5.1.6 php to 5.3, a few questions
by Bob Hoffman 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Alright, looks like I have to do this (centos 5.x install). Some questions.. 1) I imagine I have to uninstall my current version of php...will yum remove want to take a ton of programs with it? Would I have to individually uninstall each package instead? 2) yum down the new version from some repo and then install it. I imagine nothing from the previous setup will be there and I would have to start going through the program and config files to make it work with my system, yes? 3) for those that have done it, how many things broke when you took out the old and added the new? honestly just thinking about getting a new comp, installing centos6, adding some virtuals, moving the sites over to the new one and being done with it. Not comfortable with a version of php that will not be backported like 5.1.6 is with centos team. any problems you encountered, would love to hear about them. thanks

我初体验centos,见别人的安装界面截图里有Chinese选项,我在Live模式安装Centos6时却找不到Chinese选项。难道centos6不支持中文环境? 这个是别人的截图: http://www.williamlong.info/upload/1912_2.jpg 附件里是我的安装界面截图

Re: [CentOS] Problem getting eth0 up
by Lisandro Grullon 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Is you network card even loaded when you type "ifconfig -a" in the $hell? Give us more details as to what you are doing to get the DHCP address. >>> Alfred von Campe 08/16/11 4:57 PM >>> I'm just starting to test CentOS 6 in our environment, and as a first step did a basic install from DVD (Desktop target, all defaults). Next I will try to automate the installations as I did for CentOS 5 using the anakonda-ks.cfg file generated by the manual install. However, I can't wrap my brain around the new NetworkManager to get it to configure the eth0 interface to obtain an IP address from our DHCP server. I've seen the FAQ on the wiki and the interface is up, but it doesn't get an IP address. I've done the installation from DVD multiple times now, each time with the same result. What am i missing?

OT?
by Dave Stevens 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

I have a CentOS server with postfix running. A pop user's account was compromised and a lot of spam started being sent. My upstream ISP's mail program started refusing to talk to me because of the very high rate of mail, error 451. I disabled the compromised account. I then changed the postfix settings to deliver mail directly and flushed the mail queue. This resulted in spam being sent out. There were about 20K mails in the queue. I don't know how I might have handled this better, I would have preferred to not send the spam, but the volume was large and the labour of sorting out spam from legit email was prohibitive. Advice? A better list for this issue perhaps? Dave -- "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Krishnamurti

Are file system mounts costly?
by Reynolds McClatchey 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

I recall a kernel parameter on Unix System V of number of mounted file systems. Max recommended was 8. Larger numbers slowed down inode location and impacted performance. Has Linux solved that bottleneck? Are 20 or 30 mounted efs and cifs file systems on one system OK? -- M Reynolds McClatchey Jr VP Engineering and Inventory Southern Aluminum Finishing Co Inc 404-355-1560 x222 Voice 1581 Huber St NW 404-350-0581 Fax Atlanta GA 30318
