There may be mod_rewrite debugging as well, but I took a look at the Apache error.log; if I try to access, e.g., http://laniels.org/weblog?videophones this shows up in error.log: [Thu Aug 7 21:23:37 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] File does not exist: /var/laniels.org/weblog So it's not even spotting the RewriteRule; it's just assuming that 'laniels.org/(.*)' is a file called $1 underneath DocumentRoot. There could be a problem of the ScriptAlias interacting badly with the RewriteRule; 'laniels.org/cgi-bin' is ScriptAliased to refer to /home/slaniel/public_html/cgi-bin. Maybe the RewriteRule gets processed before the ScriptAlias or something? --=20 ``Nothing gelds a novice father's masculinity more efficiently than having to publicly verbalize a litany of cute product names each ending in `y' or `ies' - `Huggy Furry Yummy Chewy Cuddly Potties.''' -Mark Leyner, _Tooth Imprints On A Corn Dog_ --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE/Mvw/Ha1lzVGot+YRAjirAJ0ZB6ul8OYKPJ6gSC4kcc0BFMck7QCfS1lH 8lmSZnYgQLE8y7JKYBfrUiM= =Vd2g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1-- From adam@bostoncoop.net Thu Aug 7 22:15:03 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net Received: from joehill.bostoncoop.net (h004005b9b492.ne.client2.attbi.com [24.60.209.71]) by bostoncoop.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 00AA713310 for ; Thu, 7 Aug 2003 22:15:01 -0400 (EDT) Received: by joehill.bostoncoop.net (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 04E72120009; Thu, 7 Aug 2003 22:14:59 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 22:14:59 -0400 From: Adam Kessel To: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net Subject: Re: [Linux-disciples] RewriteRule Message-ID: <20030808021459.GB689@joehill.bostoncoop.net> References: <20030808010047.GA6248@laniels.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="wq9mPyueHGvFACwf" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20030808010047.GA6248@laniels.org> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i Sender: linux-disciples-admin@bostoncoop.net Errors-To: linux-disciples-admin@bostoncoop.net X-BeenThere: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Community of interest for free software support List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: --wq9mPyueHGvFACwf Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Thu, Aug 07, 2003 at 09:00:47PM -0400, Stephen R.

Thanks for that. It definitely works (http://laniels.org/blah), but I can't seem to get it to work with the weblog?file substitution. I've copied my virtual-host block below. I still get the error that Apache things 'http://laniels.org/weblog' refers to a file called 'weblog' in DocumentRoot. The trouble seems to come down to the '?file' chunk, because (as you can see below, and you can see by visiting http://laniels.org/weblog?rightframe=3Dvideophones) the substitution '^/weblog http://laniels.org/cgi-bin/weblog' seems to work fine - and works perfectly file even with arguments passed to the weblog. I escaped the '?' so that it wouldn't be confused with the '?' regex character; the mod_rewrite manual says this is okay: visit http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html#InternalRuleset and search for the word 'slosh' (a typo in the documentation) if you need proof. Maybe the backreferencing works differently than I thought it did.

