I use rpmfind.net - enter the package that you want to search for then you can refine your search further.
The searches return:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...-7.0&arch=i386
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...-7.0&arch=i386

Both are the same package:
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updat....6-16.i386.rpm

Follow the install commands as you did for the lynx package. Once the openssl package is installed retry the lynx package install.

Okay. Here is what I get when I try to install mod_ssl-2.8.12-1.7.i386.rpm

Install failed :
error: failed dependencies:
webserver is needed by mod_ssl-2.8.12-1.7
libcrypto.so.1 is needed by mod_ssl-2.8.12-1.7
libssl.so.1 is needed by mod_ssl-2.8.12-1.7
So I tried running it again ignoring dependencies and it did its thing.

this is what I get when I try to install openssl-0.9.6-16.i386.rpm

I also ran it again Ignoring dependencies and I came up with this.

Install failed :
package openssl-0.9.6b-18 (which is newer than openssl-0.9.6-16) is already installed

I really didn't want to update this because I'm on a live server and I hate to mess up ssl

I wonder if there is an easier way to run a php script daily without doing this.

Oh.
I just typed lynx and this is the message I get.

lynx: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try creating a symbolic link:
cd /usr/lib
ls -l libssl*
ln -s /usr/lib/FILE /usr/lib/libssl.so.1

Where FILE is the libssl file installed.

Hello dave4545 , I don't know if you found a solution to your problem.

You can try the following.

put this in a file you make called task_x.sh

=> wget http://yourserver/yourdir/cron.php

then add an entry to crontab with the time you need to run it were you call the .sh file.
But from what I've read I think you know how that works.

This way you don't need to open a browser to access the cron.php file.

Oops,

Maybe that isn't clear: don't add the '=>' to the line in task_x.sh

You shouldn't even need to put it in a script unless you want to check the results. You could just put the command in the crontab.

Hey. We tried the symbolic link thing.
When I look at the directory now I see this.
Is that right?
libssl.so.1 -> /lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b

That looks OK - does lynx work?

It sure does


Okay. Now I can try that little trick you have posted in your signature.
rm -rf /

I guess it is supposed to clean up the trash on my server???



hehe... just kidding.

Thanks for the help david.

You've taught me a few things.

No problem - glad it works for you!
