No subject

another sparc machine in the lab where the server is.  Later last night, I =
could not ssh from my laptop but could from my desktop.  I goto bed I get =
up and I can't ssh back to the box from either PC this morning, I can ssh =
out to darkshadows.org where I have a shell account, and ssh from that =
machine to acm.cs.uop.edu --- as far as errors, I don't get any, my ssh =
client (using SecureCRT, putting and Secure SSH) I can't connect.  My =
friend whose trying to connect from off campus via OS X, gets to a =
password prompt then gets kicked out (we can both go and login as our =
selves and as root at the console in the lab however).   Now if ssh does =
not work, I can use apt-get and uninstall ssh, then use apt-get again =
reinstall it and no problem, everything is all cool from most clients =
until the server gets rebooted.   Is this a client or a server problem?


Problem 2)
Mysql setup --- here I just need some help (i'm no linux expert by far and =
*ducks* I'd put Win 2k on the box if I could, I muddle my way around.   I =
downloaded the mysql binary distribution for sparc, got it put in the =
right place, got my password set and all; but I can't get it to fire =
automatically when the server boots, but I just don't understand what I =
need to do.  At one point it says to move or copy the mysql.server script =
to the place wither other startup scritps are located.  I can't find any =
.server scripts on the machine --- this has to be a smple thing, i'm just =
msising something about how to automatically start mysql when the server =
boots.

Problem 3 & 4)
Ok, I used apt-get to setup apache, didn't have any problems there.  I =
then use apt-get to try and get php4 going --- that did not work, so I =
went and edited httpd.conf and uncommented out the line to load the php =
modules; restarted apache and it did not restart, I checked my error log =
and it couldn't load the php4 module.  So I downloaded the php4 source and =
started the configure process on it; got an error that bison and lex =
weren't installed, used apt-get to install those.  Rerun configure and it =
went a whole heck of a lot farther, and stopped way at the end that apxs =
wasn't installed or could not be found, I did a locate on apxs and found =
nothing --- tried updatedb then redid locate and still did not find it. =
apache -l shows me the modules required for DSO support; but nothing else. =
  So I'm guessing the reason that I can't install php is because of =
apache, so I'm taking a shot here that to install php4 I need to get =
apache configured for dynamic support of modules.  Can I do this with =
apt-get or should I unisntall apache and then download the source andn =
compile it myself?


Advice/solutions appreciated.  Reply here (I get a ton of e-mail to my =
personal account so I'll use the one for the acm club here, why not, its =
not used for anything else), or you can reach me online via AIM (TNGPicard =
& TNGData), ICQ: 8551680, and IRC (DALnet -- nick: TNGPicard)
