Hello,

I've created a Knoppix Server with MySQL, Apache & PHP in order to demo my companies software. I've got all services and databases running correctly as well as Mozilla automatically starting and loading a localhost page with the web application.

Here's the problem. While I've been able to save Mozilla configs with the home page and layout I have not been able to do the same for KDE.

Here's what I've done. I boot from the CD, run through the KPersonalizer wizard, then when in KDE I configure the desktop, background, colors, konsole, and etc. and copied the subsequently changed /ramdisk/home/knoppix/.kde/ * & .kderc to the /etc/skel directory in my chroot. I then chmod both .kde/ and .kderc to 755 recursively. Finally I create the CD.

KPersonalizer starts up still!! I've looked in the .kde/share/kpersonalizer in my chroot and it contains the FirstLogin=False flag.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? BTW, if anyone has any questions on getting MySQL working with PHP from a booted CD (with no HDD) let me know. The demo works great I just need to get rid of Kpersonalizer.

Getting MySQL working with PHP from a booted CD:

Copy the contents of /etc/apache/httpd.conf to a new file, delete the old one (it's actually a symlink) and save the new one (after you have edited it to enable PHP) under /etc/apache/httpd.conf

Then run

/etc/init.d/apache start
/etc/init.d/mysql start

You can even install Webmin to make things easier...
Btw, for a server you might want to boot with

knoppix 2

to get rid of the graphical stuff...
