| mikubuntu | guys, is webmin an integral/essential part of the lamp installation? It failed to load from sourceforge, and now when i look at webmin homepage, it says its a unix program, but under downloads has a debian package. ubuntu is debian, right? should i download this one? | 13:32 |
| mikubuntu | i was following the instructions on this page: http://www.firehazrd.com/ubuntu/how-to-setup-lamp-on-ubuntu-710 , and as far as i know everything else loaded properly ... | 13:33 |
| Gh0sty | webmin is just an easy webinterface to manage your stuff but its certainly not essential | 13:41 |
| Gh0sty | i advise even against it since in the past it tended to break systems ... :| | 13:41 |
| Gh0sty | and security has never been very good with that, but ofcourse you need to have a bit of command line knowledge then to configure your stuff | 13:42 |
| mikubuntu | Gh0sty: what other program would fullfill the mission that you might recommend? i just managed to download webmin with gdebi, and then i was going to install magento, which is a fairly new ecommerce app that looks pretty good to me, but i'm a newbie, so anything shiney always looks good to me :) | 13:57 |
| Gh0sty | have a look at ispconfig (but i have the impression the site is down for the moment, must be a Y2k8 problem ...) | 13:59 |
| mikubuntu_ | hmmmmm.... i wonder if you would consider helping me download the proper file for magento install? this is the page: http://www.magentocommerce.com/download and i'm not sure which package to select. | 14:06 |
| Gh0sty | tar.bz2 will do | 14:08 |
| Gh0sty | probably its only webinterface so does not really matter | 14:08 |
| Gh0sty | only different types of compression | 14:08 |
| mikubuntu_ | so the bz2 is the one at the bottom of the ddropdown list; how do i unpack it once downloaded? | 14:10 |
| mikubuntu_ | wait, there's two bz2 files; you mean the larger one that appears last on the drop down? | 14:11 |
| h00s | mikubuntu_: tar xvzf filename.tar.bz2 /destination-directory | 14:11 |
| mikubuntu_ | ok, well i started to download to the desktop. can you spell out the command i have to use? i assume i have to sudo right? | 14:15 |
| h00s | if you will extracting to /var/www then you must use sudo, yes. if you extracting to Desktop, home dir etc then you don't have to use sudo | 14:17 |
| mikubuntu_ | hmmm, so still i don't know what to do with the file | 14:18 |
| mikubuntu_ | when i right click on the file on the desktop, it asks if i want to open with arcvhive mgr or another? | 14:19 |
| mikubuntu_ | also '[extract here]' appears on right click | 14:20 |
| h00s | mikubuntu_: you must extract it and then move that extracted directory to /var/www. in /var/www are located web server files. since magentocom. is web application, it's must be located in that folder so the apache/php can serve it... | 14:25 |
| mikubuntu_ | h00s: i extracted it on the desktop and now there's a folder icon there below the bz2 file that says 'magento' 10 items... is that the one you want me to move? can you tell me how? | 14:29 |
| h00s | yes, that's the directory you have to move. to move it, type this in terminal: sudo mv ~/Desktop/magento /var/www | 14:31 |
| mikubuntu_ | what's the BEST way to get the files where they need to go? should i have not extracted to desktop? should i trash that, and open the tar with anotther app? | 14:31 |
| mikubuntu_ | ok, lemme try | 14:31 |
| mikubuntu_ | should there have been any output in terminal? do i need to check it? din't see any output ... | 14:34 |
| mikubuntu_ | i forgot how to cli check for file location | 14:36 |
| h00s | if there's no output, it's ok. there shouldn't be magento directory on desktop anymore.. | 14:36 |
| mikubuntu_ | ok, you | 14:36 |
| mikubuntu_ | youre right, it's gone! | 14:37 |
| mikubuntu_ | does that make me a developomer now? | 14:37 |
| h00s | :D | 14:39 |
| mikubuntu_ | so, how do i make the whole thing launchable now? it doesn't appear in menu yet... do i just have to launch magento, or do i have to start the whole LAMP every time i work on it? | 14:39 |
| h00s | all the way :) | 14:39 |
| mikubuntu_ | i should call the bank and see if any money is pouring in yet | 14:40 |
| h00s | it's not application like other applications on your desktop. it's a web app so you have to "run" it from browser (http://localhost/magento). yes, you must have running apache+php and mysql to able to work on it. | 14:40 |
| mikubuntu_ | ummmm.... so how to launch all of them if they don't appear on menu? | 14:41 |
| h00s | also, you must configure magento (connection to your mysql database etc.). since it is magento specific, i can't help it with that | 14:41 |
| h00s | look up :) "run" it from browser (http://localhost/magento) | 14:42 |
| mikubuntu_ | ya, i'm gonna start studying all their forums more, but they din't have but five ppl in #magento .... | 14:43 |
| mikubuntu_ | h00s: so when i 'launch' http://localhost/magento will it automagically start the LAMP features it requires, i.e., apache, mysql, php, etc...? | 14:44 |
| h00s | mikubuntu_: noup, it's starts automatically with server/computer if they are installed | 14:46 |
| mikubuntu_ | guess not, i tried and it said 'magento not on this server' | 14:46 |
| mikubuntu_ | so i have to configure magento to those components, but how do i do that if i can't launch it? | 14:47 |
| mikubuntu_ | you're prolly busy, i guess i should stop torturing you with this drivel ... | 14:48 |
| h00s | yeah, sry i respond slow, working on something here. there's too much questions and it's quite difficult to answer it on irc. i suggest you search http://help.ubuntu.com, advanced topis, installing servers etc. | 14:51 |
| mikubuntu_ | thanks for all your help. was just studying the magento wiki, and i guess i'll go back to #magento and see if anybody showed up there yet. | 15:01 |
| mikubuntu_ | oh, yeah, and i gotta call the bank. | 15:02 |
| J_5 | how do i tell what version of packages i have installed? Like apache, php, etc? | 16:05 |

| nealmcb | J_5: apt-cache policy apache2 | 16:20 |
| nealmcb | Happy New Year, All!! | 16:21 |
| J_5 | nealmcb: thanks! and happy new year to you as well | 16:25 |
| nealmcb | :-) | 16:25 |
| J_5 | if i apt-get remove a package, does that remove everything? including log files? | 16:28 |
| nealmcb | J_5: you need to also purge it to remove configuration files. I'm not sure about log files | 16:32 |
| J_5 | how do i purge it? | 16:34 |
| nealmcb | J_5: see "man apt-get" | 16:55 |
| J_5 | nealmcb: ok thanks | 16:56 |
