is udev necessary?
by Rudi Ahlers 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hi all I recently setup a CentOS 5.2 server, running XEN (using HyperVM), and then moved the hard drive from my test box to my Intel server.The problem I now have, is that it doesn't bootup properly. Shortly after I see the udev service started, the machine reboots. This keeps on going the whole time. I have managed to kill udev on start-up (with CTRL + C), and then it boots up. So, do I need udev? And what is it's purpose? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

OT - Automated rpm builds
by Tom Brown 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hi Currently devs check code into perforce and we have to checkout > package > update repo > deploy I know this could be scripted but are there any tools out there that can take code from a repository and build rpm's in a continuous integration type manner? I have been hunting around for such a tool and so far not seeing anything obvious as i dont want to reinvent the wheel if at all possible. thanks

nspluginwrapper included in CentOS 5.2 fails completely
by MHR 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I run CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on my workstation at home. Since 5.2 came out with nepluginwrapper bundled into it, none of my plugins work. I thought it was just a problem with the flash plugin, but neither the mplayerplug-in plugins nor the adobe acrobat reader plugin work, either. I have this problem both with the Seamonkey contributed 64-bit build and my own (otherwise perfectly working) native build of the 2.01a pre-release trunk build (which I have been using since January, with occasional updates, the most recent being about a week ago). I have not tried going back to the 32-bit release of Seamonkey, although I suppose that's next. I stopped using that when it kept crashing when I tried to save a web page after having visited some unknown threshold level of pages (i.e., it wouldn't do this on the first or second web page, but somewhere down the line, a threshold was crossed and it would crash fairly regularly). In discussions with the Mozilla folks, I concluded that the problem had something to do with running the 32-bit release on my 64-bit OS. Due to some peculiarity in the 1.x Mozilla build process, I was never able to build a 64-bit version of the 1.x releases, but I had no trouble running the L&G not-yet-released revision, with occasional glitches from the bugs that I ran into (and reported). But, back to the point: There are two major issues I have with the 5.2 bundled nspluginwrapper: 1) The nspluginwrapper program itself is gone, which makes it a little (lot) harder to manage and troubleshoot the problems. and, more importantly: 2) None of the 32-bit plugins that are supposed to be wrapped work. Period. Is this something I should report in bugzilla, at CentOS (and upstream)? I didn't see it in the bugs listed at CentOS.org. Thanks. mhr

can CentOS act as an iSCSI server?
by Rudi Ahlers 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hi all, I would like to know if I could share some space on on of my servers, to another server(s) using the iSCSI protocal? I can see that CentOS can connect to an iSCSI server, but can it act as a iSCSI server? Is so, does anyone have some good HOWTO / tutorials / docs on how to set it up? I'm running CentOS 5.2 -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

library strangeness

while doing a yum update today, I noticed a few errors being reported that seemed strange to me... /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 is not a symbolic link /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 is not a symbolic link # ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 13 18:38 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 733168 Jan 8 2007 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 804212 Oct 23 10:09 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 936908 May 26 15:16 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 # rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++-4.1.2-42.el5 # rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 libstdc++-4.1.2-42.el5 # ls -l /usr/lib/libxml2.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1533932 Sep 15 17:59 /usr/lib/libxml2.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 13 16:50 /usr/lib/libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.2.6.26 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1250176 Oct 23 10:09 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1250176 Sep 15 17:59 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.26 [root@srv-adv icons]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libxml2.so libxml2-devel-2.6.26-2.1.2.6 [root@srv-adv icons]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.26 libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.6 so my inclination is to remove the /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 and create a symlink to libstdc++.so.6.26 to replace it. Does this make sense? What about the libxml2.so which apparently is there because of the devel package? Is this a CentOS packaging issue ? Craig

Re: [CentOS] Video Card [SOLVED]
by Tom Browder 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

A recap of the problems for my configuration: Centos 5.2, x86_64, PNY 9600 GT 512 Mb video, Rosewill R913J 19" LCD monitor, Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mobo, Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 Gb RAM. Using the latest Nvidia x86_64 driver package (177.82) I could not get the 1280x1060 resolution (I could get nothing but 640x480). Additionally, while attempting various fixes, the monitor base color turned blue. Cure: 0. I set run level 3 in /etc/inittab and then executed 'telinit 3' to work from a text display. 1. I set the Rosewill in VGA (analog) mode--that is the only mode that will work with the Nvidia driver (discovered by trial and error). 2. I deleted the existing xorg.conf file (at /etc/X11). 3. I used nvidia-xconfig to write a new xorg.conf file. 4. I initially tested with startx, but that didn't work with my set up. I found that using "gdm" let me see a successful X server. 5. After a successful X start at the desired resolution, I then set run level 5 and executed 'telinit 5'. Weird monitor base color: 6. To reset the monitor base color back to normal I had to clear the BIOS CMOS memory and reload the BIOS defaults. Note that the Nvidia list of Linux-capable video cards at <http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html> (thanks to John Stanley) is the one to consult to ensure a card is usable under Linux. I have found no card manufacturers with any significant degree of tech support for Linux, so I cannot recommend one over the other (over the years I have tried cards from MSI, XFX, EVGA, PNY, and others, but it was always hit or miss--I usually looked at the READMEs with the Nvidia driver packages but that has proved to be unreliable for me--once more, thanks to John Stanley for pointing out the other list that I have always overlooked). I hope this helps others with weird video problems. -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA

SVN missing libexpat.so.0 while it is present
by Berend Dekens 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hello, Hopefully I am sending this to the correct mailing list but it seemed best suited for troubleshooting :-) I am trying to fix Subversion which isn't working for me on one of our machines: every attempt to run 'svn ls' or 'svn co' ends in: svnserve: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Which is strange as the symlink is present in /lib/libexpat.so.0 (which points to /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0) and /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 - I even tried copying an identical libexpat.so.0.5.0 from another machine.

