That was the solution.  I experimented with various vmode and cmode 
settings and went with:

video-atyfb:vmode:11, cmode:24

My old eyes are better off with 800x600.  Thanks.

After installing YDL 3.0, the server option, installing Everything, Apache
won't start.  I've gone to the Services control panel and enabled it, I've
rebooted and seen "starting httpd  [ OK ]" in the startup process.

But I cannot connect to "http://localhost".  I have installed webmin, and
webmin tells me "Error.  Failed to start Apache" when I try to start apache
via webmin.

Ideas?

Is httpd running?

ps -ef | grep httpd

should show you.

If it is running,

nmap localhost

will tell you which ports are running on localhost. If there's nothing on
port 80, there's another problem. If you see any "filtered" ports, then your
firewall is the culprit. 
If you installed Everything, it might be your firewall software. Shut that
down if you installed it. Once it's down, 

iptables --list [run this as root].

Should just say policy ACCEPT for input, forward and output.

If it's not running, you should, check your config file
[/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf]. You should have

Listen 80

somewhere in that file.

Thank you for your reply!

Yes, it is running.

Here is what that command gives me...


Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1):
(The 1593 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port       State       Service
22/tcp     open        ssh
25/tcp     open        smtp
111/tcp    open        sunrpc
631/tcp    open        ipp
879/tcp    open        unknown
3306/tcp   open        mysql
6000/tcp   open        X11
10000/tcp  open        snet-sensor-mgmt


When I go to  YDL menu->System Settings->Server Settings->HTTP Server  it
tells me that it is listening to 80, but obviously it isn't.

Yes, httpd.conf does say "Listen *:80"

What does it show here? It's hard to see how httpd could be running....

Exactly. I can tell you have ssh, mail, cups, mysql and webmin running from
this.

You might want to try

service httpd restart

to see if it is a problem with a lock file. [not likely, but possible]

I've never seen *:80, but I'm no apache pro. I'd take out the star colon and
just put 80 there and see how that flies.

Take a look through /var/log/httpd/error_log and see if it's telling you
something we're missing.

Well, Mr. Quintanar, while accurate, is being a little facetious. :-)

GNU/Linux and all derivatives is offered under the GPL (GNU Public 
License), which demands that programs released under that license make 
the source code available. Therefore, Terra Soft are just being good 
citizens in supplying you the source code on CDs, rather than, say, by 
download from an FTP site. Hypothetically, you could actually recompile 
some or all of the source to, say, streamline your own Linux kernel 
(though I am too much of a newbie myself to know how that is done).

Best wishes,
Clint

Ok, maybe it isn't.  This IS the newbie list, right?  :-)

Here is what I got back, I assumed if it wasn't running I'd have received
nothing back.

When I type this I get:

Starting httpd:  [   OK   ]

I wish I knew how to do this, I can't find the firewall software.  Sorry,
I'm really good with Macs, and I'm ok on Windows, but Linux is just too
"roll your own" for me to be able to know how to work it.

Didn't seem to help.  Or maybe something deeper is failing and this isn't
even coming into play.

This file is empty!

I've installed YDL on this box three times now trying to get it to work.
Interestingly, the second time Apache worked just fine, and that time I
DIDN'T install everything.  Of course that second time I could use perl
-MCPAN, it couldn't find CPAM.pm.

I did everything again because of the perl -MCPAN problem and I was hoping
mod_perl would get installed.  I need that.


Last night I also wrote to the Yellow Dog people and asked to buy
installation support to help me get up and running--  so far no answer.


Suggestions?

Hi all. I followed the instructions and created a symbolic link from /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/plugins to /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so but when I open mozilla and go to Help --> About Plugins all that shows up is the default plugin. I am 100% sure that the javaplugin_oji.so file exists and is in the correct location and I also know that the symbolic link exists. Does it have something to do with the file permisions of the plugin? I couldn't find anything usefull on google.
Thanks for time.
Austin

Yep, all you got here is your grep. No httpd running. So there is a problem
getting Apache to start.

Just run "iptables --list".

Also, one way to find all the services and their behavio[u]r at system
startup is with the "chkconfig" command. Just use "chkconfig --list" to show
you what services get started and it will show you at which run-level you
should expect to see them.

Duh! My bad. That's the logs from httpd! Ooof! Sorry, too much fun in one
weekend....

The /var/log/messages file is where most of the output ought to go. Browse
through there for any httpd messages. You will probably also find something
in the less-crowded boot.log file [in /var/log]. At least a start and stop
message.

Next, check in /etc/httpd/logs/error_log. That should show you a heap of fun
stuff.

Otherwise, you should debug the httpd itself.

Step 1: become superuser -- "su" or "sudo -s"
Step 2: stop httpd -- "service httpd stop"
Step 3: check the httpd.conf file -- "httpd -t"

Use rpm to see if it is installed:

rpm -qa | grep perl
or
rpm -qa | grep mod_perl

This list is pretty good for support. There are certainly some topics that
don't get answered to everyone's liking, but then, it's a noob list. But as
for YD's purchased support, it doesn't look good if they can't even give you
support support! [Would that be meta-support?]
