OK. Trying to build libtiff here. Info from http://www.asteriskguru.com/tutorials/spandsp.html Libtiff from tar: ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff 3.8.2 put tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz in /root then tar -zxvf tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz followed by: /configure make clean make But the make had the following error: ./libtool: line 837: g++: command not found make[2]: *** [tif_stream.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 and make install did not work: Making install in port make[1]: Entering directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/port' make[2]: Entering directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/port' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/port' make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/port' Making install in libtiff make[1]: Entering directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' source='tif_stream.cxx' object='tif_stream.lo' libtool=yes \ DEPDIR=.deps depmode=none /bin/sh ../config/depcomp \ /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -c -o tif_stream.lo tif_stream.cxx libtool: compile: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -c tif_stream.cxx -o .libs/tif_stream.o ./libtool: line 837: g++: command not found make[1]: *** [tif_stream.lo] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 So what is missing?

CentOS 4.3 Server spontaneously rebooting (over and over again)
by Rob van Eerd 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi there, This post has also been posted in the Hardware and General forums but I thought it might be wise to post it here as well! My CentOS 4.3 (upgraded from CentOS 4.2 installed from Linux Magazine's April 2006 issue) server is rebooting spontaneously (over and over again). It started while I was copying from USB-device (iPod) to another USB-device (Freecom Portable-Hard-disk) but it happens now even when both devices aren't plugged in. I noticed it reboots most of the time during the boot process around the messages: "Starting udev:" and "Initializing hardware". I tried rebooting into single user mode without any luck and even starting with the Installation DVD (from Linux Magazine's April 2006 issue) gives me the same results. In doing so I noticed that it took a might long time to load my SCSI drivers and after removing both SCSI adapters (just connected for oldish CD- and tape-drives) it got a little better for just a few hours. Now my system is back to his anoying reboot habbit during the boot-process I've juggled around with the memory because sometimes the reboot occurred during initialization of the RAM disks. I was also starting to think that it may have to do something with networking activity because when it (only now and then) comes up properly, I can login (straight from the console) but as soon as I try to send something across the network (for instance my /var/log/message* files) the server reboots again. However removing the NIC (including the configuration) didn't solve my problem I've attached my lateste message file for reference. I've managed to get that off the system using a simple USB-stick. When trying to get it off using SCP or something alike, my server rebooted. Can anyone point me into the right direction to tame this beast? Thanks for any help! Regards, Rob van Eerd Rosmalen, Netherlands

CentOS 3.5 system hanging

Our very large and very complex application is running on CentOS 3.5 and Solaris. The CentOS machines are hanging about once per day. By "hanging" I mean the system is completely unresponsive either from the console or remotely via ssh. Totally locked. Does anyone have any tips for troubleshooting this sort of problem? -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation

OT - yum missing from a RHEL4 server???
by kevin＠kevinkempterllc.com 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hi List; Sorry for the OT post. However I suspect if anyone outside of RH can help with this question it would be this list. I'm starting a new contract with a shop that knows little about Linux and I'm helping pave the way. I've "inherited" an existing Linux install (RHEL4). I want to setup some tools but I find that yum is not installed. Is this normal for a RH box ? I thought that the RH up2date tool used yum under the covers. Anyhow, is there an easy way to get yum installed on this box ? I do have VNC access - and I can run KDE in the VNC connection even though according to the add/remove software tool KDE is not installed by changing the xstartup file forthat user under ~/.vnc (wierd!!) I suspect the answer is to find & download a yum rpm for redhat and install it via rpm but I want to be sure I dont do something stupid on a client system. Thanks in advance...

Login screen changes
by Steve Campbell 31 May '06

31 May '06

I tested moving a box from Tao 1.0 to CentOS 3.7. All went well, as far as I can tell, with the OS upgrades, but I needed to rpm -ivh --force the desktop-* stuff. This was a minor thing to fix for no real purpose other than to just be doing it. I still get, though, the Tao screens when the graphic login screen appears. I have changed the Application->Settings->Login Screen-> Graphical to Blue Curve. Is there a set of artwork rpms I need or something? I cant't remember, but I think there is something on the original grub splash, also, after rebooting. Not a big deal, but would just like to see if I can tidy this up a bit. Thanks Steve Campbell campbell(a)cnpapers.com Charleston Newspapers

