php4 install

Here's a lovely one: I've been re-installing php4 from source. All went well this time. But! The make install command was supposed to have edited my httpd.conf file to enter the dynamic PHP module: LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so Which it didn't. A search shows I don't appear to have this file. It was no use hopefully editing it in (burying my head in the sand syndrome) as apache is objecting strongly. Is this familiar to anyone? (David? ;-) ) Thanks, Jenny

Well My worst fears didn't occur as I got a phone call from Mark at 1pm "Where are you" "getting cash out of a cash point which is giving me a DHCP error" replies I. Once I arrive I get a call from Andrew "I'm at tesco's how do I get to you?" which was duely sorted. 8 people turned up including Steve Fosdick Mark Ray Syd Hancock Neill Newman Andrew Glover Peter Holness Peter Clarke and me. We got the cd-writter and sound working on my new debian install and discovered why I couldn't install netscape. Other than that it was a typical meet with lots of chocy biscuits and stilulating conversation on various subjects. Notable by absence BJ Jen Jo Earl Tarquin So who wants to do the next one?

My hope was to go up the day before by train, camp over night and then go on the 12th so I can see RMS. Side Note: RMS has a lot to say and is a brilliant talker, ecentric and nuts but fanastic, Total Tangent: after RMS did a talk at BTLabs I was lucky enough to get a seat on the same table as him on the train to london, whilst on the train we over heard a discussion between two (media?) students over internet sensership, on hearing this RMS joined in an it was an amuzing debate to watch, whats more after we had left the train I caught up with the (beautiful and female) students and told them who they had just argued with. Boy was their face a picture! Back on topic: In short I highly recommend a RMS talk. > Anyway if you want to pre-register or find out more details visit > http://www.linux-expo.com/ also pre-registration has to be done before > September the 1st. Been there done that:o) I am hoping that lots of people can come and I beleive this will be yet another tribal gathering with some socialising between attending lugs. You never know I may be able to get the 3ft high Tux this time, and we can march through the streets of solihul chanting follow the penguin! :o) Thanks D > Adam > -- > This message is Copyleft - all rights reversed > Adam > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > alug, the Anglian Linux User Group list > Send list replies to alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk > http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/ http://rabbit.stu.uea.ac.uk/cgi-bin/listinfo/alug > See the website for instructions on digest or unsub! -- "Your house sounds like a fire hazard" Peter Clarke
