[CentOS] CentOS 5 x86_64 install does not see SATA drives

[Dougal Ballantyne]

hi.

I am having some problems installing CentOS 5.2 x86_64 onto a
Supermicro 6015V-T with Intel 5000V chipset and ESB2 controller using
SATA drives. Currently I am running CentOS 4.7 i386 and it sees both
drives but when I boot into the CentOS 5 install CD it fails to see
the drives. Does anybody have any tips for getting the drives visible?

Kind regards,

Dougal

Not yes, but no. Updates is always rebased to the latest point release, so you
cannot point 5.1 clients to 5.2 updates.

Re: [CentOS] Good [L]AMP tutorial for CentOS 5.2 ?

[admin]

1. Is there a "right" way to install software on Linux in general, an 
CentOS in particular? For example, the Package Manager on CentOS 5.2 
allows you to install certain software, but often not the latest 
version. So if I go download MySQL 5.0.67 from the web, how do I install 
it and make it play nice with the rest of the system? Ditto for PHP 
5.2.6. And once installed (either by the Package Manager -- and by the 
way, why are the apps it lists so out of date?), what's the best way to 
update PHP and MySQL? Is it simply a matter of downloading the binaries 
again and overwriting the existing install? On Mac OS X, such downloads 
come as .pkg files that seem to take care of so many details without 
requiring a trip to the command line.


2. Where should software, such as PHP, MySQL, Apache2, be installed? 
/usr/bin ?


3. Is it a bad idea to install some software from the command-line via 
wget, some software from the graphical Package Manager, and some 
software from the the web? What I mean is, so far it seems like Linux 
manages the list of installed packages, and I just wonder if I'm 
screwing things up this way.


The recommended way to install software is using a yum or at least rpm. 
The further you stray from core CentOS packages installed the CentOS 
way, the more likely you will get stuck with a broken system that this 
list or the forums will find difficult to support. That said, there are 
some good repos out there including dag.wieers.com and EPEL.


The versions used in CentOS are derived directly from the upstream 
product. This is an enterprise distro after all, stability is valued 
more highly that being on the bleeding edge. But yes, old versions of 
PHP and PostgreSQL can be problematic when something like the latest 
Drupal (7) requires PHP5.2, and PostgreSQL 8.3 is way better than 8.1.
It is possible to upgrade these but not possible to describe how to do 
it here. Google can help.


Software should be installed wherever the RPM wants to put it. It is all 
about maintaining a stable, reliable system in a known state.

[CentOS] Any problems in the CentOS Samba?

[Spike Turner]

Upstream bugzilla says :-

Rebasing to Samba 3.0.32 would fix various current RHEL4 bugs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460904

I have looked at the bugs.centos.org but did not find
user reported bugs.

Is anyone experiencing problems using the CentOS 4 samba?

Normally you use yum for doing so.  should

You can't except if you build these also as RPMs. And rebuild every other RPM 
which depends on those against the newly built RPMs.

CentOS is not and never was about the latest and greatest. CentOS is about 
having a stable set of packages which do *not* change over the lifetime of
the product (with a few exceptions). Security fixes are backported into these
versions. More info about that can be found on http://wiki.centos.org/

No, because those will get overwritten on updates.

Same for RPM.

/usr/bin only when installed by the package manager. /usr/local/bin for
selfcompiled packages, /opt/ for binary packages. man hier(7)

Yes. Bad idea and it *will* screw up your system. Read up on CentOS and try
to understand why we ship exactly that set of packages contained in any
of the 4 available CentOS versions. If you find that not having the newest
software available, CentOS might not be the correct distribution for you.

If you want to have a stable set of packages supported for seven years(!), 
then stay with CentOS. Mixing CentOS packages and "stuff from the web" will 
not help with that.

[CentOS] Good [L]AMP tutorial for CentOS 5.2 ?

Being slightly familiar with BSD, I'm trying to get my feet wet with

setting up a CentOS server with Apache, PHP, and MySQL...


I realize there are step-by-step guides of the sort "copy-this-line- 
paste-into-terminal-and-hit-enter", but I'd like to understand what's  
going on when I issue a single wget command and numerous packages and  
libraries start downloading Specifically:


1. Is there a "right" way to install software on Linux in general, an

I think Ned's response is correct.  It is "Yes" if the OP sees
"Akemi's reply".  In other words, yum repo has the 5 -> 5.x symlink
and under 5.x there are both "os" and "updates".  Clients are supposed
to point to "5" regardless of whether they are 5 or 5.1 or 5.2.

Getting LAMP on Linux is easy unless you use a distro
where you need to compile everything.

This is a quick one 
http://www.howtoforge.com/quick-n-easy-lamp-server-centos-rhel

phpMyadmin and Webmin do not come with CentOS but come in
rpm form though phpMyadmin has a horrible security record.

Check your permissions on ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the

The ones dated 10/8 are new. My up-to-date 4.7 still has the ...1.EL
kernel build.

Since CentOS has not announced them yet, I would guess that is the case.
There would also be a small delay while the mirrors get synchronized.