I tried installing a custom Subversion 1.5.1 RPM which also fails the same way. Finally I installed all build tools and build the SRPM into a binary RPM and guess what? It also fails... I tried rebooting the server, running 'yum update' a couple of times and right now I'm out of ideas.... I am running CentOS 5.2 - 32-bit in a virtual machine (don't think the latter matters but right now I don't know where to look for the cause). Regards, Berend Dekens

Video Card
by Tom Browder 16 Nov '08

16 Nov '08

I want to be able to use a late-model video card with either Nvidia or ATI (AMD) chips that have the capability to use the GPU for numeric processing through the CUDA or AMD Stream SDKs. I can't find any good source for hardware that really works under Linux, not to speak of Centos. I need a specific model and brand that a user has successfully been able to use the proprietary driver for under Linux. I have tried EVGA Nvidia 9500 GT with no luck. I have also tried XFX 6300 XT (not CUDA-capable) and cannot make it work under Centos, either I am using Centos 5.2, x86_64 on a Gigabyte mobo with Intel Core 2 Duo. I appreciate any help, -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA

Lost icons and background on 5.2 desktop
by Dick Roth 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Somehow I did something that caused my gnome desktop to evaporate. The only thing that hasn't vanished is the task bar I have set up at the bottom of the screen. Which configuration files/directory may have become corrupt or gone? Any help would be appreciated.

Virtual NICs (aliases like eth0:1) won't come up after reboot
by Berend Dekens 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

With one problem down I still have another remaining. Since the installation of our primairy webserver we have had a problem with the network aliasses. Our server has 8 IP adresses so we used the tool provided in the GUI to specify (and name - for our own convinience) eth0 aliasses with the other 7 adresses. After setting them up, applying them, activating them and restarting 'networking' (I dare say this is a lot of button pushing just to enable one NIC) all is well and every program can use its preferred IP. However, after a reboot, all aliasses are disabled: they are present in the configuration but they are not activated. I feared I did something wrong so I removed all addresses, tried to find more clues in the docs and now I'm back where I started. How can I figure out what is wrong? I might add that I am not afraid of using a console (actually prefer it on linux servers) but I am new to CentOS so I tried to do everything by using the GUI - which in this case keeps failing... Regards, Berend Dekens

NTP problems
by Anne Wilson 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

My server is supposed to be using ntp, with nothing changed from the defaults set up by CentOS5. However, daily I see log entries like Total synchronizations 2 (hosts: 2) **Unmatched Entries** sendto(193.6.222.20) (fd=21): Invalid argument: 1 time(s) sendto(141.89.226.2) (fd=21): Invalid argument: 1 time(s) Does this mean that ntp is failing? I assume so, and if so, how do I change the sources to something that will work? Anne

External ext3 USB Hard drive and selinux
by Al Freundorfer 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

I was directed to post this on the mailing list. See the following forum post as a reference. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=16710&forum=42 I formatted my external ext3 372GB USB hard drive in ubuntu and now want to use it in Centos. I made sure that my group/user numbers were the same. I was not able to write to the mounted USB hard drive (HD). I suspected selinux and shut it of and I was able to copy the file! I set selinux back to enforce and rebooted. I like the security features of selinux. I tried: 1) chcon -v 2) restorecon -Rv /media/disk 3) cp -P and still am not able to write to the USB HD. The sad part is I can delete files from the USB HD. See forum post for details. I tried it in fedora 9 and it is able to write to the USB HD I tried an 32GB USB memory stick in Centos 5.2 and it worked! I am wondering why it doesn't work for my USB HD? The only difference is the the size. Your help would be much appreciated.

CentOS 5.2 on P5N64

Hi all... First of all, I'm new to this list. Thanks in advance for the help I surely will get here ;) I have installed a CentOS 5.2 64 bit on a computer, and I can't get it to boot. The box is a custom built computer, with this components: - ASUS P5N64 WS Pro motherboard (nForce 790i Ultra SLI) More details here: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=653&l4=0&model=2182&modelme… - Intel Core Quad Q9450 - GeForce GTX 260 - 2x2Gb of 1333 memory - SATA 500Gb hd and SATA DVD (sata ports 1 and 2). I booted with the DVD and installed the system fine, but when I try to boot from the HD, the boot process just stops after inird loading, the kernel doesn't even start. I also tried with the CentOS 5.2 live CD, but it stops claiming that can not find the boot disk ??? Has someone similar problems ? What could I try to boot ? TIA -- J.A.

FreeNX Shadowed Desktop issue
by James Blackburn 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hi All, I'm hoping someone will be able to offer some advice on desktop shadowing with the latest CentOS 4's FreeNX. I've installed the latest FreeNX RPMs as described on the wiki: [james@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep nx nxclient-3.2.0-9 freenx-0.7.3-1.el4.centos nx-3.2.0-8.el4.centos And I can NX in using two separate test user accounts. However when I try to enable shadowing I encounter two problems: 1) The shadow selection dialog doesn't show usernames (the column is simply blank). The result is that you need to know the display number in advance. 2) On choosing a display, I get an error connecting (and an authentication request is never shown on the display being shadowed). I can work around 2 by first doing 'xhost +' on the display which is about to be shadowed. But this isn't ideal... Any ideas / tips / pointers to more documentation appreciated! Cheers, James NXlog attached containing: 1 session created, followed by attempt to shadow from another user account.

