Re: [CentOS] Reducing the deleterious effects of ego related issues onthe list: growing up individually.

What's the canonical way to do this in CentOS/RHEL? I know how to do it from the command line, but how to do I make a NAT route permanent? Preston

Many thanks, that was basically the problem. It wasn't Canadian time, but it was the wrong /etc/localtime. I don't know where that /etc/localtime came from -- it's not the same as any of the files in the /usr/share/zoneinfo hierarchy. But putting US/Eastern in there did the trick. Stowe Davison

firefox update extensions
by Dave 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

The update feature in FF appears to be disabled, which is fine since I upgrade from the repositories. But it looks like the extension updates are disabled as well. Even if I go to the extensions menu, right click on update they don't seem to update. Is there a setting to enable extension updates? I set extension.update.autoupdate to true in about:config and that didn't seem to help.

Kernel compilation - 2.6, x86_64, CentOS4.1
by John Logsdon 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi I am having trouble compiling some 2.6 kernels on a x86_64 box under CentOS4.1. I cannot use xconfig at all and menuconfig on my system is unreadable. It appears to be something to do with the Qt library but I have all the necessary bits installed: qt-devel-3.3.3-9.3 qt-3.3.3-9.3 but note that the second of these only is installed both for x86 and x86_64 - the first is installed for x86_64 only. I have tried both the standard kernel 2.6.9-11.EL-smp-x86_64 and also 2.6.11.12 and the same problem exists. Googling around, it appears to be to do with a makefile in scripts/kconfig and none of the fixes work. On issuing make xconfig, the messages always end up: HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/qconf /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1 make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 and the fixes suggest removing the middle two lines in scripts/kconfig/Makefile (starting at line 130 for the 2.6.11.12 case): LIBPATH=$$DIR/lib; LIB=qt; \ - $(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory > /dev/null 2>&1 && \ - LIBPATH=$$DIR/lib/$$($(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory); \ if [ -f $$LIBPATH/libqt-mt.so ]; then LIB=qt-mt; fi; \ But that still returns the same fault. Can anyone advise? The same kernel compiles perfectly on an x86 box.

Hi everyone, by default, /var/www/html/ folder is under user/group root. Is it a good idea to change this to apache user/group? I'm trying to set up web server box using CentOS 4.2. Any idea how this change can effect the system and php programming? Any pros & cons for this change??? Any security risk to have /var/www/html/ folder under user/group root? Thanks, JC

yum recovery?
by James B. Byrne 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Note: As a digest subscriber the favour of a direct reply is requested in addition to the list. I had a network connection interrupted while running yum update on a remote server. The last line displayed showed 189/3?? updated. Subsequently I reconnected and now yum reports that there is nothing to do: Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up repositories update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion Is there any simple way to check what the actual state of that machine is or to force yum to reapply all outstanding updates regardless of whether they are already installed or not?

php update
by Melinda Odom 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi, I need to run yum update on my server which uses centos 3.5 now. Included in that update is updating php-4.3.2-24.ent to php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1 plus and will be going to centos 3.6. Will running this update to centos 3.6 include the mail extensions for php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1? I cannot find any information listed as to the 0000999 bug report in either the php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1.i386.rpm or php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1.src.rpm files. Thank you!