Is there any way to set it up so that "behind the scenes," '/weblog/file' redirects to '/cgi-bin/weblog?rightframe=file', but that what the reader actually sees in the title bar of his browser is '/weblog/file'? As it stands, using mod_rewrite in the way I described above puts the long form of the URL in the location bar. I'd like users to be able to copy the short URL out of their browser so that they email the short form to their friends. Is this possible without changing the Perl weblog code itself? -- ``Nothing gelds a novice father's masculinity more efficiently than having to publicly verbalize a litany of cute product names each ending in `y' or `ies' - `Huggy Furry Yummy Chewy Cuddly Potties.''' -Mark Leyner, _Tooth Imprints On A Corn Dog_ From adam@bostoncoop.net Fri Aug 8 15:03:05 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net Received: from joehill.bostoncoop.net (h004005b9b492.ne.client2.attbi.com [24.60.209.71]) by bostoncoop.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id D7F79133C6 for ; Fri, 8 Aug 2003 15:03:04 -0400 (EDT) Received: by joehill.bostoncoop.net (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 2F56E12001D; Fri, 8 Aug 2003 15:03:02 -0400 (EDT) Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 15:03:02 -0400 From: Adam Kessel To: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net Subject: Re: [Linux-disciples] RewriteRule Message-ID: <20030808190301.GA8352@joehill.bostoncoop.net> References: <20030808010047.GA6248@laniels.org> <20030808021459.GB689@joehill.bostoncoop.net> <20030808022811.GC6807@laniels.org> <20030808025145.GA1616@joehill.bostoncoop.net> <20030808030248.GB7168@laniels.org> <20030808031958.GA2035@joehill.bostoncoop.net> <20030808184051.GA11150@laniels.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20030808184051.GA11150@laniels.org> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i Sender: linux-disciples-admin@bostoncoop.net Errors-To: linux-disciples-admin@bostoncoop.net X-BeenThere: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Community of interest for free software support List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Fri, Aug 08, 2003 at 02:40:51PM -0400, Stephen R Laniel wrote: > On Thu, Aug 07, 2003 at 11:19:59PM -0400, Adam Kessel wrote: > > Some day you will regret sudoing frequently. Mark my words. > Have you ever been harmed in this way? Sure. There have been a few times when I've accidentally deleted or overwritten files due to some overly complicated command line run as sudo. Far more often are the times when I've been prevented from doing harm because a given action required root access, which I didn't have, since I wasn't sudo-ing. The 'permission denied' error was a wakeup call that I shouldn't have been trying to do what I was doing. Particularly given how easy it is to wipe out your whole filesystem ('rm -rf /' or 'dd of=3D/dev/hda') you reserve sudo / su for tasks that are truly administrative. Note that sudo has caused security problems in the past. Also, obviously, any security holes in any program that you run with sudo become very bad. Imagine a buggy (or trojan) version of vim gets uploaded into unstable, and you sudo vim, and *poof*. Of course, you're going to have to 'sudo' sometimes. And your system doesn't have very many users, so you're not necessarily carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. But it's just bad technique to do things as root on any system unless it really needs to be done that way. (I'm sure ken and dpt can back me up here). One other option would be to create a new group for certain administrative tasks, put yourself in that group, and give that group write access to something like httpd.conf. That way, you're at least cordoning off the damage you can do, and not having to type sudo all the time. --=20 Adam Kessel http://bostoncoop.net/adam --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/M/PldTf3ZklQ6qYRApfQAJ9r2f4s2sD9BifZQG9bc7yjiMUXSACfTEkM fpIjuZVLo/al07q6t7hISf4= =KGLh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1-- From slaniel@laniels.org Mon Aug 11 12:21:53 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net Received: from JeffTweedy.laniels.org (h00a024b50ca5.ne.client2.attbi.com [65.96.190.164]) by bostoncoop.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 92062133C6 for ; Mon, 11 Aug 2003 12:21:53 -0400 (EDT) Received: by JeffTweedy.laniels.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 4933E1033AD; Mon, 11 Aug 2003 12:21:48 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2003 12:21:48 -0400 From: Stephen R Laniel To: Linux Disciples Message-ID: <20030811162148.GA3170@laniels.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i Organization: Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents Subject: [Linux-disciples] Another free mail client?

There's been much discussion of making a free pine clone, but I don't think anyone has done it, because it would be boring. You can at least set this person's editor to nano, which is a free pico clone. At least that will give them some comfort. There's always elm, but I think elm doesn't have any advantages on mutt vis-a-vis novice users. --=20 Adam Kessel http://bostoncoop.net/adam --jRHKVT23PllUwdXP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/N8m1dTf3ZklQ6qYRAuwaAJ9PQ7mnqmAgN5YetIPKfapiamxjMwCdFxfi i3Ex2Z3IzUP3j9+7PVT0X4k= =apK7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jRHKVT23PllUwdXP-- From slaniel@laniels.org Tue Aug 12 08:13:58 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net Received: from JeffTweedy.laniels.org (h00a024b50ca5.ne.client2.attbi.com [65.96.190.164]) by bostoncoop.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 268F51343A for ; Tue, 12 Aug 2003 08:13:58 -0400 (EDT) Received: by JeffTweedy.laniels.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id A415B1033AD; Tue, 12 Aug 2003 08:13:53 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2003 08:13:53 -0400 From: Stephen R Laniel To: Linux Disciples Message-ID: <20030812121353.GA5295@laniels.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i Organization: Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents Subject: [Linux-disciples] Debian birthday parties Sender: linux-disciples-admin@bostoncoop.net Errors-To: linux-disciples-admin@bostoncoop.net X-BeenThere: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: linux-disciples@bostoncoop.net List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Community of interest for free software support List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Sad: no 10th-anniversary birthday parties for Debian in Boston: http://www.debconf.org/10years/#UnitedStates -- ``This combination of political courage and fiscal prudence has gained him endorsements from George W.