Setting up eth0 with address 0.0.0.0
by Amos Shapira 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hello, I'm following instructions in http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.LVS-DR.html#route_on… to allow my xen guest real hosts to serve virtual IP's behind LVS without having to allocate real public IP addresses for each such xen guest. I have eth1 connected via a "back-end" switch to the eth1/xenbr1 of the xen host and the other physical servers, this is the interface that is used by LVS to switch packets over to the real servers. I managed to manually do: # ip route add to <default-router> dev eth0 # ip route add via <default-router> and before that, in order to allow outgoing packets to be sent via eth0, I did: # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up and it works great, but when I try to configure this permanently via ifcfg-eth0 it says: Bringing up interface eth0: connect: Invalid argument [ OK ] Things seem to work OK - the server can serve over the Virtual IP, eth0 doesn't have an IP associated with it etc. But I'm worried about this message. Some relevant config files: ifcfg-eth0: To setup the routes, I followed http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-st… and http://www.mail-archive.com/centos@centos.org/msg15253.html and put the following in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet IPADDR=0.0.0.0 NETMASK=0.0.0.0 route-eth0: to <router-address> dev eth0 via <router-address> output of "ifconfig eth0": eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:19:E6:97 inet6 addr: fe80::216:3eff:fe19:e697/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2012 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:250 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:174268 (170.1 KiB) TX bytes:47731 (46.6 KiB) So - did I do this correctly and what should I do to fix the error message?

kmod-xfs and weak-updates
by Tony Schreiner 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

I installed kmod-xfs-0.4-2 back with kernel-2.6.18-92.1.13. I have updated kernels but there have been no new kmod-xfs. It still works because of weak-updates (I guess). Currently: # find /lib/modules -name xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/extra/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.17.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.18.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko My question is: kernel 2.6.18-92.1.13 is now the oldest one present on my system and will be removed next update. Do I need to worry about that? Will it take the remaining kmod-xfs with it? Tony Schreiner

hi all, running centos 4.7 i686. I seem to have an o pen r elay sendmail server. How do I close it? I have the STRAIGHT centos install sendmail.mc file. Only thing I changed was: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl so as to allow incoming email and not just localhost. however this seems to relay everyone. I looked at http://www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying but it just talks about (AFIKT) enabling specific relays to occur - not how to CLOSE the relaying. How do I close the relay? Jerry

This won't get rid of any open relay problems but will at least fix the "example.com" issue: ... dnl # dnl # The following example makes mail from this host and any additional dnl # specified domains appear to be sent from mydomain.com dnl # MASQUERADE_AS(`davenjudy.org')dnl dnl # dnl # masquerade not just the headers, but the envelope as well dnl # dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl dnl # dnl # masquerade not just @mydomainalias.com, but @*.mydomainalias.com as well dnl # FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl dnl # dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(local.davenjudy.org)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(davenjudy.org)dnl As for possibly having an open relay, you also want to make sure that the following line is commented out (has dnl at the beginning): dnl # dnl FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX')dnl dnl # Finally, you'll need a line like: FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')dnl DO NOT uncomment any of the other lines in sendmail.mc regarding relay settings unless you know what you're doing. If you aren't sure what was changed from the default, remove the sendmail-cf rpm and reinstall it to get back to a clean, default sendmail.mc file. It's a good idea to explicitly run make in /etc/mail and then bounce sendmail rather than let the sendmail startup script decide something has changed since it's easier to catch syntax errors that way. Finally, get a free mail account at your provider of choice (Google, Hotmail, whoever) and use it for testing both sending and receiving mail. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Timeout for a script
by Jussi Hirvi 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

How could I make a script time out after nn minutes, if it's not finished by then? The practical context: I have a dozen or so of backup scripts in a directory "daily", and they are run by cron like this: > 0 23 * * 1-6 run-parts /root/daily Sometimes one of the scripts hang, in which case the rest of the scripts are delayed more than can be allowed. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot NOTICE: Due to the rising energy costs, as well as current market conditions, the Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Cluster Broken Pipe error and Heartbeat configuration
by lingu 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi, I am running two node active/passive cluster on RHEL3U8-64 bit operating system for my oracle database,both the nodes are connected to HP MSA-500 storage(scsi not Fibre channel) . Below are my hardware and clumanager version details. It was running fine and stable for last two years but all of a sudden for the past one month i am getting below errors on syslog and cluster restarting locally. Server Hardware: HP ProLiant DL580 G4 OS: RHEL3U8-64BIT INTEL EMT Kernel : 2.4.21-47.EL Storage : HP MSA-500 storage (scsci channel) Cluster Version: clumanager-1.2.26.1-1 redhat-config-cluster-1.0.7-1 NODE1 ip: 20.2.135.161 (network bonding configured) NODE2 ip: 20.2.135.162 (network bonding configured) VIP : 20.2.135.35 Syslog errors cluquorumd[1921]: <warning> Disk-TB: Detected I/O Hang! clulockd[1996]: <warning> Potential recursive lock #0 grant to member #1, PID1962 clulockd[1996]: <warning> Denied 20.1.135.162: Broken pipe clulockd[1996]: <err> select error: Broken pipe clulockd[1996]: <warning> Denied 20.1.135.162: Broken pipe clulockd[1996]: <err> select error: Broken pipe cluquorumd[1921]: <warning> Disk-TB: Detected I/O Hang! clulockd[1996]: <warning> Denied 20.1.135.161: Broken pipe clulockd[1996]: <err> select error: Broken pipe clusvcmgrd[2011]: <err> Unable to obtain cluster lock: Connection timed out cluquorumd[2100]: <err> VF: Abort: Invalid header in reply from member #0 cluquorumd[1934]: <err> __msg_send: Incomplete write to 13.

