I have embarked on the adventure of converting the lab I just took over administering. I have 12 computers (10 workstations and 2 servers) running RH9 and I am moving to Debian. I brought home one machine that has identical hardware to the current webserver/mailserver/firewall. I booted Knoppix on it last night and did a chroot install of Woody.
The real challenge is that I must completely replicate the functionality and content of the current machine on the new machine. That way I can simply plug in the new machine, boot it up, unplug the network cables from the old machine and into the new machine, and have minimal down time. I installed Apache 1.3 and PHP4, but I can't get them to work. I tar'ed up the /var/www directory on the remote machine and scp'ed it to the new one, where I untar'ed. Since the current machine is running Apache 2.0, on RH9, the DocumentRoot is set to /var/www/html, and there are other things in /var/www that should not be publicly accessible. I edited /etc/apache/httpd.conf and change the DocumentRoot to /var/www/html/, added the appropriate entries for PHP processing, and restarted Apache. The problems I am having are: 1) when punch 192.168.0.4 (the IP of the machine on my network) into the address bar of Firebird, I get the placeholder page instead of the page from /var/www/html/ 2) when punch 192.168.0.4/html/ into the address bar, I get a dialog box indicating that Firebird doesn't know what do with one of the .php files, and would I like to download it or use the default app. So it looks like PHP is not processing the scripts. Any ideas on what I am missing? Also, some other things which I will need to get working shorlty and would like some suggestions on: 1) Duplicating an existing MySQL database (I have no experience with MySQL) 2) Getting apache-ssl sonfigure to work with Horde for secure email with IMAP (I think). I will also need to copy the keys and certificates of the current machine. -Roberto ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
