Puppy LAMP Distro for website developers

[ecomoney]

Ive found a copy of watchdog on my hard disk.

I am uploading it here to my mirror, but it will take about an hour and a half from this post.

Would someone add the link to the documentation for watchdog...I am really bad with Wiki's

Sorry....I did do both steps, in the order stated....and it did not fix the problem.

Sorry to hear that. May be I need to get back to basic.
1) When you say you have permission problem, what is it do you have? Is it possible to upload a screenshot of the permission problem?
2) I assume that you have puppy installed as frugal, on a non-flash device (e.g. regular harddisk etc). If you use ATA flash or USB thumbdrive, then what I'm going to suggest will not work and I have to give you another instruction.
2a) Open a terminal
2b) Type this command:

Code: Select all

ls -lR /initrd/pup_rw/opt/lampp | gzip -9 > /root/x.gz

This code will create a file named x.gz in your home directory (/root), containing a compressed list of all files in the /opt/lampp directory, in your savefile. Please upload this file to the forum so that I can take a look at it and make a better guess of what's going wrong.

Btw the code is, for avoidance of doubt, phonetically read as follows:
small-L small-S space hyphen small-L capital-R space /initrd/pup_rw/opt/lampp space vertical-bar space gzip space hyphen number-9 space > /root/x.gz

cheers!

AMP for Puppy 4 series by growler is here:
http://www.eminima.org/lamp/growler-amp_412.sfs

Copy to /mnt/home and reboot.

Is that the same as
http://minipc.org/lamp/growler-amp_412.sfs

If it is, while it works...I can not get the virtual hosts to work using a bootable USB drive.

Apache complains that I do not have rights to access /

My error...I am using a bootable USB drive...sorry I did not specifiy that.

My guess is that some directive in the httpd.conf file is not correct for a usb drive.....I uncommented the virtual hosts directive and set the cirtualhosts config file to point at /mnt/home/htdocs and I no longer get the error message(I had copied htdocs to the usb drive)

I thought I was out of the woods....but I can not get any other virtual hosts to work correctly. The same behavior exists with growler-amp_412.sfs

So you don't even get the xampp welcome page? Hmmm. I have never tried puppy installation on USB, so yeah, perhaps I need to try first before I can even talk intelligibly to you

Anyway, can you confirm that your USB installation is:
a) puppy in USB drive (installation on root directory)
b) xampp.sfs is also in USB drive (root directory of it)
c) Can you tell me where /mnt/home is pointing?

I'm trying to get into an identical setup as yours so that hopefully I can reproduce the problem and then fix it.

For others who happen to read this thread, and have already treaded down this path, an advice or two is much appreciated.

cheers!

I guess this is related to permissions - perhaps xampp is run as the user nobody and doesn't have permissions over the directory you wish to use as a virtual host ?

I get this error:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8i PHP/5.2.8 mod_apreq2-20051231/2.6.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0 Server at localhost Port 80

Anyway, can you confirm that your USB installation is:
a) puppy in USB drive (installation on root directory)
b) xampp.sfs is also in USB drive (root directory of it)
c) Can you tell me where /mnt/home is pointing?

a.Puppy is installed on a bootable USB Drive /mnt/sdb1
b. xampp.sfs is in the root of the above drive
c. /mnt/home point to /mnt/sdb1

What's interesting is that the growler412.sfs, mounted as above works fine.

So, why did I try the xampp.sfs?
a. I can't get the growler to work with virtual hosts
b. I believe MU's sfs has more of the xampp distro

I also tried installing the Linux version that I downloaded from Apachefriends....but it to gives me the same error.

I would love to get any or all of the sfs files to work, not only with the "out of the box" setup, but also be able to use virtual hosts.

Thanks

Thom
