strange chgrp behavior
by Tomas Ruprich 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Greetings, i had a following problem, which on one side i have already solved, but on other side i don't thing it should behave this way and wish somebody to tell if it is feature or bug ;-) [root@machine home]# chown user user/ [root@machine home]# ls -ld /home/user drwxr-xr-x 66 user staff 4096 /home/user [root@machine home]# chgrp -R staff user/ [root@machine home]# ls -ld user/ drwxr-xr-x 66 root staff 4096 user/ ^^^^^^ I've been working on it hole afternoon, playing with user permissions, moving home directories to others, debugging selinux and other things, but at last, it was caused by [root@machine home]# ls -la user/.openoffice/user/work lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 28 14:35 user/.openoffice/user/work -> /home/user When i remove this symlink, everything works fine. I tried this on CentOS 4.4 and 4.5 with coreutils-5.2.1-31.4 and coreutils-5.2.1-31.6 and both are doing this. CentOS 5 with coreutils-5.97-12.1.el5 is already fine. I've been searching through coreutils gnu.org archives, but found nothing (maybe i'm not so experienced seeker ;-)) Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomáš Ruprich ruprich(a)uikt.mendelu.cz DCD IICT MUAF Brno tel.: +420 545 132 885, +420 602 127 744 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation troubles
by Chuck Campbell 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

I have a new machine I'm trying to install Centos 5.0 on and I'm not getting very far. The system is 2 dual core xeons (5160, 3.0 GHZ) w/ 8GB ram. It has two 320 GB disks on the motherboard controller (Supermicro X7DAE+), and 8 750 GB disks on a 3ware 9650SE-8ml, pcie (x4) controller card. The 8 disks are set up as two raid 5 volumes (4 disks each). There is a scsi card in the machine w/ nothing attached to it. The graphics card is na NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 (pci express x16). The intent is to install the OS onto the 2-320GB drives on the motherboard controller (preferrably in a raid 1 configuration). The other disks are for our data requirements. 1)I used bit torrent (azureus on windows) to download the dvd iso for Centos 5.0, and it completed without any errors. I believe it does the checksumming verification automatically. I also ran sha1sum against the image, and it came out fine. 2)I burned the image to a dvd using roxio. No errors. When I couldn't get down the road, I burned another copy with no errors. 3)During the install, I verified the media with no errors for both of the disks. 4)I downloaded the driver for this OS and raid card from AMCC-3ware site and made a driver floppy. 5)I booted the dvd and ran "linux dd" to do the install. Should the graphical installer work on an nvidia quadro fx1500 graphics card? At the present it doesn't appear to work for me, I get hash all over the screen, once X starts. 6)I booted the dvd again and ran "linux text dd". I verified my dvd media without problems, and it reads the driver floppy and loads the 3w-9xxx driver. It asks questions about lang, kbd and timezone. 7)For partitions, I selected custom, created a /boot, /, swap and /home on the first 320 GB disk (it turns out to be sdc, with sda and sdb being the big raid volumes). After the grub section (I told it to put grub on the /boot partition) the screen is blue, and it just sis without any further response (I left it over night, so it should have finished). 8)If I press alt-f3, the last thing I see is: 13:18:16 INFO : Moving (1) to step reposetup 9)If I press alt-f4, the last thing I see is: <5>SQUASHFS error : sb_bread failed reading block 0x6acc <5>SQUASHFS error : unable to read page, block 1aaa0d9, size 9154 8)I'm at a loss as to what to try next, or how to find out what is wrong. thanks in advance for any and all help, -chuck By the Way, a knoppix 3.8 live cd will boot and run fine on the hardware.

nVdia C15G chipset and GeForce 6100 on board graphix controller
by Chris Geldenhuis 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Hi, Apologies for the long post - but I'm being driven crazy by this problem. A while ago I built a new server that is intended to serve as a Xen server running multiple DomU systems used a test environments for systems that I am working on. The host Xen system will be CentOS 5 as will some of the DomU systems. The systems will all be hardware virtualized. The motherboard uses the nVidia C15G chipset and the onboard graphix controller is recognised as a GeForce 6100. I am having problems getting the Video and mouse to work properly with CentOS 5 - both with as set of CD's downloaded when CentOS 5 was first released and with a DVD obtained from one of the local distro shops. The symptoms are that the Video is run in 800X600 mode and the mouse pointer works while the system is booting and while I am logging in to a GUI session. Once the login process has completed the mouse pointer disappears (is not visible at all). The mouse does however work as you can see changes to the Icons and menus on screen when moving the mouse around (blindly). The same situation obtains when running the system with FC7 installed. However when I boot the system using a Knoppix 5.1.1 live disk the Video resolution is 1024X768 and the mouse works properly. I attach the output of lspci and lsmod from both CentOS and Knoppix as well as the X86 Config file from Knoppix. Could someone please advise me on how to get CentOs to give the same results with the video and mouse as Knoppix.

