httpd failed with a new install of 5.0
by Gregory P. Ennis 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Everyone, I have been working on a new installation of CentOS 5.0 on a x86_64 machine. The installation has gone well except for httpd. When I start httpd with LogLevel turned to debug all I get is an immediate failure with the following errors the logs: /var/log/httpd/error_log: [Sun Jul 22 13:00:31 2007] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) /var/log/ssl_error.log: [Sun Jul 22 13:04:32 2007] [warn] RSA server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?) [Sun Jul 22 13:04:32 2007] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `localhost.localdomain' does NOT match server name!? [Sun Jul 22 13:04:32 2007] [error] Unable to configure RSA server private key [Sun Jul 22 13:04:32 2007] [error] SSL Library Error: 185073780 error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch The ssl errors were present on the old system so I was not too worried about those. I turned off selinux with out a change in symptoms. I get the same errors whether I start the service via "service httpd start" or "httpd". When I use "httpd -E /tmp/errors.txt" the errors.txt file is created, but is empty. "httpd -t" responds with "Syntax OK" I have done a yum remove of the web server module, and have done a re-install using yum without a change in symptoms. I have not been able to figure out how to get more data in the logs; httpd seems to be failing too soon to record much. Anyone's ideas would sure be appreciated !!! Greg Ennis

setroubleshoot w/o X?
by drew einhorn 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi, I recently discovered setroubleshoot, a wonderful tool that helps diagnose and resolve selinux problems, even if you really do not understand selinux. I need to read up on selinux and get to where I understand it much better. I'm wondering if there is a text only version of setroubleshoot that runs on a minimal server configuration without X installed? -- Drew Einhorn

I always install kernels now instead of updating them. I understand the need to install rather than update kernels. Yum does this automatically for kernel, kernel-smp, kernel-bigmem, kernel-enterprise, kernel-debug, and kernel-unsupported. Wait...I had the files backwards. The NEW version of the yum.conf has the installonly line I was wondering about. I thought it was something that I might have done previously, but apparently it's a new default setting in the yum package. In that case, I'll just use the new one. Sorry for the confusion. -- Bowie

SOLVED: Re: [CentOS] KStars on CentOS 4.4?
by Lanny Marcus 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I was able to install the kdeedu RPM, from the Fedora Core 3 Install DVD, without any problem, on my CentOS 4.4 box and KStars is up and running and has been updated. :-) The bad news is that I didn't learn anything, by doing it this quick and simple way, so now I'm going to begin reading about creating my own RPMs. When I get the CentOS 5.0 install DVD, that will be another issue for getting KStars installed. Thanks to those who responded! KStars is a very powerful and a very elegant program, for anyone interested in Astronomy. Lanny

Best way to have Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 on Centos 4.4?
by M. Fioretti 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Greetings, I would like to install Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 (I need support for SASL authentication via Dovecot) on a Centos 4.4 server. I have already found rpm packages at http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/ and pages about using the centosplus repo for postfix. Before launching rpm or yum, however, I'd like to ask the list which way you think is the best way to do this. By "best" I mean the way which: * has no known issues, gotchas, extra configuration tricks... * has as little extra dependencies as possible * can be maintained/upgraded with yum Thank you in advance for any feedback!

Is installonly option needed?
by Bowie Bailey 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I just updated to the most recent version of yum. I noticed that my yum.conf file had changed. The old one has: installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-devel kernel-smp-devel kernel-largesmp kernel-largesmp-devel kernel-hugemem kernel-hugemem-devel The new one does not have this option listed. I don't remember if that was a default setting or if I added it in. Do I need that line to be there? I noticed that without it, yum will perform an update on kernel-hugemem-devel and kernel-smp-devel. Is this a problem? Thanks, -- Bowie

