I’d have a feeling might be do to the fact it can’t access mysql. Are you able to access it via the console? Not had a chance to get one running in test yet.

Comment on BeOS 10 Years Ago.. by Dave

I do wonder though if peoples efforts would be better concentrated on one of the other operating systems out there (there are enough of them now!)

on a BeOS note, I was clearing out some old software cupboards at work a while back and found a BeOS release3 CD along with boot floppy! One of these days I’ll have a go and see if It installs – Just need to find myself a floppy drive first!

Jeezus. BeOS. I had the same CD I think, BeOS Personal Edition 5, I think there was an installer in the Live CD to install some files and a shortcut onto a Windows partition and you ran BeOS by clicking the shortcut. I *might* still have it somewhere but I think I threw it away when I realised it wouldn’t boot on anything any more. I think there was a copy of Doom that came with it, or I installed it somehow.

I met the Haiku guys at LRL USA and I was going on about what a shame it was that all that BeOS code was just sitting in a vault at Palm somewhere and some of it was being used in proprietary embedded or real-time OSes and they were saying that it really doesn’t matter any more since most of the code would be useless these days. I checked out Haiku a few times and just like you, the novelty wears off when you realise there’s actually not much to do.

Funny hearing somebody else tell their BeOS/Haiku story though

Hi Samuel,

Sorry I wasn’t very clear there. First off, if you haven’t got a /var/www/ then likely you haven’t got Apache installed. So To do that run:

sudo aptitude install apache2

Then you will have a /var/www to move stuff into. The your_server was meant to be whatever address your server has. If you are on the machine itself that would be localhost so

http://localhost/orangehrm/

if the server was on the network at address 192.168.1.1 then it would be

http://192.168.1.1/orangehrm/

Does that help ?

Thanks for the guide, however I can not get to “http://you_server/orangehrm”

and don’t have a folder “/var/www ” on my system I am using Ubuntu 9.04.

Please provide a step by step guide. I am very new to linux and ubuntu.

Thanks in advance