request for hosting ( London, UK )
by Karanbir Singh 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Hi Chaps, A couple of Sun Netra t105 have been donated to the CentOS Project. The machines are located in London and I was wondering if anyone in the area might be able to host these machines for us ? They come with 19" rack rails. We would need access to some - but not a whole lot of - bandwidth. We plan on using these machines in developer roles, for code testing and sandbox builds. So, while we wont be using a lot of b/w - the machines being on a fast'ish link would still be appreciated. Regards, -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Language interfaces and X.Org sessions per user
by Ioannis Vranos 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

Q1: Is it possible different users to have different language interfaces (menus etc) on the same machine under X.Org (GNOME or KDE)? Q2: Is it possible to have more than one X.Org sessions running on the same machine, so as different users to log in at the same time, and switch between users X.Org sessions (one using GNOME, other using XFCE) by using the usual Ctrl-Alt-Fx keys? Thanks in advance.

Dear Concerns, I have backup script which TAR the data, makes one copy on local hardisk and then FTP to another machine. Last few days i m facing problem with it.

Very strange problem i have faced in my 2 years carrier
by umair shakil 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

Dear Concerns, I would like to share a very strange problem. I am from Pakistan/Islamabad. Last month i was on trainning from Askari Bank Limited (Juniper). Here in Askari i m running NMS--> MRTGs using CentOs 4.4. On trainning i recieved a call from collique saying "when i "su -l" NMS says "root user doesnot exist". and also MRTGs not working. well i was amazed how was it possible. In the Evening i came back to office. I boot the machine in single user mode and type the command; less /etc/passwd here when i found that user root existed, but the only thing that was amazing is; the spelling of root was changed from "root" to "R00t". i changed to "root" and every thing worked. I want to ask, what is this, this doesnot seem a garbage value or nor corruption of passwd file. only showing someone changes this. Here we have bank private network, only two people have access for it me and another guy. what are your opinions?????? Please also share your strange experience. Regards, Umair Shakil Askari bank Limited

vsftp and nonpriv_user option question
by Blackburn, Marvin 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

thhis didnt go through completely the first time. I am a bit confused as to how this works. I created a local unpriveleged user (with /bin/nologin shell). i uncommented the line containing nopriv_user=ftpsecure and restarted vsftp. I am confused as to what is supposed to happen. Shuld the daemon /usr/sbin/vsftpd be run as root or should it be ftpsecure? Or is the account only used to login to transfer files? Any help would be appreciated. _____________________________________ "He's no failure. He's not dead yet." William Lloyd George

Cron set_loginuid failed opening loginuid errors.
by Steven Haigh 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

Hi all, I've had this error rear it's ugly head again and I'm not exactly sure why. The output in /var/log/message is: crond[14764]: pam_loginuid(crond:session): set_loginuid failed opening loginuid crond[14765]: pam_loginuid(crond:session): set_loginuid failed opening loginuid crond[14811]: pam_loginuid(crond:session): set_loginuid failed opening loginuid crond[14842]: pam_loginuid(crond:session): set_loginuid failed opening loginuid This seems to happen every 5 minutes. Probably caused by the cacti cron jobs running. It looks to have started after the last krb5 updates - however this could be coincidence. $ cat crond # # The PAM configuration file for the cron daemon # # auth sufficient pam_rootok.so auth required pam_env.so auth include system-auth account required pam_access.so account include system-auth #session required pam_loginuid.so session include system-auth I commended out pam_loginuid.so - as I remember reading somewhere that this was the cause of this issue, however it hasn't made a difference this time... Does anyone have any insight in this? -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897

Apache 2.2.3 ETag weirdness.
by Flaherty, Patrick 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

