Hey guys.

I got Kubuntu v7.10 installed on my system. That's quite a feat in itself...
I installed Abyss as user stephen. I then got it to run on port 80. I just typed 'sudo -s' and executed Abyss.
Anyways, it's running now and not as root.

Question 1
I don't have a konsole window open, but Abyss is running. How do I stop Abyss? I tried ./abyssws -stop, but it tries to open start Abyss and fails, saying it can't listen on the console port.

Question 2
How can I get PHP working? I don't have a clue. I downloaded a bz2 file from php.net and extracted it to /home/stephen/php_5.2.5. How do I make a CGI interpreter out of it so it can work with Abyss?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
I'm sure I'll have many more inquiries venturing into a non-Microsoft product!

Open your web browser to http://127.0.0.1:9999, log in and click stop.

I don't know what the package manager is called in the KDE version (it is called Synaptic on Xubuntu), but just install php5 like any other package. Once it is installed, follow the fine manual on the Aprelium website.

That just stops the host. I mean to terminate the Abyss Web Server process(es). I can't find a Ctrl-Alt-Delete-like feature where I can terminate processes in Kubuntu.

To get a process list I always do:
Code:
ps -ax
Then kill with the ID #.

Thanks so much rrinc! I knew it wouldn't be too complicated.

So far, I have X1 with MySQL and PHP working properly. Abyss starts automatically, since I followed these directions.

I have Samba working, even though it's still a little buggy. It's great to edit your files remotely with drive letter access!

I also got the little TightVNC client (Download - 372 KB). I can manage the Linux box's desktop on my WinXP computer (Instructions)

Now, the only problem...

I'd like to move my htdocs to another hard drive on a FAT32 partition. I tried making an alias to that partition, but Abyss won't show any of the files or folders on this partition. In Dolphin (the file manager) and from the command line, everything's there. I have permissions to view, create, and delete to this partition.
So, can I get Abyss to work with a FAT32 partition?
