200683 2003-12-15 10:13:00 Aahhhh. I give up for now. Much too confusing for me.

I need a step by step, or click by click, and key by key thing.

I just found out that you can log in as root. mmm.

How do you add a new hard drive? 		mejobloggs (264)
200684 2003-12-15 10:14:00 Oh, and I dont have this "create new" thing on my right click from the desktop mejobloggs (264)
200685 2003-12-15 10:45:00 I'm not too sure how to add smb mounts to your fstab, but I'd suggest this:
Add the command you used to mount the smb share to:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

You can do this to make a Symlink on your desktop:
cd Desktop
ln -s /mnt/ShareNameHere
That'll make a symlink to the share on your desktop :-)
It may pay to put it in /home/username/ too :-)

In a console, to become root, type:
su -
You should _never_ have to log in as root... its too easy to break stuff!

Next, to setup Sharing FROM your PC3, you'll wanna edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf file (as root).
Type:
nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Now here's what my smb.conf file looks like:

# Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.
#
#================ Global Settings ========================

#End of smb.conf

If you copy and paste that even, and just edit the shares, the workgroup/workstation name and you should be sweet :-)

Let us know how you get on

Cheers

Wow! does that mean you are sharing you cd drive over the network?

Or does that mean something else?

I gotta go to the orthadontist now, so I will try it later.

Thanks 		mejobloggs (264)
200687 2003-12-15 21:28:00 Yup, Im sharing it over the LAN..
Its no longer a DVD-ROM, but a CD-R/W.

I called it DVD back when I had a DVD-Rom, and was trying to play DVD's across the LAN.
Then I came across VLC (VideoLAN Client) which will send DVD's, Mpg's, DivX, mp3's, and a host of other files streaming across the LAN to a WinXP machine the family uses (There's a Win32 Client for VLC too).

Its great fun :D 		Chilling_Silently (228)
200688 2003-12-16 20:41:00 I seem to have done something wrong. I dunno if I have the right stuff installed.

I am going to format, and start again, because I changed a lot of stuff while I was root, because it looked interesting, but now it doesnt work.


My aim is to use the linux pc as storeage, and as a PHP server on the network, so I can learn PHP, and also have mysql things.

What stuff will I need to install for that?
What are some othere good things that I should install?

Once I have done this, then I can start again on the samba thing.

Thanks 		mejobloggs (264)
200689 2003-12-16 20:45:00 All you'll need is apache and Samba.

I dont think you wuold have started the Samba service. You need to restart Samba after each change to smb.conf for it to take effect.

as root, run:
/etc/rc.d/rc.samba start

That should start your samba sharing days :-)

200690 2003-12-16 21:45:00 Just apache? Not all this apache-php stuff that is there?

And what about mysql?

I can have apache-mysql, or in the database section, I can have mysql, and it doesnt say anything about apache. 		mejobloggs (264)
200691 2003-12-16 23:20:00 Oh, and I don't have a 'nano' command either mejobloggs (264)
