http://howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch_p4 Been using that. I get to the instruction /etc/init.d/bind9 start, but it tells me it's failed. I checked the log for errors, and as far as I know, it's empty. My /etc/network/interfaces is as follows: Code: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface #allow-hotplug eth0 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.74 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.1.254 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 192.168.1.254 dns-search pcsscreston.ca As far as I know, that information is correct. I can't verify today (instructor is not present) but I can by tomorrow. As well, whenever I try to do anything regarding mySQL, I get Code: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed I'm new to Linux, so bear with me If I'm not providing the necessary information, just ask and I'll get it to you.
can you log into the sql server mysql -u root -p ( use the -p if you set a password on root account ) and make sure you got the mysql to start up on the boot :