Scott: This is going to be a huge *LEARNING* experience for me! :-) Many *newbie* questions here: Will it be better for me to get KStars only, from the KStars web site, which comes with a warning (see below), or from Fedora, which is much closer to CentOS? The problem is that it normally is inside the KDE Edutainment RPM and if I get it from Fedora, it will probably be inside that. If I get the KDE Edutainment SRC RPM from Fedora, which version of Fedora should I get it from for CentOS 4.4? (You wrote FC6 for CentOS 5). The kdeedu RPM is not on the CentOS 4.4 DVD. I'm assuming it's not on the CentOS 5.0 DVD, but I don't have that yet. If I'm able to make an RPM for KStars only, I would not plan to install kdeedu later. However, I suspect there may be dependency issues, with other KDE stuff, etc. There is *no* way I will be able to get my wife to use CentOS on her box, if she cannot use KStars! Even my 6 year old daughter wanted to use KStars last night, so her box is another demanding KStars user.

Sound setup on ASUS laptop (Intel High Definition soundcard)
by Niki Kovacs 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi, I just got a brand-new ASUS laptop, a W6F light laptop. So far I managed to get everything to work (wireless, X, ...). The only thing that stubbornly refuses to work is the sound. Here's the sound card: # lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) I googled quite a bit for this. Some folks suggested to put an addition options line in /etc/modprobe.conf. Here are some of the suggestions: options snd-hda-intel model=asus ... or: options snd-hda-intel model=asus-laptop ... or: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=asus I tried all these (and duly rebooted after each attempt), but to no avail. Usually, to test the sound, I open a terminal and try to play one of the test sounds in /usr/share/sounds/alsa with the command-line 'aplay'. Anyone got that sound card to work? Any suggestions? I'm quite clueless. Cheers, Niki

drive to standby after idle timeout?
by Brian 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I'd like to to put the hard drives in standby mode during periods of no activity. I'm just running a file server plus a couple small things on a Qube 3 from home, although the web stuff will increase it's still minimal. On my NetBSD systems I can use atactl to do this via: mount -u -o async,noatime,nodevmtime / mount -u -o async,noatime /usr atactl wd0 setidle 5 [wait a time] # atactl wd0 checkpower Current power status: Standby mode I looked at smartctl but it doesn't look like I can set idle time with it, just readout status and perform self-tests. Is there a way? Thanks! Brian

EPEL Packages announcement
by redhat＠mckerrs.net 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Just received a fedora email with the following announcement. Seems interesting; =================================== If you use enterprise-class Linux (EL) distributions derived from Fedora, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, we have something very exciting for you. Ever find yourself rebuilding one of the high-quality Fedora packages for your EL version because it didn't ship with the EL distro? Friends, there is a new way. May we introduce ... Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) EPEL is a community of package maintainers working from inside of Fedora. Many are the same people who maintain the Fedora version. Yet, there room for new packages and contributors. Currently, around 1000 packages are available, and we've been growing at the rate of several dozen packages every week. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL How to use EPEL: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse You can look for packages here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#WhereIsTheSoftwareRepositoryLocated Looking for a package not in EPEL or other questions? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ ==================================================== -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Vmware on Centos 5

I'm sure there are people running server 1.0.3 on centos 5, what I'd like to know is, if you are using it then; are you using a 64bit centos 5 host ? are you using core-2 duo cpu ? and if so, are you suffering from any guest clock/time issues ? I've read the vmware timekeeping pdf and tried all of their 'workarounds' and none seem to work. I'm suffering these issues on a ubuntu box running 7.0.4 but I'm looking for an excuse to migrate to centos 5 for this particular server. Hopefully there are already a good number of people running 64bit with large quantaties of RAM (>=4g) Cheers. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

