Talk:Use the Custom Ipkg Installer

Hi Daniël,

I only get 2 packages when using the ipkg list function:

openssl - 0.9.7d-4 - wget-ssl - 1.10-1 -

are there more?

--zdDog

Oh yeah... you have to type "ipkg update" to tell it to get the latest lists. Dbeardsl 07:58, 2 July 2006 (CEST)

Roger that....

--zdDog

OK, that did it. I wanted to install zlib: did a ipkg list *zlib* and got 2:

• apache22-php-zlib - 5.1.2-2 - The ZLib module for the PHP scripting language

• zlib - 1.2.3-1 - zlib is a library implementing the 'deflate' compression system

I installed the first, but the joomla installation pre-check still says : no zlib installed

was it the wrong one and if so, can I remove it and will the second one do the trick (can I install over the first)?

all linux lamer questions I'm sure...

zdDog

That's the correct one, but I'm sure you have to do something to the PHP installation to let it use the ZLib module... I'm not sure, but the PHP module might need to be recompiled. I've never added a php module.. look around the Net for help. Dbeardsl 03:39, 3 July 2006 (CEST)

Have you tried a apache restart? Any changes to PHP will not be seen until apache restarts. If it is truly a lib, you can also try a ldconfig. --Rbar 11:53, 3 July 2006 (CEST)

Hi again

Dbeardsl: I'll look into it

rbar: I think I rebooted, I'll check it again this evening and report back (reboot will restart apache, but I asume it will not kill the install of zlib??) And the ldconfig command did'nt change it zdDog

/opt & /home

The user partition (hda4) is normally mounted under /home. If installing ipkg it's additionally mounted at /opt.

/ # cat /proc/partitions 
major minor  #blocks  name

   3     0  160836480 hda
   3     1     136521 hda1
   3     2     136552 hda2
   3     3      72292 hda3
   3     4  160489350 hda4

/ # cat /proc/mounts 
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
/proc /proc proc rw 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
/dev/hda4 /home reiserfs rw,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
/dev/hda4 /opt reiserfs rw,noatime,nodiratime 0 0

Does this give no conflicts? Seems very strange to me! --Itsmi 14:33, 18 May 2007 (CEST)
