form problem
by Melinda Odom 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Hi, I am using CentOS 3.5 plus the Plesk reloaded 7.3 server admin and just recently did a small upgrade of some plesk packages plus the update from CentOS 3.4 to 3.5. It seems that all of my forms have stopped working using nms FormMail.pl script. Everything was working before these last two updates. I have debug set on the form script and it does work without any errors but I never get the email that a form was submitted. The server company I get my server through did a test on one of the forms and I got the technician's email but when I went to test the very same form I did not get an email. The technician tested from the company so I am thinking this might be some permissions problem with something on my server as the technician would have higher permissions than myself. Another strange occurrence is that whenever a customer of one of my customers on my server submits my client's email form I am getting an email instead of my client showing the details of the form. I have checked all the forms thoroughly and there is nothing wrong with them and since they all were working and now are not working that the problem is with the server itself. Can someone give me some ideas of where to look for this problem because we are stumped? Sincerely, Melinda Odom www.designhosting.biz 479-471-0891 -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Loosing mouse pointer on centos 4.1
by Jerry Geis 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

I have a dell inspiron 8200 laptop . Install went fine. After booting and using my laptop for a while my mouse pointer just disappears. Any ideas? Any way to restart my mouse pointer? I tried doing CTL-ALT+F1 and ALT_F7 thinking that would reinitialize the mouse but no. Only thing that works is reboot. THanks, Jerry

I typically find NFS bliss if I stick with a client and server in the same series as follows: - 2.2.18+ (or early 2.2.x with Trond+Higgen, thank you SGI!) - 2.4.9 or earlier (VM #1) - 2.4.10-2.2.18 (VM #2) - 2.4.21 or later (much better NFS client IMHO) - 2.6.x or later (thank you Sun!) I always have issues if I start using one series of Linux NFS clients with another series of Linux NFS servers, etc... In your case, your server is 2.6.x, and your clients are 2.4.18, maybe 2.4.21+. Those 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 releases were "less than fun" when it came to the Linux NFS client, especially when not connecting to a NFS server of the same series. -- Bryan J.

Installing Dag's RPMs
by dan.trainor 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hello, all - I wanted to know your guys' success rate when installing and rebuilding RPMs in CentOS (specifically 4.0) that have come from Dag's Repositories (http://dag.wieers.com/packages/) I have noticed a number of these packages stalling at various points throughout an rpmbuild process, and I can't quite get it. It looks almost as if they were all built for RHEL4.0, but if CentOS is supposed to follow so close in RHEL's footsteps, why would this be a problem? I'll give Dag an email and see if he has anything to say about that. Once I get enough information, I'll just go ahead and hack up the RPMs so that they work properly on my systems - but I thought I'd ask beforehand, as to not re-invent the wheel. Thanks! -dant

Vote for CentOS - AGAIN :)
by Johnny Hughes 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

The preliminary round voting is completed in the "2005 Readers' Choice Awards" at Linux Journal. CentOS was nominated in the "distribution:" category along with 18 other Linux distros ... and we finished in the top 3 (along with Ubuntu and FedoraCore). Thanks to every one who voted for CentOS. I really did not expect that we would be on the final ballot, though I am honored that we are. Now, lets do it again, and shock the world :) Please go to Linux Journal and vote for CentOS !!! http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8272

Compaq cpqfc driver
by bertchen＠biomaps.rutgers.edu 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hi, I am trying to compile kernel 2.6.9-11.EL from kernel-sourcecode, and need the Compaq cpqfc HBA driver. I see the code for the driver under drivers/scsi but when I do a "make menuconfig" I do not have the option to select it. Any ideas on how I can get it to show up? Thanks. --

RPM -e for single architecture
by David Thompson 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hi All: On architectures where multiple architectures for an RPM may be simultaneously installed (my example is x86_64), does anyone know the RPM magic to remove only one version? For instance, if I have the x86_64 and i386 versions of an RPM installed, how I can specify to only remove the i386 version? I have been unable to find a search phrase that turns up any useful information. Thanks. Dave Thompson UW-Madison (ftp|http|rsync)://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/centos

Postfix / Postini question
by Barry Brimer 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

I have a mail server that handles several domains. One of these domains has decided to use Postini. For those not familiar with Postini, you set your MX records to use their mail servers. They filter mail, and deliver you only the clean virus/spam free mail. The idea is to only allow incoming mail from their mail servers so spammers are unable to send to your mail server directly. This is fairly simple to do with standard restriction classes for a dedicated mail server. I am not sure how to accomplish this on a shared mail server. Ideally I would like to instruct postfix to accept mail from anywhere for all domains except one domain (the one using Postini) and only allow mail destined for that specific domain to originate from Postini's mail servers. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Barry
