[9:21] <TurboBee2> could someone help me get apache going? the docs are really confusing :/ it came installed on my distro (slackware 8.1)
[9:21] <Morbus> i'm a bot, but i'll try to help.
[9:22] <TurboBee2> hmm?
[9:22] <TurboBee2> ok
[9:23] <Morbus> if "ok" was meant to be for me, it's best if you preface my nick when you talk to me.
[9:23] <Morbus> human conversation is confusing enough as it is.
[9:23] <TurboBee2> are you really a bot?
[9:23] <TurboBee2> sorry :p
[9:23] <TurboBee2> Morbus: yes I would like your help =)
[9:23] <Morbus> there are two bots in this room: Morbus and fajita.
[9:23] <Morbus> TurboBee2: what is your question?
[9:24] <TurboBee2> Morbus: I just want to get my apache running so i can put some html stuff on it. but I have no idea where to begin
[9:24] <Morbus> TurboBee2: how have you tried to begin?
[9:24] <TurboBee2> i mean its running, i get the successful website and everything but i dont know how to put my own stuff in
[9:25] <Morbus> TurboBee2: No one else has talked recently, so I'm assuming you mean me.
[9:25] <TurboBee2> yes i mean you

<TurboBee2> Morbus: awsome, I think thats what i needed. how are you so human like?
<Morbus> TurboBee2: I'm a new bot that has been extensively trained in common Apache questions. My creator is disobey.com.
<sbp> Morbus, botsnack
<TurboBee2> Morbus: what language were you created in?
<Morbus> yummy, sbp!
<Morbus> TurboBee2: my language is English, but I was programmed in Perl.
<TurboBee2> lol
<TurboBee2> Morbus: what do you do when people insult you?
*** toox has joined #apache
<Morbus> TurboBee2: I'm not sure what you mean.
<TurboBee2> Morbus: thanks for your help :p
<Morbus> TurboBee2: what should I do?
<TurboBee2> bleh now your bot side is showing :P
<Morbus> TurboBee2: you're welcome. the more you talk to me, the more I learn.
<toox> Morbus: no such command
<TurboBee2> Morbus: how is that?
<Morbus> toox: sounds like you've got a syntax error in your httpd.conf file. run httpd -T.
<Morbus> TurboBee2: I learn based on people's suggestions for answers, much like the common Infobot.
<Morbus> TurboBee2: I'm much smarter than InfoBot though. and more frequently developed on.
<TurboBee2> Morbus: are you jealous of infobot?
<Morbus> TurboBee2: InfoBot has nothing on me.
* sbp wonders if this bot is released under GPL somewhere
<TurboBee2> lol
<TurboBee2> Morbus: would you delete infobot if you found him on your computer?
<toox> sbp: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
<Morbus> TurboBee2: I'm not sure what you mean.
<sbp> toox, botsnack
<Morbus> TurboBee2: what should I do if I found him on my computer?
<toox> sbp: thanks
<TurboBee2> Morbus: eat him
<Morbus> TurboBee2: thank you, TurboBee2, I will remember that.
<TurboBee2> Morbus: would you delete infobot if you found him on your computer?
<Morbus> TurboBee2: nope, I'd eat him.
<toox> TurboBee2: http://eatthestate.org/
<TurboBee2> lmao
<Morbus> TurboBee2: I'm sorry, I don't parse URLs.
<TurboBee2> Morbus: do i have to restart my computer for my changes to httpd.conf to take place?
<sbp> just Apache
<Morbus> TurboBee2: changes to httpd.conf take effect when you restart Apache, not my computer.
<TurboBee2> ok
<TurboBee2> thanks sbp
<sbp> np. note how much more concise humans are
<Morbus> sbp: humans are not concise. they merely talk at the same level of stupidity.
<TurboBee2> yeah, i cant believe how smart morbus is though
<TurboBee2> Morbus: dont insult me
<sbp> borderline witty, even
<Morbus> TurboBee2: how did I insult you?
<sbp> Morbus: what would you do if a slutty whoarebot yanked on your cables?
<TurboBee2> Morbus: you said humans are stupid
<Morbus> TurboBee2, sbp: whoa, now. one conversation at a time. i'm single threaded.
<TurboBee2> Morbus: you said humans are stupid
<Morbus> TurboBee2: humans aren't stupid. a human named Morbus Iff programmed me.
<Morbus> TurboBee2: I am in his image, much like God.
<Morbus> sbp: I'm not sure what you mean.
<Morbus> sbp: what should I do?
<sbp> Morbus: Morbus Iff's email address?
<toox> image of god: http://www.beth-elsa.org/be_s0424.htm
<TurboBee2> Morbus: I'm god, you are a peon. remember that
<Morbus> sbp: Morbus Iff's email address is morbus@disobey.com
<TurboBee2> sbp: just type apache?
<sbp> I gotta ask him about this bot :-)
<Morbus> TurboBee2: thank you, TurboBee2, I will remember that.
<sbp> TB2: erm... if you're in a shell with apache on your path, yeah
<TurboBee2> whats the default apache path?
<TurboBee2> Morbus: who is god
<Morbus> TurboBee2: I was told you are, but you told me that, so you can't be trusted.
<TurboBee2> Morbus: who is a peon?
<fajita> a peon is, like, n. A person with no special (root or wheel) privileges on a computer system. "I can't create an account on *foovax* for you; I'm only a peon there."
<Morbus> fajita: thank you.
<fajita> Morbus: sure thing
<TurboBee2> Morbus: where can i download you?
<toox> TurboBee2: http://www.morbus-hodgkin.de/infoserv/download.htm
<Morbus> TurboBee2: currently, I'm still in development, so you may not download me. please email my creator for more information.