CentOS4.3 - x86_64 - lockups
by Tom Brown 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hi I have a box that is a Linux LVS project based load balancer running on an 1850 and x86_64 bit version of CentOS. In the past i have never had issues with LVS but then again i have never tried it with x86_64 linux. This box will after a variable about of time, 1 day upto a week or so, stop accepting ssh connections, although http connections will be fine, and then after another period of time http will also stop being accepted/forwarded. It remains pingable but the only option is a power cycle. There is nothing in the logs as to why and this box was doing this when it was a 4.2 machine but it has recently been updated to 4.3 but the issue remains. There is nothing obvious in any logs and i can run x84_64 happily on other 1850's although they are not LVS's. The only thing that is showing up in the logs is this (scsi0:A:6:0): data overrun detected in Data-in phase. Tag == 0x3. (scsi0:A:6:0): Have seen Data Phase. Length = 50. NumSGs = 1. sg[0] - Addr 0x030910000 : Length 50(scsi0:A:6:0): data overrun detected repeated lots - does anyone know what that might be but also what could be the cause of this? thanks

Problem after last update
by Dominik Składanowski 31 May '06

Hello list. Since morning I have an emergency. After last kernel update one of my servers didn't start. On display I see only "GRUB" :( I have 2 more servers based on CentOS too, but after the same update this servers works. All servers have 2 HDs and works as software mirror. I have started damaged machine using Knoppix and I can see partitions and data on both disks. Of course I have made a backup. Anybody has the same problem? It can be hardware problem - HD diode light all the time. Or maybe something went wrong during update?

Problem installing from CD
by Jeffrey B. Layton 31 May '06

31 May '06

Good morning, I hate to bother everyone again, but I'm having some more trouble. I have a new machine with an MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard (ATI Xpress200 chipset) and a Hammer DVD Writer (shows up as a Matshita DVD-RAM SW-9585). I get the CD to start (in text mode - don't know why I can't do VGA or better), and it asks me What type of media contains the packages to be installed. I choose CDROM and then it says: The CentOS-4 x86_64 CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the CentOS x86_64 CD and press OK to retry. The funny thing is that this is Disk 1 of x86_64. Any ideas? I've tried a couple of different download sites and I always get the same problem. TIA! Jeff

In order to ensure that drivers and other third party apps maintain compatibility, the package set used on the Server CD is from Release time CentOS 4.3, you are strongly encouraged to run a 'yum update' immediately after installation. 4. As some of you will notice, the iso size is lower than the 650mb acceptable for a single CD.

We found that the 'data protection' features of software raid1/raid5 worked, but typically when a drive failed, the linux kernel was unable to provide useful service until it was rebooted and/or the failed drive removed. This was in the 2.4 days; things may be different now. We have since moved to 3ware hardware raid with better success in terms of continuing to provide service through a drive failure event.

Came to the same conclusion you did. We use 3Ware on our systems that require plenty of disk space, but don't require high performance. If we need the latter, then it's SCSI RAID. HTH Mark

gnome 2.12 via yum?

Hello, I was asked a question regarding centos that i do not know the answer. I don't use gnome or x on any box i deploy for production use so haven't checked in to this. CentOS4 comes with gnome 2.8 from what i was told, the question is is it possible to do an update rpmwise to gnome 2.12 via yum? If so, what repositories do i need to enable to pull this off and what if any lookouts should i be aware of? Thanks. Dave.

Choice of FTP server
by Alex Palenschat 30 May '06

30 May '06

I have taken over a number of RH/FC/CentOS servers recently. I am trying to upgrade all of them to CentOS 4.3 and configure them to only use software that can be managed via yum/apt repositories. One of the choices made by my predecessor was the pure-ftpd server over vsftpd. I cannot find a repo to get this rpm from and am wondering if anyone on the list has any practical experience with both and can give me some insight as to whether it would be better to run vsftpd (more likely to be updated after a security update via yum) versus pure-ftpd (very few updates needed in it's history). Thanks in advance, Alex Palenschat

Perl library
by Fong Vang 30 May '06

30 May '06

For over five years now, we use Perl during the post install of kickstart to perform customization. It appears the Perl setup is broken in CentOS 4.3 x86_64. It still works fine on CentOS 4.1 32-bit. The library Perl needs is missing: # perl -V error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director Is this a bug or is RedHat deprecating support for Perl during the installation?

authconfig and Segmentation fault
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 29 May '06

