Small Business support for *nix systems in Spain
by Kurt Hansen 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Hello, This message just came across on another mailing list I am on. The little dig on Unix as being old and Windows being new got me annoyed so I wanted to reply, but with some real contacts that he asks for at the end. I figured there might be some folks who could help him out. Feel free to reply on list or to me, and I will forward on your contact info. Message follows: " Our company has 30 shops that connect to a central server where the point -of-sale software runs, and is currently operating on Unix (it´s an old system we acquired when we bought another company). It seems obvious we have to replace this Unix architecture with something more modern (and better able to manage our growing needs). The computer consultants we work with have suggested two options: - Moving to Windows Terminal server (cheaper) - Moving to Citrix with virtualized servers (more expensive but apparently much faster and more powerful). Does anybody have any experience wotking on Citrix (or Windows Terminal Server) and have any views on them? Are there better options available for small to mid sized companies (we currently have 50 or so users logging it but expect to grow to 150-200 relatively quickly). Finally does anyone have any contacts in Spain that you coud recommend for something like this? " End of quoted message. Take care, Kurt Hansen CharityWeb

Problem installing WordPress on CentOS
by Niki Kovacs 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hi, I have a curious problem installing WordPress on a local LAMP server running CentOS 5.5. I have some other (dynamic) websites running on the same machine without problems. Here's what I did. 1) Create a 'wordpress' database in MySQL monitor. 2) Download WordPress, unzip it into /var/www/html/ 3) # chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/wordpress 4) Open Firefox on http://localhost/wordpress 5) Follow instructions (fill in database name, database user and password, etcetera). And here's where things go wrong. When I click on "Begin installation", Firefox wants to "open" the file install.php by leaving me one of the two following choices : a) edit "install.php" in GEdit b) download "install.php" I'm puzzled. Why doesn't install.php simply open as a page? Any idea what went wrong here? Cheers, Niki

Building an install disk on a USB key manually or using unetbootin
by David 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Has anyone successfully built a USB key for installing centos5.5 either manually or using a tool like unetbootin? I am trying to create one using the 64bit install DVD iso and so far the USB either won't boot (unetbootin) or the installation aborts after I select the iso location on the USB key (manual). Thanks, David

I have an HP Server w/ a Smart Array controller I need to test. I always used to use Inquisitor for this, but the hd tests are flaking out on the cciss syntax and I don't have time to dig into it, the machine is essential and I need to know whats needing to be replaced asap. Anyone know a live cd based stress test that works on SA controllers? Thanks! jlc

Re: [CentOS] Problem installing WordPress on CentOS

Basti Schubert a écrit : > have a look at your webserver error log > > cheers > basti That did the trick! I took a peek in /var/log/httpd/error_log, and found a few lines of "script tried to increase memory_limit to xxxxxxxx bytes". I edited /etc/php.ini and increased the memory limit from 16M to 32M, restarted Apache, and now everything works. By the way: I wonder if this could create some problems. Thanks very much! Niki

