OT Apache Question
by kevin.kempter＠dataintellect.com 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Hi LIst; I would like to bring apache up to listen on an lternate port (like 81 instead of 80) however if I change the listen value in the httpd.conf file then it fails to start saying that : (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address :81 any Ideas??

Recommendation for HTML editor
by Dave Gutteridge 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

I was playing around with Nvu, and discovered it has serious problems. Mainly that it reformats one's code regardless of whether or not one selects the "Don't reformat code" option. I know there are a few HTML editors out there, so I'm not asking if they exist. What I'm wondering if there are those on this list who may have a recommendation for one they like and why. I'm also asking on some other lists. Although I'm looking for editors that will run on CentOS, I can understand if this strays too much from the topic of the list. PLease email me off list if you feel that would be more appropriate. Dave

I previously used Nagios and because of the painful configurations, I found OpenNMS. It does all I need and more, being more easier than Nagios. It uses PostgreSQL and runs on top of Tomcat4. Here is how I installed OpenNMS and it's prereqs. It's rough, but it works. Installing Java and Tomcat -------------- Download SDK and JRE to Local PC. Use SCP to copy them to the server in the /downloads directory mkdir /usr/local/java cp /downloads/j2sdk-1_4_2_09-linux-i586.bin /usr/local/java cp /downloads/j2re-1_4_2_09-linux-i586.bin /usr/local/java cd /usr/local/java chmod +x * ./j2sdk-1_4_2_09-linux-i586.bin ./j2re-1_4_2_09-linux-i586.bin rm -rf *.bin chown -R root:root j2sdk1.4.2_09 chown -R root:root j2re1.4.2_09 ln -s j2sdk1.4.2_09 j2sdk ln -s j2re1.4.2_09 j2jre nano -w /etc/profile if ! echo ${PATH} | grep -q /usr/local/java/j2sdk/bin ; then export PATH=/usr/local/java/j2sdk/bin:${PATH} fi if ! echo ${PATH} | grep -q /usr/local/java/j2re/bin ; then export PATH=/usr/java/local/j2re/bin:${PATH} fi export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/j2sdk export CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/java/j2sdk/lib/tools.jar:/usr/local/java/j2re/lib/rt. jar exit su - java -version java version "1.4.2_09" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_09-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_09-b05, mixed mode) cd /downloads groupadd -g 220 tomcat useradd -u 220 -g tomcat -c "Tomcat" -r -d /usr/local/tomcat -s "/sbin/nologin" tomcat wget http://mirrors.isc.org/pub/apache/jakarta/tomcat-4/v4.1.31/bin/jakarta-tomca t-4.1.31.tar.gz cp jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31.tar.gz /usr/local cd /usr/local tar -zxvf jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31.tar.gz rm *.gz chown -R tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31 ln -s jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31 tomcat nano -w /etc/sysconfig/iptables Add port 8080 to ip tables service iptables restart nano -w /etc/profile Add: CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat echo $CATALINA_HOME nano -w /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat ADD CONTENT: #!/bin/sh # # Startup script for the Jakarta Tomcat Java Servlets and JSP server # # chkconfig: - 85 15 # description: Jakarta Tomcat Java Servlets and JSP server # processname: tomcat # pidfile: /var/run/tomcat.pid # config: # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # Source networking configuration. . /etc/sysconfig/network # Check that networking is up.

Sound device has been blown away
by Dave Gutteridge 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Well, I spoke to soon. After installing gstreamer-ffmpeg, and creating an .asoundrc file, I thought everything was perfect. All my music applications were handling MP3s, FireFox was playing sounds, everything was sweet. And so I played some music in Rhythmbox. That lasted about four or five songs, and then suddenly, the sound cut out. And at the same time, my keyboard became unresponsive. I could close applications with my mouse, but couldn't type anything in any application. So I rebooted. And when I did, I got a "new hardware detected" old- school interface. It said my Kenwood Audio device had been removed, and I could either remove it's configuration, keep it, or do nothing. I chose to keep it. Then the boot up continued. When finally logged in again, I tried playing some music. No go. So I checked the System Settings | Soundcard Detection utility, and guess what - the Kenwood device is gone. There are no more tabs, there's just one device option, the SB Live device which may or may not be the default motherboard sound device. In any case, it has no speakers and it's not the Kenwood Audio device, which is still attached to my computer and is the device I want to use. What happened to my sound card and how do I get it back?

It will respond from another machine (WinXP).

This sounds like firewalling, but the default snmpd.conf file is very restrictive.

The only thing left to investigate is to see what it takes to get these NICs to do full duplex (do I want this?) to my switch (I think it's possible, have to do some reading).

Reading SNMP on other machine
by Todd Reed 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

I'm trying to use snmpwalk to look at other machines, but I can't get a response. It keeps timing out. It can see itself, though. I haven't had this problem with other machines and I don't know what's different. Suggestions?
