Bruno Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Is there a way to check if setup is okay?I think that should be "http://localhost/"The problem here is that I do not run Apache myself ( only run an FTP server ) so I can only point you to the Documentation and the FAQ . . . one advice I come accross frequently is: backup the main config file before you start tweaking/messing around: # cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf-BACKUP I made a screenshot of the server section in the official Mandriva 2007 documentation PDF: Here . . . . If you want I can send you the full MDV PowerPack PDF ( 12 MB ) just send me a PM with an email address.Also, a tool that might help is "Webmin" ( to install "# urpmi webmin" ): A web-based administration interface for Unix systems. Using Webmin you can configure DNS, Samba, NFS, local/remote filesystems, Apache, Sendmail/Postfix, and more using your web browser.After installation, enter the URL https://localhost:10000/ into your browser and login as root with your root password. Please consider logging in and modify your password for security issue.PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS VERSION NOW USES SECURE WEB TRANSACTIONS: YOU HAVE TO LOGIN TO "https://localhost:10000/" AND NOT "http://localhost:10000/". BrunoPS: You also might have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_mandriva_2007 although it is much more then you are looking for ( full ISP setup ) . . there might be bits and pieces that can help you.

This means the following changes: * The MYSQLD_OPTIONS="--skip-networking" option in the /etc/sysconfig/mysqld file has been removed, this is now set in the /etc/my.cnf file. * The MySQL Instance Manager is used by default, set use_mysqld_safe="1" in the /etc/sysconfig/mysqld file to use the old mysqld_safe script.The extra MySQL-NDB server package has been merged into the MySQL-Max packageand ndb related pieces has been split into different sub packages as done byMySQL AB. The MySQL libraries and the MySQL-common sub package uses theMySQL-Max build so that no functionality required by for example the NDBparts are lost.The MySQL-common package now ships with a default /etc/my.cnf file that isbased on the my-medium.cnf file that comes with the source code. The/etc/my.cnf file is constructed at build time of this package.To connect to the Instance Manager you need to pass the correct command lineoptions like in the following examples: * mysql -u root --password=my_password --port=2273 --protocol=TCP * mysql -u root --password=my_password --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysqlmanager.sockPlease note you also need to add a user in the /etc/mysqlmanager.passwd file andmake sure the file is owned by the user under which the Instance Manager serviceis running under.----------------------------------------------------------------------[root@localhost bart]# I hope I was able to satisfy the php and mysql requirements of phpbb without breaking anything.

Bruno Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Tried the localhost and 127.0.0.1 routine, and got the "It works!" message.Brilliant !!!! Congrats !!I'd like to read that MDV PowerPack PDF from page 1. If I can download it somewhere, I can spare you the trouble of having to email. Can you post a link?

b2cm Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Cannot load webmin with https://localhost:10000/. Had to install mdkwebadmin to resolve the problem. I am at the login page but cannot get past it. What username and password do I use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 As fart as I know it is "root" and the root password . . . . . but what you can try is: $ su - root< password ># konqueror This will start the browser as "root" . . next you can go to https://localhost:10000/ BrunoNOTE: Don't start browsing the net as root because that is very unsafe.

b2cm Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 As usual, you are right. I did the su and launched Konqueror and I was able to get straight to the webmin control panel. Actually, I kind of discovered this su/password/konqueror routine (after days of wondering how I could get the permission to write to my usb key and an ntfs partition ), but it never thought of it to deal with my webmin login problem. That's probably because I was decided it was an apache or webmin permission thing.So this is Mandriva. I cannot just log out as user and log in as root. It is always su>password>application to get root privileges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 So this is Mandriva. I cannot just log out as user and log in as root.Well, basically you could . . . but it is very unsafe ! . . . So you better do "su" <password> to get root privileges for only the application you want to use and not systemwide. ;) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
