With one problem down I still have another remaining. Since the installation of our primairy webserver we have had a problem with the network aliasses.
Our server has 8 IP adresses so we used the tool provided in the GUI to specify (and name - for our own convinience) eth0 aliasses with the other 7 adresses. After setting them up, applying them, activating them and restarting 'networking' (I dare say this is a lot of button pushing just to enable one NIC) all is well and every program can use its preferred IP.
However, after a reboot, all aliasses are disabled: they are present in the configuration but they are not activated. I feared I did something wrong so I removed all addresses, tried to find more clues in the docs and now I'm back where I started.
How can I figure out what is wrong? I might add that I am not afraid of using a console (actually prefer it on linux servers) but I am new to CentOS so I tried to do everything by using the GUI - which in this case keeps failing...
