firefox 1.0.1 and java
by Gerhard Magnus 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Once I installed the new firefox 1.0.1 I lost the java runtime environment I had finally been able to get working with firefox 1.0. The "About Mozilla Firefox" window says I'm running "Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2". I assume this new version of firefox is using files from the directory tree that starts /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1, which means I need to make a symbolic link (using the ln -s command) from /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins. This is the same procedure I successfully used before to make the link in the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins directory. For some reason this procedure is not working -- the new link in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins appears in red instead of blue. I've tried deleting the link (using rm -r) from both the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins and the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins directories. Although they no longer show up (using ls -al) the link creation (using ln -s) still gives a non-functioning link. Then when I do a locate libjavaplugin_oji.so I get -- /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so which seems to be saying the links are still there in both firefox directories! When I try ls -l on the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins directory I get: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 6 16:51 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> libjavaplugin_oji.so flashing in red -- it looks like the link is linking to itself. Or something.... Any suggestions on how to clean this up or at least to hack through it further?

RE: Apache: httpd; apachectl status and fullstatus.
by Dan Thurman 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

I tried that. Did not work. I am wondering if I missed a system configuration step, namely that typing domainname results in an empty system domain name setting? I tried domainname cdkkt.com and that did not work either. So, I am at loss as to why this is a problem.... PS: Let me know if domainname is used - I just dont recall if this is needed. The /etc/resolv.conf does have a 'search cdkkt.com' entry in it.

Final note: IGNORE STEP (3) in the instructions. Uncommenting the <VirtualHost *> ... </VirtualHost> block causes the administrative step (port 8090) to fail.

RE: Apache: httpd; apachectl status and fullstatus. [FrontPage install fails]
by Dan Thurman 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

OK, I changed the <Location /server-status> section and allowed everyone to access it and note that the apachectl command does work. I tried to install FrontPage and it still fails. Rats. As far as why I cannot get server-status to work "out of the box" is not my current issue I will leave it to those who care. For those who want details of the failed FP installation: ===================================================== Where is the current apache control file (apachectl) located: []/usr/sbin/apachectl Currently running Apache/ Checking for previous versions of FrontPage Server Extensions to upgrade... You have no previous versions of FrontPage Server Extensions installed. There are no settings to migrate! For Apache 2.0, FrontPage requires Apache version or later. Please first upgrade to Apache 2.0.40 or later, with mod_so. ====================================================== OK - I figured it out. To install FP on FC4: 1) Follow instructions in: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_apache2_frontpage2002 but do not install the fp product until these steps are first performed: a) Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf 1) Look for the Listen *:80, change it to 80 2) Comment out default Virtual Host: <VirtualHost *> ... </VirtualHost> b) Rename or delete: /var/www/html/auth/.htaccess file if exist. c) Get previous version's apachectl shell-script file. I used FC2's script. Current script apparently is either broken or changed so that behavior is different. apachectl -v start for example does not return any version information, for example and the fp script requires it. 2) Complete the rest of the installation instructions from (1) above. 3) You might want to uncomment the <VirtualHost *> ... </VirtualHost> block, but I am testing to see of that will cause any problems. It shouldn't but I don't know. If it does, comment it back out. I think that covers it...

Apache: httpd; apachectl status and fullstatus.
by Dan Thurman 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi Folks, I am trying to install FrontPage extensions on FC4 and I think I stumbled on why I was not able to even get started. My guess is that the FP script is expecting to locate the apache http version which it is not able to locate? But in any case, I was not able to get the apachectl status or apachectl fullstatus to work: ============================================== > apache status (and apache fullstatus has the same output) ============================================== Not Found The requested URL /server-status was not found on this server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/2.0.54 (Fedora) Server at [1]xxxxx.cdkkt.com Port 80 References Visible links 1. mailto:xxxx@xxxxx.xxxxx (purposely consealed) ============================================== ============================================== Uncommenting in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, the following and changing the Allow from directive: ============================================== # Note: mod_status.so is loaded <Location /server-status> SetHandler server-status Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from cdkkt.com </Location> ============================================== And executing: > apache status (and apache fullstatus has the same output) ============================================== Forbidden You don't have permission to access /server-status on this server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/2.0.54 (Fedora) Server at [1]xxxxx.cdkkt.com Port 80 References Visible links 1. mailto:xxxx@xxxxx.xxxxx (purposely consealed) ============================================== I tried everything I could for the 'Allow from', i.e. 10.1.0, 10.1.0.0/255.0.0.0 and so on to no avail.

gcc not compiling
by Dotan Cohen 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

I'm just getting started in programming C. My first attempt: #include < stdio.h> void main () { printf("\nHello World!\n"); } Threw this error: [dotancohen@localhost ~]$ gcc hello.c hello.c:1:20: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory hello.c: In function 'main': hello.c:3: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'printf' hello.c:2: warning: return type of 'main' is not 'int' hello.c:4:2: warning: no newline at end of file So I googled for "1:20: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory" and found a post that suggests that the answer to the problem is found in the gcc manual. So I started reading it, but it is long and I'm not finding anything! I think that I'm missing a library stdio.h but I don't know where to find it, and where to put it once I do find it. Or am I completly wrong? The error message is pretty clear. Dotan Cohen http://technology-sleuth.com/question/how_can_i_be_safe_online.html

Viewing JSPs from Mozilla Browser on Fedora
by Frank Bogle 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hello All, I am developing a J2EE application on a hosted Linux Data Centre, I have a local instance of Fedora 1 installed at home and was wondering if anyone knows about limitations of Mozilla for viewing JSPs. The basic problem is that I have defined some entity and session java beans in JBoss and am using these to populate some JSPs for query based details. Some of the JSPs work well in Mozilla others do not. It is an odd problem because from a WinXP client the server application works perfectly. Has anyone had problems like this and if so what do I need to do to get my Mozilla browser to work correctly? The main area of my confusion is why do some JSPs work and others fail to load on Mozilla when they all work from WinXP. The JSP engine is Jakarta Struts. Any ideas, insights or views really appreciated. In addition to this does anyone know if a proven method to upgrade Fedora 1 to the latest version of Fedora? I guess that I will use yum but where do I point it to..? Regards All Franko
