I haven't been on the forums much lately.

Thanks Jason, Eric and Raffy.

Here anyone is free to do anything they want to. Anyone can create as many webpages, news sites about Puppy. Nothing will stop this. If we aggregate all this using an automated aggregator, then its again going to bring some unwanted, repetitive, not-official, newbie-unfriendly and too much technical...

@Fishback, If you can volunteer to contribute the main development and official news for Puppy, then I recommend that you register on the new news site - http://puppylinux.org/news . The task might involve reading the scattered information available and read Barry's blog and translate the informatio...

Thanks PG. Yeah, its really a coincidence. As we were discussing this solution too. The second (shorter) command you mentioned works correctly.

Yes, I agree that Barry's blog can be considered too technical by some. However, this is the most followed and has upto date information on what is going with Puppy's latest releases and stuff. Puppylinux.org is from the community. The site is being revised now due to performance issues. In the futu...

http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090824#feature The conslusions? After using it for a few days, I have to say Puppy is a mixed bag. Some things are done really well, but other things are disappointing. On the positive side, Puppy has a clean look, is lightning-fast and very small, making i...

Uually I've seen the "error binding to port 80" error when an instance of Hiawatha is already running or when some other program is using to serve through port 80.

Thom,

Can you post the output from running /etc/init.d/rc.httpd stop and /etc/init.d/rc.httpd start ?

I just finished testing in 4.2retro and 4.21retro and it worked fine.

Thom,

What version of Puppy are you using? I tested this on 4.2.1 and 4.3 Beta and it works well. However I tested this on 4.2 SMP and it did not work. It gives a error "error redirecting stdout".

What are the outputs from

Yeah, please try this link. Lets see if this works.
http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/Intern ... -5.2.9.pet

Does it show any additional errors or warnings at all? This just says that petget is not working on your installation. Otherwise there would be additional information about starting mysql and hiawatha. Did you download the latest link or from the earlier link? The earlier link had a problem and grow...

Looks like the pet never got installed properly. Can you try running petget from the command line and post any errors? petget LAMP-6.16-5.1.35-5.2.9.pet Also, if a previous version of the LAMP pet was present, try removing that before installing this new one. You can backup any data you had to anoth...

I just tested this again and it works fine for me. Installed it fresh and browse to http://localhost to see the phpinfo page there. What does this command show? ps aux | grep hiawatha If Hiawatha is running, one of the lines should contain /usr/sbin/hiawatha -c /etc/hiawatha if this line is not show...

Sqlite support is already present in the PHP, Hiawatha package. MySQL is another option for DB provided as it is used widely in popular apps.
