config files zapped
by author 28 Jan '02

28 Jan '02

Red Hat 7.1 kernel 2.4.2-2 KDE 2.1.1 Somehow all my config files got zapped. I was busy installing apps in /usr/local in root. And I admit, I made a blunder by sending and getting some mail in Kmail while still in root. Then I noticed my KDE screen had returned to its original murky blue before I had set things up the way I like them. Anyway, the thing is, a lot of stuff has changed. Like the 300 e-mails in Kmail are all gone, Kmail's configuration is gone, all my 200 bookmarks in Konqueror are gone along with Konqueror's configs and .bash_profile and .bashrc in /root. Maybe more, I don't know. What bothers me is I'm not sure at all how this happened. Perhaps a bug in a .tar.gz or .bz2 file or was it something from an e-mail in Kmail ? Duh? On the bright side, this gives me a good excuse to install Red Hat 7.2.

AOL buying Red Hat?
by author 21 Jan '02

I read on the Register web site that negotiations are going on for AOL to purchase Red Hat. If the deal happens, will MUUG still support Red Hat ?

Lost prompt help
by Raymond J. Henry 15 Jan '02

15 Jan '02

RedHat 7.1. On boot up, it hangs starting ipchains firewall settings. If I do an interactive startup, I can bypass all my network stuff and xfont server. This lets me into the system. However, I will sonner or later lose my prompt, and be able to do nothing. I can find no documenation anywhere on this type of problem, and 3 individuals who I've talked to about this are stumped. Any ideas? Feel free to call me voice at 888-0452.

Wrong Address E mail
by author 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

I got an e-mail today addressed to someone else. It was aimed at someone with a @hotmail account. I don't have a @hotmail account. The e-mail had an address totally different from mine, but I ended up with it. Advertising for some wretched diet scheme. Why would an ISP send one of its clients e-mail not addressed to that client ? Is it a server problem or the client's mail software? Or perhaps, internet voodo?

I'm currently using awstats on AIX. Very very easy to install and it gives me all the stats that I need. I did try to compile webalizer, but I was missing a bunch of c libraries. So being as lazy as I am, I installed awstats instead of searching for the missing libs. I'm very happy with awstats. http://awstats.sourceforge.net/ Damian -----Original Message----- From: Brock Wolfe [mailto:obwolfe@shaw.ca] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 7:32 PM To: roundtable Subject: [RndTbl] apache web stats I have looked around for Apache log analysis tools and found; Webalizer, AWStats, and Perl WebStats.