I'm looking to clarify this entry I found in a changelog(line 2062ish) on a CentOS 5 box for Apache 2.2.3 *) mod_include no longer allows an ETag header on 304 responses. PR 19355. [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>, André Malo] Loading the mod_include module prevents any ETags headers from being sent from the box. If I comment out mod_include, ETags are sent as expected. CentOS 4 2.0.59 with mod_include does not show the same behavior, and ETags are sent both with and without mod_include loaded. If anyone can tell me the correct behavior, and if I need to file a bug I'd apreciate it. My assumption was anyfiles with an  statement would not get an ETag, but regular html without includes would be fine. Best Patrick

MS SQL server
by Tony Barratt 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

Hello List, I need to access some data a MS-SQL server ie run a stored procedure or user-defined function or a select every so often maybe 3 times a day. Have centos 4.5 on intel xeon. Is there an obvious certain-to-succeed approach? perl DBI + ODBC spings to mind, have not tried it yet - cannot access the systems yet - need to make a good plan. Am a bit concerned cos I dont know of an alternative to perl DBI + ODBC and I have heard a few anecdotes about how ODBC possibly problematic.. Any suggestions gratefully received and would be pleased to read the nice manual (if one is identified!). Tony

mailq.postfix manpage
by Stefano Biagiotti 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

On CentOS 4 I can't view the mailq man page. I installed postfix and removed sendmail. # LANG=en_US man mailq fopen: No such file or directory Cannot open man page /usr/share/man/man1/sendmail.1.gz No manual entry for mailq # zcat /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.postfix.1.gz .so man1/sendmail.1 Solved replacing with ".so man1/sendmail.postfix.1". Has this little typo to be reported in the CentOS Bug Tracker? -- Stefano Biagiotti

logging tftpd
by Craig White 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

I'm trying to figure out where my bootloading breaks down on ltsp with a ppc client and so I changed /etc/xinetd.d/tftp... server_args = -vv -s /tftpboot but cannot figure out if/where it's getting logged - do I have to change something in syslogd.conf? -- Craig White <craig(a)tobyhouse.com>

Accidentally removed glibc & glibc-devel :: Help
by geekylucas 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Hi, I attempted to ugprade glibc & glibc-devel and ended up removing them entirely by accident. *idiot* What are the steps needed to get glibc back onto my system. Absolutely nothing is working at the moment, rpm, yum, etc. I presume I'm going to have to boot from a rescue CD of some kind. If someone could outline how to do this, or point me to some docs I would be most grateful. (CentOS 4.3) LC.

How to upgrade WBEL4 to CentOS4?
by Eric B. 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Hi, I've got a couple of servers that are running WBEL4 that I would like to upgrade to CentOS4. I noticed that there is a FAQ which explains how to upgrade WBEL3 to CentOS3, but haven't found anything similar for WBEL4. Are the instructions for the WBEL3 upgrade the same for WBEL4? Should I be doing something else instead? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eric

question on alias IPs using ifcfg-eth0:x
by Ray Leventhal 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

When using ifcfg-eth0:x files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, should each file (where x increments appropriately) point to DEVICE=eth0:x or DEVICE=eth0:0? I apparently have my alias files all ifcfg-eth0:0 - ifcfg-eth0:7 show DEVICE=eth0:0. Is this right? It seems odd to me and while it does seem odd, the alias IPs are being appropriately responded to, answering pings and nameserver requests. The output of /sbin/ifconfig is what clued me in to the fact that I may well have done this wrong. This output showed eth0 and eth0:0 only. Suggestions are welcome and much appreciated.

[CentOS 5] tftp-server, unable to create new files (even with "-c" option)
by Davide Grandis 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a TFTP server to serve as repository for the config of all my Cisco network devices. As per the the tftpd man, I've added the "-c" option into the /etc/ xinetd.d/tftp (as follows) but I still cannot get write access (unless the file is already present). [root@chl1 ~]# cd /etc/xinetd.d [root@chl1 xinetd.d]# cat tftp # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \ # protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \ # workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \ # and to start the installation process for some operating systems. service tftp { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s -c /tftpboot per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 flags = IPv4 } And here is it concerning the home path owner & permissions: [root@chl1 /]# ls -la ... drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Sep 13 10:18 tftpboot ... [root@chl1 /]# ls -la tftpboot/ drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Sep 13 10:18 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Sep 13 17:48 .. -rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody nobody 1811552 Sep 12 10:28 c3500xl-c3h2s-mz. 120-5.WC17.bin -rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody nobody 1181 Sep 13 17:51 pippo.config (pippo.config = fake file) This is what I get at the TFTP client side: LabTI-Infra-3524XL-01#copy running-config tftp: Address or name of remote host []? 10.58.2.204 Destination filename [labti-infra-3524xl-01-confg]?

