[09:26] <genii> Any good online docs for Freeradius/Postgre/Postfix setup? I am migrating some ancient FreeBSD servers over
[09:30] <nospi> hey
[09:31] <genii> hi
[09:31] <nospi> i want to make a site in php, i've just moved from windows to linux
[09:31] <nospi> what are some good graphical editors?
[09:31] <genii> Well, php is the same no matter the platform
[09:31] <nospi> yeah
[09:31] <genii> Are you using KDE?
[09:31] <nospi> gnome
[09:31] <nospi> but i have the KDE desktop
[09:32] <nospi> its annoying me though, since i got it i can't change my login window preferences
[09:32] <genii> Well, thats another issue :) But if you have KDE lots of ppl use kdevelop for general development 
[09:33] <nospi> genii, yeah, i've got that
[09:33] <nospi> genii, you don't know how to fix that login thing do you?
[09:33] <genii> what, you can't choose to use gniome or kde from the login screen?
[09:34] <nospi> genii, i like gnome better, so i use it
[09:34] <nospi> genii, once i've logged in though, i go to System, Administration, Login Window Preferences
[09:34] <nospi> genii, it asks for a password, says in the taskbar that it's Starting admin blah ...
[09:34] <nospi> then it doesn't open
[09:34] <nospi> disappears from the task bar
[09:35] <genii> bleh...no clue
[09:35] <nospi> damn
[09:35] <nospi> the gnome splash screen and login thing is really annoying me
[09:35] <nospi> i found a really cool login theme thingy and i can't use it 
[09:36] <genii> you may want to ask in the general #ubuntu cvhannel, someone will likely know 
[09:36] <nospi> i have, a few times
[09:36] <nospi> might have been a bad time though
[09:36] <nospi> how should i phrase it? it's a long question
[09:37] <genii> something like: my "Login Window Preferences" window fails to open
[09:37] <nospi> genii, that's a good one, thanks :p
[09:37] <genii> :)
[09:40] <nospi> no luck yet ;(
[09:50] <nospi> can anyone help me install phpmyadmin and mysql?
[09:50] <nospi> i have apache installed already, and php is working
[09:51] <genii> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114129
[09:53] <nospi> genii, thanks
[09:53] <genii> np
[09:54] <nospi> hmm
[09:54] <nospi> all of that is done
[09:54] <nospi> but http://localhost/phpMyAdmin gives an error
[09:54] <nospi> genii, Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation
[09:55] <genii> you may need a package like phpmysql or so
[09:55] <nospi> genii, oh right
[09:56] <nospi> genii, nope. got it
[09:56] <nospi> php-mysql
[09:56] <nospi> maybe mysql isn't configured
[09:56] <genii> Quite possible :)
[09:56] <nospi> damn
[09:56] <nospi> better google for a setup guide then...
[09:57] <genii> You may want to do a restart of apache: eg    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart    then try again
[09:57] <genii> it keeps data from previous setup usually
[09:59] <nospi> genii, ok
[10:01] <nospi> how do i do this?
[10:01] <nospi> Use the --with-mysql[=DIR]  
[10:01] <nospi> sorry, im very new to linux
[10:02] <genii> Usually that is the dir which the databases go by default. Normally something like /usr/var/mysql   or /var/mysql     but you may want to see whats in those dirs first
[10:03] <nospi> but what do i run that configure option with? i don't know where phpmyadmin is installed, so i don't know where to run it from
[10:05] <nospi> brb
[10:05] <nospi> gotta go eat dinner
[10:05] <nospi> hungry :p
[10:06] <genii> If you put some url like http://localhost/phpmyadmin/   you may get some clue
[11:12] <nospi> genii, bah, still not working. i'm following a few guides, i'll keep looking
[11:14] <genii> OK. I'm to and from keyboard a lot
[11:14] <nospi> i only just got back myself
[11:14] <nospi> i asked on the ubuntu chat
[11:14] <nospi> more people in there might know
[11:14] <nospi> but i doubt it will help
[11:19] <genii> Hmm, perhaps try http://www.inorp.com/blog/2007/01/22/ubuntu-php5-mysql-apache2-installation-order/
[11:22] <nospi> thanks
[11:23] <nospi> genii, ahh, that looks like that i needed
[11:23] <nospi> i'll try that 
[11:23] <genii> keep me posted :)
[11:24] <nospi> genii, will do
[11:29] <nospi> genii, yay!
[11:29] <nospi> genii, i fixed it
[11:29] <genii> Cool :)
[11:29] <nospi> genii, i hadn't installed libapache2-mod-php5 because i didnt know i needed it
[11:29] <nospi> genii, i had php4 installed too
[11:29] <genii> Well, glad to see all is well then
[11:30] <nospi> genii, thanks for your help :)
[11:31] <genii> Glad to assist
[11:33] <nospi> how do i copy a whole dir?
[11:33] <nospi> cp ?
[11:33] <genii> cp -R
[11:33] <nospi> ahh, thanks :)
[11:34] <genii> :)
[11:34] <nospi> goddammit. one more question :p how do i delete a dir that is not empty without having to delete all the files in it?
[11:34] <nospi> i did man rmdir
[11:35] <nospi> but the --ignore-fail-on-empty didn't work :(
[11:35] <nospi> nevermind :p
[12:41] <nospi> anyone here know how to configure PHP-Fusion?
[12:41] <nospi> i get a blank page after i have entered the db details
[12:44] <genii> Are you running some ISP?
[12:44] <nospi> genii, ?
[12:45] <nospi> genii, just a home server
[12:45] <genii> Ah, Ok
[12:45] <nospi> genii, it displays the logo
[12:45] <nospi> but nothing else
[12:45] <nospi> and it's changing the info in config.php
[12:45] <nospi> bah
[12:45] <nospi> this used to be sooo easy
[12:45] <genii> Did you just straight untar it or so into some dir?
[12:46] <nospi> it's a zip file, it's in /var/www/php-fusion/php-files 
[12:46] <nospi> unzipped
[12:46] <nospi> i can get to the setup page
[12:46] <genii> Check permissions
[12:46] <nospi> yeah, permissions are fine
[12:47] <nospi> it says Permissions check passed, complete the following and click next
[12:47] <genii> Did you have a db premade ?
[12:47] <nospi> i fill it out, click next and i get a blank page with just a php-fusion logo
[12:47] <nospi> yeah
[12:48] <genii> what user did you say to connect as?
[12:49] <nospi> nospi
[12:49] <nospi> has full permissions, both MySQL and phpMyAdmin
[12:49] <genii> Dis you create that user previously on mysql?
[12:49] <genii> Ah, OK
[12:49] <nospi> doesn't work as root either
[12:49] <genii> well, it shouldn't by default
[12:50] <genii> try mysql as user for a test
[12:51] <genii> Also, was there some .sql file you may need to create initial entries?
[12:51] <nospi> no
[12:51] <nospi> what do you mean, try mysql as user?
[12:51] <nospi> i've never had to do this before
[12:52] <nospi> i always used wamp, which was pre-configured for windows
[12:52] <genii> I mean instead of root or nospci put the username as mysql    the default password should either be nothing or "mysql" (no quotes)
[12:52] <nospi> oh right
[12:52] <nospi> i'll try that
[12:53] <nospi> is doesn't matter what i use, it still gives me that blank page :(
[12:53] <genii> bleh :( Well, I just got a phonecall so must leave
[12:53] <genii> good luck
[12:53] <nospi> thanks :)
