Hi all, Since upgrading to perl 5.8.5-36.el4_5.2 I have had no end of problems, starting with needing compress::zlib which I got from rpmforge, then I had to reinstall scalar::util to get mailscanner working but now I can't install or upgrade any perl modules. Has anyone else had problems or can someone tell me what I've done wrong please? regards tom

webserver setup
by Andreas Kuntzagk 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi, I have setup a webserver on CentOS 4.5 with NameVirtualHost. Two VirtualHost should be reachable by port 80 from outside, while the third (default) should be only reachable by https from outside but by http from inside. Since all share the same IP firewalling seems to be out of question. So is there a way to restrict that in Apache config? regards, Andreas

Package pxljr-1.1-1.i386.rpm (from kde.repo) is not signed
by Andrew Allen 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

I'm trying to install the driver for an HP Colour Laserjet 3500 in CentOS 5. I've installed the kde.repo (with appropriate priorities set up), but when I try yum install pxljr-1.1-1.i386.rpm, I get the above message that 'the package is not signed'. I've previously tried running yum localinstall on the downloaded package with the same result. How do I resolve this please? Andy

perl-base and perl-file-scan-clamav and perl dependency error re 5.8.8 ???
by Robert - elists 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Happy gobble gobble day! Server is a mail and web box with latest centos 4 upgrades and has been running and stable for probably over two years Machine has perl 5.8.8 on it. For a coupla days I have been trying to follow these basic instructions so that I can run a test. http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ClamAVPlugin Now, the issue I am running into is that I needed to get a file-scan-clamav perm module in rpm So I opened up browser and search for "file-scan-clamav perl dag rpm" and found some choices Eventually I end up with this file http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/3851508/com/perl-File-Scan-ClamA V-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm.html then when I try to install it says I need perl-base so I search and goto http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-base/ now... when I install perl-base and then goto install the file-scan-clamav rpm I get this... yum localinstall perl-File-Scan-ClamAV-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm Setting up Local Package Process Examining perl-File-Scan-ClamAV-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm: perl-File-Scan-ClamAV - 1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch Marking perl-File-Scan-ClamAV-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

So, I tried rebuilding perl-base and installing it yet it asked to be signed so I have to figure that part out and if it will solve this. Is that what the error is about in regards to perl-base >= 2:5.8.8 Or am I missing something else? Dag, would you consider putting File::Scan::ClamAV rpm on your site please? Thanks and kind regards! - rh

Migration from RH9
by Ugo Bellavance 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Hi, I will probably have to migrate a few servers running Red Hat 9 to CentOS and I'd like to have opinions. One server to migrate is running Fedora core 4. Reason for migrating to CentOS: no more security updates available, hardware change planned anyway. Here are the services to be migrated: sendmail pop (not sure which daemon, I think it is running the default daemon in RH9) DNS apache+PHP website FTP Dansguardian Samba Perforce Squid I haven't seen any directories like LDAP or windows Active Directory, so I assume for now that all authentication is done locally. Anyone has experience with that? I'm not too scared about sendmail, Bind, apache/PHP (except that maybe the PHP upgrade may break the website, but this is easily managed and can be tested), ftp. However, I don't know dansguardian much, but I guess it would be a good idea to integrate it with squid. I don't know squid much, but depending on what they're doing with it, it should be fairly simple. For samba, are there major changes between the default version in RH9 and Centos4 or 5? Anyone migrated a perforce environment? I'm also wondering whether I migrate them to centos3, 4, or 5. 3 would be to make the transition easier, while still letting them have many years of security updates. 4 is the version I use most, I barely touched 5. 5 would be for xen and... your ideas? I usually use OpenVZ for virtualization, but they might want to virtualize windows servers too, which OpenVZ can't do. Any input would be appreciated, Regards, Ugo

resize an image file
by Jerry Geis 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

I have a 100G disk on an old redhat 7.3 system. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 9.6G 2.4G 6.7G 27% / /dev/hda3 99G 6.1G 88G 7% /home hda2 is 2G swap I am trying to back that complete image up on my centos 5 system. I can do the dd if=/dev/hda bs=1M | ssh root@machine 'cat > disk.img' which gets me the whole 100G. As you can see most of the disk is unused. Is there a way to trim the resulting image to only be 10G instead of 100G? Thanks, Jerry

Re: [CentOS] Dual boot box: WinXP & CentOS 5: Impossible to restoreWinXP?

Been there and done that? I have huge appreciation, for the large number of packages that come from Upstream and are included in CentOS and the speed with which I can install the OS and so much stuff. And, for an example, the tools included, that would permit me to repair the WinXP problem, from the Linux side of the box, as you explained. To say nothing of my appreciation for the Developers of CentOS and the others who make this such a wonderful mailing list. I'm an old retired Assembly Language programmer (started with IBM 360/65) and I never worked with Unix, so this is a brand new world for me and one that I regret I did not work in, professionally. >If I were to re-do the whole drive, not knowing it's size I might do it as such: <snip> >You can then install Windows from within vmware by making /dev/sdc a raw disk for vmware.

I'm going to RTFM and I think this time around, make it dual boot again and also try to install Windows within VMware, as you explain. Next time, I will hopefully have enough confidence in my ability to do this properly, that I will only install CentOS and then install Windows within VMware. Thanks much! Lanny

manipulating files and directories with spaces
by Dave 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Hi, This might be a little O.t. so private responses please. I've got apache and samba running on a CentOS5 box enabling windows users to add web content. My issue is i've had to restore some backup data that was previously archived. The permissions aren't matching up so i'm wanting to use find and xargs to change them appropriately. Normally i do: find . -type type |xargs chmod value "{}"\; which usually works. My issue is the files were made with spaces so find isn't able to find them. Does anyone have a workaround? Some urgency! Thanks. Dave.

HDD usage oddity
by Ugo Bellavance 22 Nov '07

Hi, 2 of my Centos4 servers are showing weird behavior. [root@server1 ~]# du -sh /var/ 1.8G /var/ [root@server1 ~]# df -h /var Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda7 4.3G 3.9G 181M 96% /var [root@server2 var]# df -h /var Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda7 2.9G 2.7G 0 100% /var [root@server2 var]# du -sh /var/ 1.6G /var/ du seems to be reporting the right size Anyone seeing this?

Backups on external USB HDD
by Ugo Bellavance 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Hi, I'm trying to implement this: I have: - A windows 2000 server - A centos 4 server - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monthly. The tape drive in the windows server died recently and I decided to switch to USB external drives. However, the USB controller in the windows server is only 1.1, so it is very slow. I didn't want to install a 2.0 USB controller in the windows server since it is a brand-name and I didn't want to make it unstable, so I decided to make the backups of the windows server (using Backup Exec) on the linux box. So backup exec writes on the linux box via samba, directly on the USB drive. (I thought of writing on the linux box FS directly, then rsync'ing to the USB drive), but the space available on the local FS is about 90 gigs while the external USB drives are 250 gigs, meaning that I can keep like 4 weeks of data on the USB drives (using backup exec settings), while I could only keep 1 or 2 weeks otherwise. My questions is: -how can the USB drives be umounted/mounted automatically when the person on site changes it (monday to tuesday, for example). There will always be only one HDD conected at the time. Thanks, Ugo
