Updating/Backing Up Server
by Matt 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

I am slowly migrating the data etc off an old CentOS32 4.x server to a new CentOS64 5.x server. The old server only has 15Gbyte of its hard drive in use. Is there an easy/safe way to copy the entire contents of old server root directory to a directory on the new server for future reference? Most of the data is various test files, perl scripts, etc. scattered all over.

mod_rails under Apache under Ceontos 6
by Boris Epstein 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hello listmates, For some reason we don't seem to be able to launch a Ruby-on-rails application ( http://www.redmine.org/ ) on a CentOS 6 machine under Apache. Nor can I find a mod_rails as a separate package for it. Would anyone have any idea what we might be doing wrong? Thanks. Boris.

CentOS 6.2 Autofs stopped working
by Reed, Ed 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Seems that autofs in 6.2 stopped working like it used to. We use NIS and automount maps. Primary map auto.sf ssdt -fstype=autofs,rw auto_ssdt auto.ssdt map scratch -fstype=nfs,hard,intr gold:/vol/ssdt/scratch So finding a path such as /sf/ssdt/scratch has always worked and continues to work on non CentOS 6.2 machines. This ability stopped with CentOS 6.2 CentOS 6.0 uses autofs-5.0.5-23.el6.x86_64.rpm CentOS 6.2 uses autofs-5.0.5-39.el6.x86_64.rpm The work around seems to be to remove autofs in CentOS 6.2 And do an rpm install of autofs from CentOS 6.0. I presume it is a flaw upstream. Anyone else observing this behavior? Ed

apache 2.2.22 on CentOS 5...
by John Doe 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hi, while the brand new apache 2.2.22 compiles fine on CentOS 6, it fails on CentOS 5 unless you tell him to use its internal apr lib...I saw in the 2.2.22 release notes: "This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.5 and APR Utility Library (APR-util) version 1.4.2, bundled with the tar and zip distributions. The APR libraries libapr and libaprutil (and on Win32, libapriconv version 1.2.1) must all be updated to ensure binary compatibility and address many known security and platform bugs. APR-util version 1.4 represents a minor version upgrade from earlier httpd source distributions, which previously included version 1.3." On CentOS 6, we have apr 1.3.9 On CentOS 5, apr 1.2.7 Anyone knows if it will be backported to the packaged apr...? Thx, JD

My own cron jobs will be run latest 1 am What daily cron job destroys the selinux permissions? -- Viele Grüße Helmut Drodofsky Internet XS Service GmbH Heßbrühlstraße 15 70565 Stuttgart Geschäftsführung Dr.-Ing.

GUI login issues over NFS
by Weiner, Michael 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

I am at my wits end, googling, trying various things, and nothing seems to really solve my problem, so I thought I would break down and write to the community to see if anyone else has run into the issue and actually solved it. My environment of interest contains a mix of various Fedora and CentOS workstations that all participate in NIS for user authentication which then, upon a successful login, automount an NFS $HOME directory. And here is the rub, I am migrating that NFS back end FROM a Sun X4540 (which has been working flawlessly for the past few years) to an HP X9320 Ibrix system. I replicated my NFS exports from one system to the other, and have tested command line logins over SSH using NIS credentials and that all seems to work quite well. However, whenever a CentOS (or even Fedora for that matter) desktop user tries to log in (either Gnome or KDE) they are unable to successfully log in - and are presented with the nebulous .dmrc error as follows: User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writeable by any other users. Followed promptly by Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem. Now I have, of course, checked the permissions and ownership of the $HOME directory and also the .dmrc file and they are correct - but no matter what I do, this fails. Things I have tried: with NIS turned on, without NIS turned on, using automount, without using automount, using all different kinds of NFS options passed to a local mount of the /ibrix/testing area which I am using to test GUI logins from the local workstation under Gnome or KDE - all to no avail. And of course I have spent countless hours/days googling and have even written to HP for some advice. I am pretty confident that perms/ownerships are correct, but I just cant seem to get anything to work. Has anyone run into a similar problem? Has anyone found a solution? Does anyone have any suggestions that I am not thinking about?

How does a linux DHCP machine inform DNS of its name and obtained address
by Jerry Geis 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

I am using a number of DHCP devices on a network. Working fine with CentOS 5 x86_64. My question is now how do I tell the DNS (after I get my DHCP address) about my devices name and IP address so that others can find me by my machine name? I thought that was an automatic thing - but it appears not. Thanks, Jerry
