Open Source CPanel equivalent for CentOS?
by Eric B. 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a solid, reliable Open Source equivalent of Cpanel/Plesk that I can run on my CentOS boxes. I've done some searching around and find a bunch of them which seem to have stopped or stalled development, but I am figuring that there has got to be a strong market / demand for something out there. Is anyone using something secure, solid and complete? I don't need something for users to sign up themselves online, but would like something to give them abilities to administer their own domains. I am more than happy to move my entire existing mail server and accounts to something new if I can give my users this ability. Thanks! Eric

mounting filesystems with blocks larger then 4k over a loop device
by Ruslan Sivak 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

So I'm playing around with S3 and elasticdrive, and I create a filesystem on it with a block size larger then 4k. mkfs.xfs -b size=8k /mnt/ed5/ed0 -f This completes fine and sets up the proper filesystem. When I try to mount it, however, I get: mount /mnt/ed5/ed0 /mnt/eds35/ -o loop mount: Function not implemented looking at dmesg I get: XFS: Attempted to mount file system with blocksize 8192 bytes XFS: Only page-sized (4096) or less blocksizes currently work. XFS: SB validate failed I had similar issues with reiserFS. Is there a way to get a filesystem with larger then 4k blocks in CentOS 5? Russ

CentOS5 and ipw2200
by Christian Volker 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi all! I tried to use CentOS5 on an IBM Thinkpad R52 which has an Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Mini-PCI Adapter installed. I downloaded the firmware from the DAG-Repo (afaik 3.0.0) and added a "alias eth1 ipw2200" to modules.conf. After the module was loaded successfully (including the firmware) I was able to configure the card. For simplicity I didn't use any encryption. My access point as well is not using any encryption. I tried to use DHCP, but the card didn't get assigned to any IP address. So I used the manual configuration which seemed to work fine during startup. But unfortunately not network connection could be made. So no ICMP ping packets where reaching the destination. Using the iwconfig command I could see my SSID from the access point. Playing around with some values didn't have any success. So I tried using FC8- and it worked fine with fixed address settings. As well as OpenSuSE 10.2. Anyone an idea what's going wrong here?

Postfix dying
by Paul Norton 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hello list, Postfix is dying on one of my servers almost nightly. This system is running CentOS5 with postfix-2.3.3-2. In the morning (after noticing it died) I try to run `service postfix stop` and I get a failed start. Running `ps ax | grep postfix` I can see one process still running for postfix. After killing this, I am able to run `service postfix start`. I see a lot of this in my maillog: Nov 7 00:25:13 servername postfix/smtpd[16727]: lost connection after CONNECT from unknown[201.251.x.x] Nov 7 00:25:13 servername postfix/smtpd[16715]: disconnect from unknown[201.251.x.x] Nov 7 00:25:13 servername postfix/smtpd[16727]: disconnect from unknown[201.251.x.x] Nov 7 00:25:13 servername postfix/smtpd[16723]: warning: connect to private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 7 00:25:13 servername postfix/smtpd[16723]: warning: problem talking to server private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 7 00:25:13 servername postfix/smtpd[16723]: lost connection after CONNECT from unknown[201.251.x.x] Nov 7 00:25:13 servername postfix/smtpd[16723]: disconnect from unknown[201.251.x.x] Nov 7 00:27:22 servername postfix/smtpd[16184]: warning: timeout on private/anvil while reading input attribute name Nov 7 00:27:22 servername postfix/smtpd[16184]: warning: problem talking to server private/anvil: Connection timed out Nov 7 00:27:22 servername postfix/smtpd[16910]: warning: timeout on private/anvil while reading input attribute name Nov 7 00:27:22 servername postfix/smtpd[16910]: warning: problem talking to server private/anvil: Connection timed out Nov 7 00:27:22 servername postfix/smtpd[16726]: warning: timeout on private/anvil while reading input attribute name Nov 7 00:27:22 servername postfix/smtpd[16726]: warning: problem talking to server private/anvil: Connection timed out Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16184]: warning: connect to private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16184]: warning: problem talking to server private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16184]: lost connection after CONNECT from unknown[201.251.x.x] Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16184]: disconnect from unknown[201.251.x.x] Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16910]: warning: connect to private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16910]: warning: problem talking to server private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16910]: lost connection after CONNECT from unknown[86.123.x.x] Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16910]: disconnect from unknown[86.123.x.x] Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16726]: warning: connect to private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16726]: warning: problem talking to server private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16726]: lost connection after CONNECT from cpe-024-x-x-x.carolina.x.x.com[24.74.x.x] Nov 7 00:27:23 servername postfix/smtpd[16726]: disconnect from cpe-024-074-x-x.carolina.x.x.com[24.74.x.x] TIA for any suggestions. -- Paul Norton Systems Administrator Neoverve - www.neoverve.com Neoverve Blog - http://blog.neoverve.com/

Re: [CentOS] backups and md5 all in one while splitting
by Ross S. W. Walker 13 Nov '07

Well in bash/sh the () means execute in a sub-shell. If you redirect or pipe output from one process to a command in a sub-shell it will be redirected or piped (whatever the original was) to the command being executed in the sub-shell. You can also use $(command) as a command-line variable that will substitute the output of the command during evaluation. Ie # mkinitrd /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) -Ross -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Mon Nov 12 17:57:11 2007 Subject: Re: [CentOS] backups and md5 all in one while splitting Ross S.

'tee' splits the stdin into multiple output streams. The first instance of tee you listed gave it a file name and a pipe to output the stdout to. The second instance did a redirection to a sub-shell which then passed it to 'split' and it also had a pipe. -Ross -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Mon Nov 12 17:44:47 2007 Subject: Re: [CentOS] backups and md5 all in one while splitting Shad L.

How to know when files have finished FTPing?
by Neil Aggarwal 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hello: I have a server set up a CentOS 5 server for a client to push files onto using FTP. I have a cron job to process the files and move them to another directory. Sometimes, the cron job executes while the client is still uploading a file (Some of them can be large) and I get a partial file. Is there a way to tell when a file has finished uploading? I am using the vsftpd daemon installed using yum. Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (832)245-7314, www.JAMMConsulting.com Eliminate junk email and reclaim your inbox.
