Hi Guys.. Just wondering if it's possible to rotate my video display 90degrees so
I get the display coming up landscape style?
I have a monitor I wnat to put on its side and thus rotate the entire display…..

u have to get into your xorg.conf
and ccw = 90

how do i configure my machine (fc5) so that all users have their own public_html folder?

just under there home/username

make a folder then chmod it

for just that username
you config the httpd.config file
if you want futher information, press 1 no

got it
fixed the config

so i just installed FC5, and stupidly,

I didn't install grub, so now the OS won't boot after install, what's the easiest way to get grub onto the MBR?

I only have cdrom, not floppy

put in cd1 type linux rescue at the prompt

follow directions to chroot

then run grub-install /dev/hda
where do i get the linux rescue cd? its on cd1
oh, on the fedora cd

perfect
yes
thanks so much

I configured it so my apache will listen to a new IP I have, but I heard I need to first configure it at the eth0?

how do I do that?

no you don't
you just tell apache which ip(s) to listen on
so.. what do I do? since it does not listen to that IP
in the conf.. there is a Listen
Listen ip:port
and, where is the apache access log is?
/var/log/httpd
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
try to turn off selinux
setenforce 0
then try
same
what is your listen lines?
no need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth ?
no as long as the ip is up
up?
yes
you see it in a ifconfig -a right?
no. Its new ips
I did not use it yet.
ok then set them up and it'll work

sendmail or postfix ?
postfix
any reason not to run postfix? i've always run sendmail
config can be read by a normal person
yeah you can edit like to lines and its going
two
POSTFIX!

host bla.domain.com

then edit /etc/sysconfig/network
hostname bla.domain.com