29 May '06

List, I configured my system to use Kerberos for authentication using authconfig, so I returned back my configuration of my system to use MD5 passwd and shadows pass using authconfig but when I uncheck "Use kerberos" a Segmentation fault comes to my screen: [root@netreporter.domain:~]# authconfig Segmentation fault I tried to check others options but I receive the Segmentation fault again! I'm using CentOS 4.3 + Updates. Regards Israel

It tends to be expensive to do away with all points of failure. The best you can do on a budget is try to limit your points of failure to things that tend to have a long lifespan (i.e. almost anything other than servers and individual hard drives). For another (relatively) low-cost option, check out the AoE storage appliances from Coraid.com. Mine is still in testing, but it was very easy to configure with CentOS4 and I haven't found any problems with it so far. I currently have a 1.2TB storage area shared between three CentOS servers with GFS. -- Bowie

Installing 4.3 from CD
by Jeffrey B. Layton 29 May '06

29 May '06

Howdy, I hate to bother everyone with something so simple, but I've beat my head bloody on this one. I have a new machine with an MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard (ATI Xpress200 chipset) and a Hammer DVD Writer (shows up as a Matshita DVD-RAM SW-9585). Anyway, I downloaded the CentOS 4.3 iso's and burned them to CD. When I boot the new machine it says: Boot CD: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER I've _never_ seen this error message before. I know this is a RTFM kind of question, but I don't have any idea right now. Any ideas? TIA! Jeff

kickstart, no dhcp reply received.
by Fong Vang 29 May '06

29 May '06

I'm trying to kicktart a CentOS 4.3 x86_64. However, anaconda is unabled to do dhcp, complaining about"no DHCP reply received". While tailing the log on the dhcp server, I clearly see a request come in and address is offered. This same machine kicks fine with CentOS 4.1 (32-bit). Since anaconda could potentially use a different NIC (this system contains 2 NICSs), I've tried plugging both interfaces into the kickstart network (I've seen interfaces swapped before) as a test. I know that the CentOS 4.3 x64 setup I have works fine because I can kick a different hardware with it. Any idea what else to check for? Could it be that the e1000 driver in CentOS 4.3 x64 is older than the CentOS 4.1 driver? Any help is appreciated.

two gateways on one PC ?
by Niels Przybilla 28 May '06

28 May '06

Hi, i added second nic to my server I have these two uplinks: My main uplink is 195.XXX.XXX.XXX My secondary is 83.XXX.XXX.XXX When I add the secondary NIC, CentOS automatically sets default gw to 83.XXX.XXX.1 and deletes the gateway from 195.XXX.XXX.1 How can I set it that CentOs uses the gateway 195.XXX.XXX.1 as default gateway. When I set this manually with route, CentOS changes my sentings after a reboot. And I need also to accept incoming traffic on 83.XXX.XXX.1. Thanks for your help and best regards Niels

tls not working with postfix in chroot mode on centos4.0

Centos and Software RAID
by Erick Perez 27 May '06

27 May '06

I purchased an Intel D945GNT motherboard and it comes in the BIOS with an option to create a RAID 0 or RAID 1 volumes using my existing two SATA disks. However when installing Centos 4.3 x86_64 I see the the installer recognices the two drives and does not "see" the RAID 0. Is that ok? Should I disable the RAID in the BIOS and then go for a LVM+RAID 0 setup in the installer ? Since it will be a server machine I want to gain the performance of RAID 0 without too much complications (i will use ext3 instead of ReiseFS) Thanks, -- ------------------------------------------- Erick Perez Linux User 376588 http://counter.li.org/ (Get counted!!!)

Thunderbird not automatically filter on incomming mail

27 May '06

Hi folks, I've noticed since long time ago that all the filters i have preset in thunderbird on CentOs are not automatically being applied as mail arrives. What i use to do is going to Tools->Run Filters on Folders being reading the "Local Folders -> Inbox" folder. Is there a way to preset it to automatically filter the incomming mail to the corresponding folders? I can remember some time ago it was working ok, but since a mail-store translation from a different machine to this one im having this issue for some accounts/filters only. $ rpm -q thunderbird thunderbird-1.0.8-1.4.1.centos4 TIA Jose.

