29 Oct '07

I put together a CD with Open-exchange 0.8.6-5 and more, based on Centos 4.4 When installing the CD, all required software is installed, all that is needed after Os install is to run a config script, that make if fit your enviroment Dependig on the speed on your CDrom the installation should take no more than 30 minutts It install the following: - Open-Exchange 0.8.6-5 - Samba PDC - A PDF printer - Wildfire, a jabber server (for chating ) - Avaadm - Jetti, (jabber webclient) - Squid - Nameserver ( needed when join machins to domain) - Smartsive and websive - Antivirus - Syncml ( but i havent got it to work with any of my clients ) Since it could be so difficult to install, I put this together CD, and I guess allso others would have some use for it Its aviliable for download here http://ntx.waerdahl.net Tronn

Fedora Core 5 EOL on 2007-06-29

Ahem, I know this is a CentOS mailing list. BUT, as more and more people migrate from FC to CentOS, I thought placing this reminder here was worthwhile. [I am still running *cough* FC5 on my own desktop, so I am also running out of time] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-June/msg00006.html Happy Centosing! Akemi

CentOS4 and older megaraid
by Craig White 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

Release notes say no support for the RAID card in a box I just picked up...is there no hope for this box running 2.6 kernel? http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/release- notes/as-x86/ The kernel shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 includes the new megaraid_mbox driver from LSI Logic, which replaces the megaraid driver. The megaraid_mbox driver has an improved design, is compatible with the 2.6 kernel, and includes support for the latest hardware. However, megaraid_mbox does not support some of the older hardware that was supported by the megaraid driver. Adapters with the following PCI vendor ID and device ID pairs are not supported by the megaraid_mbox driver: vendor, device 0x101E, 0x9010 0x101E, 0x9060 0x8086, 0x1960 <--- my card ---< The lspci -n command can be used to display the IDs for adapters installed in a particular machine. Products with these IDs are known by (but not limited to) the following model names: * Dell PERC (dual-channel fast/wide SCSI) RAID controller * Dell PERC2/SC (single-channel Ultra SCSI) RAID controller * Dell PERC2/DC (dual-channel Ultra SCSI) RAID controller * Dell CERC (four-channel ATA/100) RAID controller * MegaRAID 428 * MegaRAID 466 * MegaRAID Express 500 * HP NetRAID 3Si and 1M Both Dell and LSI Logic have indicated that they no longer support these models in the 2.6 kernel. As a result, these adapters are not supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. Craig

CentOS 5.0 and php-yaz
by Niki Kovacs 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

Hi, I have a CentOS 5.0 LAMP server, and I need to install the php-yaz module to implement the Z39.50 protocol (which handles data exchange for public libraries). I've already done this with Debian (a one-liner: apt-get install php-yaz) and also on Slackware (more complicated: compile Yaz, rebuild PHP). Has anyone here ever done this on CentOS? What would be the most orthodox method to do this? Here's the Yaz page: http://www.indexdata.dk Cheers, Niki

KStars on CentOS 4.4?
by Lanny Marcus 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Is there an RPM for this? I think it's in the kdeedu package on the FC6 DVD. My wife is an amateur astronomer and she uses this excellent program. If upstream isn't including it, can I get it and not break my CentOS 4.4 system? (Also, I'd like to migrate her and my daughter to CentOS). TIA, Lanny

VMWare hiccup on CentOS 5, 2.6.18-8.1.8
by Mark Hull-Richter 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

For reasons which escape me, my VMWare Server, which was working perfectly a week ago when I shut down my machine for vacation, no loner comes up with the formerly working Windows XP system - it just stays in the small window where it normally boots and does nothing. The vmware serverd log shows nothing particularly interesting, and I have reconfigured the vmware twice to try and fix this (which interestingly enough could not find the vmware modules for my os either time). I am running CentOS 5.0 with all the latest updates through this morning, plus a 2.6.18-8.1.8 kernel with NTFS file system support compiled in as a module, and vmware server shows this: $ vmware -v /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) VMware Server 1.0.3 build-44356 (Not sure what that note about libpng12 means....) Here is the server log's tail: Jul 30 17:57:48: app| SP: Retrieved username: mhr Jul 30 17:57:54: app| Adding to list of running vms: /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx Jul 30 17:57:54: app| Attempting to launch vmx : /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx Jul 30 17:57:55: app| New connection on socket server-vmxvmdb from host localhost (ip address: local) , user: mhr Jul 30 17:57:55: app| Connection from : /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx Jul 30 17:57:55: app| Setting up autoDetect info.

Any suggestions or clues? This is the first glitch I've had with vmware server on CentOS 5. Thanks. mhr
