Installing odbtp on CentOS 5.5
by Ron Young 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

I have just bought a new machine and of course installed CentOS 5.5 x86_64 from a recently created DVD. So the machine has: PHP Version => 5.2.17 MySQL Client API version => 5.0.77 Apache/2.2.3 Does anyone know how to get odbtp installed? I have followed all the INSTALL and README instructions that came with the odbtp package including the README.64bitOS file. There has got to be a trick some where that I am missing. TIA.

I'm trying to setup the Janrain implementation of OpenID in a dev box running CentOS 5.5. The detect.php script is telling me, "Your web server seems to corrupt queries. Received , expected a=%26b. Check for mod_encoding." Does anyone know what package provides this? Thanks

mkswap - unable to relabel, operation not supported

Hi, I am getting following error on creating a swap fs. CentOS 5.5 {{{ mkswap: unable to relabel /srv/cloud/one/var/25/images/disk.1 to system_u:object_r:swapfile_t: Operation not supported }}} The selinux is configured in permissive mode.

Any reliable way to determine LVM snapshot creation time?
by Dr. Ed Morbius 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

We utilize LVM snapshots for some periodic maintenance. They're manually created and, usually, manually destroyed. But not always. So there's now a nightly script monitoring for open snapshots. Which raises the question of when a given snapshot was created. Absent good practices of, say, using sudo to create snapshots (leaving a /var/log/secure message), is there any reasonably reliable way to determine when an LVM was created? There's a timestamp on the /dev/mapper/<snapshot> file. I'm presuming that's somewhat useful for this purpose? Ah: just found /var/log/messages also indicates: lvm[2314]: Monitoring snapshot <name> lvm[2314]: No longer monitoring snapshot <name> ... which I think answers my own question.

Can anyone help me understand Apache Errors?
by Todd 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

LogWatch reports items like: Connection attempts using mod_proxy: 83.167.123.83 -> 205.188.251.1:443: 1 Time(s) 83.167.123.83 -> 64.12.202.36:443: 2 Time(s) Requests with error response codes 403 Forbidden 205.188.251.1:443: 1 Time(s) 64.12.202.36:443: 2 Time(s) 404 Not Found //jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor: 1 Time(s) /VINT_1984_THINK_DIFFERENT: 1 Time(s) /mobo.png: 1 Time(s) /player.swf: 1 Time(s) /robots.txt: 4 Time(s) Now, I know mod_proxy is turned off by default, but is there a way to "play games" with those that attempt a proxy connection? Like a ReWrite rule or some sort? For the 404's, Obviously these don't exist, but robots.txt so I am not sure why that has a 404. What are 406 errors? Some Googling say they are due to mod_security issues and that an .htaccess fix can turn it off. But I don't understand the issue and the solution to be honest. What am I missing? -Jason

Dell PERC H800 commandline RAID monitoring tools
by Dr. Ed Morbius 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

We're looking for tools to be used in monitoring the PERC H800 arrays on a set of database servers running CentOS 5.5. We've installed most of the OMSA (Dell monitoring) suite. Our current alerting is happening through SNMP, though it's a bit hit or miss (we apparently missed a couple of earlier predictive failure alerts on one drive). OMSA conflicts with mega-cli, though we may find that the latter is the more useful package. Both are pretty byzantine, the Dell stuff simply doesn't have docs (in particular: docs on how to interpret the omconfig log output). Ideally we'd like something which could be run as a Nagios plugin or cron job providing information on RAID status and/or possible disk errors. Probably both, actually. Thanks in advance. -- Dr. Ed Morbius, Chief Scientist / | Robot Wrangler / Staff Psychologist | When you seek unlimited power Krell Power Systems Unlimited | Go to Krell!

RHEL4 EOL
by Kwan Lowe 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Just curious... CentOS4 lifetime tracks RHEL4 somewhat... Since RedHat has announced LTS (Long Term Support) for RHEL4, are there plans to extend the CentOS 4 support window?