MRTG with 14all.cgi on centos 5
by Indunil Jayasooriya 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi, I have setup MRTG with 14all.cgi cgi script. I downloaded it from below URL. http://my14all.sourceforge.net/14all-1.1.txt and did only below 3 changes to that file. those can be seen in BOLDletters. # if MRTG_lib.pm (from mrtg) is not in the module search path (@INC) # uncomment the following line and change the path appropriatly: #use lib qw(/usr/local/mrtg-2/lib/mrtg2); use lib qw(/usr/lib/mrtg2); # if RRDs (rrdtool perl module) is not in the module search path (@INC) # uncomment the following line and change the path appropriatly # or use a LibAdd: setting in the config file #use lib qw(/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.38/lib/perl); use lib qw(/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi); ### where the mrtg.cfg file is # anywhere in the filespace #$cfgfile = '/home/mrtg/mrtg.cfg'; $cfgfile = '/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg'; # relative to the script #$cfgfile = 'mrtg.cfg'; # use this so 14all.cgi gets the cfgfile name from the script name #(14all.cgi -> 14all.cfg) #$cfgfile = ''; Everything works fine. But, i need to custumise it as I want to. if I cliclk below URL. http://ipaddress/cgi-bin/14all.cgi I get the first page with the graph. If I clik it I get another page with four graphs. I want to edit the first graph. (Daily graph) I want to edit the time slot in that graph (i.e X axis) It shows 12:00 , 00:00 and 12.00. I am sending herewith my daily graph (5 minute Average). pls view it. when it gives 12 hour period, I find it difficlut to read. So I want to get it displayed in 6 hour period. something like 12:00 18:00 00:00 6:00 12:00 in X axis. Then, I find it easier to read it. Can you help me to edit this cgi script. -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

Is FUSE enabled in centos5 ?
by Narasimha Valiveti 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hello, I noticed FUSE is not there by default disabled on centos 5. Is there a separate RPM that includes FUSE module for the same kernel as of centos 5 ?. I have installed the latest centos 5 update, don't see FUSE enabled . [root@xx]# pwd /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/source [root@xx]# grep FUSE .config # CONFIG_FUSE_FS is not set [root@xx]# I checked both addons and centosplus, it doesn't seem to be their also. Any comments where I can find the FUSE module already built for centos 5 kernels (FYI, I really don't want to build a FUSE module by myself, which is what I am doing right now !) ?. Thanks for the help, - vnr PS: Sorry, if you are getting multiple posts, my earlier post somehow got lost !.

Major problem with software raid
by ajulvestad 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Ok, this is the case: I've got two raid-5 arrays with software raid, both with three disks. Setup: md0 has hdb2, hdd1 and sda1 md1 has hdb5, hdd3 and sda3 Tonight, the system lost power due to a power spike. The result was a reboot where it attempted to fix the raid, but it didn't exactly work. I have now booted a live CD and using utilities there. It seems the checksum value is slightly off for all disks. And the update time is the same for some disks, but not all. When I try mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 (or md0) with various options like force, scan, auto, etc - I get error messages like only 1 drive found, not enough.. no disks found and no mention of md0/1 found in config file. What should I do? Which partitions (two in each array) do I pick as "these two are the one I should rebuild with"? And how do I actually FORCE mdadm to start an array with those two set devices? See files in http://gandalf.n4f.no/~aj/md/ for output from mdadm. Assistance deeply appreciated...

source rpms for fedora
by Dave 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hello, I'm running centos5. There's some rpms that exist on fedora that are not in centos5 in it's repos. I was wondering if it was possible to set up yum to get only selected packages in source rpm form ou of a fedora repo and install them on centos? In that way they could be recompiled for centos5. Thanks. Dave.

I was able to do this with a live CD of CentOS 4, but it seems the same procedure does not work for the new version. Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Any and all thoughts are apprecicated!

