Lost file associations, too - urgent
by Mark Hull-Richter 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I just returned from a week's vacation and brought my CentOS 5.0 system back up, updated it, and somehow it has lost all the .doc file associations. These used to be associated with the OpenOffice writer, but that's now gone. ACtually, all the "open with" associations are gone (rtf's now think they should be opened by the text editor!). I'm not sure exactly what the association should be - can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. mhr

Linux File System w/case-insensitivity
by Al Sparks 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I used to mount some files via Samba which resided on a windows machine on a CentOS box. We moved the files to a NetApp filer, and I was unable to mount those files using either Samba or CIFS. Most of my problems with Samba were related to the (Windows?) password encryption scheme that has not been included in the Samba suite. Even if I use the mount t cifs, it didn't work. So on the NetApp filer, we switched the volume to NFS only (having the volume as both NFS and CIFS also didn't work, strangely enough), and I was able to mount the volume. Fine. But now the complaint is that the files are case sensitive, and doing searches for a particular file is problematical. So the question: Is there a file system that linux can access that's case insensitive? I guess making a LUN off the NetApp filer and formatting NTFS would work. But I thought I'd ask if there's other alternatives. Also, I think that it would have to be writable. I haven't checked, but isn't NTFS mountable read-only by linux? === Al

Scripting a directory change on CentOS
by James B. Byrne 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

This is probably a FAQ item but despite searching extensively with google I am unable to find an answerer to this question. Perhaps I am using the wrong words. In any case, at the risk of inducing some mirth at my ignorance, how can one script a cd command so that that the user remains in that directory when the script exits? I have to work with a long path to a project working directory and I would like to have a simple script called "current" which would produce the same effect as issuing this from the shell: cd ./very/long/path/to/obscurely/titled/project/directory I cannot seem to find anything that directly addresses this, other than to point out that shell scripts run in their own copy of the shell interpreter and so anything done to the PWD therein is local to the duration of the script. I could create a logical link from my home directory I suppose, but I desire a scripted solution. I really do not wish to program a utility to do this and I cannot believe that many people have not already addressed this desire with a straight forward answer. So if any of you have a simple to implement solution then could you share your answer with me? As I am a digest subscriber in addition to your answer to the list the favour of a direct reply is requested Sincerely, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

centos5/xen does not see all memory
by Peter Peltonen 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

I have a server with 6 gigs of memory. CentOS5/Xen sees only half of it. Could someone advice me how to get it recognize all my memory? I have installed 32bit CentOS5 and I'm running kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5. This kernel should have PAE support: $ grep PAE /boot/config-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen CONFIG_X86_PAE=y But xentop reports only 3 gigs of memory: Mem: 3145148k total, 2400512k used, 744636k free CPUs: 2 @ 2612MHz If I boot with kernel-PAE-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 the system recognizes all memory but I cannot use Xen. My motherboard is Supermicro H8SMA-2 A64/Opteron with MD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ processor and 2 x 1GB ECC DDR-II SDRAM and 2x 2GB ECC DDR-II SDRAM. Regards, Peter

Any SELinux gurus around?
by Ray Van Dolson 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hey all, I'm having some trouble getting PHP5 w/ CentOS 5 to connect to a remote MySQL server using the standard mysql_connect() call. Yes, MySQL libraries are installed along with php-mysql... The only way I can get it to work is to run setenforce Permissive, otherwise the connection fails. The annoying thing is that nothing at all shows up in my /var/log/messages file describing why SELinux is stopping this connection. If I run my script with the CLI php binary, it connects to the remote server fine, just not when executed via httpd. I tried running the following on my PHP script: chcon -u system_u -t httpd_sys_content_t test.php But still I cannot complete a connection until I put SELinux back in Permissive mode. Any tips? Why isn't SELinux sending a message to the logs (it does for other SElinux issues just fine)? TIA, Ray
