decTOP - Centos install fails but DSL frugal install worked
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

I got 4 of those decTOPs (http://www.dataevolution.com/dectop%20info%202.htm) and upgraded the memory to 512Mb. I cannot get Centos 5.0 to install. I have the keyboard mouse attached to an ATEN USB-PS/2 adapter (probably should try without this). I have a USB DVD/CDRW drive. The install CD boots just fine. But then the install says, "No CD" and takes me to Askmethods. So I use FTP, as I typically do anyway. They have a generic USB ethernet dongle, but the last device listed on the ethernet devices seems to work just fine. I get all the way through configuring and when it gets to Resolving Dependencies, it crashes. Something about not finding the kernel? And how do I remotely write the debug information? FTP does not seem to be the protocol used. So I partitioned a drive on another system. In partition 4 I copied the 6 ISO CD images. I boot from CD, and then switch to Local Harddrive from /dev/hda4 and /. . Then install follows the same behaviour as the FTP install, so at least I know it is not the USB ethernet. And there is no option to write the dump to /dev/hda4 Openfiler 2.0 hangs at "Resolving Dependenies". Just sits there. Oh, Openfiler 'figured out' to load up a USB driver to get to the CD. I haven't found my FreeNAS CD to see what it does. But the latest D*#nSmallLinux (DSL) had no trouble booting and running of CD. Now I have successfully done the Frugal install to the hard drive and am booted without the CD at all. Now I REALLY want to run Centos on a couple of these units. What should I look for that is causing Centos to fail to instal? How do I capture that debug trace? Since I DO have DSL up and running, if there is some test to perform, let me know. I haved NO experience with DSL or Knoppix. Next is an ASTLinux install on one of the boxes. I really want Trixbox instead.....

NAS -- Centos 5 DIY or Openfiler 2.0
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

I need to set up a NAS. Got a box with a 200Gb drive ready to go. I have installed Openfiler 2.0 on it but..... I really can't add other services, like FreeRadius (keep the list simple for now). So maybe I should just stay with what I know and use Centos. Other experiences? Are there good DIY NAS instructions for Centos 5?

Before I added that line to the /etc/fstab file in my daughters box, I did a "yum update autofs". No joy. Then, I added that line to the /etc/fstab file. No joy. Possibly, if I do some more research, I can figure out what to change your suggested line to. However, in my box, there is nothing like that in the /etc/fstab file and automount works perfectly. I would like to know what is putting this line into the /etc/mtab file in my box, when I have the CentOS DVD in the drive: /dev/hdc /media/CentOS_5.0_Final iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=503 0 0 Whatever is causing that line to be added to /etc/mtab apparently makes the automount work properly.

When I try to do this, I get these error messages on the command line: (system-config-network:3061): libglade-WARNING **: Error loading image: Failed to open file '/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/network.xpm': No such file or directory (system-config-network:3061): libglade-WARNING **: could not convert string to type `GdkPixbuf' for property `logo' I don't know how to add the right adapter because it won't allow me to select the right one or add a new one of the form Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG. Also, it seems to have configured eth1 as an ethernet device whereas I want it to be a wireless device. So I'm absolutely baffled and don't know where to go from here - I may just have to stick with Windows XP for my wireless connection.

PHP 4 on Centos 5
by Juan Nin 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi! I want to install PHP 4 via RPM on a CentOS 5 server. I downloaded the CentOS 4.5 , installed all needed dependency packages, but I'm having troubles while building the RPM: I was having compile errors with the Apache APR module, I had to make a symlink form apr-config to apr-1-config, since the package expected to find apr-config which didn't exist, and had to pass via CFLAGS the result of "apr-config --cppflags --includes --cflags" Now I reach a stage, where some test are made, I to check fo some PHP bugs and it fails there... I removed the first bug giving probelsm to see what happened, and failed with another one, which it's really strange, bugs like the #23951 which was solved in June 2003... I don;t understand why is this happening.. :( Has anyone been able to compile a PHP 4 RPM on CentOS 5 or are there any available SRPMs out there already prepared for this? I've compiled PHP 4.4.7 from source downloaded form php.net with no problems, but I would like to install it via RPM, preferably by using the CentOS PHP 4 RPM. If there isn't, I will compile directly form source and not use RPM, but would prefer to do it via RPM if possible Thanks in advance, Juan PS: please, don't reply telling me to use PHP 5, I NEED to use PHP 4 on this case, will migrate to PHP 5 ASAP, but still can not do it yet :)

Re: Automount configuration problem

Follow on: On this page: <https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/release-notes/…> I saw this: > Release Notes Updates > > This section contains information that was not included in the > distribution version of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Release Notes > > * CDs and DVDs do not automatically mount when you are logged in > as root. As such, you will need to run the following command > to mount a CD or DVD to /media: > > mount /dev/cdrom /media The problem is not only when logged in as root. I did that (su - and then: mount /dev/cdrom /media) and I was able to install the Package I wanted. My question remains, what configuration file do I need to change, to get automount to work correctly on that box? (The same DVD was used to install CentOS 5.0 on my box and my daughters box). I use GNOME on both boxes. Works perfectly on my box. TIA, Lanny

Updating system
by Dago Pacheco 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi... I'm about to update my centos 4 x64 as is said in the centos-announces list, but i have a question. The link included in the mail direct me to a redhat web page where the update is explained and remarks that all previously released updates must be applied in order to set the current update. My question is, do i have to set some parameter when aptemting to update my system by "up2date" command or does it do automatically? Thanks -- ________________________ Dago Pacheco Encargado de Informática Maestranza Makimet Ltda.

Re: [CentOS] Re: Postfix smtp freezing
by Jason Ross 13 Aug '07

Rick, The reason i used top was because I noticed that mailscanner and smtpd were always on the list UNLESS the issue was occurring. I will try ps + grep next time as well. As for the ips they resolve quickly however they are all listed in /etc/hosts as we do not have an internal DNS. -jr replies-lists-a1z2-centos(a)listmail.innovate.net wrote: > using "top" to look for processes probably isn't the best approach as > (by default) you'll only see the more resource intensive applications. > you'll probably get a better picture of things related to a specific > application using "ps" (and grep). > > when you connect to an MTA (e.g., postfix/sendmail) it will try to do > an reverse map lookup on the ipnumber of the inbound connection. if you > don't have in-addr.apra entries for your ipnumbers, or if the machine > running your MTA is having trouble getting to the dns server for the > ipnumber range, then you'll get the type of delays you seem to be > seeing. ultimately the dns will time out (the number of dns servers you > have listed in your mail server's /etc/resolv.conf will effect this - > more is not better). > > you can get a sense of whether this is the issue by doing lookups (on > the mail server) of the ipnumber(s) for connecting machines that are > encountering the delay. depending on your configuration, your server > may cache a result, so the first may be slow with subsequent ones > being fast (until you hit the TTL on the record). > > [by the way, when sending to a mailing list please try to suppress your > confidentiality notice as it's meaningless in this context, and takes > up a lot of lines.] > > - Rick > >
