Strange misbehavior from system-config-printer on CentOS 5.5
by Mark 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

I had to print a file directly from my VMWare Windows XP guest to my Brother laser printer and now I can't run system-config-printer. The file was one of those screwy PDFs that even Adobe Reader 9.3.2 can't print on my CentOS (there's something in the file that inhibits the printing). Occasionally I've been able to get around this in the past by using the GIMP to reformat some pages in such files, but this one is 56 pages and I needed to print the whole thing. I tried printing it through the PDFCreator on the Windows guest, but that PDF also would not print. I tried printing it to a file on both the CentOS host in AR and the Windows guest (also with AR), but the resulting PS file is unreadable - the document viewer shows "Keyed info" on every page and nothing else. So, I used the VMWare Removable Devices feature to attach the printer to the Windows guest and the file printed fine. In the past, this has forced me to power off the printer for CentOS to be able to use it again, and I did that, too, but not right away. First I tried to print a test page with CUPS. That failed, so I canceled the print job. Then I tried to start system-config-printer - nothing. I got the security shield on my panel but no s-c-p window. I unpublished the printer and stopped it with CUPS, power cycled it, then re-started and re-published it. This time CUPS was able to print the test page, but s-c-p seems to be dead. The most I get is a small window marker on the panel that says "Starting Printing" and then it goes away. I didn't see anything relevant in the /var/log logs, but I'm not sure which log to look in. Any ideas on what happened? Thanks. Mark

wget and resulting filenames with mirror option
by Joseph L. Casale 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

I am trying to mirror a directory using wget and the resulting files as expected are taking the name of the string in the url after the last "/". Anyone know a way around this? I am using the mirror option so I don't have to keep track of what to get making it simple. Thanks! jlc

CentOS 5.5/i386/32-bit CD installation hickups
by Boris Epstein 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hello listmates, I've got a few older 32-bit PC's that only have a CD drive (no DVD). So I downloaded all the ISO's and I thought I'd install CentOS 5.5 on this 1.25 GB P-3 (I think, don't remember what CPU it's got right off hand, not that it should matter). So I tried it there, got a fatal exception. OK, no problem - thinking that maybe something was wrong with that machine I decided to try it on a different one, a P-3 with 384 MB or RAM. Same thing happened. So here's my question: has anybody successfully installed CentOS 5.5 on a 32-bit machine (i386) using individual CD's as their installation media? Thanks. Boris.

mod_whatkilledus on Centos 5
by Steve Campbell 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

I'm getting those generic segmentation faults on a Centos 5 htpd 2.2.3-11 webserver. So far, I've not been able to track down what might be close to causing this. I've read about mod_whatkilledus, but don't know if I can install this in any way on my server or if it's still even valid. Has anyone used this? How was it installed, if so? I don't really want to start messing with configuring httpd, so I'd like to keep this simple and RPM-based if at all possible. Thanks, Steve Campbell

System Admin
by Haluk AKIN 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hello, I have this website hosted on a CENTOS box. I would like to find someone who can: -monitor the server (and even monitor MySQL if possible) -optimize it -fix problems -manage backups -migrate it to another hosting company if that is necessary. I understand openlogic might offer some of the services above. I already contacted them and waiting for a reply. But I thought maybe someone here can offer me some advice on this matter. I cannot afford a full-time system admin. But I should be able to afford 1-2 days a week. Thanks, Haluk

Enabling X on headless server via network

Hi all. I need to run X on a headless server, and I am having a hard time configuring null devices in xorg.conf. Here are the server's vital stats as per the getinfo.sh script on centos.org: http://pastebin.centos.org/33908 When I try to start X: [root@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]# startx xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.11196 X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-53.el5 i686 Red Hat, Inc.

Php 5.2.x support ends
by Bob Hoffman 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Thinking of just sitting on this for awhile? Thoughts? Last release for PHP 5.2 & updates for 5.3 PHP Logo The users of PHP 5.2 should upgrade to 5.3 at their earliest convenience, as the active support of the 5.2 series came to an end with the release of version 5.2.14 earlier today. PHP 5.2.0 was released almost four years ago and according to the release announcement, http://www.php.net/archive/2010.php#id2010-07-22-1 the developers say that, in future, any further security fixes will only be released on a case-by-case basis. Version 5.2.14 fixes about 60 flaws, some of which present security risks such as potential memory leaks in string functions. PHP 5.3.3 was released http://www.php.net/archive/2010.php#id2010-07-22-2 at the same time, containing approximately 100 bug fixes. Among the security-relevant bugs are buffer overflows in the native MySQL driver. This release also contains an incompatible change which concerns methods with the same name as the last element of a namespaced class name. PHP no longer treats such methods as constructors, instead regarding them as arbitrary methods:
