Manual Configuration to setup Linux Server

Manual Configuration


You can use one of the above tools or configure the network the old fashioned way as follows:
  1. First to use networking on any permanent basis you should setup the file /etc/sysconfig/network similar to the example shown below.
  2. Assign an ip address with "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up".
  3. Tell your machine that a hub is ready for information with the command "route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0"
  4. To contact hosts outside your network if a machine with IP address 192.168.1.1 is the gateway use the command "route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0"
  5. If using a dialup connection use the command "route add default ppp0" The word default says if the packet is not for a machine on your local network, send it to the default device.
These settings are not permanent, but go away the next time you boot. They are normally set up in the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Add the network interface to the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*. For example the file ifcfg-eth0 if for the first ethernet interface, ifcfg-eth1 for the second, ifcfg-lo is for the local interface. An example file from my system is:





DEVICE="eth0"




IPADDR="192.168.1.100"


NETMASK="255.255.0.0"


="none"
IPXN


ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROT
OETNUM_802_2=""


="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_2


IPXPRIMARY_802_
2="no"
IPXNETNUM_802_3=""


CTIVE_802_3="no"
IPXN


IPXPRIMARY_802_3="no"
IPX
AETNUM_ETHERII=""
IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no"


PXPRIMARY_SNAP="no"
IP


IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no"
IPXNETNUM_SNAP=""



IXACTIVE_SNAP="no"
Unless you know what you're doing it is best to use a network configuration tool. I cannot guarantee the accurateness of how to set these files up on your system.

Exp/ Imp vs. ExpDP/ ImpDP in Oracle 10g

ORACLE Export (exp) vs Datapump (expdp)    ORACLE provides two external utilities to transfer database objects from one database to another database. Traditional exports (exp /imp) are introduced before 10g. Then from 10g, ORACLE introduced datapump (expdp / impdp) as an enhancement to traditional export utility. Traditional Export (exp/ imp) This is an ORACLE database external utility, which is used to transfer database objects from one database server to another database server. It allows transferring the database objects over different platforms, different hardware and software configurations. When an export command is executed on a database, database objects are extracted with their dependency objects. That means if it extracts a table, the dependences like indexes, comments, and grants are extracted and written into an export file (binary format dump file). Following is the command to export a full database, Cmd > exp userid=username/password@exportdb_...

Hi! I'm Java...

Java is a computer programming language. It enables programmers to write computer instructions using English based commands, instead of having to write in numeric codes. It’s known as a “high-level” language because it can be read and written easily by humans. Like English, Java has a set of rules that determine how the instructions are written. These rules are known as its “syntax”. Once a program has been written, the high-level instructions are translated into numeric codes that computers can understand and execute. Who Created Java? In the early nineties, Java was created by a team led by James Gosling for Sun Microsystems. It was originally designed for use on digital mobile devices, such as cell phones. However, when Java 1.0 was released to the public in 1996, its main focus had shifted to use on the Internet. It provided more interactivity with users by giving developers a way to produce animated webpages . Over the years it has evolved as a successful language for ...
