OK, I'l give it a go. The strange thing is that I never had to do this kind of tweaking before; it just worked. Anyone else ever had this problem?

Thanks for the help.

Jo, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the error is not descriptive but on says in effect that "Sorry, Ipkg has an error installing."

And yes, I am sure that I am using the package with php. In fact, I had downloaded that very package from choup.

I know that Apache is running because I can see the start screen with http://127.0.0.1 and also the server error when trying to run Perl, which I haven't loaded. All this of course after issuing an "www/bin/httpd start" command.

I've checked the config file and it looks like it should work only that I'm pretty sure the php exe files are not there.

If anyone knows where they are supposed to be located (I believe in Applications) that might be a start.

Thanks in advance.

For the life of me I cannot get php running. From the gui installer, I get an ipkg error that something is wrong. From the console it installs but no php. When a php page is loaded Opera wants to download it. I've tried about every .ipk file. I know it works as I have seen it work on my 5600.
Any help or hints on what to look for would be appreciated.

thanks

6000 - Tosa / Video playback on the 6000

« on: June 27, 2006, 03:27:50 pm »

Ah, good video at last! Thanks for all who posted their experiences.
I am using the following:

Zplayer  - http://atty.skr.jp/zplayer/ (or http://atty.skr.jp/pub/zplayer/zplayer_0.1.1_arm.ipk to be precise)
Note: The site is in Japanese [I used to use Kino2 but Zplayer seems to work better with mPlayer and in terms of the screen clean-up after playing a video, there is no comparison.]

mPlayer - http://atty.skr.jp/mplayer.html ( http://atty.skr.jp/pub/zaurus/mplayer/mpla...1.1.5-1_arm.ipk )

Set the following mplayer parameters in the ZPlayer config tab (run Mplayer, goto Tools/Configuration, Mplayer tab, "Use Additional options" )
Enter: -really-quiet -framedrop -cache 2048 -vo fbdev -fs  

To play videos in full-screen "magnified mode" find the zPlayer desktop config file (/home/QTPalmtop/apps/Applications/zplayer.desktop) and delete the "Display" line along with it's display parameters. Return to the "desktop" and find the zplayer icon. Hold the stylus on the zPlayer icon until it shows the start-up parametes. Click on the magnified mode. Personally I don't like the giant interface but you can't argue with the video results.  Note that this merely doubles the pixels used and so the crispness of the video is lessened. I just hold my Z back a little farther : )

Some of the requestor buttons may be unreadable in Zplayer but it is quite usable.

Also, I noticed if I didn't type in the parameter settings correctly I would get a blank screen. So if you do, check that. The Cancel button, by the way, closes the app.

Again Thanks to all who posted before. I would be nowhere without you.

6000 - Tosa / Who has a 6000?

« on: December 25, 2004, 11:55:54 am »

Got my 6KL about a month or so ago from Amazon. I had a 5600 for a month before it accidently fell into a bucket of water...don't ask.

For those waiting on the fence because of Sharp's pullout, my advice is to examine yourself and if you fall into the geek "I gotta be different" category just get one. Up to the time I received my new one I was fighting with my Palm IIIx on almost a daily basis and figured if I could keep the 6KL half as long then it would be a good investment.

My historical rout to the Zaurus was through Amiga, who at one time was going to develop on it, and a sneek peek at one of the earlier versions at a Comdex many years ago.

My biggest problem is that I have very little knowledge of networking and Linux, having concentrated on other computing areas for the past few years. This is a handicap that will have to be overcome. Judging from what little I've read in this forum, this will be the place to start.

I'd love to run Rebol on my Zaurus. Anybody out there succeed in this area?
