Subject: How to Migrate Wordpress Website from 32-bit CentOS Linux 6.3 to 64-bit CentOS Linux 8.2 (2004) Author of this Guide: Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming (TARGETED INDIVIDUAL) Country: Singapore Date: 31 August 2020 Monday Singapore Time Type of Publication: Plain Text Document Version: 20200831.01 SECTION 1 Information Gathering Stage ===================================== Host operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Host Processor: Intel Xeon CPU E5620 @ 2.40 GHz Host Memory: 24 GB RAM Old Oracle VirtualBox version is 4.1.18 Upgrade to Virtualbox version 6.1.12 (COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY AFTER RESTARTING WINDOWS SERVER) Old CentOS Linux VM is version 6.3 (32-bit only) Old Apache web server version 2.2.15 Old MySQL database server version 5.1.61 Old PHP version 5.6.40 Interface eth0: AAA.BBB.CCC.3/24 (ifconfig) Gateway: AAA.BBB.CCC.2 (ip route) (Gateway is the next hop router which is also the Fortigate firewall) /etc/resolv.conf (for DNS Client): nameserver AAA.BBB.CCC.1 (This is the Windows Server with DNS Server role installed) How to login to OLD MySQL database server: mysql -u root -p Old hostname: centos63.teo-en-ming-corp.com Old Virtual Machine Settings ============================ 4 GB RAM, 2 processors, 20 GB storage, network adapter: bridged to broadcom bcm5709c NEW Virtual Machine Settings ============================ 4 GB RAM, 4 processors, 100 GB storage, network adapter: bridged to broadcom bcm5709c After using Advanced IP scanner and checking DHCP scope in Microsoft DHCP server in Windows Server, Unused IP address: AAA.BBB.CCC.4 (Use this IP address for new CentOS 8.2 Linux VM) SECTION 2 Installation of NEW CentOS 8.2 Linux Virtual Machine ============================================================== New Hostname: centos82.teo-en-ming-corp.com NEW IP: AAA.BBB.CCC.4 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (Class C) Gateway: AAA.BBB.CCC.2 DNS1: 8.8.8.8 Problem ======= CentOS 8.2 Linux 64-bit will not start and run because VirtualBox is too old (version 4.1.18). Intel Virtualization and VT-d already enabled in server BIOS previously. So running 64-bit virtual machines is not an issue. Solution ======== After upgrading to VirtualBox 6.1.12, CentOS 8.2 Linux 64-bit is able to start and run. SECTION 3 Generate a Backup of ALL Databases in the Old VM =========================================================== Reference Guide: How to backup and restore MySQL databases using the mysqldump command Link: https://www.sqlshack.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-mysql-databases-using-th… Reference Guide: How to Show Users in MySQL using Linux Link: https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/mysql-show-users/ # cd /root # mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > all-databases-20200829.sql # du -h all-databases-20200829.sql 70M all-databases-20200829.sql SECTION 4 Disable SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) =================================================== You MUST disable SELinux, otherwise Apache web server will not work. If you DO NOT want to disable SELinux, you must be an expert in SELinux to configure SELinux. # nano /etc/selinux/config SELINUX=disabled # reboot SECTION 5 Disable firewalld Software Firewall ============================================= Because already protected by Fortigate firewall at the perimeter. # systemctl disable firewalld # reboot SECTION 6 LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) Installation ========================================================== I will be installing Apache web server 2.4.37-21, MariaDB server 3:10.3.17-1, PHP 7.2.24-1 and OpenSSL 1:1.1.1c-15 in 64-bit CentOS Linux 8.2 (2004).

OPENVPN setup in CentOS-6 NetworkManager
by Janos G. Komaromi 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi, I need some help. I have CentOS-6 installed on an older 32bit desktop. The command su -c "openvpn --config foo.ovpn" works well, but would like to do it from NetworkManager. (1) If I try to import foo.ovpn then the certificate file references are not populated. If I try to select files extracted from foo.ovpn then the Private key file cannot be selected and therefore setup is aborted. (2) If I create a .conf file with appropriate entries then NetworkManager imports it fully, including the .pem key file. However, connection is timed out, connection fails. I researched Internet, RFM, permissions, SElinux, messages, etc. to no avail, so I request support. Do I miss a component? Where can I examine the NetworkManager log? Why the .pem key file is not selectable? I try this mailing list first - and thank you. Janos -- Janos G. Komaromi sent it NOT from iPhone nor Google facebook, instagram, viber, snapchat, twitter, #@*~| etc. - neither of those https://jgklinux.jankom.net/
