Upgrading MySQL from 4.1 to 5
by Tito Valentin 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

Hello All, I am trying to upgrade MySQL on CentOS 4.5 but having a hard time. I need to go from MySQL 4.1 to 5. I downloaded the following two files: mysql-server-5.0.58-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm mysql-5.0.48-2.el4.centos.i386.rpm I tried to do: yum install mysql-server-5.0.58-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm And get: Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Examining mysql-server-5.0.58-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm: mysql-server - 5.0.58-1.el4.centos.i386 Marking mysql-server-5.0.58-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm as an update to mysql-server - 4.1.20-3.RHEL4.1.el4_6.1.i386 Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package mysql-server.i386 0:5.0.58-1.el4.centos set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.15 for package: mysql-server --> Processing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15) for package: mysql-server --> Processing Dependency: libmysqlclient_r.so.15 for package: mysql-server --> Processing Dependency: libmysqlclient_r.so.15(libmysqlclient_15) for package: mysql-server --> Processing Dependency: mysql = 5.0.58-1.el4.centos for package: mysql-server --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.15 is needed by package mysql-server Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15) is needed by package mysql-server Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient_r.so.15 is needed by package mysql-server Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient_r.so.15(libmysqlclient_15) is needed by package mysql-server Error: Missing Dependency: mysql = 5.0.58-1.el4.centos is needed by package mysql-server I then did yum update mysql and it update the current MySQL files but on the same version and not to 5. How do I get libmysqlclient.so.15 installed if I have libmysqlclient.so.10 installed because it looks like that is what it needs to be able to complete or at least go through my upgrade. Thanks, T

How to create static routes on startup with CentOS4?
by Eric B. 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Hi, I'm working with the iproute2/iptables toolset on my CentOS4 server to create custom routing rules. However, I'm a bit at a loss how to create these permanently so that they are automatically reloaded upon reboot of the server. I know that iptables has a config file in /etc/sysconfig/iptables that is loaded by /etc/init.d/iptables startup script. Is there anything that works similarly for the iproute2 ruleset? I can't seem to find anything in /etc/init.d/network except for references to static routes using /sbin/route, which isn't good enough if one wants to use multiple routing tables. Nor can I find anything in /etc/init.d/ that would seem applicable to the iproute2 system. Any ideas/suggestions? Do I have to create my own custom startup script for this? Or is there somewhere already existant I can put iproute2 commands? Thanks! Eric

Every time a "new" user logs into a development box (which does not use nfs for the home dirs) the get could not chdir to their home dir. They call me with the error and I do a: cp -a /etc/skel/ ~USER && chown USER.users -R ~USER/ and it is fixed.

yum update did not complete
by Jerry Geis 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

I was doing a yum update today. It downloaded all the packages. was doing the next part and my remote connection was lost. so ssh session was killed. When I logged back in I am not sure if the update is done or not. I presume not. I presume it died with my remote session. I do a yum update now and it returns as if there is nothing to update. last I saw it was 30 out of 312 in the installation section. What next? Jerry

NIS libuser and auto-make of maps
by Ross S. W. Walker 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

I have my NIS user/group files separate from the system user/group files using libuser to manage them and that works well, but I am trying to find a way to get libuser to invoke a 'make' of the NIS maps whenever it updates the master files. Is there a routine I can configure in libuser to do this, or am I stuck having to do it by cron? Ross S. W.

More info for -perm 2 ?
by Fajar Priyanto 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Hi all, Is there any more exhaustive explanation on this command? find / -type f -perm -2. Someone said that it means to find all files which have 'other' write access. From the man page it only says: -perm mode File’s permission bits are exactly mode (octal or symbolic). Symbolic modes use mode 0 as a point of departure. -perm -mode All of the permission bits mode are set for the file. -perm +mode Any of the permission bits mode are set for the file. Is there any table that explain all that mode?

