[K12OSN] Several Different Questions

[Petre Scheie]

Part I: Make sure Apache is running by typing 'ps -ef | grep httpd'; if 
you get nothing, Apache isn't running.  If that's the case, try 'service 
httpd start' to start Apache.  If it fails to start, you'll have to 
delve into the httpd.conf file. 

If Apache is already running, type 'nmap localhost' to get a list of 
open ports, and verify that http is listening on port 80.  If it's not, 
or you get no answer, Linux's firewall (/etc/sysconfig/iptables) may 
have the port blocked.

Webmin provides its own httpd server, I believe, so the fact that it's 
working doesn't have any bearing on whether Apache is working or not.

Part IIa: You should be able to point the vncviewer on the Windows box 
to the LTSP server on port 5900, 5901, 5902, perhaps others, and get the 
same login screen as the terminals.  Note that with VNC, you only use 
the last two digits of the port number.  So,  for example, from the 
windows box, point VNC at 192.168.1.208:00 or 192.168.1.208:01 and you 
should get the login screen.  If you don't, check the /etc/services file 
to make sure the vncserver is setup (it's usually at the bottom of the 
file).

I'll leave the remaining questions to others with experience in those areas.