What am I missing? Any suggestion really appreciated! TIA, Davide

Hi, I am having problem with setting up the proxy for yum correctly. I have got no influence on proxy policy or authentication methods. The proxy username contains the '@' character. My question is if there is any way how to enter the username correctly into the yum.conf. I tried many ways but has not been successful yet. Many thanks, David

Bypassing firewall alternatives
by Wei Yu 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Hi I am experiencing a problem of bypassing firewalls. I know that "ssh -R" can forward ports from remote server to local ports. But it requires an account of the remote server, which seems to be a security hole. I am looking for other programs which can do so, any suggestions? Thanks.

NFS and iptables issues
by Chuck Campbell 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

I've got a newly installed Centos 5.0 box, planned to replace an ageing server (solaris box). I've set up the nfs shares, but the other solaris boxes won't mount them, unless I turn of iptables on the Centos box. If I do that, they mount, and all operations tested to date work fine. Iptables is allowing the 2049 tcp and udp ports already. What else needs to be opened up in iptables for nfs to work through the firewall? I looked at the RHEL system admin guide on NFS and found nothing useful. thanks, -chuck

backing up with dump and DLT
by Israel.garcia 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, I have a CentOS 4.1 (with a two hdds RAID 1 using mdadm) running some database system.... I connected a DLT device on its SCSI interface (/dev/nst0) in order to make some external backup..... I dump several filesystems (/, /boot /usr /var /home and others)....so and when I try to dump manualy for expmple /boot I get this: [root@Server ~]# dump -0vuf /dev/nst0 /boot DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Sep 13 16:00:02 2007 DUMP: Dumping /dev/md0 (/boot) to /dev/nst0 DUMP: Excluding inode 8 (journal inode) from dump DUMP: Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump DUMP: Label: none DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 5706 blocks. DUMP: Volume 1 started with block 1 at: Thu Sep 13 16:00:02 2007 DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping directory inode 2 DUMP: ACLs in inode #2 won't be dumped DUMP: dumping directory inode 11 DUMP: dumping directory inode 14057 DUMP: ACLs in inode #14057 won't be dumped DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] DUMP: dumping regular inode 12 DUMP: ACLs in inode #12 won't be dumped DUMP: dumping regular inode 13 DUMP: ACLs in inode #13 won't be dumped DUMP: dumping regular inode 14 DUMP: ACLs in inode #14 won't be dumped DUMP: dumping regular inode 15 DUMP: ACLs in inode #15 won't be dumped . . . . . DUMP: ACLs in inode #14072 won't be dumped DUMP: dumping regular inode 14073 DUMP: ACLs in inode #14073 won't be dumped DUMP: Closing /dev/nst0 DUMP: Volume 1 completed at: Thu Sep 13 16:00:06 2007 DUMP: Volume 1 5710 blocks (5.58MB) DUMP: Volume 1 took 0:00:04 DUMP: Volume 1 transfer rate: 1427 kB/s DUMP: 5710 blocks (5.58MB) on 1 volume(s) DUMP: finished in 1 seconds, throughput 5710 kBytes/sec DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Sep 13 16:00:02 2007 DUMP: Date this dump completed: Thu Sep 13 16:00:06 2007 DUMP: Average transfer rate: 1427 kB/s DUMP: DUMP IS DONE So, I think I have some problem with dump and some other ACls (maybe selinux).... but the fact is that I can't restore nothing because it seems to be dumping only / filesystem (/dev/md0).. all other filesystems are not in the tape device....I disabled selinux on this server and nothing... I always received this error when dumping (ACLs in inode won't be dumped) Please, I'm now looking in google but I'd like to hear your opinion about this error... Is the DLT devide broken? Am I making somethig wrong with the command dump? thanks in advance Israel

Kickstart install surprise
by Bill Campbell 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

