Install VMware Tools on Linux

# yum install gcc kernel-headers kernel-devel

How to fix the problem when "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel" error occurred?

The location of the directory of C header files is: /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`/include/

If the error message was like

The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel...

The vmware-config-tools.pl is looking for define UTS_RELEASE within either version.sh or utsrelease.h under ./linux/ Unfortunately it wasn't there yet.

# cd /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`/include
# cp -p generated/utsrelease.h linux/utsrelease.h

In the environment of VMWare Workstation 6.5.4 with Linux kernel 2.6.33.*, there is somehow difficult... If the "Virtual Network Device" was compiled failed in "Vmware Kernel Module Updater", the steps below were worked for me.

cd /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`/include/linux/
# ln -sf ../generated/autoconf.h .
# ln -sf ../generated/utsrelease.h .
# tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar
# cd vmnet-only

In vnetUserListener,c, add the line:
#include
after
#include "vnetInt.h"

# cd ..
# tar cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
# mv vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

# tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmci.tar
# cd vmci-only/include

In pgtbl.h, add the line:
#include
after
#include "compat_page.h"

# cd ../..
# tar cf vmci.tar vmci-only
# mv vmci.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

2.grub-install /DEVICE ( 例如: /dev/hda )
3.若 /sbin/grub: not found.
4.進入grub模式: grub
5.grub> root (hd0, 0) # (hd0, 0) 第二個0是linux boot partition mark
6.grub> setup (hd0)
7.grub> quit

/etc/fstab壞掉

Partition Manager for Vista

最近硬碟諸事不順,
首先是用了三年的Toshiba R100硬碟突然壞掉,
後來新購買的X61又遇到Vista磁區無法重新切割的問題,

在用了GParted與PartitionMagic失敗後,
發現有套免費的軟體EASEUS Partition Manager在Vista上運作的非常順利,
終於解決在Vista上進行Partition Manager的問題了...

Apache + SSL

Apache + SSL真不是新東西了, 之前也做過好多次了...
但這次稍微踢到鐵板, 因此紀錄一下吧

鐵板版本為httpd-2.0.53/54 + openssl-0.9.8:

wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8i.tar.gz
./config
make && make install

wget ftp://ftp.yzu.edu.tw/mirror/pub1/Sun/sunfreeware.com/ \\ SOURCES/httpd-2.0.53.tar.gz
./configure --enable-so --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
make && make install

啟動SSL出現錯誤訊息...

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl
ssl_engine_pphrase.c: In function `ssl_pphrase_Handle_CB':

原來是openssl版本判斷的問題,
修改抓回來的source,
檔案httpd-2.0.53/modules/ssl/ssl_toolkit_compat.h

#ifdef OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER

+#if (OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER >= 0x0090800fL)
+#ifndef PEM_F_DEF_CALLBACK
+#define PEM_F_DEF_CALLBACK PEM_F_PEM_DEF_CALLBACK
+#endif
+#endif
+
/*
* rsa sslc uses incomplete types for most structures
* so we macroize for OpenSSL those which cannot be dereferenced

重新config就完成啦! 說明請參考此處...
