Can anyone recommend a good freeware, GUI-based file transfer and shell program for Windows so that I can upload files to and run commands on my remote Linux webhost? Ideally I would like something along the lines of SSH Tectia Client, but I currently cannot afford the €136.62 price tag.

Thanks in advance.

Currently, my httpd server headers looks like:
Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) (Gentoo/Linux) mod_perl/1.27 PHP/4.3.10

How might I clean up the header a bit (so as to not let people know of all the modules I"m running)? Preferably, I'd like it to ONLY say Apache.

Probably a noob question, heh, sorry.

i think i'm the only person that ever posts here. ;)

again, i'm new to apache under linux, so this may be elementary...

how exactly do I enable mod_proxy in Apache2? I'm pretty certain I compiled it properly, but I get Invalid command 'RewriteEngine' in the error log from my [previously working on win32 apache] .htaccess file. I am presuming this is because mod_rewrite is not enabled.

I thought [though retrospectively incorrectly] that if I compiled Apache with --enable-MODULE it would automatically enable those modules. Is there something else I need to do?

Here's my ./configure script -- does it look right?
./configure -prefix=/usr/local/apache2 \
--enable-module=so \
--enable-module=auth_db \
--enable-module=digest \
--enable-module=example \
--enable-module=log_agent \
--enable-module=mime_magic \
--enable-module=usertrack \
--enable-module=auth_anon \
--enable-module=auth_digest \
--enable-module=cern_meta \
--enable-module=expires \
--enable-module=proxy \
--enable-module=unique_id \
--enable-module=vhost_alias \
--enable-module=auth_dbm \
--enable-module=headers \
--enable-module=info \
--enable-module=log_referer \
--enable-module=mmap_static \
--enable-module=speling \
--enable-module=rewrite

Thanks so much!

i'm trying to reinstall apache2 on fedora 3 because i failed to compile it with mod_rewrite. i configure it with:
./configure -prefix=/usr/local/apache2 \
--enable-cgi \
--enable-info \
--enable-rewrite \
--enable-speling \
--enable-usertrack \
--enable-deflate \
--enable-ssl \
--enable-so \
--enable-mime-magic \
--enable-mods-shared=most

now you may be wondering why that last line is there. primarily because i don't know what i'm doing. ;) i don't know what mods-shared=most includes, and i want to make sure it includes those that were explicitly stated.

when i do a make, it terminates after a minute with Error 1

now, i did not 'uninstall' the previous version of apache because it didn't have a make uninstall and i thought it would just overwrite the necessary files when i did a make install. any help is appreciated!

Of late I have been planning to setup a webserver¹, running off of a box built from the old parts of my newly upgraded pc over my cable connection to the 'net. I don't like windows (3.1/95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP) as a OS for running a webserver²,or any other related activity, so I planned to go with linux. I had a hardcopy of good 'ol SuSE (6.1 kernel) but upon installing it, I found that what was good 4 years ago isn't quite up to what I enjoy today. So I installed a copy Redhat that I had from work. I had built a web server for the department on it, and after a bit of futzing around, enjoyed it very much. Looking around though, I found that there were a number of distros that I had only been vaguely familiar with before and each of them seemed to have some rather handy feature.

So the question in the end is, what do I want out of the OS for my server?

1: a stable webserver. This is covered by pretty much all distros, so no hard choices yet.
2: an awesome desktop and USB 2.0 support. This is the secondary consideration, but rather important at the moment.

I've looked around and talked to a few people on my friends list and a few more on IRC and have been left with more questions than answers. So far, the more I look at redhat, the more my opinion of it can be summed up by one word: 'meh.' A few friends (you know who you are :P ) have been raving to me about gentoo, but I haven't seen or heard enough about it to make an informed decision. There's always FreeBSD, but that's a bit hardcore and not so much on the 'overflowing with spiffy GUI options' side. Old SuSE doesn't seem to have anything really gigantic going for it either. I have no experience with slackware.

As desktops go, KDE looks rather cool, as does Athena. I'ved used Gnome and it is better than CDE, but then again, what isn't?

This is where you, my friends come in. Revel me with stories, personal experience and your wisdom.



(x-posted, appologies if you see this more than once)

¹The webserver in question will be running primarily a website for students from my university, giving the low down on the professors so they know who to go for and who to avoid, and many other handy bits of school related information.

²The one and only time I ever used windows as webserver (W2K) was when a web developer at work wanted to show me something. So we installed it on my box. It was compromised in 30 seconds. That may be a bit on the generous side, believe it or not. That is why I have no love for windows as an OS in this respect.

I'm having a few problems getting Mambo working on FreeBSD 5.3

Whenever I try to log in to the administrators account, with a valid username\password, you get presented with the same screen with the username\password boxes still filled in. /var/log/messages states "Feb 23 17:42:42 linux kernel: pid 15803 (httpd), uid 1006: exited on signal 11"

Nothing is written to the Apache access or error logs

If I try to log in with an invalid combo, a JavaScript popup tells me I got either the username or password wrong. So, the authentication is sort-of happening

The only useful thread I've found on the Mambo forums was this one. Which states "To all who have this issue, it is a problem with duplicate extension entries in your php.ini"

All I have in my php.ini that contains references to extension are:

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/20020429/"
extension=session.so
extension=mysql.so

So there aren't any duplicates

I really don't know much about setting PHP up. Does anyone have any pointers?

I seem to remember having this problem in the past with Gallery, and the issue was resolved by installing php4-extensions

Here's the version of all PHP stuff I have installed:

Just a quick post to introduce a new series of articles that I've been engaged to write that will cover Linux, the philosophy of Open Source Software, various projects that exist and, principally, my experiences with Linux over the coming months. They're supposed to be an informative and mildly humorous introduction to the subject, as well as tracing the course of my own (newbie to Linux) travails, tribulations and (hopefully) triumphs.

Should I be pushing to attend the in-person training?
