What are the standard, common PHP extensions that should be enabled when configuring a new php installation? I need ldap so I know I should include that, but what do most LAMP servers configure with their PHP installs?
View 2 RepliesSo I have the burned ubuntu CD, and I'm attempting to install it on a system that has one HDD with XP/Vista on it, and another that is completely formatted and unpartitioned. However, when I boot to the ubuntu CD, I can use the menus from the bottom, and select the language when initially prompted, but I can't select any of the menu options except for boot from first hard drive.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to build minimal php and mysql binaries. While doing so, I realize that there is no documentaries to state whether does compiling straight from the source without any configurations options set, ensure an optimized yet minimal build? I am trying out for my own personal website which will be powered by Wordpress 3. The previous method I used was using the package manager: "apt-get install php-cgi php5-cgi php5-cli php5-mysql mysqld mysql-server mysql mysql-client". I am trying out to mimic the binaries installed by the package manager through building from the sources instead. How do I know what configuration options did those repositories developers used? Is there any special configuration options used for those minimal yet optimized binaries? Does doing the following ensure a minimal build?:
1) ./configure
2) make
3) install
I figured since I did not use any configuration options, therefore it should be a minimal build right (Meaning the bare-bones)?
I made a mistake in Gnome Disk utility tool. Instead of changing the options for a USB key, I changed the options of the root partition.
In Initial state, automatic options were desactivated. I just activated them. And after desactivacting them, I realized my mistake and switched back to "non automatic options".
By doing this, I suppose that defaults values were used since now, the system starts in command line mode and no more in graphic interface mode.
When I try the "startx" command, I get a "read-only" error.
With the command "sudo mount -o rw,remount /" the graphic interface is started.
Below is the configuration of the partition under the gnome disk utility tool :
"Mount at startup" is checked
"Show in user inteface" and "Require additional authorization to mount" are unchecked
Mount options : nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show
Mount point : /mnt/eb11d4d6-75db-XXXx-XXXx
Identify as : /dev/disk/by-uuid/eb11d4d6-75db-XXXx-XXXx
Filesystem type : auto
I do not want to change anything that could leat to a critical error. So what do you think I should do ?
I'm running Testing and need to pass some parameters to my bttv tv tunner card, for this reason I created the following file /etc/modprobe.d/kozumi.conf with this content:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options pll=1 radio=1 bttv_verbose=1 card=151 tuner=38 gbuffers=4
The problem is that for some reason this options aren't properly set after booting the computer, I've tried different combinations for line 1 and 2 without success.
I'm used to rmmod the bttv driver and modprobe manually with those settings but I'd like to automate the process.
I'm having some trouble understanding the smartd configuration options which go in /etc/smartd.conf. I've had smartd running for close to a year now, and read the manual page for smartd and smartd.conf several times, and I still can't get my head around it properly. This is what I use in smartd.conf:
/dev/sda -H -f -S on -o on -n standby,q
-s (O/../.././(00|06|12|18)|S/../.././11|L/../../(3|6)/21)
-m <nomailer> -M exec /usr/sbin/smartd_mailer
The above works fine (I use a custom script because I use exim). However, I had two failing hard-disks on two different machines (sector pending attribute) - but I would only receive warning emails if I restarted the machines - not when the periodic tests were being performed. I have a number of questions, if any of you would like to share some light on this:
1. It is not clear from the manual page how the monitoring and alerting mode works. Do I get an initial email when I start smartd if something is wrong, and then no other warning email after each scan, even if there is a fault, unless the fault goes worse?
2. Can I force it to send me warning emails after each test (offline, online, short, long etc.) if the fault condition is still there, even if it hasn't gotten worse?
3. There seem to be a variety of parameters monitored. I was thinking that if I monitor bad sectors, and the hdd temperature - it should be enough to warn me when the hard-disk is failing? Would the -a switch in smartd.conf cover these?
4. I don't understand the difference between monitoring and logging in relation to alerts? Do I get alerts only if I log things?
5. Do I understand correctly that the -p and -u switch would warn me of *any* changes in SMART attributes, even if they don't represent risk of failure?
6. Is there a way of finding out if the scheduled tests (offline, long, short etc.) have been performed?
Do I need to add any special options to mkinitrd for AHCI configuration?

I need to add an option to my xorg.conf to enable "backing store", like this:
Section "Device"

Driver "miserable"
Option"BackingStore""True"

But I don't have an xorg.conf file in Natty. There are several conf files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/, but I'm not sure which one to add it too (I can't find the Device section in any of them). I guess I don't even know if the "BackingStore" option is valid in the latext Xserver.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have windows7 with partition of C:40G, D:40G, E:70.I want to install fedora15,so I use the tool "Disk Management" of win7 to shrink E:.Then I have E:60G and 10G unallocated.
I use Liveusb-creator and boot from usb.It works well and I can use fedora15 just like livecd.But when I install fedora to hard disk,I meet a problem and I don't know how to solve it.
The installation procedure comes "Which type of installation would you like?".There's five options 1."Use All Space" 2."Replace Existing Linux System" 3."Shrink Current System" 4."Use Free Space" 5."Create Custom Layout".I've already got 10G unallocated space,so I select "Use Free Space".But the problem is that the fedora installer popups a messagebox says something that means that I don't have enough space to allocate to fedora15.
I come back to "Which type of installation would you like?" and select "Create Custom Layout".The installer display 4 entries of my hard disk:sda1 unknown 0M, sda2 100M windows remain partition, sda3 with capacity 39900M, sda4 with capacity 112625M.The partition display of my hard disk is so strange and there is no free space.
Is the problem of win7 "Disk Management" or "Fedora Installer"? How can I really get some free space to install fedora15?
I just bought an Acer Aspire 7535-5415 laptop with Windows 7. I have burned ubuntu onto a cd.