GNOME issue. Seeking Guidance.
by Christy.New＠cancer.org 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Below is what has been documented on this issue, and I am needing further guidance. Essetially, I am running in GNOME, but it isn't working properly. Can some one help. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |I am new to the Centos ISO and was looking for a forum, when I came across this. If it isn't something you can help, | |can you help point me in the right direction? Here are the answers you requested from me: | | | |I go to the applications menu at the top left and click to pull down | |I click on Add/Remove Software but nothing happens. | | | |I am using GNOME | | | |I go to the system menu at the top left and click to pull down, and then click admin and then click network. Nothing | |happens. | | | |It is like the GNOME is not working properly. It did work until I pulled down the software updates after the initial | |intstallation. | | | |Again, thank you. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |There are several ways to get help with CentOS: | | | |The CentOS web forums are at http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/ [^] | |The CentOS email lists are at http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos [^] | |Realtime forums (IRC) can be found via http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=8 [^] | | | |In your case, I am expecting that the pirut or system-helper command are not working correctly. Please try the | |following. | | | |Right click on the desktop and choose "Open Terminal". In the terminal type pirut. A popup window should occur asking | |for the root password. If it doesnt, then there is a permission problem that might have 'broken' during an update. | | | |In the terminal type "ls -l /usr/bin/pirut". And you should get output like the following: | | | |[smooge@canopus ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/pirut | |lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 12 2007 /usr/bin/pirut -> consolehelper* | | | |[smooge@canopus ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/consolehelper | |-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5920 Mar 14 2007 /usr/bin/consolehelper* | | | | | |If it is a permission problem, we can try the following: | | | |1) Login as root (in the terminal window you can do a "su - root" | |2) Type the following: | |/sbin/restorecon -R -v /etc /usr /sbin /bin /var | | | |This will take a long time, but it should restore selinux permissions to some items that either zenoss or an update | |accidently "broke" | | | |After this command finishes try the following: | |Top Menu -> Applications -> Add/Remove Software | | | |If it pops up now.. then it was an selinux item. If it does not then there is a problem with consolehelper talking | |getting root which might have occured with the zenoss install. I would first check with them to see if it is a known | |issue on their part, and then with the forums. | | | |/usr/bin/consolehelper is a program that allows a normal user to get super-user/administrator rights. So there are 2 | |pirut programs. /usr/bin/pirut calls consolehelper which calls some programs to make sure you can become 'root' If you| |know the root password then it will call /usr/sbin/pirut which is the real program, but only runs as 'root' not a | |normal user. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Yes and no luck yet. I have contacted Zenoss, however they seem to think it is with Centos. Since it is a free | |utility, they are very reluctant to offer support. If I were to pay, then they would graciously put for the effort | |to help. So I am on my own. I don't mind the CLI, actually I prefer it, but my co-workers are were I am concerned. | |I want them to be able to use it, and be comfortable with it. But with out being able to use the GNOME (GUI). They | |are reluctant to do so. That is my fear. They know nothing about Linux or UNIX, and only know router's and switches| |CLI. If you can offer any guidance, I graciously welcome it all | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |When I open a terminal, there was no issue. When I typed int ls -l /usr/bin/pirut, I got just as smooge said I | |would, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 12 2007 /usr/bin/pirut -> consolehelper*. Then I typed in ls -l | |/usr/bin/consolehelper, I got -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5920 Mar 14 2007 /usr/bin/consolehelper*, again just as smooge| |said I would. He then asked that I log in as root, which I was already at. When I typed,/sbin/restorecon -R -v /etc| |/usr /sbin /bin /var. There was something different, than what Smooge said it would do. It was either instance, or | |it appeared like nothing happen. He had mention that it would take it a while, and it appeared to do nothing. So | |once I did all he asked, I stillcould not open the add/remove, or the networking information up. I also tried to | |reboot the server, to see if maybe the changes would take effect then, and no success. Thanks for the help. | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |When I run pirut from root it tells me: "Unable to import modules. Maybe you're not running under X?". When I log | |under another user, and run the command "pirut", it prompts me for the root password, and then tells me the same | |thing. | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Are you running under some sort of GUI? GNOME, KDE, XFCE, whatever - meaning are you running under a graphical | |environment? | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----| |Yes | |-----| Please Advise.
