Silly question but... on first setup, when it can't find a DHCP server, this
means it's going to ask you to enter one using the LCD display. Your message
isn't clear on this, so: did you in fact enter an IP address, netmask, and
gateway using the LCD and buttons?
If not, this is most definitely your problem. If so, let us know what
configuration you're using and what else you've tried as diagnostics.

True, but this requires doing something about the HTML displayed by a site
before it gets to the actual content supplied by the customer. I'd rather
set up the server *only* and leave all HTML and content to them, which
disqualifies this option. Good thought if they're all your sites, though.

Check to make sure that no *user* has the same name. You can repeat aliases
across different virtual domains (many "webmaster") aliases, but users have
to be totally unique on the server. If there's a "jsmith" user, he'll get
all mail for jsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx no matter what.

First, telnet to the box, then type:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
then try it again. See if this works. Also, type:
dmesg | more
to get a list of the messages the server gave during boot; this may contain
some useful information.
Others may have more ideas; let us know if any of this worked.

Several sites, including the LDP which I'd like to mirror, prefer using
rsync to do the mirroring rather than mirror. However, I've spent time
trying to figure this out and had no luck. You wouldn't happen to know the
right syntax for rsync, would ya?

Actually, it looks like it is authoritative:

However, your whois record for allaboutchoice.com shows that raven &
hawke are the nameservers for the domain:
Domain servers in listed order:
RAVEN.ALLABOUTCHOICE.COM
HAWKE.ALLABOUTCHOICE.COM
But look what happens when I try to lookup the nameservers using

Okay. Do you want the domain to be a learning experience or a working
one <smile>? It's your call <smile, again>.
And no, we're absolutely not cost-effective for only one domain,
although we do host DNS for several "single-domains", simply because the
companies want good DNS.

They came out somewhere around 1979 or 80, right <smile>. I was in my
30s by then. I did have the second TRS-80 model I sold in San
Francisco, though <smile>.
I wrote a version of PILOT that was ported to the Commodore Pet, but I
don't think it was ever ported to the 64.

And I've been with Unix since the best-selling commercial Unix was
Xenix, developed by Microsoft, and working on the venerable TRS-80 Model
II 8-bit system. I've run x86-based Unix since the 80s (SCO), and Linux
since kernel version 0.99 <smile, again>.

Which one? TRS-DOS, DOS+, NEWDOS, LDOS, PC-DOS, or MS-DOS? Or do you
mean "DOS" for mainframes <smile>? (I was VP of Software development
for Lobo when we contracted to have LDOS written for us.)

I'm presuming he's using the Raq gui to administer his DNS. If so, then
yes, he can just create a pointer record for the IP#.
Of course, it won't work if reverse DNS hasn't been specifically
delegated to him, and most providers do NOT delegate it.

However, and since we're on the subject, two of my new-found customers have
reserved all three TLD variants (com, net, org) of their names but only
expect to use one. They would like anything that arrives at the others to be
automatically redirected and served by the .com variant. Having the name
change from .net to .com is a non-issue.
So I want indahaus.(com|net|org), with or without the "www," all to resolve
to www.indahaus.com. After a @!$#%$%# lot of reading, it appears I may have
mistakenly stumbled over some Truth. I have this in my httpd.conf file...
<VirtualHost www.indahaus.com>
ServerName www.indahaus.com
ServerAlias indahaus.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx
DocumentRoot /home/sites/www.indahaus.com/html
ErrorLog /home/sites/www.indahaus.com/logs/error_log
TransferLog /home/sites/www.indahaus.com/logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.indahaus.net>
ServerName www.indahaus.net
ServerAlias indahaus.net
Redirect permanent / http://www.indahaus.com
</VirtualHost>
...and (drum roll) oh my God I think it actually works. However, I have no
idea what sendmail will make of this mess. Could someone take a look at what
I've posted here and give me their opinions? Will the mail go through? Is
there perhaps a better way?
I have a full set of DNS records for each domain, pointed at the same IP
address (name-based hosting only for all my sites), and with MX records for
each site all pointing to smtp.indahaus.com.
At this point, I'm doing this on a vanilla RedHat 7.0 box, so I can ensure
that whatever gets trashed doesn't kill a production server. Once it works,
then I'll port over to the production machine.
I know this is technically an Apache question, but since I do at least own
some Cobalt gear, maybe someone will take pity on me. :) Besides, if I'm
right, then this might help some other guy/gal just as lost as I...

Are any of these packages available as either Cobalt .PKG or standard RedHat
.RPM formats? I'm getting bolder with time, but so far "tarball" ranks right
up there with "prostate cancer" in the list of My Favorite Things.
I'm on very low-bandwidth links (two 128-Kbps links so far) so bandwidth
monitoring within the same box for name-based sites would be an awesome
thing. By the way, when monitoring traffic, what do these measuring tools
measure? Just HTTP, or FTP and mail too?

