Topic: Pictures & PPTP

[Paul Dobson]

Hi
I have set up my first server and got the basics up and running, however I am noe at a point where I cannot get any further. I am new to Linux so I am still finding my way any help would be appreciated.
I have installed both yappa & gallery, but have the same problem with both. I have uploaded some pictures, The file name is displayed but the thumbnails and images are just displayed as broken links. I have rear here on this forum about checking the file paths which I have done and these are definately correct.

I can not connect via pptp either over my LAN or from the internet all I connect is a 645 error. I have allowed for 2 pptp connections.

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks
Paul

IF you are using Win9x you will need to upgrade DUN to 1.4

Hi

What's the log-file on the server mean?

The follow I saw from microsoft.

SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to establish a connection with Dial-Up Networking (DUN), you may receive the following error message:

Dial-Up Networking could not complete the connection to the server. Check your configuration and try the connection again.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Require encrypted password option is enabled on the Server Types tab in the connection's properties, or an incorrect user name or password has been entered.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:
Verify that your user name and password are correct. If this resolves the issue, skip all the remaining steps. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications,and then click Dial-Up Networking.
Right-click the icon for your connection, and then click Properties.
For Windows 95, 98 and 98 Second Edition:

Click the Server Types tab, click to clear the Require encrypted password check box, and then click OK.

For Windows Millennium Edition (Me):

Click the Security tab, click to clear the Require encrypted password check box, and then click OK.

Thanks

Simon
