Can't get .htaccess to work
by Pam Astor 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Hi, I'm trying to password protect one of my web accessable directories and I can't get .htaccess to work in a Centos 5.1 box Here's what I did I created an .htaccess file with the contents: AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/mysite/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null require valid-user and I uploaded it to the dir I want to protect. Then I created my password outside of my web dir with the command: htpasswd -c .htpasswd pam then followed password prompts, created my password. So then I go to the site, and am not seeing any password required box, I can see site without a login. So then I figured it's not turned on in apache, and went to httpd.conf and changed AllowOverride None to AllowOverride AuthConfig When I reload, apache will not reload. What am I doing wrong? _________________________________________________________________ Pack up or back up–use SkyDrive to transfer files or keep extra copies.

Kickstart network settings problem
by Plant, Dean 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

I would like one of my kickstart scripts to prompt for disk and networking only. Commenting out the disk and network settings makes the installer prompt for disk settings but not for network settings, they default to DHCP. Any idea's how to fix this? Thanks Dean

fdisk partition table plus sign
by Kai Schaetzl 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

What does the plus sign after the blocks value exactly mean in the fdisk output? Some research reveals that it indicates that not all the blocks are included in the fdisk value. But what does this exactly mean? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

dd backup of lv
by Joseph L. Casale 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

I have a series of unmounted lv's that are used in xen vm's of various flavors in a lab environment. I made a script that I use to backup all of them prior to doing anything I may need to undo and all I execute is: dd if=/dev/vgname/lvname of=/dir/name.img Are there any additional parameters I should use? I haven't tried to restore this into an lv, but I did swap the 'phy' specification for 'file' and started a vm using the backed up image and it was fine. Thanks! jlc