Trying to find packages that depend on package X.
by William L. Maltby 26 May '06

26 May '06

Quick search in bout "man yum" and "man rpm" shows how to find what package X depends upon, but not what depends upon package X. Of course, we could get a deplist for everything but I'm *guessing* that take more overhead and grep too. "yum remove" tells us. Then we just have to remember to say "No, don't remove". Am I missing something... like I missed that big Google box on the archives? Anyway, if I haven't overlooked something, I was thinking that this might be a good enhancement request for yum's buglist. Do like remove but skip making us reliably answer "no". OK. Did I miss something? Is this a feature that others would find handy? Should I get it on a yum bug list? Thx, -- Bill

Via google: libtiff 3.8.2 http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2839214/com/libtiff-3.8.2-2.x86… This got me to a page all about libtiff 3.8.2 for 'Fedora other' and a link http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=libtiff&srodzaj=3 for other distributions.

New member, new OS, old Tao user
by Steve Campbell 26 May '06

26 May '06

Mr. Parsley, the main man at the Tao Linux group, has announced that he will no longer be able to do his thing for Tao Linux. Just recently, I had decided to investigate CentOS 4 before his announcement, and liked a lot of what I saw. Due to the Tao announcement, I have decided that CentOS will "have" to be the OS for my company in the future. Hence, my new membership to this list. I would like any opionions any of you may have to offer, and perhaps, some suggestions on migration to CentOS 3.7 from Tao 1 Update 6. I have usually applied updates only when needed on my current servers. Some cannot be updated due to the commercial applications being ran on them. So my first concern is the lateral migration to make CentOS 3 work on my current Tao 1 machines. The next phase, which would have happened with Tao anyway, would be to upgrade to the 2.6 kernel of the newer release. Obviously, this will be CentOS 4 instead of Tao 4 now, but that will be much later. I apologize for the length of this, but could use the hindsight, or any other vision, that you might have on this switch over. My first thoughts would be that it shouldn't be that difficult, as both are based on the same sources, but things never seem to be as easy as I think they should. Most of my servers are service related (mailservers, web servers, etc), so this will need to be something I think about if there are great differences of which I am not aware. Unfortunately, I do not have spares to start from, so any suggestions should be based on upgrade/migrate versus installation. I couldn't find any "searchable" archives, and most of what I see is 4.3 related anyway, so I am sorry for not doing a lot of homework yet. But I will do my homework. Mr. Parsley has indicated that this is not urgent. I have nothing but respect for his efforts. Thanks for any time and suggestions you may have.

Do I need large Cyrus DB files?
by Steve Snyder 26 May '06

26 May '06

While investigating my earlier Sendmail confusion I noticed these files: # ll /var/lib/imap/db/ total 15952 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 16384 Jan 22 04:02 __db.001 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 663552 Jan 22 04:02 __db.002 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 98304 Jan 22 04:02 __db.003 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 22568960 Jan 22 04:02 __db.004 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 32768 Jan 22 04:02 __db.005 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 64 Jan 22 04:02 log.0000000001 The date/time stamps suggest that these files were create by a cron job the day after I installed CentOS v4.2 and have not been modified since. I haven't done any explicit Cyrus configuration, and actually I don't have a clear idea of what mail-related functionality Cyrus actually provides. If it is in use at all on my system it is done as some aspect of the default CentOS4 installation. Those __db files are not owned by any RPM package, although the /var/lib/imap/db/ is owned by the cyrus-imapd package. Do I really need a 22MB empty database file on my system?

Three kernel RPMs at same time and yum error: "sem_post: Invalid argument"
by M. Fioretti 26 May '06

26 May '06

Greetings, I just ran "yum update" on a remote 4.2 Centos install. Then I typed "yum search some package" and got this error message repeating continuously: sem_post: Invalid argument A search for this message revealed only these links: http://www.linode.com/forums/archive/o_t/t_1898/centos4_installations_rpm_d… http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1202 If I run the command to look for duplicated RPMs described in those pages I get: -bash-3.00# rpm -qa | sed 's/$[A-Za-z0-9]$-[0-9].*$/\1/' | sort | uniq -d kernel As a matter of fact, I also get: -bash-3.00# rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.9-11.EL kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL kernel-2.6.9-34.EL My question is, what is the best, safest way to fix the system? The hack described in those pages doesn't seem (to me) to apply directly to my case. Being the kernel involved, instead of normal packages, I'm hesitant to try something that, as far as I know, may bring this remote server in an unusable state. Any help is appreciated.

