than has: -2 PA-RISC 120mhz processors -1 gig of memory -2 four gig HVD SCSI drives -SCSI CD-ROM -An extra 10/100 ethernet NIC card(there is already one built in) -VGA adapter(although as Chuck pointed out, the display card isn't supported yet under Linux) -an external HVD SCSI interface as well as an external SCSI-2 interface It all works and currently has a version of HP-UX 11 that I need to wipe before selling it. As stated before, there is a working Linux kernel for it and it would make a great server or at the very least, a great hobby system. $250 or best offer Reply if your interested.
