phpMyAdmin login problems
by rado 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hi! running 4.2 and the latest stable phpMyAdmin 2.8.0.1 of course all the lamp stuff is running. Alexander Dalloz helped me a good bit on the installation which I am truly gratefull. And then I brought it to a point where I can log on from local as any user and give it the anon's password and phpmyadmin will come up w/of course no privileges. I can log on as root from local w/the password and it will come up as root should w/all privileges. coming in from the web is a different story: if one tries to log on from the web to the following url and msg: The URL is this: http://rivers-bend.com/phpmyadmin/index.php The Browser page shows this: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/index.php on this server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at rivers-bend.com Port 80 ok this is 1 of 3 problems I can't seem to get a handle on. 2.Well, ...trying to go by the book...I have anon users all to the same password and root having it's own. I am having trouble having a user w/his own password to have special privileges, i.e. to have control over his own database. I have even tried to set it up in phpmyadmin as root through privileges but no dice. this same user can log on w/his user name and the anon password tho. 3rd and last problem: mysql: mind you I am still trying to get the passwords staight and I know next to nothing about mysql yet. but there is reference to "host" and in the mysql.user file ...well, you know how everything is spelled out in localhost and then in "host" in my case it's rbmain1.rivers-bend.com. What I am concerned about is that I run 2 servers mirroring each other and really makes no difference who's got the ball. the other server is rbmain2 but I am hoping this will take care of itself down the line. whew! I'm sorry for all this. geez thx y'all John Rose

Why does CentOS 3.X still use yum 2.0.8?
by Greg Bailey 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

I understand that the CentOS packages track the upstream vendor's packages as closely as possible. In the case of yum, which as far as I'm aware is added by the CentOS team, I'm curious why it isn't upgraded to a newer version that uses the repomd format. "yum" operations on CentOS 4 seem to be significantly faster than those on CentOS 3. I recall a yum upgrade happening between CentOS 4.1 and 4.2, and I'm wondering if such an upgrade could happen on CentOS 3 as well... Thanks, Greg

NTP
by Sam Drinkard 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

I'm having a bit of trouble with the ntpd on my server. When I login and execute either ntpd or ntpq, and enter either a dmpeers or peers, it returns a message "Name or service not known". It has the same ntp configuration as the x86_64 machine here at home, which works as advertized. The daemon is running and I've even done a restart to make sure it's reading in the peers. Is there something I'm missing somehow that I get the no service or name error? FWIW, you can enter a host or peer, such as time.nist.gov or ntp1.twc.weather.com but after doing that, and then issuing the dmpeers command, it returns for hosts LOCAL(0) 127.0.0.1 and *HOPF_S(0) 127.0.0.1 both with all the offsets, delay, poll, etc... Suggestions? Sam

USB key problems on enterprise systems
by Collins Richey 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Just came up with some interesting (read: frustrating) problems on RHEL3 and RHEL4 today at work, and I've confirmed one of the problems on my up-to-date CentOS4 system at home. I was forced into releasing some RHEL3 systems to replace our aging RH9 systems without time for adequate testing, and that leads to problems like these. On our legacy RH9 systems, mounting a USB key is no problem, but I can't get it to work on either RHEL3-U6 or RHEL4-U2 (= CentOS4). I'm curious if any CentOS3 or CentOS4 users have any suggestions. Here are the results from plugging in a USB Key and trying to mount it: 1. On RHEL3-U6, some systems get the following, and there is a workaround: Message: USB device not accepting new address Workaround: /sbin/modprobe -r ehci-hcd Message: READ CAPACITY failed ... Unable to read partition table Workareound: none that I am aware of. The above workaround has no effect. 3. RHEL4-U2 and CentOS4 get the following: No possibility to mount. As soon as you plug in the USB key, the system goes into a SCSI error loop until you unplug it. I've googled extensively for an answer, found a few hits for the RHEL3 problem, but no useful solutions. The RHEL4 problem is apparrently a 2.6 kernel bug. Doe anyone know of a packaged kernel solution for this? I'm using the CentOS unsupported kernel at home, but same problem as in the stock RHEL4 kernel. Have RH possibly fixed this in the U3 beta? In case you're wondering about the key(s), the mount works flawlessly including KDE automounting the key on my Kubuntu Dapper development system with kernel 2.6.15-16-386 #1 PREEMPT.