Don't do it for each virtual site. The first (long) part of the httpd.conf
file deals with server-wide configuration. Add these lines in, and they
apply to every single site.
I don't know what to do if the GUI discards your changes. Someone else may
have a way around that if it happens. Check the archives, I've seen this
before.

I usually just add the .com using the GUI, then add the extra

It's the apache web server conf file, sendmail won't make
anything of it. You'll need to edit your etc/mail/virtusertable
to include catch-alls for the alaised domains, and also be sure
to add both the www.xyz.net and xyz.net into the mail GUI for
relaying/accepting mail.

If the DNS is set up right (and sounds like it is) it should work
fine.

Well, my metioning the GUI won't help on RH7, but the end result
is the same on either machine.

Just for everyone's general interest, I keep this handy for
reference. I can't remember where it came from originally,
perhaps CPAN or perl.com, but the instructions are pretty
straightforward.
As we all now, this kind of thing is always use at your own risk
re the warranty, etc.
You have a file ending in .tar.gz (or, less often, .zip). You
know there's a tasty module inside. There are four steps you must
now take:
DECOMPRESS the file
UNPACK the file into a directory
BUILD the module (sometimes unnecessary)
INSTALL the module.
Here's how to perform each step for each operating system. This
is not a substitute for reading the README and INSTALL files that
might have come with your
module!
Also note that these instructions are tailored for installing the
module into your system's repository of Perl modules. But you can
install modules into any directory you
wish. For instance, where I say perl Makefile.PL, you can
substitute perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/my/perl_directory to install
the modules into
/my/perl_directory. Then you can use the modules from your Perl
programs with use lib "/my/perl_directory/lib/site_perl"; or
sometimes just
use "/my/perl_directory";.
If you're on Unix,
You can use Andreas Koenig's CPAN module
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/CPAN ) to automate
the following steps, from
DECOMPRESS through INSTALL.
A. DECOMPRESS
Decompress the file with gzip -d yourmodule.tar.gz
You can get gzip from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu.
Or, you can combine this step with the next to save disk
space:
gzip -dc myfile.tar.gz | tar -x
B. UNPACK
Unpack the result with tar -xof yourmodule.tar
C. BUILD
Go into the newly-created directory and type:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
D. INSTALL
While still in that directory, type:
make install
Make sure you have the appropriate permissions to install
the module in your Perl 5 library directory. Often, you'll need
to be root.
That's all you need to do on Unix systems with dynamic
linking. Most Unix systems have dynamic linking -- if yours
doesn't, or if for another reason you have
a statically-linked perl, and the module requires
compilation, you'll need to build a new Perl binary that includes
the module. Again, you'll probably need to be
root.

No, wait up, Carrie. The user you're appointing site administrator
should be appointed through the GUI -- create the user in that site
and make the designation by clicking the box that makes him/her site
administrator. That's the way it works on Raq3 -- I'd have to guess
there's something similar on Raq4. But the main thing is that site
admins should be created through the GUI because that writes to the
appropriate files for you.
Let me explain the "bug" we're talking about. The server
administrator (Carrie) must create a new site -- right? I mean
someone just can't go to your server and create a new site. So you do
that and when you do, Raq makes YOU the administrator of the site.
So then you go to create a user for that site and name that person
site administrator; the Raq dutifully adds that person to the site
administrator's list in etc/group. Works perfectly! Only one problem:
when it adds the new site administrator, it does NOT remove YOU from
that site administrator list. As a result, you and the user you
designate as site admin end up both being site admins. And, after 32
sites, you end up having problems so this is why you need to remove
yourself as site admin from as many sites as you can.
Sooo...after creating the new site administrator through GUI, you
THEN go and erase the "admin" (i.e. YOU) from each line where it's
appropriate. Right? You're adding the new site administrator through
the gui which works perfectly and taking away the server admin
through Telnet because the gui doesn't do that at all. :-)

Yeah, well, but now you have to ftp in AS THAT USER with the
directory /web and that will take you to the specific web site
directory. Don't go in as admin if you've made a user a site
administrator -- go into that site as that user.
configs for your ftp client:
hostname: your server's domain name
username: the user who is now administrator of the site -- their username
password: the password for that person
directory: /web
It's supposed to take you right to the site's web directory.

Don't worry about that -- it will be taken care of after you've
created your user and made him/her site admin through the gui!
Just try the above and see how it works and email me (off list if you
want) if there are more problems. This is like baking a pie -- once
you get the crust right, you can do it every time.

Thanks for the answer Jeff.
Does a RaQ3 come default and able to run compiled C programs? Is there
any safe way to run C/C++ compiled programs?
