internet wireless network requirements
by Richard E Miles 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I currently am using CentOS 4.4 desktop computer. What would I need to recieve an internet signal from a wireless router that is connected to an Apple computer that is located upstairs? I am in the basement less than 150 feet from the Apple computer. I do not have wireless card in the CentOS desktop computer and am looking for a card to install to accomplish this. -- Richard Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered linux user 46097

Re: [CentOS] Apache 2.2 under CentOS?
by Bogdan Nicolescu 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I bookmarked this article yesterday. Haven't tried out yet. Upgrading to httpd 2.2.4 on RHEL and CentOS 4http://www.jasonlitka.com/2007/01/17/upgrading-to-httpd-224-on-rhel-centos… ----- Original Message ---- From: Peter Serwe <peter(a)infostreet.com> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 10:00:28 PM Subject: [CentOS] Apache 2.2 under CentOS? We've been going through some growing pains fumbling through porting some custom C modules that used to live under apache 1.3 into the 2.0 spec, even though none of us really considers ourselves a 'C developer'. We've basically got them all working now under the 2.0 API, and the question was posed about whether or not we should consider attempting to upgrade everything to run under httpd-2.2. I noticed the httpd2 port is only 2.0.53 under CentOS, and I was wondering why that is? Is there a 2.2 port? Is there plans to do one? Was it tried and found that there are significant obstacles in the way of getting 2.2 to run under CentOS 4.4? Is there a port of 2.2 planned for 5.0? Is it a question of resources, and should we undertake it, do you guys want the resulting i686 RPM's? Comment Karanbir?

machine with many filesystem errors
by Jerry Geis 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I have a machine with many file system errors. I booted into rescue mode - I tried to run "e2fsck -p /dev/hda1" but it says something about inconsistency and cannot run with -p. So then I just run "e2fsck /dev/hda1" and I have to answer MANY fixes with a "y". How can you just tell it to fix it and dont ask? I'd hate to say how many 'y' I have answered. The filesystem is ext3, I was surprised this even happened. Jerry

centos version numbers
by Melinda Odom 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Hi, I am running centos 4.2 version on my server. The /etc/redhat-release file lists centos 4.4 (final). In my Plesk server administration it also shows centos 4.2. I need to upgrade plesk and am suppose to have centos 4.3 to do this upgrade. In the past I have run "yum update" and the OS was always updated to the next version but this no longer works on my server. When I try yum update or yum upgrade there is nothing to update. I have checked some of the files from the centos mirror site for version 4 and it seems I have the same versions on my server. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/ So would I have the most recent centos version?

Machine all of a suddens freezes. Any suggestions?
by Theo Band 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

This is a A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard with a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+ Processor. It freezes and cannot be accessed from the network. Keyboard/mouse/display, everything just stuck. It had an uptime of 17 days after I re-connected all cables and boards after a similar crash. My feeling is, this must be a hardware related problem. I inspected the logs under /var/log, but nothing. What would be the best approach to debug this problem? What can be the most likely cause? Or should I just accept it (it's a single user desktop machine). The machine has FC4 installed. Is there a chance that it becomes more stable with Centos (as said, I actually don't suspect the OS). For new machines I started installing Centos (and I'm happy with it, especially the fact that my EDA software vendors support it well). I monitor the machine with Zabbix, but no weird things there. Just before the freeze the machine had a processor load of 1 running a user simulation. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Theo

Temperature could indeed be the case. The last time it happened was during heavy load. The fans are spinning, that I checked already. I will add temperature monitoring as well to the logs. Dirt could be, but this machine is not even a year old. I'll check the CPU cooler assembly.

Ok, ok I am a "one minute" perl expert now (sung to the tune of "I read the One Minute Manager Book today yeah yeah yeah baby baby" :p My first perl research and program called test.pl use Net::DNS; print Net::DNS->version, "\n"; the result of "perl test.pl" as expected was 0.48 Please keep the applause to a minimum please. Tens and twenties work better for me anyways... Oh, and I forgot, I won the lottery again today via an old email account and I am sharing. Anyone interested in paying the winner's fee for me? :p - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

Entourage X and Sendmail STARTTLS on CentOS 4.4
by Paul R. Ganci 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I have a user who has Mac OS 10.4.8 with Entourage X. The email server is sendmail 8.13.8 and is setup to use STARTTLS on a CentOS 4.4 system. It appears from everything I have googled that only Entourage 2004 will properly function with STARTTLS. Has anybody any experience with Entourage X ... specifically is there something I am missing regarding the CentOS server setup or are all Entourage prior to the 2004 version indeed broken in regards to STARTTLS? I have just done the usual stuff that seems to work for Thunderbird, Evolution, Outlook, Mac Mail and the latest Eudora. On the sendmail server side: define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p y')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')dnl (purposely not showing the certificate config) On the Entourage X client side: Checked the box "SMTP service requires secure connection (SSL) Checked the box "SMTP server requires authentication Checked the box "Use the same settings as receiving mail server" Entourage X returns an error indicating: "The SMTP server for "MRIC" does not recognize any of the authentication methods supported by Entourage." Can anyone verify that Entourage X does not work with STARTTLS and/or suggest a work around? I am hoping that upgrading to Entourage 2004 is not the only answer. Thanks for you rhelp. -- Paul (ganci(a)nurdog.com)

syslog strangeness
by exilemenot 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I'm setting up a server and noticed syslog has stopped putting messages into secure, maillog, and messages. syslog.conf is stock, and both it and klogd are running. This occurred around the same time I put the IPTables config in the box, but disabling iptables doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm doing things that should generate traffic to those files. Cron jobs have also appeared to stop running as well. Reinstalling the box would be difficult, so any advice would be appreciated on where to look. Thanks

Changing the contents of installation cd so as to include a new kernel
by Janice D'Sa 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Hi, I have CentOS 4.4 with me. I want to change the default kernel during installation, from 2.6.9 to 2.6.15. I got myself a copy of vmlinuz and initrd.img from the RHEL AS 4.0 installation cd and copied it as vmlinuz-rhel and initrd-rhel.img respectively into the isolinux folder on the CentOS cd. I changed isolinux.cfg so that it would boot into my kernel. I then made a fresh new ISO and tried to boot off it. However, when I boot I get the following error "Cannot find kernel image: vmlinuz-rhel". I cant figure out where the boot loader is looking for vmlinuz and initrd (besides the islinux directory) and if there are any other norms that Im not sticking too. Thanks, Janice. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know. Learn something new http://in.answers.yahoo.com/
