Hi there everyone, I am trying out new things here on differant servers and linux bases, I have no Idea if anyone outhere is using a Fedora4 install running a Lampp Server on their machines but if you are and can help me out please let me know, I am no Computer Wiz at this stuff, and I am learning by stumbling around in the dark here, I have tried the Ubuntu 6.06 Perfect install and then added the ISPConf but i cant make hide nore hair of it..... Lampp is using /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf and there is a line in there that reads "Include httpd-vhosts /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd.conf." so I have included this and then have gone in and edited the "httpd-vhost.conf to point to my two sites that I am storing on the drive. From what I have been reading I have the syntax all right but I'm buggered if I can get it to work....... Any help would be of great appreciation on either subjects..... I have spent many long nights and hair pulling times trying to figure this out but I realy need help now...... Many thanks in advance Dave
Lampp is using non-standard locations, that's why you can't get it to work. Please install your system following one of the "Perfect Setup" tutorials here on HowtoForge.
re install without sounding to stupid, can you please advise me on how to back up the 2 sites and their respective database to transfer them back after re-install ?
You can make backups of a directory with the command: These can be unpacked with the command: You can transfer the backup files with a scp client like WinSCP for windows from your server to your workstation. There are scp clients for Linux and MacOS available too. To make a backup of a MySQL database, you can use the commands mysqldump or mysqlhotcopy. There is some documenation on the mysql homepage.
