Date/Time config 'behind the scenes'
by Tim Alberts 10 Feb '08

10 Feb '08

The GUI tool to set date time works great when your running X or whatever, but what is it really doing in the background? How do I setup automatic time synchronization from the command line? Reference the GUI setup doc at: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/ch-dateconfig.html

CentOS 5.1 php-curl
by Dean Maluski 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

I have two boxes nearly identical. I must have a package installed on one and not on the other. I cannot run a php-curl statement on one, and the other I can. Doing a google I find that I simply need to install php-common. According to box that does not work php-common is installed. What did I miss?

We did something very similar to what you're asking about in #1 and #2 where I used to work. I used the setup for installing on systems but someone else did the initial setup. You need to look at two things: PXE and custom kickstart. I think Red Hat has some guidance on how to set up both. If not, Google. The idea is that the system that needs to get an installation is set to "boot from LAN" in the BIOS and the PXE server is also setup as a DHCP server on the same LAN segment. The system being installed does a normal boot from LAN which contacts the DHCP/PXE server. The DHCP/PXE server provides the boot image using tftp from the first install CD and a kickstart file. The kickstart file controls the installation as to which apps get installed. The setup we used let us pick from several different possible kickstart files for different configurations so there's room for customizing the process. Hopefully, that's enough of a start in the right direction that you can Google for the details. As to #3, the idea is to have the source of the ghost image setup for DHCP booting and not be bound to a particular network card (HWADDR in the ifcfg-ethX file). The target system gets the ghost image and then needs to reboot. When it boots, it gets a new IP address via DHCP. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Create a Yum repository for CentOS 5?
by Niki Kovacs 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5.1 on both server and desktops. I have a series of packages that I either rebuilt from CentOS SRPMS to modify them according to my needs (PHP for example), or that I built from Fedora Core SRPMS because they're not available on CentOS nor in the RPMForge repos (Seamonkey, MPD with libshout support, xmms-wma, ...). I want to create my own remote Yum repository for these packages, but I don't quite know how to achieve that. I've done something similar with Slackware and swaret before, though, so I sort of grasp the logic behind it. Is it possible to do that on a remote server where I only have FTP access? E. g. somehow create the repo locally on one build box, copy the whole tree over to the remote machine and then add some according file/stanza in /etc/yum.repos.d/ ? cheers, Niki
