problems creating read-only, 'consumer' dirsrv replica
by Jon Detert 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hello, I am trying to deploy an additional read-only replica (aka. 'consumer') in a single-master dirsrv environment. The master, and the other pre-existing consumer servers, are all 'fedora-ds' running on Fedora 7. I'm trying to add a consumer running on Centos 5.5. Ultimately, I intend to replace the Fedora ds servers with Centos dirsrv servers. I'm trying to deploy the Centos dirsrv consumer without running the dirsrv-admin. I've been following the directions at http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.1/html/Adminis… , specifically in chapter 8. When I get to "8.7.2. Configuring Consumers from the Command Line" ( http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.1/html/Adminis… ), I run into problems: 1) ldapmodify complains that I'm missing the required attribute 'nsds5replicaId'. So I add it, and guess at the replicaID number (cuz the guide says nothing about the ID). 2) even after resolving issue 1) above, I get an error: "ldap_add: No such object" The return value of the ldapmodify command is 32. The changetype of the operation is 'add', so ldapmodify knows it's trying to add an object. The input I pass to ldapmodify is just like shown in the guide, but w. the addition of the nsds5replicaId attribute mentioned in issue 1) above: dn: cn=replica,cn="dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config changetype: add objectclass: top objectclass: nsds5replica objectclass: extensibleObject cn: replica nsds5replicaroot: dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com nsds5replicatype: 2 nsDS5ReplicaId: 65535 nsds5ReplicaBindDN: uid=RManager,cn=config nsds5flags: 0 Any idea what's wrong? Do I have to first create dn: cn="dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config ? If so, how? The guide doesn't seem to have a step for that, except for when adding a 'hub' dirsrv. However, I mean to add a 'consumer', not a 'hub'. Thanks, Jon

install specific version using yum

There is a great write up in the section "tips and tricks" on the mumble website for installing it on CentOS google knows about it it involves using the static build from sourceforge and extracting the conf and init files from the mandriva rpm then adding the necessary group and user works a treat and "free-er" than teamspeak 3 mike

Swap space for kvm virtual host
by Nataraj 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

I have a kvm virtual host running on what will become CentOS 6 with 12GB of memory and a Quad Xeon X5560 2.8Ghz . The store for virtual machines will be a software raid 6 array of 6 disks with an LVM layered on top. I'm not initially planning any major overcommitment of resources, though there could be a need for some overcommitment with a light workload on the guests. In recent years people seem to configure a wide range of different swap allocations. I was thinking initially to spread swap across seperate non-raid partitions on 4 of these disks, but the downside of that is if I put 2gb on each disk, then I can only swap processes that will fit in 2gb swap space. Also, if one of the disks fails, I have to reboot if anything was swapped to that drive. My questions are as follows: 1. What experience are others having with putting swap space on raid partitions? I was thinking about maybe swapping on a raid10 device, otherwise an LVM spanning multiple drives. 2. In practice, what kinds of swap allocation are people finding useful for a kvm virtual host of this size? I definitely don't want a system that is so overcommited that performance is impacted, but if some overcommitment is reasonable for VM's that have light workload, then I consider that. I can increase system resources when that becomes necessary. Nataraj

Web server becoming unresponsive : high load
by robert mena 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Hi, I have a web server which is randomly becoming unresponsive. I've checked for hardware problems with no luck : - no ethernet errors - no disk errors - no memory errors So far I've managed to point the trouble at the web server since if I restart httpd (apache) it comes back to normal. This is not a shared server so I control (or at least like to think of) what is hosted so I have two suspects: a) my own code is behaving strangely. For example, a php script that in a given situation/parameters increases the usage. b) some sort of attack. Either in conjunction to a or other vulnerability. I am looking for advices in how can I pin point since looking at every line of code would be infeasible. Centos 5.5 / apache / php 5.2.10

CentOS 5.5 php configure errors
by Ron Young 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

I am attempting to install odbtp on my newly created lamp server running CentOS 5.5 and php 5.2.17. The odbtp compile failed looking for lots of zend related files supposedly in the php install dir. I learned from the odbtp project forum that I need to run configure in the php source directory. So I downloaded the php 5.2.17 source and ran ./configure and got these results: root@myserver php-5.2.17]# ./configure ... checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes checking libxml2 install dir... no checking for xml2-config path... configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.

wich filesystem to store > 250E6 small files in same or hashed dire
by Alain Spineux 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hi I need to store about 250.000.000 files. Files are less than 4k. On a ext4 (fedora 14) the system crawl at 10.000.000 in the same directory. I tried to create hash directories, two level of 4096 dir = 16.000.000 but I had to stop the script to create these dir after hours and "rm -rf" would have taken days ! mkfs was my friend I tried two levels, first of 4096 dir, second of 64 dir. The creation of the hash dir took "only" few minutes, but copying 10000 files make my HD scream for 120s ! I take only 10s when working in the same directory. The filenames are all 27 chars and the first chars can be used to hash the files. My question is : Which filesystem and how to store these files ?

FTP accounts
by Huib Laurens 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hello, I have setup a centos server running 5.5 and I have a problem with the FTP settings. Currently I have two FTP accounts based on that server, they lead to: /home/bella /home/carmen Currently the FPT accounts starts in the home directory when they are logged in. But they are able to see all directories on the server. What can I do to make sure they cant come out of there home directory? -- Regards, Huib "Abigor" Laurens Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate
