Linux Anybody?


Recommended Posts

Help with regards to Apache web server

 

1.  Ive got the web surver running in my linux box already (Apache2; ubuntu).  I can access the index.html if I type the aliases or the loopback ip in MY browser.

 

my problem is that I can't access the index.html file in the other computers on my local network.

 

I have looked in the config files already but to no avail.  maybe Im missing something?

 

do I need to have SAMBA?

 

2.  my internet/network settings were created by automatic DHCP.  If I try to do a static IP protocol (where I type in 192.168.0.1 in the field for IP) and the gateway address is typed, why do I loose my internet access?

 

help please  :cry:

item 1 was well answered by dauphin24

 

additional hint for item #2: have you checked your routing table after you change your ip address? along with the dhcp address you get from dhcpd, you also get the default route (or gateway).

 

type in "ip route" when using dhcp and take note of the results, then do that again after you assign static add.

hehe... same problems I had a few months back.

 

yes there is an alternative to the whole MS OFFICE die BIll Gates dilemma. you can use openoffice software (visit www.openoffice.org for further specs and info). or you can use emulators to run the MS office program in a linux environment.

 

good news about using openoffice is that it is COMPATIBLE with MS OFFICE; just remember to always set the file format to .doc

 

ubuntu OS? it is way better than some linux distros because it offers an easy transition from using Windows.

 

hope these helped

Are there links for configuring linux box for Asterisk and as a router with a gui interface.

 

Thanks

 

Try mo clarkconnect, ito yung link for asterisk sa message board nila. Ito ang pinaka madali kong nagamit na all-in-one linux box. Pwede siyang firewall/proxy/webserver/mailserver/web content filter etc... may free version at may pro version, difference lang ng pro eh support saka ibang mga hindi naman ganon ka importanteng features. Ganito ang ginagamit ko sa office proxy/firewall for mga 30 workstations.

maybe in the next ten years, i will start using Linux. By that time, it must have developed into something that is useful for the masses. But now, no way, whatever the experts say that Linux is good blah blah blah.

 

Do not think guys that Im stupid when it comes to computers. I installed and used Linux for sometime just to give it the benefit of the doubt. But Windows still works best for me.

 

Thats all.

Yung accounting department namin I'm trying to migrate all workstations to Linux (ubuntu) since kasama na lahat ng kailangan nila - openoffice saka internet. Kailangan lang ng about one week para masanay. Iba rin yung sense of security saka walang tatalo sa libre. Saka kahit meron pang ilang workstations na windoze (visual foxpro app kasi) openoffice saka mozilla ang required na gamitin para tipid pa rin. :thumbsupsmiley:

Ok yung gui for newbies, very user friendly saka nakatago/password yung mga advanced config options para hindi magalaw. Lahat ng productivity apps kasama na, openoffice, firefox etc... Nag pa ship ako nung free cd's 20 pcs. double disc yung isang disc installer at yung isa live cd, meron rin para sa mac binayaran ko lang sa makati post office eh 30 pesos for the package, medyo matagal lang bago dumating. :thumbsupsmiley:

GUI's are usually distro independent. i guess the best choises are gnome or kde. linus torvalds one said gnome is for dumbs and he prefers kde. i still love gnome. rpms pkgs tars and bz2s are available :P

 

again, on my end, for servers i use slackware and often no gui, for a workstation its still slackware+drpline gnome and other gui apps i may require

 

peace!
