[2] Error while transfering install image on HDD- Out of disk space
by Sameer Shinde 29 Jul '02

29 Jul '02

Hi All, The problem continues here...... On the 2nd day, the system hanged twice ( in 2 tries) I needed to hardboot these times. On the 3rd try I get the message like: "An error occured while transfering the install image to your hard disk. You are probably out of disk space." this sends me back where the installation starts. [ Read the message carefully, as I mention above, I had kept around 3.7 GB for / & the total package size was around 1.5GB ] once again I tried to install, but again I got the same message. so I decided to make a clean installation & moved back by pressing back button. When I reached to partitioning part of the installation, I got the message..... " The partition table on device hda is carrupted. To create new partitions it must be initialized causing the loss of ALL DATA on this drvie" This was along with 2 options [ initialize ] [ skip Drive ] Naturally, I skiped the Drive b'coz I do not wanted to loose all my data which is in windows. This gives me another message, " an error has occured - no valid devices were found on which to create new file system. Plz check your hardware for the cause of this problem. Pressing [OK ] leads me to another message, " An exceptional condition has occured. This is most likely a bug. Plz copy the full txt of this exception & file a bug report at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzila" [ I have a copy of the bug with me & not attached here, if anybody want it I can send it to them. ] ${ Do I need to remove all the partitions, (including windows partition which I don't want to be,b'coz of my data) to initialize the disk & re-define the partition table

Qmail + LDAP + distributed architecture
by kishor bhagwat 27 Jul '02

27 Jul '02

hi folks, We need to deploy a qmail with LDAP for address book and authentication at several of our offices spread over the country. We'll be putting one central server at our data center, with an anti virus gateway for it.So its a hub-n-spoke kinda architecture.All mails to-n-fro the Internet will pass thru this central server. some issues that i'd like help with: 1)i need a single domain ( company.com) to be hosted across these multiple mail servers 2)Intra-office mail, i.e mail from an user to another user in the same office should be delivered locally. 3)Mail for remote user i.e.one situated at another location should be routed to that location's mail server, but through the central anti-virus gateway. 4) All users have a common web interface for changing passwords 5)In case of qmail,how can i have some accounts on the local server and then instruct the server to send mails to some other user but belonging to the same domain to some other smtp sever.. this without LDAP.... i.e user1(a)company.com wants to mail user2(a)company.com but user1 and user2 are on diff machines .. LDAP is not involved in the picture i want mails to go thru a central mail server!!!! I guess this might sound a little confusing, but i'm sure most of ya guys will get it! any help appreciated! regards, kishor __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

PRC - Mentors and Students resposnibilities
by Shankar Ramchandran 27 Jul '02

27 Jul '02

We need to define a procedure for signing up for a project and Mentor- Student responsibilities. I have the few suggestions.. The mentor is required to bring in domain knowledge to the project. The mentor will decide the scope of the project. [in consultation with students based on project requirements etc] The mentor is involved in an advisory and guiding position in all phases of the project [planning, design, coding, testing, documentation etc] Mentor may choose to perform part of the coding or he may not. Students will be involved in all phases of the project and should commit in principle to stick to the end of the project. Mentor may choose to request some one for independant quality assessment...[at least for non corporate projects] More questions we need to find answers to: If mentors for a project are decided merely on volunteer basis, then we need functionality to support a wish list. where someone not qualified or not having enough time to be a mentor can put up a project that someone takes up as a mentor. Will the mentor decide how big a team is required...& will we have projects that students cannot sign up for? How will a student sign up? [ i guess we need to create a page for that] - Shankar

I am sorry, I don't exactly remember the procedure, but I know where I found the answer. I searched on http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user I followed the exact procedure listed in one of the message bodies. Hope it helps. -- Regards, | Cybertech Networks Pvt.

I guess so...i even put this up on the list, asking everyone abt what the next step could be. Well, php is not exactly greek to me, as far as reading code goes, but I would rather request someone to write such an automatic sign up page for students and mentors. > > > > so plz help guys... > > and how abt adding some help pages on the site, coz > > many ppl like > > me will have such probs. just add a link for help > > and a few tips > > on how to go abt things Hold on...I think it already has some wonderful help pages. For example, if you think you can't understand what the "Votes" on the right hand side means, just click on "vote" and you'll find a new help window explaining what it is all about. The only problem is figuring out which links are actually help pages ;) OK..may b we could write a small help doc on an intro, and how to go about using phprojekt. -- Regards, | Cybertech Networks Pvt.

GNOWSYS Development version released
by Nagarjuna G. 26 Jul '02

26 Jul '02

A development version of GNOWSYS-0.1-1 is released at http://www.zope.org/Members/nagarjuna/GNOWSYS. GNOWSYS, Gnowledge Networking and Organizing System, is a web application for developing and maintaining semantic web content developed in Python and works as an installed product in ZOPE. The application provides generic classes, viz. object, object type, association, association type, facet, facet type, occurance, occurance type, theme, scope, etc., for developing semantic web content. For those who are aware, the application follows the structure of TopicMaps (http://www.topicmaps.org). It is intended to develop as a powerful prototype application demonstrating the potential of an expert system within the paradigm+of object oriented database technology. Presently it cannot import/export the content in the form of XTM (XML Topic Maps) standard, but this feature is being developed. The application can be used for web based knowledge representation and management projects, for developing structured knowledge bases, as a collaborative authoring tool, suitable for making electronic glossaries, dictionaries and encyclopedias, for managing large web sites or links, developing an online catalogue for a library of any thing including books, to make ontologies, classifying and networking any objects etc. This tool is intended to be used also for an on-line tutoring system with dependency management system between various concepts. It also contains a facility to add rules into its rule base, and execute the rules. Once completely implemented this feature will make the product really powerful, for it can infer and make new relations. Though a prototype of rule base already exists in the developing version, more elegant implementation is being worked out. GNOSYS is a free software, released under GPL. Project website will be managed from http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnosys Sample applications that are developed using GNOWSYS will be available at http://www.gnowledge.org/, which is a site under development. You can download from the Zope site: http://www.zope.org/Members/nagarjuna/GNOWSYS This product depends on another Zope Product, Transparent Folders. Nagarjuna

Tomcat woes - Does not load (?) servlets.
by Dinesh Shah 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Hi All, I have problem with configuring Tomcat. Please help. Linux - RedHat 7.2 kernel 2.4.7 Java - 1.4.0 (j2sdk-1.4.0) (/usr/java) Tomcat - jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3 (compiled from source) Tomcat installed in "/usr/tomcat" port 8080 The example servlets which came with the tomcat is running fine. I want to enable servlets in my "DocumentRoot" My servlets are in "/home/httpd/htdocs/servlet/WEB-INF/classes" My Tomcat server.xml contains - <Context path="/servlet" docBase="/home/httpd/htdocs/servlet" debug="9" reloadable="true" > <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_servlet_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/> My .../servlet/WEB-INF/web.xml contains - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name> <servlet-class>Hello</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet> <servlet-name>HelloWorldExample</servlet-name> <servlet-class>HelloWorldExample</servlet-class> </servlet> </web-app> The context "servlet" loads OK. (I can see the context running in manager) When I load http://192.168.1.100:8080/servlet/Hello OR http://192.168.1.100:8080/servlet/HelloWorldExample (taken from example dir of Tomcat) It gives me "404 resource not available." I also have difficulty compiling and installing mod_jk in apache (1.3.26) All help and pointers will be greatly appreciated. TIA for your help With regards, -- --Dinesh Shah :-) Shah Micro System dinesh(a)indiamail.com http://dineshah.tripod.com Mobile: 98213-11906