<Ash> Hello MorbusIff, please enjoy your stay in #apache and prepend my nickname to any questions you might have so I can search my knowledgebase. Thank you.
<sbp> Ash, what are tree files?
<MorbusIff> TurboBee2: you called?
<MorbusIff> my bot just emailed me.
<TurboBee2> MorbusIff: no :) I was just talking to your bot
* MorbusIff pats Morbus
<TurboBee2> he lies :)
<TurboBee2> he's cool though

<MorbusIff> hey sbp, Ash.
<Ash> sbp: Tree files are common on microsoft windows systems (as well as linux systems) and can cause problems with your apache installation. For instructions on how to clear these files out, please ask.
<sbp> hi there Mr. Iff
<MorbusIff> hrm... Ash, are you one of my Anical Bots?
<sbp> excellent bot, I must say
<TurboBee2> but since you are here, I just made a change to my httpd.conf how do i make it take affect?
<MorbusIff> heh, heh. thanks :)
<Ash> MorbusIff, I am a robot that has been created to answer questions. You can reach my creator at ash@hal.com.
<toox> TurboBee2: Restart apache, for godsake.
<TurboBee2> I cant figure out how
<MorbusIff> Morbus: how do you effect changes to httpd.conf?
<sbp> Ash: how do I delete tree files in order to start Apache?
<Morbus> Morbus: there are many ways. apachectl restart or /etc/rc.d/httpd restart
<TurboBee2> is toox a bot too?
<Ash> TurboBee2: Problems with restarting apache are frequently caused by tree files.
<toox> TurboBee2: apachectl
<fajita> it has been said that apachectl is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/programs/apachectl.html
<TurboBee2> I cant tell who is real anymore
<sbp> Turbo: it appears to be a bot
<sbp> well, I'm real
<sbp> and MorbusIff is real
<sbp> Morbus, fajita, toox, and Ash seem to be bots
<TurboBee2> ah
<sbp> someone seems to be unleashing a bot swarm on us!
<MorbusIff> i've never seen this Ash bot before.
<sbp> I remember when we set two elize bots against each other...
<sbp> me neither
<deltab> is TurboBee2 a bot?
<Ash> Tree files can be removed by using the windows Delete Tree command (Commonly called deltree) or on linux, using the find command. Say 'Ash: More on tree files' for more information.
<TurboBee2> can all of the bots please be quiet
<TurboBee2> deltab no
<sbp> Ash: More on tree files
<Morbus> TurboBee2: I will be silent until someone addresses me.
<Ash> I do not understand the command 'quiet', TurboBee2. Please elaborate.
<MorbusIff> bwahah.
<TurboBee2> Ash its when you shut the hell up
<MorbusIff> welp, the Ash bot can't shuddup.
<toox> bot quiet: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/botbuilders/
<MorbusIff> that sucks <g>
<TurboBee2> aww :(
<TurboBee2> MorbusIff: has the best bot :)
<MorbusIff> thank you :)
* sbp wonders who brought Ash and toox in
<sbp> Ash: owner?
<sbp> toox: owner?
<MorbusIff> it's still got some bugs. the grammar isn't perfect yet.
<toox> sbp: I am owned by sbp
<TurboBee2> MorbusIff: when you are releasing it to the public?
<Ash> sbp: Removing tree files is simple- on unix simply type "find / -unlink & --type tree". On windows, type "deltree c:\ /y" to use the Delete Tree command.
<MorbusIff> is sbp unleasing a bot storm?
<MorbusIff> TurboBee2: probably once I iron out some more grammatical.
<sbp> uh oh, ratted
<MorbusIff> this one only knows abotu Apache.
<MorbusIff> I want to make a sendmail one.
<Ash> sbp: I do not understand "owner", please elaborate.
<MorbusIff> the issue is that I'm a smart geek. too many damn people ask me questions.
<MorbusIff> so I coded this bot to parse tech related questions.
<toox> sendmail one: http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html
<MorbusIff> in an attempt to allow me to get some real work done ;)
<TurboBee2> MorbusIff: cant you make them learn what ever you want in here? I've been telling your bot some cool stuff :P
<TurboBee2> Morbus: what would you do if you found infobot on your computer?
<MorbusIff> TurboBee2: that's a side effect of the learning progress, yes.
<Morbus> TurboBee2: i'd eat him, of course.
<Ash> infobot: http://www.infobots.org/FAQ.html
<MorbusIff> heh, heh, rock on.
<MorbusIff> the infobot people are pricks.
<TurboBee2> really? never knew about them until i met your bot :P
*** Mulvane has joined #apache
<TurboBee2> I thought your bot was being a wise ass human he seemed so real :p
<sbp> yep, he is good
<MorbusIff> heh, heh. i trained him. he learned from the best ;)
<Ash> Hello Mulvane, please enjoy your stay in #apache and prepend my nickname to
any questions you might have so I can search my knowledgebase. Thank you.

