Usman's questions

I have setup a SIP server and connected two polycom soundstation duo devices to it. They both register line with the SIP server fine but when I try to place a call from one device to the other, asterisk's CLI returns following NOTICE:

Call from '1000' (58.65.17.222:5060) to extension '1001' rejected because extension not found in context 'polycom'.

Related snipped of extension.conf look like:

[polycom]
exten => 1000,1,Dial(SIP/1000)
exten => 1000,2,VoiceMail,u1000
exten => 1000,102,VoiceMail,b1000
exten => 1001,1,Dial(SIP/1001)
exten => 1001,2,VoiceMail,u1001
exten => 1001,104,VoiceMail,b1001

and sip.conf look like:

[1000]
type=friend
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=polycom

[1001]
type=friend
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=polycom

Can you spot any error in these configurations?

I am being hit by following error when I try to run installation of a bugtracker named 'The Bug Genie'. I have opensuse 11.3 64bit on my system and so I found these missing .so files in /usr/lib64/php5/extensions/. How can I install 32-bit versions of these libraries or anyother idea to make it work?

I installed PCRE 8.12 on my server using YaST but found that PCRE 7.9 was still installed and active (as seen via pcretest -C). In order to delete or deactive PCRE 7.9 I tried deleting it using YaST. But I think that process deleted many other files which were needed for YaST to properly run. Now, YaST is broken. When I start YaST in my terminal and select+enter 'Software Management' or any other option, error like following appears:

# yast

I have a phpinfo.php file which I am trying to run by browsing to it using browser but the browser downloads the file instead of executing it.

phpinfo.php

<?php
   phpinfo();
?>

I followed following this post, added following lines to my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and restarted apache but invain. phpinfo.php still gets downloaded.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php> .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Have I added these line to the correct file?

On an openSuSE forum following was mentioned. I followed this too but still no success. Same problem is persisting.

In case the browser wants to save your php files instead of displaying the content, you should enable php support in the /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf file. Add the following line to it, just after the line and restart the server.

Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf

I have Debian (Kernel 2.6.26-2-686) installed on two computers. On one of them it reboots quite finely but I am having following problem with rebooting Debian on my second computer.

When i type reboot at the Linux prompt, following messages appear and system hangs up after saying "Restarting System":

Broadcast message from root@myname (tty1) (Sun Jan 17 11:23:26 2010)

The system is going down for reboot NOW!
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 6
INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal

Stopping enhanced syslog: rsyslogd.
Asking all remaining processes to terminate...done.
Deconfiguring network interfaces...done.
Cleaning up ifupdown....
Deactivating swap...done.
[ 31.789103] Restarting System.
_

Normally when the sytem is busy _ sign blinks but _ at the last line above does not blink which shows, the system hanged up. I tried all keys but the screen is still frozen at the same point.

The difference that I noted between my two computers is that I don't have ACPI support in the BIOS of the system which is giving me this error whereas the BIOS of my first computer do have ACPI support on which Debain do not give this restart-hanging problem.

I have also disabled running the acpid script by running

update-rc.d -f acpid remove

but the problem still persists on the second computer.

Any ideas to solve or get around this problem?

Update:

The computer on which I am facing this problem is DELL Optiplex 330 (2.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM)

Normally, there are solutions available out there to restore grub or install grub provided that linux in installed first. How can I install grub while not having any partition which has an installed linux operating system.

Is it even possible to install GRUB like I want?

I want to use GRUB for loading Windows. I know about the chainloading that needs to be done but the thing is that I don't have any Linux system installed and I don't want to install it.

I have two partitions, each having Windows 7, for example. Can I install GRUB? and configure it to provide me with a menu having both the Operation System at boot time?

As far as I understand "active" means that a partition is bootable, therefore an operating system can be installed on it.

I just installed an Operating System on one of my logical partition and it's booting fine. Does it mean that its "active" now?