Recent CentOS4 kernel updates and CentOS Plus
by Bart Schaefer 26 May '06

26 May '06

If it wouldn't be too much trouble ... when a kernel security update notice is posted to the announcements list, would it be possible to indicate whether the centosplus kernel is also susceptible to the security issue being patched? I'm running the plus kernel now, and find myself wondering whether I will ever need to back off to the base kernel because of security issues. Or is it reliably the case that centosplus gets updated along with the base kernel whenever necessary if the upstream has released a security fix?

Suggestions on initial CentOS 4.3 Install packages
by Phillips, Tod 26 May '06

26 May '06

Hello, all... I'm attempting to learn Linux (on a CentOS setup) by doing something productive at the same time. I've already installed it twice...once with a "full, just install everything" setup and another by following the Perfect CentOS 4.3 Web Server Setup instructions on HowToForge.com. Though I've had issues with both, I have a lot of patience and time is not a big concern. What I'd like to do is get some advice from the community on a good initial setup for my system by listing out some of the things I hope to do: 1) Set up a test Web Server for development of a soon-to-be-deployed rework of a client's website (I'll host the production site w/ an outside company). 2) I'd like to learn PHP and Apache while I'm reworking the site. 3) Learn all there is to know (ok, maybe just enough to not be dangerous) about securing the server. 4) Develop a program, most likely in C/C++, that can talk with my Company's mainframe and its communications software, either through web services/xml interfaces or directly through some sort of COM / .NET equivalent. The end result would be an application that can run on any Linux box with an Internet connection, giving users the ability to access and modify mainframe data, enter orders, etc. 5) Be able to retrieve email, surf the net, write and read documents (general office stuff) to become both more familiar with Linux apps AND to keep from needing to run to a different PC for these needs when they arise. I know I'll need the X Windows and Gnome stuff, but I'm concerned about dependencies and/or conflicts between the packages necessary for everything I want to do. I certainly want to use the Terminal prompts whenever possible -- particularly for setting up the networking and Apache server -- so that I can begin to learn Linux/Unix. The question really becomes: Can I do it all on one box or am I going to create a nightmare for myself because of overlapping programs that "hijack" critical functions from the web server, or vice-versa? I erased my original install (with everything) because it seemed more important to me to learn what it was I needed and install it manually later on if and when the need arose. Good thinking or...? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated, grayfire1229(a)netscape.net

Sendmail burst of "rejecting connections" - why?
by Steve Snyder 26 May '06

26 May '06

What's the reason for the burst of sendmail complaints below? My CentOS 4.3 server only handles internal mail for my small network. It doesn't handle Internet mail at all, so I guess I can't blame a crack attempt for this. IPTables rules should prevent external connections to everything except SSH's port 22. I've looked through the other logs hoping that some other activity would be seen at this time as well. Nothing. the surrounding entries in /var/log/maillog are perfectly reasonable. As far as I can tell this 14-minute burst of sendmail activity exists in isolation. Can anyone suggest a reason for these log entries? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------- May 25 07:09:24 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 24 May 25 07:09:39 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 25 May 25 07:09:54 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 26 May 25 07:10:09 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 29 May 25 07:10:24 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 31 May 25 07:10:39 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 32 May 25 07:10:54 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 33 May 25 07:11:24 server last message repeated 2 times May 25 07:11:39 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 34 May 25 07:12:24 server last message repeated 3 times May 25 07:12:39 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 34 May 25 07:12:54 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 33 May 25 07:13:09 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 32 May 25 07:13:24 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 31 May 25 07:13:54 server last message repeated 2 times May 25 07:14:09 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 30 May 25 07:14:54 server last message repeated 3 times May 25 07:15:25 server last message repeated 2 times May 25 07:15:40 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 29 May 25 07:15:55 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 29 May 25 07:16:10 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 28 May 25 07:16:25 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 27 May 25 07:16:40 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 26 May 25 07:16:55 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 25 May 25 07:17:10 server sendmail[2942]: accepting connections again for daemon MTA May 25 07:17:45 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 24 May 25 07:18:00 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 25 May 25 07:18:15 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 27 May 25 07:18:30 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 28 May 25 07:18:45 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 29 May 25 07:19:00 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 30 May 25 07:19:45 server last message repeated 3 times May 25 07:20:00 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 29 May 25 07:20:15 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 28 May 25 07:20:45 server last message repeated 2 times May 25 07:21:00 server sendmail[2942]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 25 May 25 07:21:15 server sendmail[2942]: accepting connections again for daemon MTA