I have to say that I was more that a bit surprised, if not to say dismayed when I booted a system with CentOS 5 installed to test a kickstart CD in interactive mode, took it to the custom partitioning screen, then rebooted without saving anything only to come up with a grub prompt, and the disk's partition table wiped. The ks.cfg file did say to wipe the disk when installing, but I would expect that it wouldn't do this in interactive mode until one told it to start the installation. I have been installing Linux systems for well over a decade, starting with Caldera Network Desktop 1.0, all versions of Caldera through 2001, and SuSE from 8.1 through SLES10, and never have I seen an installation procedure that would write to anything on the hard drive without asking first. This certainly violates the Principle of Least Surprise. Bill -- INTERNET: bill(a)celestial.com Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E.

New mysql for the CentOSPlus repository includes mysql-cluster
by Johnny Hughes 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

CentOS has been distributing the Enterprise version of MySQL as part of our CentOS Web Stack that is in the CentOSPlus repository of CentOS-4 for quite a while. http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus/CentOSWebStack MySQL has recently changed it's policy concerning the distribution of it's Enterprise Sources (they no longer distribute them as a tarball): http://www.linux.com/feature/118489 CentOS has also had problems getting Red Hat to distribute their GPL'ed SRPM to us for the Enterprise MySQL version of their Red Hat Web Application Stack (due to an agreement between MySQL and Red Hat): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230412 However, as you have come to expect from the CentOS project ... we did not take these answers to mean that we would not be able to get the Enterprise Sources for MySQL and distribute enterprise grade RPMS to our customers. I would like to publicly thank Proven Scaling, LLC <http://www.provenscaling.com/> (and specifically Jeremy Cole) for continuing to provide the GPL'ed tarball in question. Because of their efforts and because of the organization that they contribute to known as Dorsal Source <http://www.dorsalsource.org/> we will continue to be be able to easily provide the CentOS community with updated enterprise RPMS for MySQL. I would also like to personally recommend Proven Scaling, LLC for any and all MySQL related work that you might need to have accomplished, they are good people :D That said, the latest version of MySQL that we are building for the CentOS Web Stack has a package called mysql-cluster. It was added upstream in version 5.0.40 of the upstream product and this (mysql-cluster-5.0.48-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm and mysql-cluster-5.0.48-1.el4.centos.x86_64.rpm) is it's first appearance in the CentOS Web Stack. The mysql-cluster files are produced by adding this switch to the compile mysql configuration statement: --with-ndbcluster For information about how you would use mysql-cluster, please see this mysql documentation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-cluster.html This new mysql-cluster package is not required for normal mysql operations, and will be available also for CentOS-5 from the testing repository soon. NOTE: for anyone who wants to upgrade their MySQL in CentOS-4, you need to follow this guide if moving from the standard CentOS-4 (mysql-4.1.x) to the CentOS webstack (mysql-5.0.x): http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/upgrade.html Thanks, Johnny Hughes

So I have given below rules. iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -d 192.168.101.30 -m multiport --dports 3478,4569,5060 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -d 192.168.101.30 --dport 10000:20000 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.4 -m multiport --dports 3478,4569,5060 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.101.30 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 10000:20000 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.101.30 pls assume 1.2.3.4 is the ip that connects to the internet. I use Xlite sotphone to talk. I can register. it says user ready. I can dial extentions as well. But , WHEN I talk , Both parties can not hear anyrhing. in rtp.conf file, PORT 10000 to 20000 are also available. Hope to hear from you. -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

