Hamm installation kinks
Is it just me, or has anyone else got problems with an eighteen-and-a-half
Mb lastlog file appearing on a hamm system within minutes of completing
installation? [see: /var/log/lastlog
[ i486DX/100; 16Mb RAM; 800 Mb native partition, 64 Mb swap partition;
pukka UK 24th July 1998 official Debian 2.0 CD (i386 binary main) ]
Any ideas what this logfile (really) represents?
Also: has anyone else found that -
1) emacs20; auctex and w3-el will *not* install properly until tm is blown
away? [remove: tm
And are either of the above connected in some abstruse way?
2) There is a strong likelihood that if CustomLogs have been chosen
in httpd.conf, Apache will *not* start until: either a logs
directory has been created by hand for httpd to dump e.g. a [combined]
access_log in; or the default locations have been hand-edited by more than
just a simple comment-character deletion. (There is an inconsistency in
presentation here that is likely to go right over the heads of newbies.)
It had me worried for a while -- until I looked at where stuff was going,
and decided to send it *all* to /var/log/apache/.
All comments appreciated.