Load Balancing
by Mace Eliason 25 May '06

25 May '06

Hi, We are starting a new project, and are trying to decide the best way to proceed. We want to setup a LAMP configuration using Centos, something we have been doing in the past with great success. The question is load balancing. We antisipate the potential for the system to receive 500,000 requests/ day with in the next year. We want to plan for that extra load now as we start the project. What would you suggest for setups for multiple servers for redundancy and load balancing? I have setup MySQL replication and that works fine but what about the rest of the system. I know it is quite simple to setup with windows 2003 server. Would a cluster be the way to go? Ideally we would like 2-? severs setup that are all identical and sharing the load as need be, and if one fails users would notice nothing. I have also thought of just looking for a hosting company that offers load balancing servers and not worry about it but we like to have control. Thanks for any suggestions Mace

3ware 9550sx on CentOS 4.3 x64
by Fong Vang 24 May '06

3ware now provides driver disk for CentOS. A couple of months ago, I had to add support for the 3ware 9550sx. The driver disk provided for CentOS 4.1 work perfectly. I now need to add support for the 3ware 9550sx for CentOS 4.3 x64. Although the driver disk is available, it doesn't seem to work. Anaconda just can't find the 3w-9xxx module. This is the same seutp as CentOS 4.1 (which works) so I'm not sure how x64 is different. The driver disk contains the following files: modinfo modules.cgz modules.deppcitable rhdd Any help is appreciated.

libtiff 3.6.1 and Asterisk spandsp
by Robert Moskowitz 24 May '06

24 May '06

Per: http://soft-switch.org/spandsp_faq/ar01s07.html FAXing with spandsp keeps giving me core dumps. Its crap, isn't it? Actually the crap in this case is probably libtiff. Versions 3.5.7 and 3.6.0 seem reliable. The FAX image handling in version 3.6.1 is broken. All the core dump problems I have investigated turned out to be due to a very old version of libtiff, or version 3.6.1. I am getting crashes of Asterisk on transmitting faxes (not receiving), and have libtiff-3.6.1-10 installed. Does anyone here have experience with spandsp's txFax? is libtiff 3.6.0 available somewhere somehow to try it out?

Installing a package group after the initial install
by Alfred von Campe 24 May '06

24 May '06

I recently installed a system using the CentOS 4.3 CDs which is now up and running. Everything is running fine, but I forgot to install one of the "package groups" that Anaconda offers as an option. Is there a way to install this group on a running system using the data on the CDs (i.e., not via a repository)? If not, is there a way to get the list of RPMs that belong to a package group? If I had that information, I could install the RPMs manually. Thanks, Alfred

24 May '06

Hi, We aee looking to locate a machine in osuosl (www.osuosl.org) on Internet 2, to make syncs to our I2 mirrors faster. If anyone has a machine spare they would be willing to donate to the project we would be grateful. Donor would get listing on CentOS website. Alternatively any spare components that we could build a machine ourselves from would be appreciated. Spec not important - Celeron , P4 or better. Machine does need lots of drive space - or a nas/san array. Please reply off-list to donate(a)centos.org (unless you want to discuss here) Regards Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

RE: [CentOS] iptables rules
by Andrew Elliott 23 May '06

23 May '06

Good morning, First I would recommend using different rules for your INPUT and FORWARD chains; it's 100 times easier to troubleshoot and can make things look a lot simpler. Second, I would refrain from posting any external ip addresses on a public forum. I'm not sure about your setup, but usually when you're creating rules such as these, it's a good idea to start off with a default policy of DROP for INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD. From a security perspective it's better to block everything and only allow what you're looking for. Anyways, for your rules, I would replace "-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth0 -s 82.201.195.123 -j ACCEPT" and "-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j REJECT" with: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp -s ! 82.201.195.123 --dport 22 -j DROP This will drop everything on eth0 going to port 22 from everywhere except the ip address specified. However, it's still easy to spoof an ip address in order to get ssh access to this box. I would really recommend to set all your default policies to DROP though. If you'd like an exhaustive tutorial: http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Peace.