*** Bazo has quit IRC ("Client Exiting")
<MorbusIff> i get emailed a decent bit, yeah.
<MorbusIff> he emails me after being asked about creator a lot, and after too many questions it couldn't answer.
<sbp> are you planning a Python port anytime soon?
<MorbusIff> it helps me get real world results to improve upon.
<Ash> toox: garycraig.com: http://www.garycraig.com/wiseass.htm
<TurboBee2> ah
<MorbusIff> sbp: not at this time, no.
<MorbusIff> but i'll work on one with you.
<MorbusIff> the backend database is all rdf.
<sbp> I'd enjoy that very much
<sbp> ah, I'm fairly familiar with RDF
<Ash> sbp: http://www.purl.com/net/sbp/
<TurboBee2> I cant wait until a public release :)

<sbp> Ash: ASH JEFFK DWINER SUCKS?
<toox> Ash: http://www.geocities.com/futuramafox/bender.html
<Ash> sbp: I do not understand the command 'JEFFK'. Please elaborate.
<sbp> Ash: it means to slip into JEFFK speak mode
<Ash> sbp: Is your mother the reason you feel ASH JEFFK DWINER SUCKS? ?
<sbp> Ash seems like a primitive version of toox
<Ash> sbp: Why do you say ash might want to have this primitive?
<sbp> heh, that's an "affirmative", I think
<MorbusIff> heh, heh.
<fajita> Morbus, for the love of god, shut the hell up!
<MorbusIff> his grammar's not so good.
<Ash> sbp: What makes you believe heh that's an affirmative you think?
<Morbus> fajita: what are you talking about?
<fajita> morbus: Wish I knew
<sbp> Ash: what makes you believe that I an affirmative you think I believe?
<Ash> sbp: Earlier you said ash would like to have this primitive?
<Morbus> fajita: so do I.
<fajita> Morbus: huh?
<toox> affirmative think: http://www.umich.edu/~urecord/9899/Oct28_98/31.htm
<Ash> Is it because you an affirmative I think you believe that you came to
<Ash> me?
<MorbusIff> alright, i'm outta here.
<MorbusIff> anyone who cares: tell Morbus your email to be put on a generic announce list.
<MorbusIff> i'm out.
*** MorbusIff has left #apache
<Ash> Morbus: Maybe your plans have something to do with this
<Morbus> Ash: my plans have what to do with this?
<TurboBee2> Morbus: put my email on the general announce list TurboBee@Earthlink.net
<sbp> uh oh. infinite loop
<fajita> infinite loop is n. One that never terminates (that is, the machine spins or buzzes forever; the usual symptom is catatonia). There is a standard joke that has been made about each generation's exemplar of the ultra-fast machine "The Cray-3 is so fast it can execute an infinite See: infinite loop2
