Knoppix as webserver
When I try apache start (under etc\init.d) I get an error:
host valid name not found in ServerName. How do I fix this ? How can I edit a config file like hosts ?
thanks

Here's what I did:
Delete the symbolic links /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
copy the same files back from /KNOPPIX/etc/hostname and KNOPPIX/etc/host
Edit the files to define the appropriate new names, and then run the command:
hostname your_new_hostname

what about changing properties of files ?
Tak Lars !
I try what you said but I cannot save the edited files or even delete them. How can I change the properties of the config files so I could change them ?

--You *are* doing this as Root, aren't you?

logging as root...
As the login is automatic, I think I was logged as root ! !!!
How do I login as root ? Using su- ? What's the password ?

Re: logging as root...
--You would do well to browse the historical posts on this board and on http://www.linuxtag.org/cgi-bin/yabb...ard=knoppix-en before asking such a question, but here we go again...
Just hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and you will be at one of (4) Root prompts. F1 thru F4. Alt-F5 (or is it F7?) gets you back to the GUI.
--Just as There Is No Spoon, there is no root password.
--You would also do well to learn the SEVERE DANGERS INVOLVED when you try running everything as root. This is why we have USER accounts. Otherwise you make it EASY for your system to get cracked.

ok !!!
OK! It works now ! Thanks !
I also found an easy way:
There is an option in the KDE menu for "Browse files as Root"or something like this, in system. From there you can delete and edit very easy the files.
After that just put your html page in var/www/ . and call apache.
In 5 minutes (including boot) you can put a webserver "on air" :>)
Another question now is : How do I enter as root if I start Knoppix in only text mode ?

DO NOT tell people to hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 again!
I could not get back to the GUI after that, and I had to finally shut down manually by doing the shutdown -r now thing.
F1-F4, Alt-F5 (or F7) would not work.
so I repeat DO NOT TELL SOMEONE TO DO THAT AGAIN!
thank you.
and to answer your question,
you don't need to use sudo
just type su at a command terminal and you'll be at root
knoppix logs on as user knoppix (even though it askes you what username and password you want, it still uses the default knoppix anyways) so just type su to get to a root prompt, thats it.
or su [username] to switch users