Fot the above heartbeat configuration i didnot found any suitable document for rhel. Can any one provide me the suitable link or guide me what are all the changes i have to made in my existing cluster.xml file for this private heartbeat configuration to work. Waiting for some one reply its urgent for me Regards, Lingu

Rsyncing UPdate repo yoyoing
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

It has been crazy this past week how a rsync on the update repo keeps downloading a number of openoffice.org rpms then deleting them. And the repodata directory seems to be messed up so that I have problems on some systems doing updates with it. My rsync script is: #!/bin/sh rsync -auv rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.2/updates/i386/ \ --delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.2/updates/i386 Oh, and today we have announcement of some Centos 5 updates, but nothing available yet.

iptables starts blocking outbound http traffic
by Neil Aggarwal 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hello: I have a machine running CentOS 5 x86_64. It is running apache httpd and tomcat. For some reason, after running for a few days, web requests stop responding. It happened again this morning.

rpmforge i386 and x86_64?
by Marcelo M. Garcia 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi Is it possible to have rpmforge for both architectures? Currently is only for 64bit, but I need some libraries 32bit (rrdtool) to install ganglia. But if I try to install rpmforge i386, I got the message: [root@kitten01 mgarcia]# rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file /etc/smart/channels/rpmforge.channel from install of rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf conflicts with file from package rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.rpmforge.txt from install of rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf conflicts with file from package rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf [root@kitten01 mgarcia]# Thanks Marcelo

Re: [CentOS] Running From Live DVD & Keeping Settings Between Boots
by Brent L. Bates 12 Nov '08

Scientific Linux is one of the groups I read, in addition to CentOS, and that is why I couldn't find the email in the CentOS group. Also instead of saving the email, I saved the link to the information, only one of hundreds saved. I didn't think to look in my SL list of links, only CentOS. Sorry for the confusion everyone. Akemi, thanks for the pointer/reminder.

Re: [CentOS] Running From Live DVD & Keeping Settings Between Boots
by Brent L. Bates 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

I remember someone saying one had to include some options on the boot command line for this to work. Nothing was automated for this to work. It took a little bit of work and that is why I saved the email or at least meant to save it. I was almost positive it was the CentOS list that I saw the post(s). I know it wasn't Fedora, because I don't read any groups for that. It wasn't Knoppix. It was definitely a LiveCD/DVD.

bonding theory question
by Mag Gam 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hello All, I am currently using bonding with 2 NICs (using mode 0). Its been working well, but I am trying to understand how it works (I am a total newbie). mode=0 (balance-rr) Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. So I have 2 NICs (1 NIC attached to switch A, 2nd NIC attached to switch B). I have 1 virtual interface. bon0. Suppose data is being pushed out, it will go with 1st NIC and when it gets overloaded it will use 2nd NIC. The bonding driver will be responsible for it. Similar to the push, the pull will be very similar. The data gets pulled and the bonding driver will assemble the packets together? Does this sound right? Sorry for a newbie question... TIA

Autodetecing RAID members upon boot... need to update initrd?
by Tim Nelson 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Hello fellow CentOS'ers- I've got a system running CentOS 5.0. The motherboard has two onboard SATA ports with two drives attached. I installed the system on a RAID1 setup. However, I'd like to add a hotspare disk to the array. Since there are no additional SATA ports, I've installed an additional controller. After partitioning, the additional drive was easily and successfully added to the existing array as a spare. However, the problem is when the system boots. The hotspare disk is never detected and added to the array. I believe it could be due to the driver for the addon card not being in the initrd? If I run 'fdisk -l', I see this: ---BEGIN--- Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 14 523 4096575 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 524 60801 484183035 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 14 523 4096575 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb3 524 60801 484183035 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/md2: 495.8 GB, 495803301888 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 121045728 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md2 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md1: 12.5 GB, 12584288256 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 3072336 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md1 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md0: 106 MB, 106823680 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 26080 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdc2 14 523 4096575 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdc3 524 60801 484183035 fd Linux raid autodetect ---END--- If my assumptions are correct, the onboard drives are detected first, then the arrays assembled, and after the system has passed control from the initrd to boot, THEN the addon controller is detected and hence the third drive (sdc).

I essentially need the sata_sil driver to be included in the initrd. All tips welcome. Thank you! Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105

Can expect do this?
by Fajar Priyanto 11 Nov '08

Hi all, I'm trying to scp some files from machine1 to machine2. But, I'm in an environment where PubKeyAuthentication is not allowed in ssh :( So, I'm confused how to automate it as cronjob. However, I read somewhere that we can write a little bash script that will utilize 'expect' to answer for the ssh password prompt? Can we do this? Any examples are great help. Thank you.

