| 87842 | 2002-10-12 01:32:00 | Graham L, It's definatly "httpd", or atleast it used to be, and i think it was you who told me that! It's written on the top of the screen in marker pen anyway, so i know i got that right. Now heres me really being dangerous... if i reinstall from scratch, remove the 5G "windows" partition that the guy who "helped" insisted on putting in during installation, am i likely to stuff up the /home partition in the process? Everything that matters has been stashed in that partition. To be safe, if i popped the drive into the 'doze box, is there a way of getting the 'doze box to read whats in that partition so i could stash Sams critical data on Vanessa? Sorry to be such a clueless pain, i know i'll start getting it right in the end... I'll just be "Clueless" for the next 1000 posts, till i get the hang of all this. |

| 87843 | 2002-10-12 02:16:00 | I assume that the linux is working now. Using the Linux fdisk, remove the windows partition and make (do "man mkfs") it into an ext2 or ext3 (or whatever) linux one. You could make a tarball of the /home directory on the new linux "disk". There is a "driver" for windows for ext2 disks ... there's a link for it here : search for "ext2 windows" ... the request was from Mike. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 87846 | 2002-10-15 10:52:00 | any particular thing to look for on any particular log file? | Clueless (181) | ||
| 87847 | 2002-10-15 11:24:00 | If you open Yast2 you can check /var/log/boot.msg and /var/log/messages. boot.msg gives you details of the boot sequence and any problems while messages gives you details of what is happening on your system while it is running. An example is Oct 11 00:23:36 computername nmbd[1138]: Error - should be sent to WINS server :8} I really must fix that............ |

| 87848 | 2002-10-16 00:44:00 | The command to use is, of course: tail -20 /var/log/messages That will tell you if something has happened "recently", say, just after you have tried the httpd command. The other would be cat /var/log/messages | httpd ... | Graham L (2) | ||
