NameVirtualHost and CGI Problems
by Mike -- EMAIL IGNORED 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

On: Centos 5.2, with httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1.centos.3 I tried to bring up a web server using an httpd.con that runs well on: Fedora 8, with httpd-2.2.8-1.fc8 as well as several earlier versions, going back to Fedora 4. On the Centos version, I cannot successfully: run a NameVirtualHost; execute a CGI. I can bring up a simple page if I avoid the above. Suggestions would be much appresiated. Thanks, Mike.

Question about Mirrors
by Bo Lynch 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

I am trying to set up a local repo for my division. I tried to rsync 5.1 updates off the mirrors and recieved an error of no file or dir. After going to the mirror, I notice that all of the 5.1 filder is empty and there is a readme there that states..... This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated. For normal users, you should use /5/ and not /5.1/ in your path. Please see this FAQ concerning the CentOS release scheme: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34 If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 5.1 level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages. So I just want to make sure that I'm understanding this correct. I should use the 5.1 original RPMS for my base OS and get my updates for 5.1 from the 5 folder???? Just sounds weird. Should I do the same for my 5.0 release? Thanks for you help. -- Bo Lynch

Good [L]AMP tutorial for CentOS 5.2 ?
by Rene Fournier 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Being slightly familiar with BSD, I'm trying to get my feet wet with Linux, and was wondering if anyone can suggest a good walkthrough of setting up a CentOS server with Apache, PHP, and MySQL... I realize there are step-by-step guides of the sort "copy-this-line- paste-into-terminal-and-hit-enter", but I'd like to understand what's going on when I issue a single wget command and numerous packages and libraries start downloading.... Specifically: 1. Is there a "right" way to install software on Linux in general, an CentOS in particular? For example, the Package Manager on CentOS 5.2 allows you to install certain software, but often not the latest version. So if I go download MySQL 5.0.67 from the web, how do I install it and make it play nice with the rest of the system? Ditto for PHP 5.2.6. And once installed (either by the Package Manager -- and by the way, why are the apps it lists so out of date?), what's the best way to update PHP and MySQL? Is it simply a matter of downloading the binaries again and overwriting the existing install? On Mac OS X, such downloads come as .pkg files that seem to take care of so many details without requiring a trip to the command line. 2. Where should software, such as PHP, MySQL, Apache2, be installed? / usr/bin ? 3. Is it a bad idea to install some software from the command-line via wget, some software from the graphical Package Manager, and some software from the the web? What I mean is, so far it seems like Linux manages the list of installed packages, and I just wonder if I'm screwing things up this way. Anyway, sorry for the ramble, just looking for some guidance. Thanks. ...Rene

smartd and 3ware on centos5
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hi, I've CentOS5 box with 3ware RAID controller in it. I can't get the tw_cli command line tool to work, and smartd also barks on me. The tw_cli simply doesn't see the controller, no errors logged anywhere. When starting smartd, it is much more verbose. I'm getting a bunch of messages like this: Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: 3w-xxxx: SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND deprecated, please update your 3ware tools. Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko last message repeated 5 times Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko smartd[29238]: Device: /dev/sda [3ware_disk_00], not found in smartd database. Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko smartd[29238]: Device: /dev/sda [3ware_disk_00], ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE words 82-83 don't specify if SMART capable. Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko smartd[29238]: Device: /dev/sda [3ware_disk_00], proceeding since '-T permissive' Directive given. Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: 3w-xxxx: SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND deprecated, please update your 3ware tools. Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko last message repeated 5 times Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: 3w-xxxx: SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND deprecated, please update your 3ware tools. Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: 3w-xxxx: SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND deprecated, please update your 3ware tools. Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko smartd[29238]: The SMART RETURN STATUS return value (smartmontools -H option/Directive) can not be passed through the 3ware 3w-xxxx driv er. This can be fixed by applying a simple 3w-xxxx driver patch that can be found here: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Alternatively, upgrade your 3w-xx xx driver to version 1.02.00.037 or greater. The configuration file for smartd looks like this: /dev/sda -d 3ware,0 -a -m root -T permissive /dev/sda -d 3ware,1 -a -m root -T permissive I do remember smartd and tw_cli working in the past. However, last time I used them was so long ago that I don't remember if it was before or after upgrade from CentOS4 to CentOS5. Is it possible to get tw_cli and smartd into working condition on CentOS5 box? Thanks, Alex

Minicom capture file
by Dean Maluski 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

I'm trying to capture text data coming in on serial port to put into a plot on a web page. Running minicom 2.3 on a Fedora 9 box the capture file is updated immediately. Running minicom 2.1, stock on a Centos 5.x box the capture file doesn't update until you exit capture mode. Is there any way to have it update immediately or is there an alternative application to write incoming data to a text file. Likely many ways to accomplish this but my brain is out of ideas today.

Any problems in the CentOS Samba?
by Spike Turner 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

Upstream bugzilla says :- Rebasing to Samba 3.0.32 would fix various current RHEL4 bugs. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460904 I have looked at the bugs.centos.org but did not find user reported bugs. Is anyone experiencing problems using the CentOS 4 samba? Spike.