Sync of csgfs and current centos 4 updates
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Hi list, I've been trying to update my csgfs stuff to 4.7 this week but I notice that current csgfs is built against kernel-2.6.9-78.0.1 and is required as a dependence, right now current kernel is 2.6.9-78.0.5 it would be great if csgfs can be rebuilt or updated to this, so dependences works ok???

CentOS Live CD for System Rescue - How to get full root access to HD?
by Lanny Marcus 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Booting from the CentOS 5.2 Installation DVD (or the first Installation CD), one can type "linux rescue" and then "chroot /mnt/sysimage" and have full root access to the OS on the HD. For future reference, I would like to know what I did wrong, the past couple of days, when trying to use the CentOS 5.2 i386 Live CD, for rescue. From a terminal, "su -" did not seem to get me root access to the hard drive. What command should I have used, with the Live CD? The access I had was read only. (As it turns out, I could have fixed the problem, without the LiveCD, but I didn't know that, 3 days ago.... :-) ) TIA. Lanny

nagios command-plugins: unexpected token

Hi I just installed nagios et al[1] in my Centos-5.2 (x86). When I try to test the configuration file it fails[2] with the message "Unexpected token or statement(...)".

As I expected, changing the line in the GRUB boot menu, as the box was booting, did not survive a reboot. I edited the lines for the 3 Linux Kernels, in /boot/grub/grub.conf and that fixed that problem.... I knew I had to edit those files, and what MHR (Mark) explained to me tonight, and apparently a poster prior to him, made it *much* easier.

Running From Live DVD & Keeping Settings Between Boots
by Brent L. Bates 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Someone posted how to use a memory card (USB or another kind) to save settings between boots of a Live CD/DVD. I believe it was posted not too long ago and I thought I had kept the email, but now that I'm looking for the information, I can not find it. I've done some searching and I either get way too many hits or way too few, none of which are what I'm looking for. Does anyone remember that post and can forward that message to me?

Reinstalled Windows and GRUB - Cannot boot Linux - fstab and grub.conf errors?
by Lanny Marcus 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Background: This is a dual boot (Windows XP and CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) box. There were four (4) NTFS partitions. The C partition got full. I deleted the 4 NTFS partitions and did a clean install of Windows XP, into one (1) NTFS partition. I knew that I would need to install GRUB again and I did that, using the CentOS 5 Installation DVD. When I tried to boot into Linux, no joy. this is the GRUB error I got: Booting 'CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.17.el5)' root (hd0,2) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x8e Kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition Press any key to continue (same error, trying to boot the 2 older Linux Kernels) The CentOS 5 Installation DVD apparently is now damaged (Murphy's Law). I have available to me: (a) CentOS 5.2 i386 Live CD (I am running on that, as I write this email) (b) Knoppix Live Disk, V.5.1.1 (c) SystemRescueCD V.0.2.15 The partitions on my hard drive, as shown by QTParted on the Knoppix Live CD are now: 01 /dev/hda1 ntfs Active 02 /dev/hda2 ext3 (/boot) 03 /dev/hda3 unknown (CentOS LVM) My belief is that /hda3 is not mounted. If I click on the "Local Hard Drives" Icon under "disc" it only shows hda2 (the Linux /boot partition). How and where do I fix that? When I view /etc/fstab as centos user with the CentOS 5.2 Live CD, I see that the line I had to mount the NTFS data partition (E: when I had 4 NTFS partitions) showed it as /dev/hda6 Now, the only NTFS partition, C, is /dev/hda1. Viewing it as centos user, in gedit, it is read only. When I try to view it as root, it shows me a /etc/fstab file that apparently is created by the LiveCD and doesn't show the Windows partition. How do I edit the /etc/fstab file so I can change it from /hda6 to /hda1? Here's the file contents: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 /mnt/win ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0 TIA!

Where is the file that sets aliases?
by Anne Wilson 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

I was having a problem in a shell script that turned out to be cp being aliased to 'cp -i'. Not a showstopper, once you realise it, but it did beg the question as to where this file is. I was told to look in /etc/profile.d, but that doesn't seem to be the case on my CentOS box. I can list aliases, so I know the file exists, but where? Anne

Parallel/Shared/Distributed Filesystems
by Geoff Galitz 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

I'm looking at using GFS for parallel access to shared storage, most likely an iSCSI resource. It will most likely work just fine but I am curious if folks are using anything with fewer system requisites (e.g. installing and configuring the Cluster Suite). Specifically to our case, we have 50 nodes running in-house code (some in Java, some in C) which (among other things) receives JPGs, processes them and stores them for later viewing. We are looking to deploy this filesystem specifically for this JPG storage component. All nodes are running Centos 5.1 x86_64. -geoff Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Deutschland http://www.galitz.org

HA Storage Cookbook?
by Gordon McLellan 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Hello List, Can anyone recommend some sites regarding building high-availability storage networks using centos (or the upstream providers brand name)? I need to have approx 2-3 tb of storage available via iscsi and smb, but worry about having it all on a single server. Most of the HA articles I'm reading deal with application high availability, but not storage. Right now I have a centos 4.6 box serving up a mirrored pair of 1tb drives via iscsi and smb, but the poor machine comes apart when anyone tries to write a lot of data. I'm hopefully to have a little budget to upgrade in Q1 2009. Ideally I'd like to get two boxes with proper hardware raid and have them in a cluster. Any suggestions are appreciated, Gordon

Problem with widescreen display
by Marko Vojinovic 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

I have a dual boot CentOS 5.2 / FC4 machine, and recently I have bought a new widescreen tft monitor. I used to use a plain 4:3 crt, and after plugging the 16:9 tft naturally X needed reconfiguring. This was easy in FC4, and seemed as easy in CentOS, but with a wrong result. Basically, what I did was to run system-config-display to reconfigure for the new monitor and resolution. All goes well, but after X restarts, I see a strange picture: the resolution indeed goes to 1680x1050 as is supposed to, but is squeezed/shrinked/scaled horizontally to match a 4:3 aspect ratio, leaving two (unequal) black bands on the left and right side of the monitor. This is specific to 1680x1050 resolution, while lower ones display ok up to the fact that the virtual screen is usually bigger than the displayed part so scrolling is necessarry (and this is annoying, for I cannot see the panel and the top of the window simultaneously). The very same hardware and virtually same X configuration work perfectly ok on FC4, which suggests that this is not a hardware problem, nor an X problem. Further, as I see, FC4 has older version of virtually all software than CentOS. I have tried various acrobatics with xorg.conf, but nothing helped; read Xorg.0.log inside out and back, compared to FC4, and everything seems essentially identical. X seems to work as everything is ok, so is mplayer (even in fullscreen), but the black bands remain there and the whole desktop is scaled to 4:3. The monitor "autoadjust" button also doesn't help (although it works in general). I'm out of ideas where to look for the cause of this. If you wish, I can post xorg.conf and log files from both OSes, but they are mainly identical and I see nothing suspicious. Btw, this is on an nVidia GeForce 4 using the default nv driver. The vesa driver doesn't support widescreen resolutions, while nvidia binary driver crashes X completely on start (but this is a known motherboard problem common to FC4 as well). Is there some kernel setting or whatever that might "force" the graphics card to 4:3 aspect irrespective of X configuration? Some "filter" between what X tries to display and the actual signal to the monitor? What else can I try? Any advice appreciated! Best, :-) Marko

Appliance platform
by Ted Miller 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

I have a project that I need some hardware pointers for. I need to build some Centos "appliances" (dedicated boxes to do one thing only). Target cost is under $250/box. Need: OS: Centos 5 Hardware Cost: less than $250 USD USB: at least 2 (not including keyboard) Memory: at least 128K Storage: prefer flash (USB stick OK) Network: 10 Base T Want: Height: less than 4" (fit on a 3RU shelf) Width: less than 10" (slide keyboard beside CPU on rack shelf)\ Display: 80x25 (or better) LCD on front of case (comes that way or I mount it there) Network: 2 x 10 Base T Application (in case anyone cares): Move better-than-FM quality audio across a leased audio circuit with delay under 10 seconds. No Internet exposure. Obviously one box is required at each end, and the encoding box works much harder than the decoding box. Software to run will probably be Ices -> Icecast -> network -> mplayer. Will be using USB audio interfaces, probably something like the M-Audio Fast Track Pro. Because of the nature of the application, once it is booted up the only disk activity is occasional logging when there is a problem with the connection. Any advice, web links, battle scars, or advice gladly accepted. Ted Miller Indiana, USA

centralized logs server and also storing the logs on the local server
by ankush grover 09 Nov '08

09 Nov '08

Hi Friends, I am running most of my company's Linux Servers on Centos 4.x/5.x 32 and 64-bit. I am now trying to configure a centralized logging server where logs of all the linux servers will be stored and also I want to store all the logs on the local server aka means logs will be sent to the central log server but also will be stored on the local server. The reason for storing the logs locally is because we have offices in different cities and few more offices are coming up and it is good to store the logs locally so that when the connectivity b/w the offices break the logs does not get lost. There are lots of configuration available on internet which tells how to send the logs to the centralized log server but I did not find any configuration where logs can be stored locally as well as send to the centralized log. Moreover I am also looking for logs analyzer tool which can generate reports separately for each host for ex there are logs of 15 servers are stored on the server and this logs analyzer tool should generate reports separately for each host. Thanks & Regards Ankush

Tired of Fedora, shopping for a new OS. Upgrade from F8 ? CentOS kernel versions ?
by Linuxguy123 09 Nov '08

09 Nov '08

I've been a RH/Fedora guy since the RH8 days. When Fedora came along, I moved to it, but its been a bit painful beta testing software all the time. I ran Ubuntu for a while, but I found their package management to be difficult... I do a lot of technical work, development and loading and building special stuff. I much prefer RPMs over other methods of package distribution. Presently I'm miffed with the Fedora community. Back in July I blindly upgraded to F9 because I was in need of a few things that it shipped with. Little did I know it contained KDE4 or more precisely a rough, unfinished version of KDE4. I stuck with it, however, and upgraded to KDE4.1 and finally to KDE 4.1.2. About a month ago I received a new laptop. Being it was a new machine, I did a fresh install of F8 on it, thus dumping KDE4. While all has been well since then, I am watching the KDE4 release schedule and noting that I don't think KDE4 is going to be done, ie polished and ready to use until late spring, 2009. I've also noted the Fedora is going to abandon support for F8 before Christmas. As F9 contains a very bleeding edge version of KDE4, I am loathe to upgrade to it. Thus I am shopping for a new OS to solve this problem and the problem of continually being a beta tester if one is an up to date Fedora user. With Fedora it seems that one just gets a new installation working nicely when support for it is dropped and the cycle starts all over again. I'd like to get away from that. So... questions. a) I am running F8 right now. Most, but not all, of the package versions seem about the same as CentOS 5.2. Kernels are the notable exception to this rule. Could I forego F8 updates for a while, to leave CentOS catch up, and then add the CentOS repository to my repo list and "update" to the CentOS via yum ? b) One of the things I really need are up to date (bleeding edge) kernels. For example, F8 has 2.6.26 kernels, whereas CentOS appears to be running 2.6.18 kernels. I do know how to build my own kernels, but that is a pain. Does someone keep a separate repository that has more modern kernels ? Can yum be configured to use only specific packages (ie kernels) from a specific repository ? c) Is there any problem with using the livna repository for various things that I might need ? I notice that they don't have a CentOS specific repository, but would it be OK to point to F8 or so and use those RPMs ? Thanks I'm listening if you have any other comments or advice on my situation.