ISO-8601 and LOCALEs
by James B. Byrne 23 May '06

23 May '06

We would like to set the standard date and time display on our CentOS hosts to the format "yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss", where HH is the twenty-four hour clock. Does there exist a simple setting in Linux/CentOS that permits such a change for a specific LOCALE (in our case en_CA.UTF-8) or is it necessary to build a custom LOCALE LC_TIME file? If the latter case holds then can someone point me to a web site or other reference that provides somewhat more details on the process than that provided in the man pages?

by Henri Cook 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi Guys, After a chat with some helpful people on Freenode I've included as much information as I can think to about this error, if you need anything else please don't hesitate to ask. I run a webserver (remotely administered, no graphical user interface that i know of - certainly not one running all the time) - in the past few days this error has started to occur, the system dies and needs manually rebooting after each occurence: ---------------- May 21 23:08:01 testmachine kernel: Page has mapping still set. This is a serious situation. However if you May 21 23:08:01 testmachine kernel: are using the NVidia binary only module please report this bug to ----------------- The machine runs CentOS 3 and has been for ~2 Years, a technician at the datacentre ran Memtest earlier today which returned no errors. Hardware wise it's an intel 2.53Ghz Celeron, 1.5GB RAM I would really appreciate any help! Henri

ipsec and Centos3.7
by Oliver Schulze L. 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi, I want to connect to a Cisco Pix using ipsec. In RH9 I was able to compile openswan 2.4.0 and use it, but in Centos 3.7 I can apply the openswan klips patch. I noted that the centos 3.7 kernel has a ipsec patch from redhat, does this NETKEY patch works with openswan? What ipsec solution do I have in centos 3.7? Should I use another kernel? many thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver(a)samera.com.py>

CentOS 3 and openswan > 2.2.1
by Nicole Haehnel 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi, is there anybody running centos3 (el3) with a standard kernel 2.4.32 or newer, because it seems openswan versions > 2.21 don't run with centos3(el3) anymore. But we need the newer openswan versions. Problem arise when I try to build the ipsec.o module: /usr/src/openswan-2.4.4/linux/net/ipsec/ipsec_init.c /usr/src/openswan-2.4.4/linux/net/ipsec/ipsec_init.c: In function `openswan_inet_add_protocol': /usr/src/openswan-2.4.4/linux/net/ipsec/ipsec_init.c:162: too few arguments to function `inet_add_protocol_Rsmp_dc5483d7' /usr/src/openswan-2.4.4/linux/net/ipsec/ipsec_init.c: In function `openswan_inet_del_protocol': /usr/src/openswan-2.4.4/linux/net/ipsec/ipsec_init.c:169: too few arguments to function `inet_del_protocol_Rsmp_23842692' If I use a vanilla kernel, some other things break like iptables... Maybe a spec file for a vanilla kernel + iptables? Anybody can help? Thanks! Nicole

System freeze on laptop: power saving daemon doing harm?
by Niki Kovacs 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi, I have CentOS 4.3 installed on my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D laptop (Pentium IV 2.4 GHz CPU). Everything runs just fine, but I have one problem. When I leave the machine unattended for something like an hour or two, my desktop has "frozen". Unable to recovery anything, even [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Backspace] refuses to quit X, so I have to hard-reboot by pressing PowerOn/Off for 10 seconds. First thing I did after install, I deactivated the XScreensaver because it kept asking me for a password everytime I stopped typing for 5 minutes. There must be some other power-saving daemon there that makes the mess, but I don't know much about these. I've heard somewhere that ACPI can cause system crashes... but I don't know where to even start to look. As far as I reckon, I have an ACPI daemon running, a thing called 'irqbalance' (that produces a nice red 'FAILED' on every shutdown) and also lm_sensors. Any suggestions? Niki Kovacs

problem with ldap, sendmail, dovecot
by Myron Williams 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi all, I have recently started to use CentOS. I have setup a mail server running centos 4.3 with dovecot, sendmail, and spamassassin. The user information is located in a openlapd database on a separate machine. I am currently seeing connection from the mail server to the ldap server left open which causes some interesting behavior. Sendmail will occasionally return email messages as user unknown when the user exists. This behavior will steadily get worse until the number of connections fill up. When ldap is restarted the process starts over again. If ldap is restarted every hour the behavior stated above is not seen. Email is delivered as would be expected. Doing tcpdump shows connections from dovecot and sendmail that have are in an open state. I find the connections that were is the open state finish their request and close. Occasionally I see connections that were doing dovecot authentication before the reset will change and do a sendmail request then close. When a load was first put to the mail server dovecot authentication would just start (authenticate < 10 people) and lockup. Upon googling I found a article that said to set dovecot to use ldap directly instead of using pam (create the dovecot-ldap.conf file). This I did and the authentication problem appeared to have gone away. I have tried to find information to help solve this problem of the open connection but without success. If someone could point me in the right direction to solve this problem it would be appreciated. Myron Williams

