Linux UGH!!!

[key west chick]

rebel, Hubby is gonna have me log into to BYC on his computer at the shop. He'll be around some today if you have a chance to work on yours some more and need help. Otherwise, I'll be on at home later and when he gets home you guys can talk more if you need him.

I hope I have it all handled. Another issue I had, case does not matter in windows but it does in Linux. If you type http://cmfarm.us/cam_1.html or http://cmfarm.us/Cam_1.html in to a windows web server you will get the same file/webpage but Linux sees them as completely different files/webpages. So if you typed http://cmfarm.us/Cam_1.html or clicked a link that used the big C you would get my 404 page http://cmfarm.us/missing.html so I had to rewrite a bunch of internal links an I found a spellchecker add-on burred in Apache that fixed small web address errors like that. So I now have a Linux webserver up an running my website. Maybe it will be more stable... Think I will keep the windows version still going for a few days in case I need it. Then I am going to try to turn it in to a Linux Reverse Proxy for my IP web cameras to pull some load off them. Assuming I can figure that out... But thats for another day.

This is what I would try. All in the command line, because I'm used to ubuntu server which doesn't have a gui.

:

# Lines starting with the pound sign (#) like this one are comments, don't run them

# change to root user (you'll have to enter your password)
sudo su

# Change the owner of the files to www (the apache user in ubuntu, might be different in fedora)
chown -R www <insert name of webpage files>

# Change the file permisions to let you read and edit the files
chmod 766 <insert name of webpage files>

# all done! switch back to your normal user
exit

Oops, I see you already got it fixed. Oh well, it was fun digging through my "SAIR Linux & GNU Certified Administrator" (which I'm not of course, just got it for refference) book to figure out the correct octal permisions to use for chmod

I've got a copy of ubuntu server on disk cause I though it would make the best web server. It never made it in to the disk drive. I just dont know enough about command line to even start to build a web server out of it. May need to get a book.

Installing it with just the command line is rough.

If you are interested in learning more, I really like the linode library. They have really easy to understand tutorials for just about everything you'd ever want to do with a server. It's got a slant towards ubuntu, but also covers fedora a lot.

Strait in to my bookmarks. Right there on the first page is a link that reads "Using Apache for Proxy and Clustering Services on Fedora 14"

Sorry I'm no help, was loving ubuntu till I upgraded my system and my new vc was incompatable in my games. Can't figure out how it could use the card for normsl use but open gl failed in every game. Reinstalled winblowes and still have to - repair or reimage- every 6-8 minths.

Went ahead an built another Linux box out of the old windows web server. I installed Squid on it running as a reverse proxy for my IP web cameras.

I'm hoping that will help keep my frame rates up better during high demand times. May have to figure out caching before it actually helps any though.