Sending files from mobile to CentOS via Bluetooth
by Toralf Lund 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Has anyone here managed to send files from a mobile phone to a CentOS system via Bluetooth? I'm trying with a Samsung E1310, using the GNOME tools, but can't get it to work. I can send files from the Linux box to this phone using the Nautilus bluetooth plugin (nautilus-sendto-bluetooth), and have also managed to "pull" some data I've been trying to send, via "obexftp". If I try to initiate a transfer from the phone, however, it will just display a generic "connection failed" message. If I run gnome-obex-server from the command line while doing this, I get $ gnome-obex-server conn_request: bdaddr <addres of phone> conn_complete: status 0x00 But that's pretty much it. Any ideas? I'll also include some hcidump output below... Note that based on a simple web search, it does look like others have experienced the same thing, but I didn't really get much out of the information I found in terms of figuring out how to resolve the problem. I'm using the latest packages from the CentOS 5 repositories. I also tried slightly older versions of bluez-utils and blues-libs as report at Red Hat Bugzilla suggested this might help, but it didn't really. - Toralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > HCI Event: Connect Request (0x04) plen 10 < HCI Command: Accept Connection Request (0x01|0x0009) plen 7 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 > HCI Event: Connect Complete (0x03) plen 11 < HCI Command: Read Remote Supported Features (0x01|0x001b) plen 2 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 < HCI Command: Write Link Policy Settings (0x02|0x000d) plen 4 > HCI Event: Read Remote Supported Features (0x0b) plen 11 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 6 < HCI Command: Change Connection Packet Type (0x01|0x000f) plen 4 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 < HCI Command: Remote Name Request (0x01|0x0019) plen 10 > HCI Event: Connection Packet Type Changed (0x1d) plen 5 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 < HCI Command: Remote Name Request (0x01|0x0019) plen 10 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 < HCI Command: Remote Name Request (0x01|0x0019) plen 10 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 > ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 12 L2CAP(s): Connect req: psm 1 scid 0x0040 < ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 16 L2CAP(s): Connect rsp: dcid 0x0040 scid 0x0040 result 0 status 0 Connection successful > HCI Event: Max Slots Change (0x1b) plen 3 > ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 12 L2CAP(s): Config req: dcid 0x0040 flags 0x00 clen 0 < ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 14 L2CAP(s): Config rsp: scid 0x0040 flags 0x00 result 0 clen 0 Success < ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 12 L2CAP(s): Config req: dcid 0x0040 flags 0x00 clen 0 > ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 14 L2CAP(s): Config rsp: scid 0x0040 flags 0x00 result 0 clen 0 Success > ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 24 L2CAP(d): cid 0x0040 len 20 [psm 1] SDP SSA Req: tid 0x1 len 0xf pat uuid-16 0x1105 (OBEXObjPush) max 672 aid(s) 0x0004 (ProtocolDescList) cont 00 < ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 11 L2CAP(d): cid 0x0040 len 7 [psm 1] SDP Error Rsp: tid 0x1 len 0x2 code 0x3 info none > HCI Event: Remote Name Req Complete (0x07) plen 255 > HCI Event: Number of Completed Packets (0x13) plen 5 > HCI Event: Number of Completed Packets (0x13) plen 5 > ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 24 L2CAP(d): cid 0x0040 len 20 [psm 1] SDP SSA Req: tid 0x1 len 0xf pat uuid-16 0x1105 (OBEXObjPush) max 672 aid(s) 0x0004 (ProtocolDescList) cont 00 < ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 11 L2CAP(d): cid 0x0040 len 7 [psm 1] SDP Error Rsp: tid 0x1 len 0x2 code 0x3 info none > ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 24 L2CAP(d): cid 0x0040 len 20 [psm 1] SDP SSA Req: tid 0x1 len 0xf pat uuid-16 0x1105 (OBEXObjPush) max 672 aid(s) 0x0004 (ProtocolDescList) cont 00 < ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 11 L2CAP(d): cid 0x0040 len 7 [psm 1] SDP Error Rsp: tid 0x1 len 0x2 code 0x3 info none > HCI Event: Number of Completed Packets (0x13) plen 5 > ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 12 L2CAP(s): Disconn req: dcid 0x0040 scid 0x0040 < ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 12 L2CAP(s): Disconn rsp: dcid 0x0040 scid 0x0040 > HCI Event: Number of Completed Packets (0x13) plen 5 > HCI Event: Disconn Complete (0x05) plen 4 This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Fsck on mdraid array
by Jussi Hirvi 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Something seems to be wrong with my file systems, and I want to fsck everything. But I cannot. The setup consists of 2 hds, carrying 3 raid1 (ext3) file systems (boot, /, swap). OS is up-to-date CentOS 5. So I boot from CentOS 5.3 dvd in rescue mode, do not mount the file systems, and try to run fsck -y /dev/md0 fsck -y /dev/md1 fsck -y /dev/md2 For each try I get an error message: "Superblock could not be found..." "The device does not seem to contain a valid ext2 filesystem..." Well, of course not, the filesystem is ext3, not ext2. I also tried fsck.ext3, but the error messages stay the same. So, how could I fsck these arrays? - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) jussi.hirvi(a)greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi
