Moving to a new computer

So here we go again, last computer is so full (1.9 Gig and I filled it up!) and so clogged with MDF dust that the cpu fan has come to a halt. So project will involve:
  1. Install ISDN
  2. Install network card
  3. Transfer WinTV card
  4. Transfer Files from Eric2, Eric3, McMeric
  5. Reformat Eric2 drives to MSDos
  6. Install Linux on Eric2
  7. Install McMeric at Ruth's
  8. Clean Eric3

Install ISDN

The bad bit is installing the Pace UltraLink TA BEWARE the Pace Ultralink is an ambiguously named 1440 baud modem of some age.

What you should really do is look at the notes you took last time. Assuming that you get it right this time :).

Install network card

Don't talk about it. Just bought one from MCM and slotted it in.

Transfer WinTV card

Install Daytona

Install WinTV

Just locks up screen.

Transfer Files from Eric2, Eric3, McMeric

This turns out to be a real headache, as I want to clean the others down, and they have archive stuff from years ago. So copied all zips from old machines or deleted them. Copied Eudoar from mcmeric Copied paneris first from eric3, then mcmeric.

Install necessary stuff

Winproxy

Winzip 7.0

WS FTP

Copy Eudora directory from mcmeric

PFE

M$ broken COM required by Perl

Active States Perl 5

JDK

JSDK

Apache 1.3.4

There are a few problems here.
For reasons I have not found explained the lastest version of Apache does not pass through your environment varoables, unless you tell it to with PassEnv, so I used 
SetEnv CGI_DIRECTORY D:/paneris/cgi-bin/
SetEnv PERL_INCLUDE  D:/paneris/cgi-bin;D:/paneris/cgi-bin/DX
SetEnv PERLLIB       C:/Perl/lib
Note that CGI_DIRECTORY is now a declining feature :) I was unpleasantly supprised to find that I had to explicitly import perllib, but this is because I have installed perl under C:\perl and another copy of /perl/bin under /usr/bin so that scripts are compatible with DIRCON who use #!/usr/bin/perl5 .

Apache JServ 1.0b2

Turns out that this has a bug in it such that the ApacheJServ.jar is zero bytes long. Copied the .jar from previous release and it worked.

Setup apache

Note that ssi scripts must return a header for Apache, which they did not need to for website.

Setup Webmacro

Works fine.

The END
