<OT> RedHat support
by Collins Richey 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

As a parallel question to my thread about CentOS for commercial use, here's a question I've been wondering about. How many of you who have RHEL licenses and paid support licenses have ever needed actually to request support? And if you did was the support any bit more timely or accurate than community support for CentOS or other distros? -- Collins When I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world....

Is getting involved with linuxquestions.org something CentOS may consider? -- Computer Housecalls, Networks, Security, Web Design: http://www.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

CentOS for commercial use
by Collins Richey 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

I'm a home user of CentOS (a desktop and a laptop) because I like the quality of the product and I love the cost. I'm a great believer in FOSS. That being said, I know that some of you use CentOS for production servers and (perhaps?) desktops as well. I've read at leat one comment like "I have 20 CentOS servers." My employer is a firm believer in RHEL - license costs are just a business decision. I would like to know how those of you who use CentOS in commercial endeavors justify the decsion - ethics, community vs. vendor support, etc., etc. I've heard many comments to the effect that we CentOS users are just leaches, since RedHat does the major work. What do you think? -- Collins When I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world....

CentOS 4 with MySQL 4.1
by Chris Hammond 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Greetings all! I have built a new server with MySQL and have noticed that before even doing anything to it I found that the MySQL logins were much slower than the 4.0 server I used prior to it. After moving data over to it, the application, (JFFNMS) when it would login to it would take forever getting data from it. It would finally get to a point where MySQL would not respond to anything including MySQLAdministrator. So I removed the 4.1 version that came with CentOS 4, I downloaded and installed the latest 4.0 version from the MySQL website and installed it and it is very fast even after moving the data to it. The problem I have is that I need php-mysql and perl-DBD-MySQL and when I install these two rpms, it removes the MySQL-server and MySQL-client rpm's that I retrieved from the MySQL website. So I am at a loss of what to do. I would prefere to go with MySQL 4.1 just because that is what comes with CentOS 4, short of that I need php-mysql to work with 4.0. Databases and custome building of RPM's is beyond my capabilities. Any assistance will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks Chris

DNS server with MySQL Backend
by Bob Pierce 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Just a quick question, Does anybody know of a good DNS server with MySQL backend? We're currently looking at MyDNS. Has anybody had any experience with MyDNS or other MySQL driven DNS servers under heavy load? Also, can anybody recommend a good DNS benchmarking utility? Thanks for your help, Bob.

system management - what do you use to manage your CentOS systems?
by Enoch West 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Greetings everyone. Let me preface this with the following, I know this is not specific to CentOS but I do value the input given by *many* of the users on this list. I can not think of a more appropriate place to ask these questions. Let me just break down my setup: 20 CentOS 4 servers, all running apache. The only things that are unique on each server are the network settings and the apache virtual host config files, other then that, they are identical. I'm not using any networked file systems, content is synchronized via rsync. NFS is not able to provide adequate performance in our environment. I wanted to get some feedback to see what other people here use to manage their CentOS systems, apply updates, roll out new software packages, update unique config files etc. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. -- enoch

by Mário Gamito 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Hi, I've just installed a server with CentOS 4. This server is behind a proxy. I'm trying to import the RPM key. Already set http_proxy variable to: export "http_proxy"=http://proxy.xpto.com:3128 Truth is, command # rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4 just leaves me hanged. Any ideas ? Warm Regards, Mário Gamito
