Re: please help about etch

Hello,

1/ I use this url to install apache2
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch_p6
but don't know why port 443 is not working. https://ipaddress doesn't
work but http://ipaddress is fine

the port 443 is listening in netstat -anp
Do I need to configure server.key and server.crt in it? which file?

Not an expert but you need a key and a certificate (even if self signed)
to make it work.

In my config :
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/server.key

I don't remember how to generate these files, google will tell you.

you may also need to add :
SSLSessionCache none
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 600

If you have more traffic than me with your server, you may want to setup
a proper ssl cache. (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslsessioncache)


2/ I follow the link
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html to
compile the kernel. 2.6.18


final step dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.18_custom.1.0_i386.deb is ok too

When i boot up the new kernel, it said

cannot open root device "hda3" or unknow-block(0,0)
please append a correct "root"=boot option
kernel panic

I only change one to support large memory, other remains unchange
What wrong I did?

Did you compile your kernel with initrd support?
If not either include support for your hard drive directly into the
kernel or add initrd support (option --initrd of make-kpkg).
If you already have support for initrd check that your boot loader
effectively load the correct initrd image.
