BCP 47 support in CentOS 7 PHP
by Alice Wonder 31 Oct '15

31 Oct '15

This is something I would like to share, and if possible, get feedback. I am working on a calendar webapp - something to replace Google Calendar for webmasters that do not like the idea of their users being tracked. Part of that project involves time zone selection, and time zone selection I want internationalized, and I found the existing functions in PHP to be extremely poor. As in the php function for getting the preferred language from the browser was often flat out incorrect. That led me to creating my own class for BCP 47 support : https://calendar.librelamp.com/BCP47 Not perfect yet (er, probably never will be perfect) but at least the bugs I find are my bugs so I can figure out how to fix them. Just found one - with perfectly valid language tag es-419 when the class attempts to create a glibc language tag, it uses es_ES.utf8 which is obviously wrong. I didn't take into account UN region codes when it tries to find a glibc match. But anyway, I know it is asking a lot, but I want to get this right and would love feedback from anyone who deals with internationalizing php web applications. Thanks, Alice

disable ZTS in php
by Tim Dunphy 31 Oct '15

31 Oct '15

Hey guys, I'm trying to disable ZTS in php, because an application we need (AppDynamics) is not compatible with it. So I tried compiling php with the following flags: php -i | grep configure Configure Command => './configure' '--with-apxs2=/opt/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--prefix=/opt/php-5.6.8' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--enable-mime-magic' '--enable-pcntl' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-gd' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr/lib64' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64' '--with-zlib' '--with-ldap' '--enable-exif' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-wddx' '--with-kerberos' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-calendar' '--with-xmlrpc' '--enable-soap' '--disable-pdo' '--with-openssl' '--with-xsl' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-mcrypt=/usr' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-pdo' '--with-pdo-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysql' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--enable-zip' '--enable-dba=shared' '--with-gettext=shared' '--with-gmp' '--enable-ftp' '--with-pspell' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d'* '--disable-maintainer-zts'* And for some reason the AppD installer is claiming that ZTS is still enabled. So what I'd like to know is, did I disable ZTS correctly? If I did that means the problem is on the AppD side so we should take a look there. Appreciate any help on this!

Screen
by Andrew Holway 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hey I like to use Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E a lot to navigate my insane big bash one liners but this is incompatible with Screen which has a binding to Ctrl-A. Is it possible to move the screen binding so I can have the best of both worlds? Ta Andrew

Centos 6: language mess with ssh
by Philippe BOURDEU d'AGUERRE 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

When I connect through SSH to my Centos 6 box, language are mixed: connection is in english but password change dialog is in french. Example: $ ssh aa@quercy You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced) Last login: Fri Oct 30 11:41:31 2015 from quercy WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change your password now and login again! Changement de mot de passe pour l'utilisateur aa. Nouveau mot de passe : Retapez le nouveau mot de passe : (Current) Password: passwd : mise à jour réussie de tous les jetons d'authentification. Connection to quercy closed. I tried: "LANG=C ssh aa@quercy" and I get the same mess. Is it possible to get password change dialog in english ? -- Philippe BOURDEU d'AGUERRE AIME - Campus de l'INSA http://www.aime-toulouse.fr/ 135 av. de Rangueil Tél +33 561 559 885 31077 TOULOUSE Cedex 4 - FRANCE Fax +33 561 559 870

Fwd: SOS
by Hugo Fernández 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Greetings. Please help me. I have installed Centos 7 , but when I do, yum update give me error next. Complementos cargados:fastestmirror, langpacks One of the configured repositories failed (Desconocido), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable <repoid> 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64 Gracias de antemano.

Detecting empty office doc containing virus macro
by Gary Stainburn 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

We are receiving LOTS of emails that contain empty XLS or DOC documents with embedded virus macros. These are getting past SPAMASSASSIN, Clamav and Kaspersky. I'm trying to write a filter for EXIM to block these emails but I need to know a good, quick, command-line to detect an empty doc with a macro. Is there anything available that I can use?? I have managed to write a PERL script to detect empty xls xlsx, doc and docx files but I cannot detect whether they have any macros embedded Gary

Semi-OT: fail2ban issue
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

On a CentOS 6.7 system that's been running fail2ban for a long time, we recently started seeing this: ct 28 19:00:59 <servername> fail2ban.action[17561]: ERROR iptables -w -D INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j f2b-SSH#012iptables -w -F f2b-SSH#012iptables -w -X f2b-SSH -- stderr: "iptables v1.4.7: option `-w' requires an argument\nTry `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.\niptables v1.4.7: option `-w' requires an argument\nTry `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.\niptables v1.4.7: option `-w' requires an argument\nTry `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.\n" My manager thinks it might have been due to the recent update. I, however, am extremely confused, as in neither in the manpage, nore fail2ban --help, do I find *ANY* reference to a -w flag. Anyone have a clue here? mark

RPM `requires` installation order
by Shyam S 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hello All, I'm a bit of newbie with rpm/yum, seeking the help from rpm/yum experts. Suppose I have an RPM package A which depends on package B. RPM A's spec has 'Requires:B' tag with 'autoprov' and 'autoreq' enabled. When I install RPM A on a 'centos 6.5' machine with 'RPM version 4.8.0', using the command `yum install A` : * `rpm` installs A first, then it installs B. * The installation of B could partially fail. That is, A would installed even if the installation of the dependency, B has failed. Is this the expected behaviour? (Shouldn't B be installed before A?) Can the same behaviour be expected across versions (such as el5)? I was hoping that the dependencies would be installed before the main package is installed. Which would prevent the installation of the main package, If one of the dependencies failed to install. I have tried `PreReq` tag as well, which has same behaviour as far as I can tell. Is there any other means to accomplish my requirement? Thanks, Shyam