Agree 100%. I just want to mention that the OP, combined with your post, really opens a whole can of worms, when considered in the light of things such as what you mention and the assumption that the user base is growing. I thought it might be useful to the project to think about this. If not, just ignore this please. In projects I've seen in the past, the addressing of things such as _effective_ FAQs, proper indoctrination of new users (in ML, fora and chat rooms) into the _basics_ of the project are usually delayed until the swelling volume forces action to be taken just for sanity/survival of the "hittest". :-) Although these things weren't ignored, they are often considered, effectively, in isolation. Consideration or estimations of user-base constituency, user-base size, project growth, degree of confusion experienced by new users, ... often miss the mark. The folks who try to actively help get hit the hardest with repetitive questions. the most frequent symptom of the need for a re-examination. Often these don't make it into a FAQ or other standard frequently referenced place because of a lack of a FAQ coordinator or maintainer or a lack of effective support from the rest of the group in proposing new potential FAQ entries. Further, the new user often doesn't review the FAQ (or other resources) until someone gets really ticked and says something like "It's in the FAQ - GO READ IT". Some mild coercion when a user signs up for an ML, forum or chat room could help alleviate that situation. If the FAQ is well maintained, organized, supported by appropriate proposals, and somewhat forcefully introduced to new sign-ups, ML and fora support folks might see reduced repetition and could also use it, via a quick inclusion of a URL, to expeditiously answer some of the oft seen issues. However, this is an isolated stab at a larger problem, IMO. The number of informative articles on the wiki can be expected to continue to grow. There are also many links in the list archives that reference outside resources, such as blogs or other web sites, that answer many questions. This list has already entertained a thread that proposes some "consolidation" of activity in the fora and mailing lists. Unresolved, IIRC. The basic issue here is that in a project with a user base as diverse as CentOS (regardless of a strong skew of the profiles towards one or another group, like administrators or programmers, or ...), there are too many portals to obtaining information: Planet/People/.../FAQ/Forum/ML/homer page "Information" drop-down, ... Combined with search engines, all this conspires to overwhelm a new user, especially of the user is in a time-constrained environment where a quick resolution is needed. If my sense of the growing popularity is correct, I suggest that now is a good time to start a thorough discussion about the information infrastructure and ways of ... "encouraging" new users to use the infrastructure _and_ reduce the number of possible paths that exist to finding needed information. A combination of "single path" access to all these information resources, a new sign-up "introduction" to this path, a dedicated support team to keep the components current and a commitment of all those who participate to constantly propose (and generate/maintain where possible) these components should be considered. If something results from this thread, I volunteer to help as I can, although most of you realize that my skills are limited and dated. But I still can learn relatively quickly. It's just that I seem to fit the profile I read long ago: younger folks grasp, retain and more quickly recall details while older folks tend to grasp, integrate and apply concepts more quickly without being as nimble about the details of things. > > Akemi > <snip sig stuff> -- Bill

Perl Trouble
by Dirk H. Schulz 08 Nov '08

08 Nov '08

I am running several CentOS 5.2 servers with similar configuration. On all of them I received the following error when using a certain perl module: > Base class package "Class::Accessor::Fast" is empty. > (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package > first.) On most of the servers installing Class::Accessor::Fast manually via CPAN shell has resolved the problem, but there is two of them where this did not help. I know that during setup of these hosts I used yum and cpan shell both to install perl modules; I guess that was wrong to do. Now even an "install Bundle::CPAN" in cpan shell does not solve the problem. How can I find out what exactly goes wrong there? Googling for the error message does not show up anything helpful. Dirk

I remember back quite at time ago I had problems with one with volume control (ie none!). So I am looking for a cheap USB headphone or 'real' VoIP phone. I am using SIP Communicator as my client.

