Converting from WBEL 4 to CentOS 4.
by Sanjay Arora 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi all I want to migrate a server from Whitebox Linux 4 to CentOS 4. I think I should be able to do it without reinstallation, as both are RHEL clones...Can someone please tell me how? and if there are any pitfalls doing it on a production server and doing further updates from CentOS updates? With best regards. Sanjay.

Hosed by 4.2
by Syv Ritch 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi, I have been using Centos since 3.0. I have been upgrading regularly without any major problem. 4.1 to 4.2 has been a total disaster. I ran yum update, it went through and a couple of hours later I rebooted and X froze with the screen just being just fuzz [regular rectangles, orange, green...] and the keyboard froze. Could not do a alt-ctrl-backspace, nor a Alt-F1-6 nor Alt-Ctrl-Del. I have a ATI9200 with a Samsung 710N [It only works at 1240x1024 @ 60Hz, it will not work at any other frequency] This is the same hardware as I was running with 4.1. I had to reinstall 4.1, now I cannot run yum update to get the security updates, it tries to upgrade to 4.2. 1. Is there a way to just get the updates for 4.1 and not 4.2 2. Any suggestion on what went wrong with X. It's not just the frequency display because the keyboard also froze. Thanks

Setting up Tomcat as a service under CentOS 4?
by Preston Crawford 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

I've found about a dozen different ways to skin this cat (no pun intended). Everything from creating a script in /etc/init.d/ to using jsvc. I was hoping someone out there, those of you out there who run Tomcat in this manner, how did *you* set this up? I can't seem to get it right. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or even direction to an authoritative document. Preston

tripwire support
by Brad Olin 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

Me again... I looked for tripwire rpms and came up blank on your mirrors. I was able to find them at a rpmfind site (for both el3 and el4), but it would be nice to have it included in the extras area. Any chance of this happening anytime soon? Thanks in advance Brad

Cyrus firstname.lastname@domain
by Dave Hornford 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

I'm converting an environment from mandrake to centos, and always try to use the applications standard on the distribution. This means a switch from courier to cyrus. A bit of reading uncovered a potential problem - the site uses firstname.lastname@domain, and I have come across references that Cyrus does not support this. I couldn't find this limitation in the Cyrus documentation. Is it true? regards Dave www.hornfordassociates.com

I've been following the faq for moving from whitebox to centos (which admittedly is for release 3, but using the equivalent release 4 files) and keep getting stuck when installing the centos-release-4-2.1 rpm which says it should replace whitebox-release4.2 However this is not happening, giving me the following rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/centos-release-4-2.1.… Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/centos-release-4-2.1.… error: Failed dependencies: /etc/whitebox-release is needed by (installed) initscripts-7.93.11.EL-1.WB1.i386 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nick <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/centos-release-4-2.1.…>
