this is a quick howto for setting up protected directories on your newly installed apache webserver (thanks to michael on IRC for help with this).

 

first of all you'll need to decide what directory you want to protect, in the example below we are going to protect a directory called /usr/local/apache/htdocs/private

 

you can also assume in this example that we are serving webpages from /usr/local/apache/htdocs/

 

also to note:

 

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_access.html mod_acess is also required for using .htaccess

 

e.g.

Quote:## Controls who can get stuff from this server.

#

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

After extracting mysql, moving it into /usr/local/src, cding into it and then doing :

 

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \--localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data \--disable-maintainer-mode \--with-mysqld-user=mysql \--enable-large-files \--without-comment \--without-debug \--without-docs \--without-bench

 

 

i get the following error: (not allowing me to complete configure)

 

checking for termcap functions library... configure: error: No curses/termcap library found

 

i tried doing apt-get intsall termcap-compat but that didnt work. I still receieved the error. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So far everything I have installed on my new Fedora machine has been an RPM. I am now working on installing Apache/MySQL/PHP using the instructions in Anyweb's tutorial (btw its been great so far!) I'm getting up to the point of compiling, and I do not have a compiler, cc or gcc. I've read several things, tried installing GCC from an RPM I found on google, but it did not work. I'm not sure if it's installed or not.

 

Does anyone know of a working GCC RPM I can use? Is it possible to get a compiler on a machine that doesn't have one to begin with?

 

Thanks in advance.

I've been skulking around this site for a few weeks now, soaking up loads of good information. I came here on a Windows 2000 machine, and I am now making my first post here on a Fedora Core 1 machine. I am loving every minute of it so far. Getting this box up and going hasn't been anywhere close to smooth, but I enjoy a good challenge B) Anyway, I just thought I would finally post and introduce myself before I start making threads.

 

Thanks,

Justin

i installed them by pointing to the actual driver and doing it manually

 

in device manager right click on the display adapter, choose properties, update driver, don't choose (manual) and then point it to the inf file - next next next and reboot :)

 

worked fine and now it ROX video wise

 

see screenshot :)

 

cheers

I need some help, i installed openssh via a tarball and would like to 'uninstall it' and reinstall the rpm from the distro.

thanks