Migrating from RHEL5 to CentOS-5 -- little report
by Joachim Backes 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, Starting with http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS3 I wanted to test how to migrate my x86_64 machine from in installed RHEL5 (fully updated) to the current CentOS5 without reinstalling. The steps I had to do were: 1. steps in RHEL5: a. yum clean all b. installing RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5.htm from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/ (by rpm) c. installing by rpm from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/ the rpm's centos-release centos-release-notes redhat-logos yum partially I had to use the --force option for rpm. d. Trying yum upgrade. This step failed with the error msg: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error Message: Your account does not have access to any channels matching (release='5', arch='x86_64-redhat-linux') If you have a registration number, please register with it first at http://www.redhat.com/apps/activate/ and then try again. Error Class Code: 19 Error Class Info: Architecture and OS version combination is not supported. Explanation: An error has occurred while processing your request. If this problem persists please enter a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com. If you choose to submit the bug report, please be sure to include details of what you were trying to do when this error occurred and details on how to reproduce this problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I found out that files in /etc/sysconfig/rhn were responsible for this behaviour, so i uninstalled rhn-client-tools (from RHEL5) using the --justdb option and moving /etc/sysconfig/rhn to /etc/sysconfig/rhn.bak. Because /etc/sysconfig/rhn belongs to the centos-release package too, I made a re-install of this package. e. Now I could run yum upgrade which upgraded my system to CentOS-5 without any error msg. f. reboot into CentOS 2. Steps in CentOS a. the grub entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst were not updated: The title commands had to be changed to Centos, but re-installing the kernel had the same effect. b. Booting into initmode 5 and trying a graphical login failed because of missing themes (/usr/share/gdm/themes/CentOSCubes/CentOSCubes.xml) which belong to the redhat-artwork package. After reinstalling this package all OK. 3. The time I needed for migrating: about 15 Min. I think this time may be reduced if all pitfalls are known _before_ starting the migration. Any issues?

php 5.2
by Melinda Odom 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, I was asking about php 5.2 because I would like to use this program with these requirements: http://www.magentocommerce.com/system-requirements This ecommerce store is built with the zend framework and requires php 5.2. Mcrypt is not in the centos mirrors either. I did manage to get this beta ecommerce store installed on php 5.1.6-12 by removing the mycript line in the install xml file and also changing the initial install page code to not be less than 5.1 I wouldn't think this would be good to do for a production program. I would prefer to stay with the centos mirror as this is what I have setup. Hopefully centos will have php 5.2 in the future. Thanks!

Unable to POST after suspend
by Mark Rosenstand 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, I just tried the live CD for CentOS 5.0 on a desktop computer and decided to see if suspend worked. It seems it did, but I'm unable to start the machine again. It's a DIY system with an Asus K8V-X motherboard[1], an AMD Clawhammer 3200+ and 1 GB of Kingston ECC RAM. The system has been perfectly stable despite being utterly abused on a daily basis for almost 3 years. I've tried: - unplug power cord - reset CMOS - remove BIOS battery - remove all RAM When resetting the CMOS, the CPU FAN and hard drives power up, which it has never done before (IIRC). This is the only way I can get anything to power on, there's no reaction whatsoever when I hit the power or reset buttons. Please don't tell me that clicking a button in a GUI menu has broken my favourite testing PC permanently. Any hints would be very appreciated.

You could then preserve the IP addresses for both your internal and external addresses.

Document Scanning and Storage
by Dennis McLeod 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

I'd like to start scanning our boxed up documents. I'd say about 30,000 files total. Mostly to eliminate the boxes of paper we have. I'd like to scan them, store them, Have some sort of index, and be able to retrieve them on multiple machines. I think PDF would be the desired format. I'd like be able to set some permissions as well. (not a deal breaker...) I've searched Sourceforge, and have seen knowledgetree, myDMS, contineo, etc, but really would like to hear from someone that is using something similar. Of course, I use Centos, so..... Thanks, Dennis

Centos Router
by Graham Johnston 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

With the current discuss of "Performance of CentOS as a NAT gateway", I am curious how many people out there are using CentOS as a Router/Firewall in an enterprise or service provider environment. For myself I am not really concerned about NAT just a stateful firewall. The other half of my questions is about performance. I have read many articles and posts on the net about performance tuning but they all seem to be about tuning a single host, not a router. Does any have any tips in this area? Is tuning even required. For the sake of the conversation lets assume I am referring to CentOS 5. Graham Johnston Manager, Network Services Westman Communications Group 204.571.7225 johnstong(a)westmancom.com

