i'm having some problems w/ apache 2.0.52 (i think, it's the newest version). sometimes i cannot connect to my site at all, i'll do a restart & it'll work for a bit, then lose the connection. i have a router & the router is setup properly to allow traffic to just this pc (i have another for web browsing). i started having this problem before i upgraded to the new apache, so i'm not sure where the problem is. my ftp server works just fine, so i'm thinking it's somewhere in apache but i don't know where. help!?

i'm new to linux & wanted to check it out. what distro would you suggest? i noticed the thread below that had suse & mandrake. i tried mandrake a long time ago but didn't have the time to dig in, now i do. so, what's the best 'free' linux distro?

i really just want to learn linux, etc. i think i'm gonna try mandrake 10.1. i have redhat 9.1 (i think) at home. probably put that on tonite until i get mandrake 10.1

My friend is unable to access my website from his winXP laptop. He can get to every other page but mine. i ran a traceroute on my site from his laptop & recieved the following results: Tracing route to www.thanksalotalgore.net [66.41.73.165] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 * * * Request timed out. 2 * * * Request timed out. 3 * * * Request timed out. 4 * * * Request timed out. 5 * * * Request timed out. 6 * * * Request timed out. 7 * * * Request timed out. 8 * * * Request timed out. 9 * * * Request timed out. 10 * * * Request timed out. 11 * * * Request timed out. 12 * * * Request timed out. 13 * * * Request timed out. 14 * * * Request timed out. 15 * so, it's not going through once. After running hte traceroute, i'm not too sure what else to do. No one else has problems accessing my site at all, just him. help!

we both use comcast for our internet connection x) which shouldn't be the problem at all, because my other friend has comcast & it works fine for him.

ok, i tried everything mentioned above & i even tried adding in my ip address & website name into his host file. nothing worked! i'm at such a loss right now.

thanks for your help guys. i'll trying clearing the cache. that could be the issue since he may have tried to access my site while it wasn't up yet.

does anyone have recommendations for intranet software? i work for a Credit union w/ 17 employees, so we're not huge by any means. i have front page but don't like it at all. i'd like something relatively cheap. i'm using win2003 sbs, IIS6. thanks in advance

this digger solutions product looks cool. i'll give'er a whirl.

anyone? bueller? bueller?

i got a new dell server (poweredge 400sc) with win2003 server to use for a planned intranet at work. i didn't want it running active directory because i just want it as a member of our current domain. so i ran a dcpromo to demote active directory & i'm pretty sure it just deleted AD. every since then it's very slow in rebooting, logging off, etc. So i wanted to just re-install the SBS2003 o/s, when i do it says 'unable to access the active directory'. i'm at a loss of what to do on a sidenote, when everyone logged in today this message was on everyone's pc: 'Message from INTRANET to STARTRIB on 04/19/04 5:56 a.m. INTRANET does not comply with the licensing requirements. Contact your system administrator.' INTRANET is the name of the SBS 2003 server that will run our intranet & STARTRIB is the main server (which runs sbs2000)

i'm running apache2.0.49 on a winserver2003 box. within the last few days, my website isn't accessible to the outside world, but i can access it via mozilla on my host pc. a few days ago i uninstalled active directory & i lost alot of stuff that had to be reinstalled so this may be the cause but i'm not totally sure. apache is running just fine on my pc & the ip address is correct with my dns host. i'm at a loss right now.

i'm having problems with my cd-rom (dell dimension v333c) running win2003 server. basically, it won't recognize any cd i place in it, music, software, etc. i can't really find any updates on dell's site either. what should i do?

Thanks Alec! You rule. i'm gonna try that tonite when i get home

thanks. prolly just buy a cd-rw. on a sidenote, what's the fastest/easiest way to setup a home network or share files between a winxp home pc & win 2003 enterprise edition pc. i have a hub that they connect to which allows them all to connect to the net. i mainly just want to be able to share files between the 2 pc's. don't need active directory ,etc. thanks.

just a regular cd reader. i'm thinking hte problem might be that it's so old (it is a dell dimension v333c, not exactly new) & win2003 server doesn't support a lot of it. i'm thinking about just putting a cd-rw in there. don't have warranty on the pc anymore either.

yes it does. and it says it's functioning properly?! when i place a cd in the drive & go to my computer, try to open it, i get a message saying the cd is not recognized by windows blah blah

my dad was wondering the best way to backup his home pc (dell dimension, win98). outside of purchasing expensive TBU drive/software, i'm not sure of the best, cheapest way to go about doing this. he does have a cd-burner, but i'm not sure if that's possible. any ideas? i'd prefer the 'free' options. thanks!

i have dl'd & installed mysql v. 4.0.18 23.1M. i opened the winmysqladmin.exe and created the user name/password & need to create a generic db for a weblog program called wordpress. when i click on the db tab in winmysqladmin, there is a db called mysql that appears to have fields populated. my question is, does mysql do this automatically? or do i need to create a new one? sorry for posting htis here, but i cannot find a good website for mysql help. and the wordpress help isn't very helpful right now.

i do have php installed & working with my apache2 webserver. i'll give that a shot! thanks so much.

sorry, didn't know what area this belonged: i've been asked to research a possible intranet for our company. we only have 16 employees, so we're rather small. does anyone know of a good, easy to use intranet software. i will have an old HP Netserver LC3 (which currently has winNT on it) that i'll most likely use for the intranet. i can replace this O/S with anything i need. thanks.

i'm trying to reinstall office xp onto my pc. yesterday i had to recover win2k & i guess i lost the office settings. i inserted the office disk & ran setup but got this error: 'This patch package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package.' So, i inserted the disk into another pc & the setup started fine. I tried uninstalling office with this disk(& a 2 other office cd's i had) but got the same error every time. how do i get this to work? i'll uninstall if needed. thanks .

a pc at work had had system soap installed on it. i went to uninstall via the add/remove & regedit (found these instructions on the internet). when i edited the reg and restarted, the pc just hangs after login. the login script appears, but nothing happens then. i don't want to have to reinstall windows on it. the pc is running win2k - sp3 i believe. please help!!!!!!

nevermind, fixed it.
