Please Update Extras Repo?!
by Kenneth Price 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Is there any reason the "extras" repo hasn't been updated in a while? Modules like kmod-xfs and kmod-drbd/kmod-drbd82 are frequently used and haven't been updated for the latest kernel. Powerdns is two months behind the critical security update to 2.9.21.1. If you're going to provide the extras repo as a default CentOS repository, then it MUST be given the same attention as the "updates" repo. Please update ASAP. Thank you, Kenneth Price

Perl CGI scripts - stripping out unwanted carriage returns etc
by Andrew Allen 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

I have a number of perl CGI scripts which I wrote some time ago (and which are working successfully on my website). I've set up a local server on which to do some development work on the scripts but I can't get them to work - the error log says: No such file or directory: exec of '/var/www/cgi-bin/script.cgi' failed Premature end of script headers: script.cgi etc By comparing two identical very simple cgi scripts (one works, the other doesn't), I've traced the problem to, apparently, unwanted carriage returns which have somehow got into the perl text files. Is there a quick and easy way (ie piece of software) to strip out these things, or do I have to do it manually? Thanks for any help, Andy

"EDAC i5000 MC0: FATAL ERRORS Found!!!" error message?
by Jeff 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hi List, We had the following error thrown on console on a PowerEdge server running CentOS 5 (64 bit). Googling around didn't yield any particular insights. The server crashed a few minutes after this message. Running memtester, just to check, didn't find anything; and the box has been running for months before this without issue. I'm wondering if anyone has run across this before, and if so, if it was software (CentOS) or hardware (PowerEdge / PowerVault) related? Oct 8 12:19:35 someServer kernel: EDAC i5000 MC0: FATAL ERRORS Found!!! 1st FATAL Err Reg= 0x4 Oct 8 12:19:35 someServer kernel: EDAC i5000 MC0: >Tmid Thermal event with intelligent throttling disabled Oct 8 12:19:35 someServer kernel: EDAC MC0: UE row 1, channel-a= 2 channel-b= 3 labels "-": (Branch=1 DRAM-Bank=0 RDWR=Write RAS=11802 CAS=0 FATAL Err=0x4) Thanks!

NameVirtualHost and CGI Problems
by Mike -- EMAIL IGNORED 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

On: Centos 5.2, with httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1.centos.3 I tried to bring up a web server using an httpd.con that runs well on: Fedora 8, with httpd-2.2.8-1.fc8 as well as several earlier versions, going back to Fedora 4. On the Centos version, I cannot successfully: run a NameVirtualHost; execute a CGI. I can bring up a simple page if I avoid the above. Suggestions would be much appresiated. Thanks, Mike.

Question about Mirrors
by Bo Lynch 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

I am trying to set up a local repo for my division. I tried to rsync 5.1 updates off the mirrors and recieved an error of no file or dir. After going to the mirror, I notice that all of the 5.1 filder is empty and there is a readme there that states..... This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated. For normal users, you should use /5/ and not /5.1/ in your path. Please see this FAQ concerning the CentOS release scheme: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34 If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 5.1 level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages. So I just want to make sure that I'm understanding this correct. I should use the 5.1 original RPMS for my base OS and get my updates for 5.1 from the 5 folder???? Just sounds weird. Should I do the same for my 5.0 release? Thanks for you help. -- Bo Lynch

Good [L]AMP tutorial for CentOS 5.2 ?
by Rene Fournier 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Being slightly familiar with BSD, I'm trying to get my feet wet with Linux, and was wondering if anyone can suggest a good walkthrough of setting up a CentOS server with Apache, PHP, and MySQL... I realize there are step-by-step guides of the sort "copy-this-line- paste-into-terminal-and-hit-enter", but I'd like to understand what's going on when I issue a single wget command and numerous packages and libraries start downloading.... Specifically: 1. Is there a "right" way to install software on Linux in general, an CentOS in particular? For example, the Package Manager on CentOS 5.2 allows you to install certain software, but often not the latest version. So if I go download MySQL 5.0.67 from the web, how do I install it and make it play nice with the rest of the system? Ditto for PHP 5.2.6. And once installed (either by the Package Manager -- and by the way, why are the apps it lists so out of date?), what's the best way to update PHP and MySQL? Is it simply a matter of downloading the binaries again and overwriting the existing install? On Mac OS X, such downloads come as .pkg files that seem to take care of so many details without requiring a trip to the command line. 2. Where should software, such as PHP, MySQL, Apache2, be installed? / usr/bin ? 3. Is it a bad idea to install some software from the command-line via wget, some software from the graphical Package Manager, and some software from the the web? What I mean is, so far it seems like Linux manages the list of installed packages, and I just wonder if I'm screwing things up this way. Anyway, sorry for the ramble, just looking for some guidance. Thanks. ...Rene