Folding@Home + CentOS 4.3 = success
by Chris Mauritz 22 May '06

22 May '06

The Folding@Home client seems to be a wonderful stressor of the CentOS server systems I've been burning in. I've been running two copies of the client on physical dual-core and single die dual-core machines for a few days now. Nary a whimper from the machines and only a slight elevation in temperature (they're 1RU rackmount systems with aggressive/loud fans). In contrast, I loaded the client on a few Win2K (server and workstation) and my WinXP laptop and every single one of them eventually bombed out the client (though without crashing the machines). All were running the 5.04beta client. So I guess it's time to deploy these puppies. (Darn, just when I was poised to break into the top 10 on the CentOS team...heh) Cheers,

CentOS 4 and SATA RAID
by Kai Schaetzl 22 May '06

22 May '06

There have been several threads about SATA in the past weeks and the problems with it. I'm still not clear, though, if SATA in general is a problem or just specific functionality or hardware. Do I understand correctly that "mainboard built-in" SATA RAID is a nono on CentOS? That I would need a third-party RAID card for this? What about SATA non-RAID or SATA2? Is SATA supposed to work in general or do the disks need to run in IDE mode? Do I generally need drivers from the hardware (mainboard, chipset) vendor or is "normal" SATA supposed to work with the packaged drivers? Kai

Centos 3.6 - iscsi target issues
by Bruno Sousa 21 May '06

21 May '06

Hello, I'm running a server that needs to have a kernel 2.4.xxx. So now I'm running a CentOS 3.6 with kernel 2.4.21-37.0.1.ELsmp. Now, I want to make this server usable for ISCSI, so I started to install the ISCSI target, and the problems begin. If I try to install ISCSI version 0.4.13 from source code I got the following error : The present kernel configuration has modules disabled. Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support. Then build a kernel with module support enabled. This means that the CentOS kernel doesn't allow to insert modules? Sorry for perhaps being a lame question, but I can , and use, insmod all the time. Anyway, later on I found a src.rpm, so I give it a try. The file is http://www.digicola.com/developer/iscsitarget-0.4.12-6.src.rpm , and i i try to rebuild the rpm , with the command rpmbuild --rebuild iscsitarget-0.4.12-6.src.rpm it gives me the following error : error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-smp-devel = 2.4.21-37.0.1.EL is needed by iscsitarget-0.4.12-6 I searched a little and I installed the kernel-devel package.but it still doesn't work. If anyone could point me out some way to solve this, it would be very appreciated. Best regards, Bruno Sousa

sendmail config problem

Recently my wife received an Email addressed from jdavidson4(a)home.com.

However what disturbs me is that given the lack of DNS MX record for home.com my Email server is tacking my domain name nurdog.com onto the original domain name and creating home.com.nurdog.com.

I am not that concerned about this problem, but for the life of me googling and comparing the config files between my two Email servers does not indicate anthing obvious to me to cause this behavior. Does anyone have an idea to which sendmail config parameter might be causing nurdog.com to get tacked onto home.com in these circumstances? Thanks for any ideas. -- Paul (ganci(a)nurdog.com)

mysql : Access denied for user
by kenkensmile＠netscape.net 20 May '06

Hi all, I am having a problem with mysql. I set up root password set password for root@localhost=password('xxxxxxxxx'); set password for root@'xxx.yyyy.com'=password('yyyyyyyy'); after that I tried to log in, but mysql says ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I guess that I had the right password. My friend told me that I might have used a wrong password, so I set up new password for root. However, mysql says the exactly same thing!! ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I was not sure about the error, so I decided to remove mysql and deleted /var/lib/mysql. After that I reinstalled mysql and set up mysql again. However, mysql again says ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I am 100000% sure that I am using the right passward for root I am quite puzzled by the error and need your help. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? I am using CentOS4.3. Thank you for your help. Cheers, Joe ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!

Centos 4.3 and Card Reader
by Ralph Alvy 20 May '06

CentOS 4.3 (fully updated, including CentOS Plus kernel). Running KDE 3.5.2 (fully updated from redhat.kde repo). I can't seem to get the OS to recognize my SD card when inserted into my USB card reader. Mepis 6 Beta 3 has no problem with it. DMESG sees nothing happening when the card is inserted. USB-STORAGE module is loaded.
