my fonts look horrible (centos5.3/xfce)
by Ryan Pugatch 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

Hi all, I can't seem to get my fonts to look decent under CentOS. I was able to make them look pretty good under Ubuntu, but for the life of me I can't make them look decent on CentOS.

virtual ftp users, web permissions
by Dave 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

Hello, I'm running CentOS 5.3. I've got an ftp server set up a pure ftpd server using virtualchroot so that sym links are followed. One user i'll call him user1 in the ftpuser/ftpgroup which is the user and group the server is running under has a symlink in his home directory pointing to the documentroot of a web site. I've got the sticky bit set on the documentroot and have permissions set so that users in the webdev group can write to this area, the pure-ftpd virtual user, which is a system user with a password in /etc/passwd, is in this group. On upload the user1 can upload to the web documentroot. However, the server is unable to display the pages. On checking the status of the uploaded file i see that permissions are not sticky instead of being owned and in a group of apache:webdev which is what they should be permissions are ftpuser:ftpgroup with permission bits 600 which means there's no way the web server will see these files. If i haven't lost anyone options for simplifying this would be appreciated, and suggestions as what i can try to get the permissions to be able to be set up in the docroot. Thanks. Dave.

Need httpd / apache RPM > 2.2.3 for 5.3
by Alan McKay 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

Hey folks, It looks to me like the httpd on CentOS is stuck at 2.2.2 - what's up with that? Even after a yum upgrade. I need 2.2.10 or greater, and would prefer to get it via yum or at very last an RPM if at all possible. But I cannot even find an RPM out there. For some reason both EPEL and Dag Wieers do not even seem to have an httpd RPM for RHEL5 Any idea where to look? Why are we stuck at 2.2.3 which was a 2006 release? thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

upcoming DRBD updates in CentOS Extras for CentOS 4 and 5
by Johnny Hughes 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

Ralph Angenendt, Fabian Arrotin, Akemi Yagi and I have been working on new DRBD packages for CentOS Extras. We have some packages that have been tested in the testing repository. LinBit has discontinued their 8.2 tree, so drbd83 will replace drbd82 in both CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 extras. DRBD 0.7.25 will remain in CentOS 4, however it gets no upstream support and I would recommend you upgrade to drbd83 after we release the upgrades if you are using drbd 0.7.25. DRBD 8.3.2 will also be released for CentOS 4, replacing the current drbd82-8.2.6. DRBD 8.0.x will remain part of the CentOS 5 extras and will be upgraded to 8.0.16. DRBD 8.3.2 will also be released for CentOS 5, replacing the current drbd82-8.2.6. I have done a post with a basic outline on how to do these upgrades: http://centosnow.blogspot.com/2009/08/drbd-packages-in-centos-4-and-centos-… I expect this release will happen sometime next week, before September 5th. In fact, the file will be on the centos mirrors, just the metadata will not be run for a couple days, so you can get the RPMs if you want from there. This is a heads up so you are ready and expecting the update and have had a few days to plan. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

CentOS Mirrors and Adjacent country groups
by Johnny Hughes 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