CEntOS-5.2 & php-mssql
by Adriano dos Santos Vieira (Hapia IN) 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Hi, guys! I'm trying to use php-mssql and I've tested the same php program on two servers (CEntOS-5 and Debian). CEntOS-5.2 (final) - php 5.1.6-20 - php-mssql 5.1.6-15 (from "extras" repository). - freetds 0.64-11 --------------------------- php test code -------------------------------- <?php ini_set('display_errors',1); error_reporting(E_ALL); $user='dbuser'; $pass='dbpassword'; $server='calcantita'; $db='dbtest'; $conn = mssql_connect($server, $user, $pass) or die('Connection error'); $dbselect= mssql_select_db($db, $conn) or die('DB select error.'); $sql = 'select * from tbtest'; $result = mssql_query($sql); while ($row = mssql_fetch_row($result)) { var_dump($row); } mssql_close($conn); ?> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This test code run very well on "Debian server", but not on CEntOS-5.2 (final). What's wrong on my CEntOS-5 environment? Help me please. Thanks in advance. Regards Adriano dos Santos Vieira

Problem building kernel (gpg problem) - 2.6.18-92.1.17
by ArcosCom Linux User 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

With new kernel, appeared some problems with build proccess here. After many minutes waiting for rpmbuild were over, a gpg problem appears!!: ... scripts/modsign/mod-extract.c:311: warning: format '%lx' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'Elf64_Xword' + KEYFLAGS='--no-default-keyring --homedir ..' + KEYFLAGS='--no-default-keyring --homedir .. --secret-keyring ../kernel.sec' + KEYFLAGS='--no-default-keyring --homedir .. --secret-keyring ../kernel.sec --keyring ../kernel.pub' + export KEYFLAGS ++ cat modnames + for i in '`cat modnames`' + sh ./scripts/modsign/modsign.sh /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-92.1.17.1.el5_ArcosCom-root/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.17.1.el5_ArcosCom/kernel/sound/i2c/snd-cs8427.ko CentOS gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir `..' gpg: no default secret key: secret key not available gpg: signing failed: secret key not available error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.66856 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.66856 (%build) ... With previous kernels I have no problem. Taking a look into kernel-2.6.spec I saw this lines: %if %{signmodules} gcc -o scripts/modsign/mod-extract scripts/modsign/mod-extract.c -Wall KEYFLAGS="--no-default-keyring --homedir .." KEYFLAGS="$KEYFLAGS --secret-keyring ../kernel.sec" KEYFLAGS="$KEYFLAGS --keyring ../kernel.pub" export KEYFLAGS for i in `cat modnames` do sh ./scripts/modsign/modsign.sh $i CentOS mv -f $i.signed $i done unset KEYFLAGS %endif I don't know how to correct this problem or if I need to configure gpg with something. Or perhaps I need some "buildrequire" because the build process not found anything. Any help? Thanks!!

I have HP StorageWorks D2D2500 machine on the way, I wonder if I can put CentOS on the machine then putting Backuppc after or the machine is already ready to use without needing additional software to install. I will read included manual when I get it although I am sure that it is available from HP site. I just do not have time yet to read it. Again thanks. Jun S. New Email names for you!

Painfully slow NetApp with databas
by Mindaugas Riauba 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Hello, We have long running problem with NetApp filers. When we connect server to the filer sequential read performance is ~70MB/s. But once we run database on the server seq read performance drops to ~11MB/s. That's happening with two servers. One is running Oracle another - MySQL. During speed tests database load is very light (less than 1MB/s of reads and writes). During the tests NetApp was serving only these two servers. What could be causing such slowdown and overall slow read performance? Writes are fast >100MB/s. NetApp support is claiming that such performance is normal. Somehow I do not believe that 2007 model should deliver such XXth century performance levels. :) RHEL4 fully updated 64 bits connected to NetApp FAS3040 via SAN using Qlogic 2Gb/s FC adapters. Tried both drivers from Redhat and QLogic (for NetApp). Also changing of FC parameters (like queue size) did not help. Regards, Mindaugas

Check my math please
by Sean Carolan 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Ok this is kind of a goofy question but I want to make sure I get it right. Suppose we have a 25 mb video, that is 117 seconds long. If we wish for this streaming video to play smoothly with no compression, buffering or skipping, the following bandwidth requirements must be met: 25 megabytes = 204800 kilobits. 204800 kb / 117 seconds ~ 1750kb/s Does that look right to you?

yum and /etc/redhat-release
by Agile Aspect 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi - I used yum to update CentOS 4.6. After the reboot after the upgrade, the file /etc/redhat-release still indicates I'm at CentOS 4.6. The lastest release of CentOS 4 is CentOS 4.7. So how do I use yum to upgrade from 4.6 to 4.7? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Ken -- Article. VI. Clause 3 of the constitution of the United States states: "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

Cluster Heart Beat Using Cross Over Cable
by lingu 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi, I am running two node active/passive cluster running Centos3 update 8 64 bit on Hp Box with external hp storage connected via scsi. My cluster was running fine for last 3 years.But all of a sudden cluster service keep on shifting (atleast one time in a day )form one node to another. After analysed the syslog i found that due to some network fluctuation service was getting shifted.Both the nodes has two NIC bonded together and configured with below ip. My network details: 192.168.1.2 --node 1 physical ip with class c subnet (bond0 ) 192.168.1.3 --node 2 physical ip with class c subnet (bond0 ) 192.168.1.4 --- floating ip ( cluster ) Since it is a very critical and busy server may be due to heavy network load some hear beat signal is getting missed resulting in shifting of service from one node to another. So i planned to connect crossover cable for heart beat messages, can any one guide me or provide me the link that best explains how to do the same and the changes i have to made in cluster configuration file after connecting the crossover cable. Regards, Lingu

apache content rewriting?
by Les Mikesell 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

I'm using apache with mod_proxy to make the server appear at a different location and port and need to tweak some absolute references in the content as it goes by. mod_proxy_html looked promising - and appears to work - but seems to be making the httpd process consume a lot of CPU on occasion. mod_substitute as included in more recent apache versions should work and mod_sed is another possibility. Has anyone solved this problem with the version of httpd in RHEL/Centos? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com
