5-beta or 4.4 for a new user?
by Patrick Useldinger 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hello, I am a Slackware user who's interested in learning CentOS. At this point it is for intellectual curiosity only and not for any real work so the machine need not be 100% stable at this point. It's most probably going to be an installation into VMWare. Given that, I thought I'd wait for 5-beta (mid-Jan'07) and start with that. Will it be possible to upgrade from 5-beta to 5.0? Or would you advise me to start with 4.4? Regards, Patrick

Updating PHP
by Todd Cary 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

My version of Centos (4.4) comes with php 4.3.9. Since I run Interbase on the server, I need to recompile the php with Interbase. The only php I have found is 4.4 which I have downloaded and untarred as well as configuring it with Interbase, doing the make and make install. Where I am lost is on having Apache (httpd) use it rather than the 4.3.9 ( http://209.204.172.137:82/testphp.php ). When I do the make install, where does it go? Many thanks for any help you can offer.... Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

centos 3.3 to 4.x?
by R Lists06 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Greetings, A friend of mine is running 3.3 He asked what I thought about going to 4.4 I imagine it is best to backup and fresh install and migrate old configs and data What is the wisdom on the list I remember going from beta 3 to 3 a long time ago. Anyone ever upgrade from 3.x to 4.x without problem and how so? I didn't see a lot on the www other than some apt-get info Thanks in advance - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

Re: [CentOS] 3ware 9650SE success - D945GTP note

However, the technical reference for the D945GTP motherboard clearly states, on page 61 of D1407001US-1.pdf, topic 2.8.2.2 "Add-in Card Connectors", (quoted): "NOTE: The PCI Express x16 connector is configured to support only a PCI Express x1 link when the Intel GMA950 graphics controller is enabled." Who me, accuse Intel of artificially crippling their desktop motherboard performance to boost "$erver" motherboard $ale$? I wouldn't do that. For this application, PCIe x1 performance will probably be enough, but anyone thinking about using intel x16 slots for anything except video may want to take note. I'm just glad Intel is reserving the PCIe x16 performance for the screaming GMA950 on-board video. Bad Intel. No biscuit. Now checking into other vendors, Dave Thompson UW-Madison

A bit of a new guy around these parts... I've done a bit of looking, and haven't found any newbie-friendly instructions on how to add the Dag repository to my CentOS4 box. Could somebody help me out and point me in the right direction? Thanks... -- --- David Woyciesjes

Yum question - RHEL4
by Tom Brown 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi this is technically a RHEL4 question but i hope it can be answered here... Does RHEL4 do yum OK ? I kix a lot of boxes and it would be great to run the update after the build automajically rather than running through the up2date registration and using that method. I would also rather not pay lots for satellite server. If i setup my own RHEL repo can i use yum against this? Or any other thoughts/options ? thanks

08 Jan '07

Hi, I've installed XFCE via yumgroup without problem. If I boot in runlevel 3 and run X with startxfce4 command all works ok too, but if If I start the system in runlevel 5, it seems the X default X manager is always twm. ¿How can I setup the default X manager?

Problen with vsftpd and chroot
by Tony Molloy 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

I'm setting up a local mirror server on a CentOS4 box. I want it to serve files over http, nfs and ftp. I've set this up with the mirrored directories on a separate partition. I've got the http and nfs working but am having some trouble with ftp. I'm using vsftpd as the ftp server. I can log in to the ftp server and get to the pub (/var/ftp/pub) directory. However when I try and go to the mirrored directories below this I get a "can't change directory error. The mirrored directories is a symbolic link to the actual directories on the separate partition. So my question is is vsftpd chrooted to the /var/ftp directory by default and won't follow symbolic links and if so is there any way to change this behaviour. I can change the mount points if I need to but I was just wondering. Thanks, Tony -- Tony Molloy. System Manager. Dept. of Comp. Sci. University of Limerick

problems with greylistd
by Jeff Lasman 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

I'm using CentOS 4.4 <snip> # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.4 (Final) # </snip> I downloaded and installed greylistd as follows: greylistd-0.8.3.2-7.el4.at.noarch.rpm from: http://riksun.riken.go.jp/pub/pub/Linux/atrpms/rhel/4/en/i386/RPMS.at-stabl… I installed it without problems. <snip> # rpm -Uvh greylistd-0.8.3.2-7.el4.at.noarch.rpm warning: greylistd-0.8.3.2-7.el4.at.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 66534c2b Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:greylistd ########################################### [100%] # </snip> But it doesn't run <frown>. I start it using "service greylistd start". I'm presuming that should work, as all the files seem to be in place for it to work. <snip> # service greylistd start Starting greylistd: [FAILED] # </snip> The message in /var/log/messages is decidedly unhelpful; all it tells me is that the program started and then stopped: <snip> Dec 31 19:43:53 da12 su(pam_unix)[11890]: session opened for user greylistd by jlasman(uid=0) Dec 31 19:43:53 da12 su(pam_unix)[11890]: session closed for user greylistd Dec 31 19:43:55 da12 greylistd: greylistd startup failed </snip> Any ideas as to what may be going on? Or where I should look? Or if there's easily installable source-code available? Thanks.