I've tried both a cd that I burned and an official cd I picked up in the computing science department at my university. The same thing happens in both cases.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running the RedHat 7.3 install off a CD to put the system on an IDE flash drive. The flash drive appears as /sda1 on my system during installation. When I install the bootloader from the install CD it gives me the option of MBR on /hda which I do not want do. I select /sda1 and it puts the bootloader on first boot sector (not the MBR?) Although the installation works, is what I am doing creating a bootable primary hard drive? The flash IDE drive needs to be installed in an embedded system so my installation options are very limited i.e. the system does not have a CD-ROM or floppy to boot from. Are there options to put GRUB on the MBR of /sda1 during installation? Such as, with fdisk or the "force disk primary" option? Or, doesn't it matter?

View 4 Replies View RelatedBeen a while since I've been on here, but I was using Fedora 12 for the longest time and only recently started having problems. I kept getting errors and pop-up dialogs telling me to run yum-complete-transaction, which I tried as root many times. It would then give an error that it couldn't locate the repository and such. So, I looked through all my yum config files and changed a few things until I FINALLY got the command to do something, only it did all kinds of strange things as I was running low on EXT3 disk space and using old Windows' partition to store a lot of things on.
Now, I backed up all the /home directories and files as well as /root, just in case this didn't go smoothly and I still ran out of disk space. If I had the money, I'd buy a storage stick and just back up everything, but that's not an option at the moment. Now I have a crippled version of XP (pretty much useless from a trojan, even though I had McAfee AND Windows Defender running), and half of Fedora 12 with 2 different boot images! When I first did this, I used a 10G partition to install Fedora, which was plenty then. What's left of Win still resides on about 65G of space, but I have a lot of files there I want to keep. Fisrst thing I want to know is, should I look anywhere else on the Fedora disk to find files I may need, just in general? There's still a LITTLE space on the drive to back up stuff if I need to.
Second, while I still had enough to work with, I managed to download and burn a F14 Live CD, which is running now. I saw the option on the desktop to install it, and can get my config files and such from the backups if need be. I do NOT have a DVD burner, so if I have to I can use regular 700MB CDs, but only if they are available.The next thing I need to know is if I can install F14 from the web, without having to download any more ISOs, (again, assuming they are available). I know all my DSL settings so that's not a problem, I just need to find out if I can install it that way before I go clicking that icon. Anyone with experience with this would be helpful. I'm ready (MORE than ready) to go through with it, I just don't want to get "stuck" once I start the process. My download rate is around 200k/sec, so it's going to take some time no matter which way I (can) go.
Finally took the plunge and got myself an OCZ 32GB SSD for my main desktop. I'm getting some mixed info on the 'best' (and I know thats a personal option in the end) configuration for partitions, ect..
Here are my specs:
AMD Phenom x4
4GB 800MHz Ram
nVidia geForce 9500w/512MB
[code]....
but as for the partitions such as /var and the others, I'm not sure what the best options would be to get the best bang for my buck. Also, is a swap file required anymore, will I see an appreciable different in performance if I just did not use one? If I need one, should it be on the SSD or one of the other drives?
my two partitions (ubuntu and WinXP) worked fine, i always had a boot option at startup. however, my Win boot option simply disappeared. I did not do any update recently, so I do not really understand what could have happened. My /media/windows is also completely empty. when i try to open the windows partition, it says "could not mount".
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've recently been trying to attempt to install Ubuntu on a partition on my macbook pro OS X 10.6.6. I have attempted to create a bootable USB stick (as I currently do not have any CD's/DVD's to use). I have followed the guide on the Ubuntu installation page twice, word for word, command for command. Everything goes flawlessly, all the files are visible on the drive when I checked, and I have never received any errors in the terminal. The problem arises when I attempt to boot from the USB, it simply does not appear under the options when I attempt to boot. I have also checked the Start up Disk under system preferences.
I have attempted the installation on two different USB sticks, and the same problem on both, flawless to install to USB, but then it is somehow not booting. I have checked with the USB company and directly from the website it says that the PNY attache is capable of this. It is the 4GB model.
I was recently trying to install Ruby from source, due to needing and older version and having yum acting up on me. The problem is, the executable is being installed to /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin. I figure there's probably a way to change the install directory at some point during the configure/make/make install process, but there's no man page for these functions, and Google has not been kind.
Thus, my questions are twofold:
1) Does anyone have any good documentation (ideally, with examples/explanations) of command line parameters available for configure and make?
2) Failing that, can anyone tell me in specific how to install a source code's compiled executable to a specific directory?
