freakingout
Just installed Redhat 9. Pretty new to it. It seems to come with a webserver, PHP and mysql. For Geeklog, do I use the versions that come with Linux or do I try to upgrade them?

Apparently, some versions of RedHat Linux come pre-installed with a version of PHP that does not include the MySQL API (see previous discussion). Other than that, it should include anything you need to run Geeklog. bye, Dirk

(I will join this site real soon.) I think Redhat 9.0 fixed all this because it already has php4, apache 2 and mysql 3.X in the install. My fear is, that Geeklog wants to see MYSQL 4. I hope its all fine as is because I\'ve never compiled programs in Linux and I am dead tired right now (been at this since 3:00AM EST!) When this Linux install is done, I\'m just gonna dump everything from the Windows box, config mysql, php the best I can figure and then see what happens. If it doesn\'t work, then tomorrow I will perhaps install for the gazillionth and oneth time. Mr. Green

Geeklog is currently targeted for MySQL 3.23.xx. You should not have problem.

Well, thanks for the help Dwight, Dirk. I\'ve finally made the transition away from Windows to Linux. A few notes to anyone else who wishes to move a Geeklog site from Windows to Linux: 1. don\'t just copy your database to the Linux system. I did this and kept getting problems. Finally, it dawned on me that I could import the database via mysqladmin. That did quite well. 2. Be prepared to suffer! I made a Samba share in Linux (I did this to allow copyingraight from Win2K to Linux) and dumped all of Geeklog from Win2K to the Samba space. VERY MANY of the files AND DIRECTORIES (i.e. folders) were in uppercase. Linux is case sensitive... I found a shell script that can lower the case for all files in a directory, but it cannot lower folder names and also it cannot work on subdirectories and the files in them. You have to cd into each directory and run the script. Better than nothing. 3. Did I mention you should be prepared to suffer? Linux is a big system. And despite its GUI\'s you can feel the ol\' and prompt beckoning. So you\'ll have to get used to command prompts. *** Now I think I am having an issue with NAT. When the mouse hovers over a menu option, the url being pointed to somehow automatically is PREFIXED with the internal IP addess! So instead of being \'ww.mysite.com/index.php\', its \'192.168.1.123/ww.mysite.com/index.php\". When I remove the site URL in config.php, the site works, except I get a lib-common warning - since the variable is empty. I am about to switch ISP\'s, to get a static IP address for the server. Current ISP wishes to charge extra and says I really can\'t use it without a lot of trouble. New ISP says no trouble at all. Will change today unless someone gives me a solution...
