Very Computer

So I'm glad. I have got apache package, and correctly installed it.
My server acts as a web server. I will use apache as a proxy, so I enabled
proxy functionality ... but
I don't know how to do for dialling with my modem !
I tried pppconfig but it seems not be the only thing I have to do.

How can I continue ?

Thanks.

Have you looked the ISP-Hookup-HOWTO ?
Davide

No, I don't.
In fact, I have a very small distrib ( zipslack ) and I have not all the
docs bases I would for installing.

And it's a little bit hard for me browsing the web, since I don't have my
server OK.
So I imagined someone can give me the 'big steps' in fee words. For all the
rest, details and all, I can work by myself, I'm not so bad technician.
If yau can, thanks a lot.

In a nutshell: you must have IP-networking and PPP support in the kernel,
then you need the ppp daemon and various script to start/configure it.
Depending on your distribution you can found some information already
in the distribution CD. At least you have to configure the scripts
for your username, password and (of course) the ISP phone number.

The start/stop script for ppp depends on what kind of system you
use for validation (Chat or Chap).

I strongly suggest that you get and read the HOWTOs, it's a lot
easier...

Thank you.
I got a paper version of HOWTO, effectively it's better.
But I have another problem yet :

- when I start ppp-go ( slack distrib ), the system responds that
' ppp module lacks in kernel ' !
- if I try insmod -v ppp, the system responds that
' a ppp module already exists ' !
- if I try to unload the ppp module, the system responds that
' ppp module is busy ' !

What a brainstorm.

SYCO.

Try to recompile it not like a module but inside the kernel.
Check what exactly the ppp-go does (maybe is looking in the
wrong place...).
