Hi, I've got 2 questions. First off, I'm running OSF on an Alpha
Server 1000. Ok:
1.) When I boot, I get a syntax error after the devices have been
setup. Here's a snippet from the boot output:
---------
zoneinfo
lvm0: configured
lvm1: configured
dli: configured
SuperLAT. Copyright 1995 Meridian Technology Corp...
INIT: SINGLE-USER MODE
-: syntax error: 'newline or ;' unexpected
#
--------
Ok, so as you can see, it drops into single user mode at this point.
Then I can just press <CTRL-D> to continue booting. It runs fsck right
after I press <CRTL-D> and then boots all the way up. I can't figure
out what's causing this though. What file/files should I look in to
find the problem? I'm new to all this so I'm rather clueless... :) I
really need to fix this, as I need the server to be able to boot up
properly on its own if it goes down and I'm not here. Thanks!!!
2.) I have a question concerning ifconfig and the rc.config file. I'm
running Netscape's Netsite httpd server which has support for virtual
hosts. To do this, I need to alias an unused IP address onto my main IP
address. So, for example, after I boot I just type: 'ifconfig tu0
204.71.48.51 alias' to alias that IP onto my main IP address. Here's
what the relevant part of my rc.config file looks like now:
--------
NETDEV_0="tu0"
NETDEV_1=
NETDEV_2=
NETDEV_3=
NETDEV_4=
NETDEV_5=
NETDEV_6=
NETDEV_7=
IFCONFIG_0="204.71.48.10 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_1=
...
--------
How do I add the alias line into this? Obviously, I want it to be
configured automatically at startup without me having to type the alias
line in manually. I've tried a few things, but they haven't worked.
Thanks for any help. It's greatly appreciated...
