=apache.txt=
http://bozziesfw.wordpress.com/2007/02/24/configuring-apache-using-yast-opensuse-102/
Try this, configure apache2 using YaST.
The apache's www folder is in /srv/www/htdocs/
The index.html file for "It works!" is there.
Add this to /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf:
<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
#SetHandler cgi-script
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .plx .pp
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Then restart the httpd server using: /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
Then it's ok.
--
php already works by default.
--
Added these to /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf:
<Directory /home/*/public_html/python>
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonDebug On
</Directory>
<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-python>
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.cgihandler
PythonDebug On
</Directory>
Now python works:
# cgi-python/hi.py?user_name=me
(Python as cgi, use mod_python.cgihandler as handler)
# python/index.py (with a function hello(req, who))
(Python, use mod_python.publisher as handler, the better way)
=crontab.txt=
crontab -e : edit the crontab file for the current user.
The result is stored one entry for each user in /var/spool/cron/tabs/.
In /etc/ there are these files:
cron.deny, crontab, cron.d, cron.daily, cron.hourly, cron.monthly, cron.weekly.
I have created a cron job to back up wikidb database. The script is:
/srv/www/htdocs/wiki/database_bck/autobackup
Then use "/etc/init.d/cron restart" to restart the cron daemon.
=Mysql install note=
MySQL
Setup: http://vias.org/linux-knowhow/lnag_09_06.html
Suse-Everest:/etc # /usr/bin/mysql_install_db
Installing MySQL system tables...
OK
Filling help tables...
OK
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h host.dummy.edu password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe &
You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl
Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

Objective Caml system has these commands:
ocamlc the batch bytecode compiler
ocamlopt the batch native-code compiler (if supported)
ocamlrun the runtime system for the bytecode compiler
ocamlyacc the parser generator
ocamllex the lexer generator
ocaml the interactive, toplevel-based system
ocamlmktop a tool to make toplevel systems that integrate
user-defined C primitives and Caml code
ocamldebug the source-level replay debugger
ocamldep generator of "make" dependencies for Caml sources
ocamldoc documentation generator
ocamlprof execution count profiler
ocamlcp the bytecode compiler in profiling mode
and also, if you built them during step 5, [yes I did]
ocamlc.opt the batch bytecode compiler compiled with ocamlopt
ocamlopt.opt the batch native-code compiler compiled with ocamlopt
ocamllex.opt the lexer generator compiled with ocamlopt

- switch b/w GUI and command line:
press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to leave the graphical user interface.
If you want to go back to the graphical user interface you
should log out from your shell session first. To do so, type
exit and press Enter. Then press Alt+F7 to switch back to the
graphical user interface.
When you are already logged in to the GNOME or the KDE desktop
and want to start a terminal window within the desktop, press
Alt+F2 and enter konsole (for KDE) or gnome-terminal (for GNOME).
To close the terminal window press Alt+F4.
- Bash shortcut keys
http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/08/bash-shell-shortcuts.html
- Exmaples.
sudo chown wilber kde_quick.xml
History: You can also search for a certain command in the history.
Press Ctrl+R to start an incremental search function.
Completion: Completing a filename or directory name to its full
length after typing its first letters is another helpful
feature of Bash. To do so, type the first letters then
Browse in the history of executed commands:
press Tab (Tabulator).
8.8 Searching for Files or Contents: locate, find, grep.
locate .gnome
find ~ -name *.txt
grep "music is great" ~*.*
8.10 Redirection and pipe:
ls -l >> filelist.txt
ls -l | grep tux
8.11 Handling Processes
Press Ctrl+Z to suspend the process and enter bg to send
the process to the background.
Sending a process to the background directly when starting
it. To do so, add an ampersand at the end of the command.
-jobs-
Whereas job only shows the background processes started from
a specific shell, the ps command (run without options) shows
a list of all your processes—those you started.
To bring a job to the foreground again, enter fg job number.
Use the kill command to stop a process. This sends a TERM signal
that instructs the program to shut itself down.
e.g., kill 30187
// Alternatively, if the program or process you want to terminate
is a background job and is shown by the jobs command, you can also
use the kill command in combination with the job number to
terminate this process:
kill % job number
kill -9 PID // This sends a KILL signal instead of a TERM signal,
bringing the specified process to an end in most cases.
