New to Centos, and linux in general
by Michael 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

I've installed DSL linux -- no problem My expertise is in the HP3000 (non windows, non unix) environment. When I boot from Centos CD#1 I get a Panic error..... I'm thinking hardware is the issue so I try a different machine, same thing. I've tried 'linux rescue', 'linux mem=256' still the same error, which is mostly unreadable to me because most all the messages roll off the top of the screen. I am willing to buy new hardware, what hardware will just work right out of the box? Or are there other boot options? -- Michael Anderson, J3k Solutions Sr.Systems Programmer/Analyst 832.515.3868

centos 5.1 install failure
by Monty Shinn 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Greetings. I am attempting to install 5.1 x86_64, but it is dumping out during the post-install section. I was able to send a debug to a remote system. I've never looked through an install debug log before, but everything seems to be in order until after the "tar" install, at which point I get the following error: error: db4 error(-30977) from dbcursor->c_put: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery This db4 error runs until the system finally notices a crash. This box ran centos 4.x for over a year without a problem. Supermicro motherboard Intel 3.2 gig Xeon procs, x2 8 gigs memory 3ware 9550 12port SATA 3ware 8006 2 port SATA No other pci cards. I also ran memtest with no errors. It ran for approx. 15 hours. I tried to install with the 5.0 discs as well, but that install failed as well. I turned of ACPI in the bios after the second failure. This didn't help. I have been using the graphical install. I am about to try the text-based install. Any thoughts? Thanks, Monty

Re: [CentOS] need advise on protect base and priorities plugin

Thanks. ----- Original Message ---- From: Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 20:54:09 Subject: Re: [CentOS] need advise on protect base and priorities plugin ceejay cervantes wrote: > Hi, > > Is it not ok to use both plugins at the same time? I have read from the wiki page of centos that you must use only either protect base or priorities plugin. I have been using the the config file below for months and did not encounter any problems. I used priority=1 and protect=1 on base and updates (addons,extras protect=1 ; set no priorities) for the CentOS-Base repo and on the rpmforge repo I used protect=0 and did not set any priority. Should I enable only one (protect base or priorities) and not both? Thanks. > Just for the record, basically protectbase is priorities with only 2 settings (0 and 1) So, if you have both installed, protectbase will override the priorities. So, you should pick one or the other, but not both. Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

No it isn't. Use priorities (newer) as it allows more flexible control over protectbase (older).

Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /phpMyAdmin/ on this server.
by Herta Van den Eynde 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Environment: - CentOS 5.1, - Apache 2.2.3 - php 5.1.6 - phpMyAdmin 2.11.6 - MySQL 5.0.22 Brand new system, brand new installation of all the above products. All looks well, but when I try to connect to phpMyAdmin, I get an error: "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /phpMyAdmin/ on this server". I'll forgo all the paths I followed trying to get this to work and cut to the "solution": I renamed the phpMyAdmin directory to pma, copied all files in the pma directory to a new phpMyAdmin (FWIIW, using 'cp -pr'), and voilà, problem vanished. (I cannot explain why I even tried that.) My first idea was that maybe the copy somehow resolved some issue at the directory level, but when I output an 'ls -laR' of the two directories to two files, 'diff' shows both files to be identical (apart from the timestamps on . and .. directories). The pma and phpMyAdmin directories reside in the same documentroot, have the same ownership, and the same permissions. This must be about the weirdest experience in my professional career. If anyone can shed a light on this, it'd be most welcome. I still have the original (malfunctioning) directory on the system to bounce ideas off if anyone has any inspiration (system will go live this weekend). Kind regards, Herta -- "Life on Earth may be expensive, but it comes with a free ride around the Sun."

control outgoing IP address?
by Les Mikesell 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

I'd like to consolidate some services that have been assigned by IP (dns, syslog etc.) onto one machine by giving it IP aliases to accept connections for the old addresses until all the references are fixed. However, I'd like to have it use it's original IP as the source for outbound connections. Where do you control that? -- Les Mikesell lesmiksell(a)gmail.com

Kernel/harware question
by Thomas Dukes 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Hello, I have an IBM Netvista and since kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2, I have not been able to upgrade to the latest kernel. If I do, in about 8 hours, the system becomes sluggish almost unresponsive. Currently I am running 4.6 but with the kernel mentioned above. I think I may have figured out the problem. It seems when I reboot with the new kernel, kudzu runs and wants to configure a different driver for this card, Intel Pro/100. If it does, it will cause the problem I mentioned. If I don't let it update the driver, it seems to be fine. So my question is how can I force it to use the driver from kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2? Is it something I need to add to grub.conf?? If so, what? TIA

Is this an imminent hardware failure? Do I have kernel issues? I've checked the system with lm_sensors and temps are perfectly normal. Also, performance and operation seems to be fine. Even with these errors, my services are running without any hiccups. HELP! :-) Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105
