Test with localhost/test.php.

Does not work. At this point I simply edit my /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file, after backing it up, of course.

My first item is to clean out all the comments. Since most of the work I do now is by an ssh shell (too many computers, not enough monitors) I can have one session open for editing and another session open for reading the comments, looking at man pages, etc. I also have a browser open pointing to my slackware box at http://192.168.0.2/manual.

The cause of the above error code can be found in the httpd.conf file, notibly:
Code:
# Uncomment the following line to enable PHP:
#
#Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf
Removing the # from the above Include line, *AND* /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart gets me my phpinfo.


========================================
At this point I decided to bump back to
slackware 12.1. Their are somethings I
want to do with Gnome SlackBuild. Once
GSB is out I will most likely revisit
Slackware 12.2 ]]> jjthomas http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=1431 My Slackware 12.2 installation http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=1428 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 16:18:17 GMT Computer Hardware:
P-III 866Mhz with 512MB of RAM
nVidia GeForce2 GTS/Pro with 64 MB RAM
2 3com 3c905B 100BaseTX NIC's
1 LINKSYS WMP55AG A+G Wifi card
SB PCI 128

HDA = 28 GB Maxtor
HDB = 28 GB Maxtor
HDC = DVD RW drive
SDA = 9 GB Cheeta
4GB Tape Backup (SCSI)
SCSI Ricoh CD-RW
1.44MB 3.5 floppy
1.2MB 5.25 floppy.
Power is supplied by an Enermax 300 watt Power Supply.

The first step is to install Slackware 12.2, of course. Since this will be a dedicated machine, all the drives are used for Slackware.
The drive layout is:
/dev/sda1 ext2 /boot 100MB
/dev/sda2 jfs / 8GB
/dev/hda1 swap 540MB
/dev/hda2 ext2 /tmp 2GB
/dev/hda3 jfs /home 4GB
/dev/hda4 jfs /Storage1 20GB
/dev/hdb1 swap
/dev/hdb2 jfs /var 6GB
/dev/hdb3 jfs /Storage2 20GB

After laying out the disks I do a full install with everything except KDEI.

With the mixed drives (SCSI and ATA) I have to manually set up LILO, using the expert option. (The default installation goes to /dev/hda, hence the expert installation) I install my LILO on the boot record of the SCSI drive, since that is my boot drive.

I use a static IP address, and set up the gpm mouse

I disable rc.fuse,everything is Linux so I don't need it. I don't have any PCMIA cards, so I disable that as well. I do enable rc.ntpd.

My hardware clock is set to UTC, so I configure the clock accordingly along with the appropriate time zone.

I run the kde desktop, select it; root password and reboot. I sorta watch the screen during the bootup for any errors.

At this point I will ssh into the Slack computer.

First I set my ntp.conf file for appropriate permission and to my local pool. Then I restart the ntp daemon.

For the end of today's work, I get, compile and install apcupsd. Then I configure apcupsd.conf, set rc.local to start the apcups daemon. Run rc.local. Check my logs and make sure there are no errors.

And that concludes today's installment of Slackware 12.2. More to follow.
