Strange Thing Happens To Me

I just resently bought ASROCK motherboard G31M-S. It has realtek 8103EL onboard LAN. Debian 5.0 just installed default r8169 driver. J2EE did not work, glass-fish v2 just went kaputt. I did not have any net connection. So :
1. I downloaded r8101 drivers using puppy Linux.
2. Extract the drivers.
3. rmmod r8169.
4. build r8101.
5. insmod r8101.ko.
6. init 6.
7. VOILA my LAN alive and kicking.
8. strangely my glass-fish running well.
9. WHY : I don't know

Bye

Installing Apache Server in Debian 5.0 - Lenny

I need to install web server for intranet server. I have a Debian 5.0 box. Therefore it is natural to have apache server installed the newest

• I logged in as su (Super User). BTW you need to have gcc library installed properly. It means you have to have complete library.
• I downloaded httpd-2.2.11.tar.bz2.I moved downloaded file into /opt by typing this command : mv httpd-2.2.11.tar.bz2 /opt/. Now the file was moved to /opt.
  
• I went to /opt by typing cd /opt.
  
• I extract httpd-2.2.11.tar.bz2 with this command : tar xjv httpd-2.2.11.tar.bz2. Directory httpd-2.2.11 was created
• I went in to that directory : cd /opt/httpd-2.2.11
• Then I read INSTALL file. It says that I should use this script

$ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
$ make
$ make install
$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start

• Since I wanted Apache lives inside "/usr/local/apache2" so I changed the script. The script then looked like this :

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2
$ make
$ make install

• The first command that I typed was "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2"
• Next I invoke "make" to build various executables. It was about 10 minutes compilation time in my 512 MB PC.
• Next I invoke "make install" to install the executables. Running time was about 3 minutes.
• To start apache server I invoked "/etc/init.d/apache start"
• I tested the installation by using firefox browser. I typed in address bar : 127.0.0.1. Then I saw the result.
• I congratulate my self by eating salad and chicken.
  

Installing FIrefox 3 in Debian 5.0 - Lenny

I needed to have a browser which is familiar with me Firefox. My default Debian 5.0 Installation does not have this browser. So I downloaded from mozilla.com

• In my computer firefox-3.0.10.tar.bz2 was downloaded into /temp. I directly downloaded it from mozilla.com
• I moved it into /opt (Since I fell comfortable with installing new software in that directory)
• I submitted a command like this : tar xjf firefox-3.0.10.tar.bz2. This command created a new directory : firefox
• Then I went to /usr/bin by typing : cd /usr/bin
• I created a softlink to /opt/firefox/firefox by typing : ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox. This action created a softlink file named firefox which linked to /opt/firefox/firefox
• I created a menu Item Inside the Internet sub menu in my Debian 5.0

Now after installing firefox 3.0 I needed installing flash plugin.

• I moved the downloaded file into /opt by issuing : mv install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz /opt/
• I extracted the file by issuing command : tar xzf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz. It created a new directory : install_flash_player_10_linux
• I went to the directory : install_flash_player_10_linux
• Then I issued a command inside the directory : ./flashplayer-installer
• I was asked where is my browser installed. I answer with this : /opt/firefox. Because it is where my browser installed.
• Then I was asked to proceed with the Installation and I said Y.
• I tested my installation by invoking firefox : IT WAS ALIVE AND KICKING.