CentOS based router dropping connections
by Jesse Cantara 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hello, I am trying to figure out a problem I'm having using CentOS on a machine as a router. The short story is: any traffic routed through the router seems to get disconnected at random occasionally. The hardware setup is: I have two switches, the router sits between them, the webserver on the LAN switch. The machine I'm using for the router is a Dell 860 1U rackmount with two NICs, one NIC on the internet, one NIC on the LAN. The routing setup is: I'm using IPTABLES for routing, with the following command: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -i eth1 --dport 6680 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.10:80 Basically, I'm forwarding port 6680 on to the webserver (.10) on the LAN. What I have tested so far: If I'm at the router, I can download files from the webserver just fine, so the webserver setup and physical connection is OK. If I'm at the router, I can download files from the internet just fine, so the physical connection to the outside is OK as well. If I'm on the outside of the router (on the internet) I can download files directly from the router just fine. The issue is when I try to download a file from the webserver via the router (port 6680). It will work sometimes, but other times it will randomly disconnect me, at random points during the download. Watching the traffic on a packet-sniffer shows that right before the download fails, my client computer trying to download the file keeps resending "ACK" messages, the router keeps sending the next sequence of packets, and eventually the router sends a bunch of "RST" packets. There aren't any strange messages in /var/log/messages or dmesg in either the router or the webserver I need some help diagnosing this problem. Here's some info about the router: CentOS 5 latest kernel 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 iptables v1.3.5 I've tried testing as much as I can before asking for help, but I'm at the end of what I know to try. Any leads as to where to look to diagnose, or what might cause this would help. Thanks in advance, -Jesse

And that is the clue I needed. My base repository is still coming from the CentOS 4.4 CD isos via mrepo. I need to upgrade those isos to 4.5 and then everything should work properly. -- Bowie

Problems printing multi-page emails to SMB printer HP1120C
by Andrew Allen 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

I have a SMB printer on my network (HP1120C connected to a Windows XP machine). CUPS test page printed OK (CUPS v1.1.x) so printer appears to be installed and set up correctly for printing from my CentOS 5 machine. Problem is when I try to print multi-page emails, I get an unspecified error after printing the first page and it won't print any more pages - in fact it just keeps printing the first page and also rubbish! The print log on my CentOS machine says the printing is completed but on the Windows machine it says there is an error. I never had this problem when I was using RedHat9 - any suggestions would be much appreciated. Andy

Hi, I am still runnig Redhat 9 box with sendmail and squid. It is quite slow. It has only 128 MB RAM. So I upgraded it to 512 MB RAM. Now, It is running with 512 MB RAM. But, It is still slow. No progress has been achived. Some users say it is slower than before. Actually, I also have noticed it is NOW SLOWER than before. WHY IS THAT? SHOULD I NEED TO RECOMPILE THE KERNEL as I installed a new 512 MB RAM ? help needed? -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

NFS filesystem recommendations please (and problems with XFS)
by Patrick - South Valley Internet 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hello all, I am implementing a new mail server into our environment consisting of three machines - two Dell Opterons that will act as load balanced Postfix servers, and a 1.5TB RAID10 NFS server. All three machines are running CentOS 4.5. Since the NFS is going to be used for only mail, I was kicking around the idea to use XFS. I have CentOS installed on an ext3 partition, and with the leftover space on the NFS I created an XFS partition. I tried to implement XFS into the kernel, and was coming across some issues. Even after installing xfprogs and xfsprogs-devel, and issuing the command: yum --enable-plusrepos install kernel I booted up the kernel and still could not mount my XFS share. I keep getting this error: mount: fs type xfs not supported by kernel After googling around (and not finding out how to get XFS enabled in the kernel), people had some concerns about using XFS due to issues and it being about as fast as ext3. Also people said that I might run into issues with XFS if I run NFS+lvm+xfs+md but I'm not sure if I run lvm and md and if that applies to me. I found this benchmarking blog someone wrote that compares the speeds in Ubuntu with all the filesystems in a Postfix server environment (although it's not NFS): http://piao-tech.blogspot.com/2007/04/file-system-benchmarks-for-postfix-ma… With all this said, I'd like to use XFS, if it indeed is going to be the fastest for the solution I want to implement. If you guys can help me get that installed by telling me what I need - great! If you think XFS isn't going to work as efficiently and fast as I want it to, and there is another filesystem (such as ext3) that will be more stable and just as fast in my setup, I'm all ears. Thanks everyone in advance. Patrick

by Bowie Bailey 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

I haven't run any updates on my systems recently, but now I'm trying to get them up to date again. When I run a yum update, I get this error: Error: Missing Dependency: initscripts >= 7.93.26.EL-1 is needed by package httpd I did a Google search, but I didn't find anything relating directly to CentOS or RHEL and there was no fix suggested. If it makes a difference, I am running the update against a newly created mrepo repository. Any suggestions? -- Bowie

yum upgrade perl question
by Rogelio Bastardo 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