If I quit Mozilla entirely, the problem would go away when I opened it back up, but would occur again, even sooner than last time (it seems). This is Mozilla 1.4, by the way.

Many people have one heroic struggle installing Linux, but future installs are much easier. Here's a few tips which might help: - Generally, you should only have one, or at most two partitions other than your swap partition. I don't recommend having separate partitions for /tmp, /var, /home, and /usr. There used to be good reasons for these separate partitions, but I think for a desktop machine this is unnecessary complexity. - You might try grub rather than LILO. It tends to deal better with strange disk geometry. You would install it thus: grub-install /dev/hda update-grub /dev/hda grub replaces LILO as the bootloader. It's generally smarter. - Your geometry problem (cylinder # is too big) might be a BIOS problem. This is common with older (pre-year 2000) systems that have newer drives. This is not insurmountable, just annoying. One thing that can help a lot is if there is a new version of your BIOS which you can flash. You can often look this up at your manufacturer's website; then you make a boot disk which will flash the new BIOS, and the geometry problem might go away. If that doesn't do it, make sure you're installing into the bootloader into the Master Boot Record, and not into /dev/hda1. I.e., you want /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1. I believe there is a command that comes with LILO called 'mbr' which installs the bootloader into Master Boot Record. I haven't used LILO for a long time, though, so I don't quite remember these details. Hopefully grub will work. - apt-get: it sounds like maybe you're not installing Debian "fresh"--are you trying to install it with some other distribution already installed? I would recommend against this. It's possible but unnecessarily complicated. demolinux is probably fairly old (?). Your problem might be because you didn't do an install of 'stable' or 'woody' first. You should install all packages from 'woody' and then attempt to upgrade. I would also recommend upgrading to unstable rather than testing; often this will fix dependency problems. You can also try apt-get dist-upgrade to force upgrade of conflicting packages... Another thing to try is to see why packages aren't going to be installed, e.g., it says perl >=3D 5.6.0-16 is not going to be installed, so do: apt-cache show perl | less and you can see all versions of perl which are available. If you want to force the install of a newer one, try, e.g.: apt-get install perl=3D5.8.0-19 (the current version in unstable) If you get errors here, you will then know what the problem is, perhaps. You might also try using aptitude rather than apt-get, which can make it a little easier to see what packages are conflicting. I hope this is helpful!

You usually need DOS rather than Win32 to run a BIOS flash disk program. The Linux DOS emulator is dosemu, but you may not have that with demolinux... My suggestion would be to track down a DOS/Windows system somewhere and just make the flash boot disk for your box. If you have an old DOS boot disk somewhere lying around, you might be able to do it that way as well. It sounds like it is trying to install everything into /dev/hda1. I wonder if you could set the /dev/hda1 *not* to be a linux partition for now, and then Debian should install everything into your large partition /dev/hda2. There should also be a way to specify which partition Debian should install into, but I'm not sure off hand what that is. Actually, you might need to copy /boot into your /dev/hda1 partition, in which case you could make it a linux partition after installing Debian, then mount it, copy over /boot, run lilo. This seems unnecessarily difficult though... I wonder if there is a good "installing Linux on stupid BIOS" web page out there? My net connection is iffy right now so I can't find it, but I'm certain this is a common problem. --Adam On Wed, Aug 20, 2003 at 05:10:16PM -0700, Karl Sokol wrote: > Thanks for your detailed response!!! > > I reformatted my hd with 2 partitions + root.

The right way to deal with large disks without updating the BIOS is to tell Debian to that your root partition is one of the big partitions (maybe /dev/hda2) and then go to the 'mount an additional partition' option and mount /dev/hda1 on /boot. /boot is the only part that needs to be below cylinder 1024.
