 Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2008 2:16 pm Post subject: how to enale mod_rewrite |
 |
|
Hello guys, i dont know if this is the correct thread for this question. i searched for mod_rewrite and most of the topics are written here so i take a chance.
i am totally new to linux enviroment and i need some help.
i got an invision power board running on a vds server ( gentoo ) and since the ipb is running a mod which required Apache Web Server with ***mod_rewrite*** installed
i got this apache installed.
now my question(s) are ..
How do i find out if i already gotmod_rewrite on,
how do i install it incase its not installed.
i have experinced a lot of other problems with mysql as well, do i have to update my gentoo ? is their any gentoo update command ? like windows up . i think some components are not up 2 date. i do have a shell access only.
hope some gentoo expert would answer my question |

Well then welcome to linux!

I think apache installs mod_rewrite by default. It might already be enabled in your case. You can create a php file that contains "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" and open it in your browser. This should show you a lot of interesting things -- search for something about mod_rewrite.
If it's not on, check your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf (again search for "rewrite"). You might have to uncomment the relevant line and then restart apache (/etc/init.d/apache restart).

Well, depends on what the problems are.
You can update all of gentoo by running this:
| Code: | emerge --sync
# this updates your local portage tree
emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse world
# this will display a list of packages that can be upgraded. It will ask you for confirmation before doing anything. |
If you just want to update mysql, you can run
| Code: | emerge --sync
emerge -auND mysql |
Also see the official documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1
/edit: corrected typo.

It should be in /etc/apache2. Do you maybe still have the ancient apache-1.x.x instead of the more recent apache-2x.x? What's the output of "emerge -pvt apache"? |

Hm, that's not the first time I've seen this message, but my memory isn't what it used to be 
Would you please paste the output of "emerge --info"?
Also, make sure the make.profile symlink in /etc is right. What says "ls -lashF /etc/make.prof*"?
Anyway, does the server actually work? The phpinfo thingy from above should give you all relevant information about apache's state and version. |

That server looks really messed up. Wow.
It seems they installed apache manually to /usr/local, and put it in /etc/portage/package.provided instead of correctly emerging it.
So in order to install apache the right way, you would first have to purge it from /usr/local, then remove it from package.provided.
As you are already running your board, it might be too late, or well at least cause some downtime.
In order to help with that non-standard install, we need some extra info. So please post the content of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf and the output of ls -lR /usr/local/apache/conf to http://phpfi.com
And why are they using a desktop profile on a VDS...
Are you really paying for that?

the forum is in a test enviroment right now. i personally love to have all things the right way and i dont care about the little delay. the forum is a long time process so i want to do it all in right way so i will not face problems in future.
i am not paying anything ekstra for a dekstop profile, but i guess its not needed.
so can u guys help me properly to implement the things by guiding me ? |

What I meant is that using a Gentoo desktop profile on a server doesn't make sense, and pulls in a lot of dependencies you usually do not want to have on a server. That's what the server profile is for.
| Code: | eselect profile list
eselect profile set <number of 2008.0/server profile shown there> |
For the apache & mysql stuff, take a look in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided - maybe all things installed outside portage are listed there, and hopefully they are installed to /usr/local. So try to find it there in bin/ share/ lib/ etc, and purge it.
Then install it the right way. Take a look at the Gentoo docs about USE flags.
That should get you started.