I'm looking to install n2rrd, which requires Perl 5.8.x (http://n2rrd.diglinks.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi) I see that lots of Perl stuff is installed. Do I just need to yum upgrade perl-libwww-perl-5.78.5 to the latest? Here's what I have installed perl-wise: [root@nagios-server nagios2cacti]# rpm -qa | grep perl perl-DBI-1.40-8 perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-30 perl-XML-Parser-2.34-5 perl-libxml-enno-1.02-31 perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-13 perl-Socket6-0.19-1.2.el4.rf perl-URI-1.30-4 newt-perl-1.08-7 perl-DateManip-5.42a-3 perl-HTML-Parser-3.35-6 perl-libwww-perl-5.79-5 perl-libxml-perl-0.07-30 perl-XML-Encoding-1.01-26 perl-Crypt-DES-2.05-3.2.el4.rf perl-Net-SNMP-5.2.0-1.2.el4.rf perl-rrdtool-1.2.23-1.el4.rf perl-5.8.8-4.el4s1 perl-DBD-Pg-1.49-1.el4s1 perl-Digest-SHA1-2.07-5 perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1 perl-Parse-Yapp-1.05-32 perl-XML-Dumper-0.71-2 mod_perl-1.99_16-4.5 perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0008-1.el4.centos [root@nagios-server nagios2cacti]#

Security checklist for new Centos server?
by M. Fioretti 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Greetings, everybody I've browsed around a bit, but there seems to be no single practical list of this kind. What would you do to make a new Centos server which must run apache, IMAP (Dovecot) and SMTP (PostFix) and nothing else for a few domains as secure from attacks as possible, using only standard RPM packages as much as possible? (Please note that choice of other IMAP and SMTP servers is not possible in my case, for a lot of reasons really not pertinent on the list, so let's not go there, please) Here's a first absolutely uncomplete draft off the top of my head: - remove as many unnecessary packages as possible (best way to find them?) - install dovecot (not included in centos, IIRC) and other extra packages you do need - run yum update - enable long passwords - set up only ssh2 on a non standard port - set up Single Packet Authorization? - set up itables (what would the safest iptables script to do all and only the services listed above? - what else? Feel free to rearrange, cut, add, give links, whatever: personally, I'm interested in securing the whole box, meaning how to glue things together in the safest possible way, without forgetting anything, while things like how to make Postfix not an open relay, for example, are already covered in detail in the Postfix docs.

scripts with the dialog command
by Jerry Geis 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Is there a way to send stdin information to a script that is using the dialog command? I tried echo -e "\n\n\n" | scriptname and this had no effect. I tried scriptname << EOF EOF and that had no effect. I am looking for a method that calling dialog within a script will obey stdin. Anyone have an idea. Jerry

possible corrupt rpm database
by Dave 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hello, I've got a centos5 box that at least has a dependency issue or a corrupt rpm database. I am open to suggestions as to how to proceed. I have added some extra repositories to my yum configuration, centosplus, rpmforge, atrpms, and the kbs repos. I haven't been having issues with installs or upgrades until today when i ran a yum update, and got a missing dependency error for zaptel, a perl dependency. I've tried doing a yum install for the package, but no success. The error is below and i am open to suggestions. Thanks. Dave. #yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Base Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Updates Finished Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Can we get a newer version of madwifi on rpmforge?
by Robert Moskowitz 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

RPMforge still has: rpmForge: madwifi-0.9.2.1-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm ATrpms has: madwifi-0.9.4-38_r2512.fc6.i386.rpm but requires their patched kernel. I am at IETF this week, and was at IEEE 802 last week. There are over 60 visible access points in most locations (actually not that may APs, but an SSID for b/g, another for a, another for 802.1x TKIP, another for 802.1x CCMP, argh!) and I think there are some serious table handling problems. It would be nice to be current with code...
