How to shut down server

[liu chang]

Hello, everyone. I am a newbie in the Linux world, but I am interested in 
knowing more. I set up Apache server on my laptop that came with RH6.2, 
later i found out that the PHP module that comes with apache does not 
support MySQL database. So I grabbed php 4 tarball and mysql from the net. 
The manual says I must shut down apache server in order to rebuild php 
module with mysql support. Could anyone please tell me how to shut down the 
server? Thank you.

One of my friend is experiencing some other problem. He has a ne2000 
compatible network card without driver. When he inserted the card, there is 
a high tone beep followed by a low tone beep and system reports "unable to 
determine hardware net address." Later he tried to hardwrite the address 
with "hwaddr=0x...", and there came two high tone beeps. We thought the set 
up was successful, but when we use "ifup eth0" command to check, the status 
was always "Determining IP address..." and "ping ..." command does not 
return anything (he was conneted to the net). Is there something wrong with 
the network configuration or something wrong with the hardware 
configuration? Pls explain in as much details as possible, thanks a lot.
