what is putty in linux?

kanth_bopp

Answer
Your question is hard to understand. Putty is a ssh client. If you have Linux installed you can open up the terminal and use the ssh command as follows

ssh user@somewhere.org

and connect to a ssh server running.

Putty does the same thing on windows that does not have a ssh command.

linux putty directory?

jackal_04

Quick question when connecting to a linux box by putty:

Once I login in, I cannot see the directoy I am in. i.e. /usr/local>
It shows me -bash-3.2$>
is there a command to make it display the directory I am in..I wont be able to keep track of the directory I am in otherwise!

Answer
Put the following into your .bash_profile :

export PS1='\w> '

If you also want to show the current time in the prompt, and have the '$' show up as a '#' when you're root, then make it something like:

export PS1='\A \w\$ '

There is a full list and explanation of the expansions you can put into your prompt strings, in bash's manual page on Linux. Just type "man bash".

How do you run apache web server in linux?

successful

Hey guys,

I'm a newby and getting started with linux for the first time. I'm reading the book, "Beginning PHP 5.3", and it keeps mentioning to start programs, I need to go to "System -> Administration" etc. I don't know where to find "System". Can someone help me located where "System" is? I am trying to run the apache web server; already ran the synaptic package manager and installed apache from there. Thanks in advanced.

Eric

Answer
It's running, linux generally uses text files to configure things as opposed to GUI programs, so there's no menu or wizard anywhere to configure it as there would be on for Windows programs. Go to 'localhost' in your web browser and if you see "It works!" then apache is working and running on your system.

Usually web files will go in /var/www/, so if you put test1.html in that folder then you can see it at

http://localhost/test1.html

Make sure php is also installed and just place all your web files in that folder.

How to make an Apache Server using Linux?

Daniel

Hi I am using linux debian on an old imac g3. I have gotten the web server up to a point where I can see the 'It Works' page but now what? I want to add Joomla to it but I don't know how to make it load like cpanel does. Help!

Answer
a) Download Joomla
[code]
cd /var/www
sudo wget -c http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/14659/64120/Joomla_1.6.3-Stable-Full_Package.zip
sudo unzip Joomla_1.6.3-Stable-Full_Package.zip
sudo rm index.html
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data *
[/code]

b) Setup MySQL & phpmyadmin
[code]
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo wget -c http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/3.3.10/phpMyAdmin-3.3.10-all-languages.tar.gz
sudo tar xvfz phpMy*
sudo mv phpMy* phpmyadmin
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data phpmyadmin
sudo mv phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
sudo nano phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
[/code]
During the installation, it will ask you for the mysql password. set it, and remember it.

Now,
At this point, add something to the part where it says you need to add something for blowfish authentication. Just type a whole load of random characters.

Press Control + X to save.

visit http://< web server address >/phpmyadmin

login with username 'root' and the password you set before.

Create a new database named "joomla"

Now, visit http://< web server address >
Your database name is the one you just created.
User is "root"
password is the password that you set.

Its not exactly secure to use the root account, but as your only using it for personal purposes, it doesn't matter much.

Help installing downloaded package for ubuntu linux?

Q. I downloaded a game called Vdrift for linux, the packege file is on my desktop but I have no idea how to install it with the package manager. Any idea's?

Answer
Is the package a .deb?

To install a package manually, open a terminal and go to the directory for the desktop, its probably ~/Desktop, issue the ls command to see files there. If you see the .deb package, then type 'sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb', and that should install it.

What is a good site to get linux software at?

denimcap

Something like cnet, with ratings and etc?

Whenever I want a linux program, I end up having to sift through dozens of websites, making and uninstalling dozens of programs, before I find a decent user friendly interface.

Answer
The best way to download linux software is through your distributions built-in package manager. Without knowing your distro, I can't tell you the name, it could be Yum, Synaptic, Yast, or something eles.
It also it looks like you need assistance with finding the right application to use. I would recommend Linux app finder, which sorts popular linux apps by catagory and rates them too. The alternatives link will help you find Linux alternatives for popular Windows apps.

How can I download Ubuntu Linux with Xp?

ubuntu linux download image

Q. I want to download Ubuntu on my computer, but i don't know how.
What is the best and easiest burner?

Answer
Take a look at installing Ubuntu 9.04 using Wubi installer
http://wubi-installer.org/

Using Wubi there is no need to burn a disc. as Ubuntu installs direct from the iso. image

You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.

Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

I know what bittorrent's are. I'm looking for something similar to limewire that I can jsut download a single song.

Answer
Ubuntu does not have limewire in its repository but it does have many other bit torrent clients; which lime wire is.
If you go to allmyapps.com and search for p2p you will find 26 file downloaders. They are all free. Try them and see what you like. If you look at the right side of the page you will find any reviews and how many times it has been downloaded; a good sign of how good/popular it is.

What is the best linux version for a DELL Latitude D600 laptop?

linux version image

Sgt. Peppe

I have a DELL Latitude D600 that was passed down to me by my older sister. The XP on it has some bad malware and is generally corrupted. What would be the best Linux version to either replace it , or do a dual boot?
It is about 5 years old.

Answer
Almost any distro will install with a dual boot option. Which distro you install depends on how much horsepower you have and what you want to do.

Since there are over 300 distros, and a few CDRWs are pretty cheap, download a few that sound interesting and try them. DSL (Damn Small Linux) or PCLinuxOS minime might be good for a smaller computer, but Ubuntu might run well too.

They're free - take 2. Or 20. Have fun. That's what it's all about. (Until you decide to earn your living doing what you do for fun.)

What is the easiest Linux version to install and use for a newbie?

Jambek

Hello.

I have never installed nor used Linux before.
I heard it's better than Windows and i have a spare old laptop which is broken now.

Now i thought about installing Linux on it. But since i never used Linux before, i need a version which is easy to install and use for a newb like me.

And i have also a few questions about it:
Can i still play Java games such as RuneScape?
Can i still browse the web like on Windows?

Thanks in advance!
My laptop specifications are:

around 186 mb ram
around 560 mhz processor speed
and 5 gb diskspace

Answer
your RAM is too low for most of linux versions. try Xubuntu http://www.xubuntu.org/
it's very complete and simple. and it's based on ubuntu, so you have many programs available for it.

to answer your other questions:
yes, you can install java on Linux, and you can browse the web just like you do on Windows.

Ubuntu isn't for experts like that other poster says. In fact Linux mint is based off of the exact same branch of linux that ubuntu is based on. They are both Debian Linux w/ alot of user and gui customizations for end users.
