ClamAV help needed
by Anne Wilson 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

ClamAV is installed on my CentOS box. I edited the conf file and assumed all is well. Clearly it isn't. Every day I see in logwatch that my signatures are updated, and the database notified, but if I try to scan a file manually it tells me that my signatures are 55 days old. I tried looking at a how-to, in the hope of identifying the problem, but it is hopelessly out of date, and I reached the stage where it seemed that following it any further risked my installation. Can someone please give me a quick run-down of the things I should check. Clearly freshclam is running, but that's about all I know for certain. Thanks Anne

USB Wireless device for CentOS?
by MHR 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

I need to get a wireless device for an upcoming trip (USB is preferable to PCMCIA for a long list of reasons) and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with or recommendations for such items, particularly which ones work with Linux/CentOS. Right now I'm debating between a reasonably cheap Belkin 54G and a slightly more expensive Netgear 54G. Thanks. mhr

KS Package Selection
by Joseph L. Casale 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

My ks file has just Base which obviously pulls in a few other things I don't want like dialup support etc. System-config-kickstart doesn't let you specifically drill down what options are in each group. Is there a resource depicting exactly what packages are in each of the groups so I could write out specifically what I want? Thanks! jlc

USB Ethernet dongles
by Robert Moskowitz 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Speaking of USB devices (recent thread on wireless USB), I need at least 4 USB ethernet dongles, cheap. So on EBay I found: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-10-100-USB-to-Ethernet-Network-LAN-Adapter-NIC-RJ45… http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-0-to-RJ45-LAN-Ethernet-Network-Adapter-Vista-A37_… http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-to-10-100-MB-LAN-Ethernet-Network-Adapter-Converter… Now these specific auctions have ended, but these items are there from the sellers multiple times. Trying to find out if any of them will work for Centos. One is listed as using RealTek chipset, but not which one. I asked the sellers about chipsets to find out about Linux support and the first one listed the seller just restated it works for Windows.... Any help would be appreciated. I need these for test systems so best is it works and is cheap....

Apache jserv monitoring?
by Sean Carolan 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

In our environment we have many legacy application servers running apache/jserv. There is a web server front end, then a couple of load-balanced java servers on the backside. One of the problems we are faced with is hung or stuck jvms. I have looked at the java process with the ps command, and there are many times when URL(s) do not respond, yet the java looks healthy, at least from the OS point of view. The usual cure for this situation is to restart the JVM, then the URLs come right back up. Are any of you aware of tools for monitoring apache jserv, either from localhost or by connecting to port 8008 over the network? I really want to find out if there is a way to detect a "sick" JVM other than getting a bunch of down URL alerts on my phone.

Virtual Box
by Michael Peterson 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Has anyone else tried and successfully installed CentOS 5.1 into the latest (1.62) Virtual Box in Windows XP Pro? I can get Ubuntu and EasyS to install fine but CentOS and Fedora so far fail to install even after several attempts. With CentOS 5.1 it keeps saying not enough disk space even if I allocate 32 GB and 64 GB of virtual space. I have at least 40+ GB free on the hard drive. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG. Version: 8.0.100 / Virus Database: 270.3.0/1505 - Release Date: 6/16/2008 7:20 AM

Centos on the OQO Mod 2
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

I may be getting a couple of these for traveling servers (smaller than a PICO-ITX system!). Info is available for putting Ubuntu on it (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OQO), but what about Centos? Any help out there?

No php-cgi/cli?
by Benjamin Smith 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

I'm trialing the use of lighttpd/php to improve performance for a web services cluster. My initial testing on Fedora Core 8 was very positive, but it seems that CentOS 4 doesn't have a package that installs the /usr/bin/php-cli file as available in Fedora Core 8? In FC8, it's found in a package called "php-cli". Am I just missing something? -Ben -- -- Only those who reach toward a goal are likely to achieve it. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

17 Jun '08

I see one mention in the forums of someone using the CentOS5Web AMI, but I can't find anything about its provenance.
