Hi Folks
I recently ventured into server adminsitration. You know the drill... no to
little experience and bought myself a blue box RAQ4r to be exact. Nice
friendly GUI and bingo!
My problem is up until now I did not know that the root of a Cobalt is
finite in size. What happened is I installed php 4.1.2 and everything ran
like a charm. Then I had the bright idea to install Chillisoft 3.6.2 all
pkg
files, but the chillisoft did not install correctly and seized the machine.
Turned out that the root was at 100% and it overwrote the httpd config
file,
and god knows what else. What this meant as I found out was my server had
stopped serving webs. Everything else was operational but no access to web
sites from the browsers.
After viewing the active monitor and seeing two glowing red warnings, web
server and disk space. After much searching for info and trying to repair
the dam thing. I managed to get everything installed and working correctly,
or so I thought.
The server is not recognising .htm .php .cgi By this I mean when one surfs
to any site on my server and the index file has any of these suffixes it
simply displays the index directory of that web site,and the full directory
listing!! But not if it is index.html. Then the web site index page is
displayed as you would expect.
Also Frontpage 2000 is not recognised by any client who tries to log in
this
way, although the folders are being created in the websites and the conf
files are being created in /usr/local/frontpage no matter if it is a newly
created virtual site or not.
I think this problem has something to do with the httpd config file being
overwritten/erased when the root ran out of space. I am not experienced
enough to edit it, but I really do not know for sure what is causing it.
I would be obliged if whoever reads this could explain how I can fix this.
I state here and now that this whole episode was alarming, and would bring
a
tear to a glass eye.
Regards To All
Richard
