PHP upgrade from 4.3.9 to 4.4.2 or 5.x
by Nigel kendrick 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Sorry - noob-ish question.. I have been having problems on a CentOS 4.2 server following an upgrade to the latest version of SugarCRM (segfaults in Apache and some functions not working). Someone has just posted in the SugarCRM forums that they had exactly the same problems on CentOS 4.2 and they fixed them by upgrading from PHP 4.3.9 to 5.0.5. Being a more cautious chap, I'd like to try an upgrade to PHP 4.4.2 first but want to make sure I'm not entering a minefield with PHP as I can't find a friendly yum update so I would appreciate a heads-up on how best to go about it without screwing the whole thing up - I am reading through the notes on the PHP web site but would appreciate it if someone would outline exactly what rpms or binaries I need to install and/or compile. Assuming 4.4.2 doesn't fix things I will have to go for 5.0.5 so any advice on this would be appreciated as the last thing I want to do is lose use of SugarCRM completely! Thanks in advance.

RAID1: Changing / partition from 2 to 4 active devices
by Ugo Bellavance 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hi, I have 4 disks and I want to have my swap, / (root), /boot on the 4 disks, RAID1. I successfully managed to get /boot and swap on the 4 disks, but I can't get / on the 4 disks. It is only on 2 right now. I cannot umount /, so how do I do that? Boot in rescue mode? RAID 5 is not an option for now. -- Ugo -> Please don't send a copy of your reply by e-mail.

RE: [CentOS] [Offtopic] tinydns -some help needed

> Sorry - I once was sold on the idea of djb's tools and Qmail, and I've > regretted installing it ever since. Save yourself some serious agony - run > (don't walk!) away from djb-ANYTHING! I don't know what problems you had with it, but I'm hapilly using it on about 20 servers (both djbdns and qmail) and never had a problem with it. I'll remember your advice when I'll encounter my first problem, though I may just as well read the docs again when that happens... :) --- I second the djb comment, the guy is an arrogant prick; if something doesn't compile on your server he thinks its your fault. (i.e. back when he was linking all of his software to the wrong error.h and you had to mod it to get it to compile). Not only is it not written that well; but qmail for example. You have to install another piece of software to control relay, and it is totally non intuitive in any way. As far as tinydns the idea of having to install a "control daemon" to run his software is kind of ridiculous to me. Bind really couldn't be any easier to use, and it works every time. -Drew

Interesting problem
by William Warren 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

A friend's machine just had his / partition goto zero percent free. This is an ext3 partition. Not an hour ago he had over 5 gigs free on an 8 gig partition. Any ideas where to look? The logs don't show anything unusual. -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

RE: [CentOS] Apache 2.x and php???

I think that book is out to lunch! -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of rado Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 12:34 PM To: centos Subject: [CentOS] Apache 2.x and php??? hi! It seems like everytime I turn around lately, I'm opening up another can of worms and I sure don't like what I just read. this book: Setting Up Lamp (Getting Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP Working Together) Sybex/Wiley ISBN 0-7821-4337-7 Page 197 to quote "Which Version of Apache to Use": Choosing your Apache version is something that should be taken from the correct perspective. Apache 1.3 is proven to be stable and, most importantly, compatible with PHP. Apache 2.0 is stable; however, there have been multiple problems with PHP compatibility. Making Apache 2.0 and PHP work together is as predictable as flipping a coin. You will never know for sure whether the configuration will work properly and you might be faced with in-depth troubleshooting and problem solving trying to find out why they will not cooperate. >From our standpoint, we really hope that Apache 2.0 and PHP cooperate sooner rather than later because the features of Apache 2.0 look very promising. For this book, we will be going with the tried and true concept and use the Apache 1.3 series to avoid any heartache you might have due to different configurations and luck of the draw. ....end of quote... wow...this book is copyrighted(2004) if that makes any difference. I sure don't like the idea of going backwards w/Apache, since, although I don't use php but w/standard xhtml/css it has shown me no problems at all and I just don't like to even think in terms of doing what they suggest. But I want to hear from y'all on this. Do y'all find that these problems between Apache 2.0 and PHP are really that prominent as they have stated? Or, maybe I am wishful thinking here but I am hoping that some will reply that they have no problems whatsoever using the 2 together...instead...just go to this website and there is a good tutorial on this subject. lol thx in advance, John Rose _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

re: vsftp vs shell logins
by techlist06 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hi guys: Thanks for the input and helpful suggestions. I prefer the solution that allows a FTP login without a shell. A couple of you suggested I use something like /sbin/nologin and then FTP would work, but no shell would be allowed Actually, that is the first thing I tried, as nologin is my default shell when I add users. I have to add /bin/bash to get vsftpd to accept the conection. So I checked /etc/shells and /sbin/nologin is there. Apparantly that won't work. I have other services/users I might want to use with shells from time to time so I want the defalut to be "no shell unless I say so", not "get a shell unless I say no". Preferably controlled at teh password file. So, I tried Alin Osan's suggstion of modifying the pam file, and that *did* work. Thank you very much Alin. Much appreciated. Scott

disable media check on custom cd [dnk]
by lists 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

On a previous thread I was working on a custom install disk that would boot directly into a vnc install - well I have the disk working exactly as I need it EXCEPT for 1 thing... the option to do a media check pops up... however as per my original email - there will be no keyboard/mouse/monitor attached during install... so I can not press the "skip" option. Now to get the VNC install to work, I am using boot options.... I was reading up on it, and there is a "mediacheck" boot option - however my understanding is that if added to the boot options it forces a media check to happen. There seems to be no option to specify "no" to the media check. Does anyone know of a way to disable the media check? This way it ensures that the cd boots direct into a vnc install with absolutely zero keyboard interaction. Thanks in advance. Dustin

02 Feb '06

Hi, im new to the list, so bear with me if this was discussed earlier! For historical issues we need to maintain usernames in all capitals ie. CD our test environment is running centos 3.4 - our live environment is on redhat 8.0 the useradd program won't allow me to create a new user with capitals, and usermod wont change a lower case user name to upper case! What is my options now ? - do i have to hack the package or is there a known work around ? tia Claus Derlien Frie Funktionærer - faglig organisation og tværfaglig a-kasse - www.f-f.dk *************************************************************************************************************************************** Denne email og alle filer vedlagt som bilag kan indeholde fortroligt materiale, der kun er beregnet for adressaten, og maa ikke udleveres eller kopieres til uvedkommende.

ruby
by Craig White 02 Feb '06

Perhaps this message is only to Jim Perrin... Not that I've specifically have had any issues that I can point to... almost at the top of http://www.rubyonrails.org/down We recommend Ruby 1.8.4 for use with Rails. Ruby 1.8.2 is fine too, but version 1.8.3 is not. Myself, I have sort of backed off on the rails development for the moment and am becoming intimately lost in ruby itself and am presently working on my Fedora Core - 4 system which has ruby-1.8.4 but I am going to get back rails development on the CentOS system when I have begun to fill in the cavernous gaps of knowledge that are holding me back.
