Rsync + crontab centos5.1
by Frank Murphy 22 Jun '08

22 Jun '08

Just looking at the "man rsync". Might as well be duagnosing a plattypus. I have made a dir on my Cent samba shares to setup a local fedora.repo (1) How do I get it to run weekly at a certain time. is this correct? crontab -e 22 7 0 0 /usr/bin/rsync -va /Fedora-Mirror /local samba share. (2) Trying to get cron it run 10pm every saturday night. Log whats happening. update packages, include new packages. Exlude extra languages from things like openoffice\xorg etc.. that the family don't need. (family lan) (3) Would one normally download the mirrors "repodata", or run create createrepo oneself?

lvm with iscsi devices on boot
by Raja Subramanian 22 Jun '08

22 Jun '08

Hi All, My CentOS 5.1 server is using iSCSI attached disks connecting to a dual controller storage array. I have also configured multipathd to manage the multiple paths. Everything works well, and on boot the dev nodes are automatically created in /dev/mapper. On these devices, I have created logical volumes using lvm2. My problem is that lvm does not recognize these iscsi/multipath volumes on boot up. I need to manually run "vgchange -ay" and mount the logical volumes by hand. I tried running the vgchange and mount commands from /etc/rc.local, but that has no effect. I have verified that /etc/rc.local itself is executing correctly. What do I need to put in my boot up scripts so logical volumes in iscsi/multipathd devices are automatically recognized on boot? TIA! - Raja

centos 4.6 - 586 install - how to get that to a 486 level if possible
by Jerry Geis 22 Jun '08

22 Jun '08

Is there a method to get a 586 (i586 text) install to a 486 level? I am looking for information guidance on this. I have looked into using debian/386 which stinks in my opinion, slackware doesnt quite have it either. So I am wishing/hoping there is a NOT TO painful way to get a 586 install to run on a 486 chip. I have been searching but havent found anything useful. If anyone knows what might need to be done I would appreciate it. Jerry

Re: [CentOS] Trouble brewing in dmesg... any ideas?
by Tim Nelson 22 Jun '08

22 Jun '08

Unfortunately I can't see the top of the errors as there are too many... :-( I'll throw a console on it and start logging. Is anyone else seeing this sort of activity? I'm running the latest stock kernel available using yum from the repos. I'm not using any additional repos(rpmforge, epel, etc...) and I don't have any custom compiled modules. This box is a fresh installation running bind, apache, and mysqld. Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.

Worst case, configure your system with a serial console and capture the error using a terminal emulator on another machine plugged into your serial console. nate _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

how do I manage a Dell PE 860 server via IPMI?
by Rudi Ahlers 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

Hi all I'm trying to get to grips with this one, but just can't figure it out. I recently acquired some 2nd hand Dell Poweredge 860 servers, and noticed that they have built in remote management interfaces. So, I have setup one, and assigned an IP address to it, but have no idea on how to access it remotely. Google'ing for an answer didn't bring me more than general product information about various different IPMI stuff. So, how do I actually access these servers remotely? If possible, I'd like todo it via another CentOS server at the DC using SSH. tia :) -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff

Pulling Hair Out - TWiki 4.2 on CentOS 5
by Chuck 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

I thought I would turn here before giving up. I am trying to install Twiki 4.2 on CentOS 5 with all updates. (I also tried Twiki 4.1.2 as well) I am running a custom rolled Apache 2.2.8 server and custom rolled PHP 5.2.6 (built with oracle support). These work and are rock solid. I've been using the same config with very heavy duty scripts and php applications with no issues. When trying to run /twiki/bin/configure I get the following error when clicking "Next": Software error: Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at (eval 25) line 23. The Apache error log says pretty much the same thing. (like 23 by the way points to a commented line; the first 100 or so lines in this script are comments.. If I don't count the commented lines there is no search regexp anywhere near line 23) I then tried version 4.1.2 and the same thing. I googled and found numerous other people having this problem. I have found no responses or solutions. The twiki support site has yielded nothing as well. Just hoping someone here might have sorted this out.. I have set up dozens of twiki sites but haven't played with it in a 2 years or so and wondering... It was never this difficult before.. Three of us have now triple checked every file permissions, installation step, system pre-requisite, etc... Thanks for any help, CC

Re: [CentOS] ClamAV help needed

Hi Anne, I have many servers running clamav, simply use the dag repos http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/ and install it via yum "yum install clamav clamd" then run freshclam, thats it.

Kernel panic - not syncing: CPU context corrupt
by Alwin Roosen 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi, Is there someone on this mailing list who could/want help me figure out this issue? We do not know where to look to solve this. --- Description --- This is a brand new server, which has been tested for days with FreeBSD in our office, and a few days with Windows on the site of our hardware distributor. Now customer wants CentOS, which we installed, but after few days we get a kernel panic. Last night at 2:08 it gave the same kernel panic. Please tell me what information I should give you and most important how to get it from the system, because we do not have experience with CentOS (only FreeBSD). I would be very surprised if this is hardware related. We use the same hardware for several years, and run FreeBSD on it very successfully. It is a SuperMicro PDSMI+ motherboard with 3ware raid controller (8006-2LP). CPU is Xeon 3040 1.8 Ghz EM64 2MB 1066FSB (65W). Memory is DDR 2 Trancend 2048MB ECC Unbuffered 800. Error message on console is in "Additional Information". I am hoping that I should switch off some setting in CentOS to fix this, but I cannot find much useful information about this issue on Google. --- Additional Information --- CentOS release 5 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 on an i686 ws174 login: CPU 1: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000005 CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004 Bank 3: f62000020002010a at 0000000032c93500 Bank 5: f20000300c000e0f Kernel panic - not syncing: CPU context corrupt Bank 3: f62000020002010a --- Attachments --- 19-06-2008 16-03-31.png (Screenshot of console) With kind regards, Alwin Roosen