CentOS has developed our own mirrorlist and isolist applications and inside this application, we have some countries that we shift to other countries and we also have some country groups defined. The purpose of these groupings is to have adjacent countries grouped together for applications like fastest mirror and others. I will put here what we currently have and ask the community to vet the list for us to make it better. Our major (large) groups are: us - North eu - Europe ap - Asia Pacific oc - Oceania af - Africa sa - South America c1 - (Use High Bandwidth, don't know location) Here is our current countries "with mirrors" to large group list (1st variable is CC, 2nd is Group Code): ar => 'sa', at => 'eu', au => 'oc', ba => 'eu', be => 'eu', bg => 'eu', br => 'sa', c1 => 'c1', c2 => 'eu', c3 => 'ap', c4 => 'us', ca => 'us', ch => 'eu', cl => 'sa', cn => 'ap', cr => 'sa', cz => 'eu', de => 'eu', dk => 'eu', ee => 'eu', es => 'eu', fi => 'eu', fr => 'eu', gb => 'eu', ge => 'eu', gr => 'eu', hk => 'ap', hu => 'eu', id => 'oc', ie => 'eu', il => 'af', in => 'ap', is => 'eu', it => 'eu', jp => 'ap', kr => 'ap', kz => 'ap', lt => 'eu', lu => 'eu', md => 'eu', my => 'oc', nl => 'eu', no => 'eu', nz => 'oc', ph => 'ap', pl => 'eu', pr => 'us', pt => 'eu', ro => 'eu', ru => 'ap', se => 'eu', sg => 'ap', si => 'eu', sk => 'eu', th => 'ap', tr => 'eu', tw => 'ap', ua => 'eu', us => 'us', vn => 'ap', za => 'af', ===================================================== We have created some smaller groups for each mirror country: ar => 'br-cl-cr-pr-us', at => 'de-ch-lu-fr-cz-sk-hu-it', au => 'nz-sg-tw-kr-jp', ba => 'it-hu-bg-si-ro', be => 'fr-nl-de-lu-gb', bg => 'gr-ro-tr-it-md', br => 'pr-cl-ar-cr-us', c1 => 'c1', c2 => 'c2', c3 => 'c3', ca => 'us-is', ch => 'de-nl-be-fr', cl => 'pr-br-ar-cr-us', cn => 'tw-kr-sg-jp-ru', cr => 'br-cl-ar-pr-us', cz => 'pl-sk-de-at', de => 'be-ch-fr-nl-dk-gb', dk => 'de-se-nl-fi-no', ee => 'fi-ru-lt-pl-se-no', es => 'pt-fr-de-gb', fi => 'se-dk-no-de-nl', fr => 'de-nl-ch-be-es', gb => 'ie-nl-de-fr', ge => 'tr-eg', gr => 'tr-bg-it-ro', hk => 'cn-tw-ph-vn-th', hu => 'at-ro-si-sk-ba', id => 'sg-my-ph-au-vn', ie => 'gb-nl-de', il => 'it-tr-gr-bg', in => 'in-bd-vn-hk-sg-cn', is => 'gb-no-se-ca', it => 'de-ch-fr-lu-at-si', jp => 'sg-cn-kr-tw-ru', kr => 'jp-cn-tw-sg-ru', kz => 'ru-tr', lt => 'pl-ro-no-ee-de', lu => 'de-nl-be-fr', md => 'ro-ua-bg-si', my => 'id-sg-au-th-vn', nl => 'de-dk-gb-be-fr', no => 'se-fi-dk-de-nl', nz => 'au-sg-jp-tw', ph => 'vn-my-sg-id-au', pl => 'cz-ua-de-se-si', pr => 'cl-br-us-cr', pt => 'es-fr-de-gb', ro => 'at-de', ru => 'fi-cn-kr-jp', se => 'no-fi-dk-de-nl', sg => 'my-id-ph-au-th', si => 'it-md-at-ba-hu', sk => 'cz-hu-pl-md-at', th => 'cn-vn-my-sg-ph-hk', tr => 'gr-it-de-bg-ro', tw => 'cn-kr-sg-jp', ua => 'pl-ro-cz-de-md', us => '', vn => 'ph-sg-my-hk-cn', za => 'il-br-tr-es-in', This is our list of adjacent countries, so if you are in PH, you will first get mirrors in conutry (PH), then from the small group (VN, CN, TW ), THEN from the large group (AP), THEN back filled from C1.

favicon.ico and robots.txt
by Dave 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

Hello, I'm running an apache 2.2 webserver on centos 5.3. I'm seeing frequent requests for robots.txt and favicon.ico from the logs those files should be in the document root area. What are these files, is this something the rpm installs, or do i have to retrieve or generate them? Thanks. Dave.

RPM complaining it needs .so files, while these are actually present
by RedShift 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

Hello When I try to install a package I built myself (java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.16-1jpp.x86_64.rpm - took the java-1.6.0 srpm from jpackage and bumped the version number), it complains: Error: Missing Dependency: libodbcinst.so()(64bit) is needed by package java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.16-1jpp.x86_64 (java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.16-1jpp.x86_64.rpm) Error: Missing Dependency: libodbc.so()(64bit) is needed by package java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.16-1jpp.x86_64 (java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.16-1jpp.x86_64.rpm) However, I definately have these files: [root@centos5 x86_64]# ls -l /usr/lib64/libodbcinst* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 270528 Jan 7 2007 /usr/lib64/libodbcinst.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1038232 Jan 7 2007 /usr/lib64/libodbcinstQ.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 29 20:59 /usr/lib64/libodbcinst.so -> libodbcinst.so.1.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 29 20:58 /usr/lib64/libodbcinst.so.1 -> libodbcinst.so.1.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 78088 Jan 7 2007 /usr/lib64/libodbcinst.so.1.0.0 [root@centos5 x86_64]# (I left out libodbc*, I have these files as well but it would be too much and useless to post here) Why isn't the dependency management realizing I have the files needed? Thanks, Best regards, Glenn

Run GNU screen as a normal user
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

Hi guys, I am currently looking for a workaround with regards to running screen as a normal user. When I try to run it, I get the following: [mbaluyos@mla torrents]$ screen Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check. To get around this, I had to chmod 777 /dev/pts/0. It's an insecure hack so I'm looking for the right way of doing it. Would anyone be able to guide me as to how I can run screen the way normal users should run it? This behavior just seemed to happen with CentOS 5.3. I remember not running into such issues on an older CentOS/screen version. Thanks in advance, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.
