Netinstall & NFS using local server.
by Lisandro Grullon 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Dear CentOS community, I have install centos via CD, DVD and Directly off the net via http and FTP. Now I want to do a NFS install from a local server and a client. Both, client and server are in the same vlan 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0. The server has a static 10.14.10.15 address and the client gets its own address via DHCP. I download the DVD image from one of the mirrors and placed it under /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso which is a dedicated partition on the server to hold all images. After that I exported the usual entries under /etc/exports and reloaded NFS using /sbin/service nfs reload. This is what my exports file looks like: [root@zeus DVD]# cat /etc/exports /centos-media/centosdvd64 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash) /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash) After doing so, I also modified the entries under IPtables to allow traffic in 111 and 2049 at the UDP/TCP level and restarted the service as shown bellow. [root@zeus DVD]# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables # Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel # Manual customization of this file is not recommended. *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 10.14.10.0/24 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 10.14.10.0/24 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 10.14.10.0/24 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 10.14.10.0/24 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT COMMIT [root@zeus DVD]# /sbin/service iptables restart When I try loading the net-install disc from the client i get to the area where I specify the Ip of the server and the NFS path in the server, hitting enter returns "That directory does not seem to contain CentOS installation tree", I triple check the ISO and I know its there with all appropriate permissions. Can someone tell me what am I missing? I have spend all day trying to get NFS working in the local vlan, i know that all ports are open within the vlan at the routers level. Any clues?

Dear All, I had my earlier post sub virtual machine does not start up.. by the way i did manage to solve my problem . i actually dont know what could be the real cause but I did reconnect my cd rom drive and voila did come up let me explain i have a sun blade server which conects the keyboard , mouse and cd rom with a front panel USB cable . so the cd rom was removed and hence my virtual servers were not starting up but now i see a new problem. i am not able to ping the gateway let me explain my sun blade has 2 network cards wqith centos 5.5 one has a public ip and the other my internal network ip. the gateway for my sun blade is the public ip now from the sun server i can ping the gateway. also i can ping the private network gateway both of which on my core switch now my virtual machine has a private network ip ( the same network range as the interface ip ) but when i try to ping the gateway i am not to ping the public ip network and private ip network is on separate vlans apprecite if some can advice and help me if you need any more information plsss do ask regards simon

php.ini disabled notices still shows notices in the logs
by George 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hello, I did some google searches but could not find anyone raising a similar issue immediatly but perhaps there is already somewhere a bugreport upstream about this I did overlook ... When you disable notices in /etc/php.ini: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE on a simple LAMP setup of CentOS 5.x (running 5.0 up to 5.5) I still see notices in the log files ... (which causes a serious overhead of logs in my case ...) Anyone can confirm this and/or can point me towards bugreports/solutions? Regards, George