I'm trying with soon-to-be fc5 source rpm and it wants to convice me it doesn't know about libX11, but it is there: #rpmbuild -bb python.spec [snip] gcc -pthread -shared Modules/linuxaudiodev.o -o Modules/linuxaudiodev.so gcc -pthread -shared Modules/timingmodule.o -o Modules/timingmodule.so gcc -pthread -shared Modules/_tkinter.o Modules/tkappinit.o -ltix -ltk -ltcl -lX11 -o Modules/_tkinter.so /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status but: # ldconfig -v |grep X11 ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib: libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2 /usr/X11R6/lib64: libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2 and: # locate libX11 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2 /usr/X11R6/lib64/libX11.a /usr/X11R6/lib64/libX11.so /usr/X11R6/lib64/libX11.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib64/libX11.so.6.2 I'm without ideas what's going on here.

Bad repo file
by Lorin B Pino 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

I have yum working with dags and dries, etc, but I have done something to the main repo file that causes yum to error. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this file? CentOS-Base.repo # # This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS. # The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the # update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and # geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates # unless you are manually picking other mirrors. # # If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the # remarked out baseurl= line instead. # # [base] name=CentOS-4 - Base #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 #released updates [update] name=CentOS-4 - Updates #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 #packages used/produced in the build but not released [addons] name=CentOS-4 - Addons #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=addons baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/addons/i386/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 #additional packages that may be useful [extras] name=CentOS-4 - Extras #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=extras baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/extras/i386/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 #additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-4 - Plus #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/i386/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 #contrib - packages by Centos Users [contrib] name=CentOS-4 - Contrib #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=contrib baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.2/contrib/i386/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 By the way, I have just subscribed to this list, and already see that it has it's share of complainers. I have only used CentOS for a few weeks, but I am enjoying the experience. I tried FC4, but yum would hang each time I tried it, so it has been good to have things work. Good work on this distro! For whatever that is worth from a newbie. TIA ~Lorin

kannel from dag - sqlite conflict with centos 4.2
by Tony 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

I have a CentOS 4.1 box running Dag's Wieers kannel 1.4.0-3.2.el4.rf package which has a dependency on sqlite version 2.8.16-1.2.el4.rf also from Dag. If I try to up2date to centos 4.2 I'm hitting a conflict whereby 4.2 wants to install sqlite 3.2.2 - but kannel doesn't like that, reporting: Unresolvable chain of dependencies: kannel 1.4.0-3.2.el4.rf requires libsqlite.so.0 The new 3.2.2 version only provides libsqlite3.so.0. Anyone else seen this, or have any recommendations as to how I can have 4.2with kannel still installed? -- Cheers, Tony

libtiff-3.6.1-8 and HylaFAX 4.2.5
by Chin 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hi, I am currently replacing my old Hylafax server to a new hardware with CentOS 4.2 (x86_64). Since CentOS 4.2 (and probably RHEL4) is shipping with libtiff-3.6.1-8, I'm wondering if this version of libtiff has the patch mentioned in the hylafax bugzilla http://bugs.hylafax.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=500 and/or is it compatible with the latest Hylafax 4.2.5 (i read libtiff-3.6.1 is mentioned in the release notes as having a fatal flaw). It will be against the main purpose of using an enterprise linux if I am to update this library myself. There are binary packages for RHEL3/4, not sure whether they are compiled with libtiff-3.6.1-8 too. I can run 'rpm --test ...' on my new machine with the Fedora Core 3 (x86_64) but I haven't decided whether to go ahead or not. Thank you. --------------------------------- Meet your soulmate! Yahoo!

Bad repo file (solved)
by Lorin B Pino 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

I hit the delete button too quick, and don't know who to thank. I ended up deleting the file title and description (that were all commented out), and yum now uses it. Thanks ~Lorin