Please pardon the cross-posting to centos-users - in case others may be interested. Did a fresh install of CentOS-5 x86_64 on my server with Areca RAID (2 5TB RAID-5 arrays) with the OS on mirrored SCSI disks set up as software RAID-1 using Karanbir's dd ISO image. Used custom install and mounted the existing Areca RAID arrays as /data1 and /data2 (as they were for CentOS-4 - originally set up by the vendor with RHEL-4). Install and reboot went flawlessly, but after update to the latest kernel a reboot did not find the driver for kernel-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 and left me in single-user mode. Copied /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/updates/arcmsr.ko created by the original installation to /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko did "depmod -a" and "modprobe arcmsr" and the Areca devices then mounted. I'm a newbie to weak-updates so would appreciate it if anyone could point out the "right way" [TM] to do this automagically when a new kernel is installed. Perhaps my google-foo is off today, or I have not exercised sufficient diligence to RTFM, but can't seem to find the recipe. Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Wanted to try the dkms approach and the spec file below (based on RPMforge dkms-r1000.spec) worked for me. Installing the resulting RPM created /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/extra/arcmsr.ko, made a soft link to it as /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko, and removed /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko Should probably have figured out how to use the original ZIP archive from the vendor ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/Linux/DRIVER/CentOS/CentOS-5.0/1.20.0X.13/arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13.zip in the spec, but instead cheated and created a .tgz archive from it to stay closer to the r1000 spec file's approach: $ tar ztvf arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13.tgz drwxrwxr-x prs/prs 0 2006-12-22 17:52:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/ drwxrwxr-x prs/prs 0 2006-12-22 17:52:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/ -rw-rw-r-- prs/prs 96956 2006-11-08 16:59:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/arcmsr.c -rw-rw-r-- prs/prs 377113 2006-11-08 16:59:00 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/arcmsr.h -rw-rw-r-- prs/prs 149 2005-07-21 19:10:00 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/Makefile Have yet to have a go at packaging the vendor's binary (CLI and HTTP) files in an RPM (reference earlier nosrc.rpm discussions in this thread), but did create a chkconfig-compatible script to set up the httpd service after a manual install.

CentOS 5 on IA64
by James A. Peltier 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hi All, I am looking for information on when CentOS 5 will be available for IA64. I found this forum posting but no responses http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8714&forum=45 I am looking to perform a large migration of about 500 workstations from various Suse and Red Hat versions to CentOS to standardize some what. Because I have to support x86 (32 & 64) and IA64 it would be nice to do this all at once. I know that CentOS 4.5 supports all the platforms listed, but if it's going to come out soon I'll just wait as it offers my users a lot more in terms of packages and support. BTW: Anyone out there have CentOS on SGI Altix? -- James A.

Mcrypt is not in the centos mirrors either. I did manage to get this beta ecommerce store installed on php 5.1.6-12 by removing the mycript line in the install xml file and also changing the initial install page code to not be less than 5.1 I wouldn't think this would be good to do for a production program. I would prefer to stay with the centos mirror as this is what I have setup. Hopefully centos will have php 5.2 in the future. Thanks!

This repository works fine. But, be aware that it replaces large portions of your system, including system libraries. It doesn't touch the kernel, which is one reason I use it on several desktops. It gives you a much updated userland with the stable kernel base. But, if you across a bug in one of the libraries KDE-Rehat replaces, you will hten need to take it up with the KDE-Redhat maintainer and not file it as a bug report in CentOS. -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 17:12:19 +0200 From: Lorenzo <lorenzo(a)gmk.it> Subject: [CentOS] Centos 4.5 clamav update error To: centos(a)centos.org Message-ID: <46E55ED3.9060403(a)gmk.it> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Hi all, I have a problem updating clamav on my mail server: Error: Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by package clamav Error: Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by package clamd Error: Missing Dependency: rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by package clamav Error: Missing Dependency: rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by package clamd I'm using rpmforge repo on CentOS 4.5, everything else is up to date.

You're using the rpmforge repository for CentOS 5 on CentOS 4.5. This will and cannot work. Ralph

If you're installing in an LPAR you'll need to use the HMC to boot install media from CD-ROM or tape. Under VM, you can use a CMS profile disk to move the initial boot files onto DASD, then run a REXX exec to punch them to a virtual RDR and then re-ipl. Once the install-time kernel has started, you need to drive the install via SSH, or remote X or VNC (I forget which mechanisms RHEL supports) and it needs to use either a physical interface or a guest LAN interface, IUCV or VCTC to do that as well as download the installation packages. Once installation is done, I don't know what resources would be required to rebuild the entire distro - that's where the developers come in. And obiously another LPAR or VM guest would be required to test the built 5.0 system. Best, --- Les Bell, RHCE, CISSP [http://www.lesbell.com.au] Tel: +61 2 9451 1144 FreeWorldDialup: 800909
