The exact command you executed would've been nice. -d should work
and so it does for me (though this particular usecase is on an OpenBSD
box). If you haven't already tried it do the following from anywhere on 
your system:

patch -d /other/dir -i /var/tmp/tilda.diff -p0

I'm not sure if the order of the options matters, so you might have
to consult patch(1).

Please test the above patch command and report back as I'd say it is
a bug if it doesn't work. If it didn't work please also post the full
patch command and the output of head -5 /var/tmp/tilda.diff

Frank.

So you are moving from 5.2 to 5.4 directly with skipping 5.3? Because
the kernel you are running is from 5.2.

the xen in rhel-5.4 ( and therefore in centos-5.4 ) is still based on 
the original root, however - there are plenty of things backported from 
newer Xen's. Is there any specific feature you are looking for ?

Any SCSI or IDE CD/DVD burners, most SATA DVD burners work (but you need
to be able to support the SATA controller!).

[CentOS] abnormal freezes

[attila.mathe]

Hi,

 

I'm having a linux box running with Centos 5.3 x86 (kernel
2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen)  which is freezing time to time and can't login
neither trough console.

The only thing what I can do, to pass the situation is to power off/on
the pc.

 

The pc is used only as a torrent server running with transmission 1.74. 

There are days when 400GB data traffic goes through the pc, and there
are days when after 50Mb freezes.

 

What I checked:

-  Network card doesn't show any error (netstat -in)

-  /var/log/messages (nothing serious is mentioned)

-  Router logs (nothing)

-  temperature (sensors show normal parameters, which are true
measured manually also)

 

 

Do you have any idea how to troubleshoot the situation, what I'm missing
?

I'm thinking that there may be some hardware issues, but the thing was
running fine for 1 month, and didn't do much beside yum update on it.

 

 

Thanks,


Cheers,

A

[CentOS] Web server in a sandbox?

[Anne Wilson]

I'd like to understand better the sysadmin  aspects of running a wiki.  I 
don't have, and don't intend to at this stage, a web server, but I do have 
spare capacity on my LAN server box, where I'd like to install MediaWiki.  I 
found this article:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/documentation-guide/en_US/sn-sandbox-setup.html

Would it be straightforward to follow those instructions on a CentOS5 box?

Anything I should be aware of?

Remember that this is a whole new ballgame for me.  Is it likely to meet my 
needs?

Any recommended reading that takes it right from step1 - assuming no special 
knowledge?

[CentOS] Creating a personal repo

I'm wanting to create a yum repo for what is at this point rpm
development for personal use, i might eventually open it up but right now i
have some rpms i need to debug. I've installed createrepo but the docs i've

Sounds to me like you want createrepo

$ yum install createrepo
$ man createrepo

Most of the wiki packages require a webserver to handle the actual web
traffic. There are a few standalone ones that contain their own web
server, and even a couple that can be used directly from the local
storage, but most will install a set of directories and some
configurations under an existing web directory.

Those instructions look fairly generic and *should* work with CentOS5.
  They don't appear to be a Wiki in itself though, and for a Wiki you
won't need to do anything from the local directories to actually edit
pages.

I use MediaWiki on my LAN. It took me about an hour to configure from
start to finish. Packages are available in one of the alternate repos,
though I don't recall which one.

I don't think those instructions are to install MediaWiki, from what I
see in the previous page they show how to "publish official Fedora
Documentation Project work to the docs.fedoraproject.org website".

If you want to install MediaWiki, I suggest you follow the
instructions on the MediaWiki website:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide

I suggest you unpack the distribution under /var/www as that will
probably save you trouble with SELinux. If you unpack it under
/var/www/html/mediawiki you will be able to access it right away under
http://your.server.com/mediawiki/.

I suggest you go ahead and try to make it work, if you have specific
problems or questions after that, please post them and we'll help you!
I have been maintaining a MediaWiki installation under CentOS 5 here
and it's been working great so far.

HTH,
Filipe

If you are going to build RPMS for more than one arch you will likely
want this:

|-4-|
|   |-i386-|
|   |  |-RPMS
|   |
|   |
|   |-x86_64-|
|   ||-RPMS
|   |
|   |-SRPMS
|
|
|-5-|
|-i386-|
|  |-RPMS
|
|
|-x86_64-|
||-RPMS
|
|-SRPMS


You would put all your RPMS in the applicable RPMS dir, .src.rpms in
SRPMS, and run creeaterepo in the i386, x86_64 directory (also in the
SRPM directory if you want to provide those downloadable via YUM).  This
keeps your RPMS directories clean.

You might want to put in something between 5 and i386 (like we do for
updates, extras, centosplus, os, etc.).

But as is posted above, you do not need any other RPMS but yours in your
repo.

When people create a repo, they may want Closure of their repo in
conjunction with other repos. For example, you may want to have a repo
that has closure with "CentOS OS and Extras"  ... which means that all
your RPMS can be installed with your Repo, CentOS os and CentOS extras
enabled.  Maybe you also want EPEL or Dag also enabled to be able to
install your RPMs.  (You can check closure with repoclosure from yum-utils).

So? Yum is simply hanging for him, not failing with python errors or
incompatible package messages. Rather than immediately jump straight
to the 'format C:' logic, why not simply turn up the debugging level
for yum to see specifically what it's doing. From there, identifying
the problem repositories (per the earlier advice given of disablerepo)
and narrowing down the issue are the appropriate steps.

Your doctor does not simply rip your heart out because you have high
blood pressure. They find out possible causes and then treat them
appropriately.

While yum and rpm both lack a method to tag which repository a given
package came from, the packages themselves can tell you. A repo tag,
while easier, is but one method for doing so. The CentOS wiki even has
a section on this in the
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/YumAndRPM page.

rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME} %{VENDOR}\n' | grep -v CentOS

This command will show all packages installed on the system that are
NOT from CentOS. Add an additional pipe and you can sort the output by
3rd party vendor.


If you're going to take the time to answer someone on the mailing
list, please make it helpful advice that attempts to solve the
problem. Advising heart surgery (or in this case a lobotomy) for the
common cold isn't really good practice.

Filipe and Kwan -  Yes, I did realise that the fedora instructions were for 
the web server, not for mediawiki.  If I have understood Felipe aright, 
installing mediawiki under /var/www/etc will keep it in the sandboxed area - 
correct?

I'm chief contributor to userbase.kde.org, and we have several issues that 
need sysadmin time.  The kde sysadmins are overworked, and we are not making 
progress, for a number of reasons, in getting those issues resolved.  The idea 
of this is that if I can do the sysadmin role on a local installation I can 
experiments safely away from the real one, and try to find working solutions, 
which can then be passed to those with admin rights on the kde server.

If I succeed in setting this up I'll be very glad to get back to you for help 
with specific questions, thanks.

What do you mean by "sandbox"?

And I think you mean /var/www/html, there is no /var/www/etc in RHEL/CentOS...

If you want something that can later on be replicated in another
server, I would advise you to do the setup as close as possible to the
way it is done on the other server, otherwise your findings might not
be applicable to that setup...

Create a directory, say myrepro:

mkdir -vp myrepro/i386

Put one or more rpms there:

cp foo-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm bar-1.2.3-99_el4.i386.rpm \
megasuper-kernel-2.6.25-686_el99.i686.rpm myrepro/i386


Then run createrepo:

createrepo myrepro/i386

Done.

'man createrepo' gives you what you need.

Obviously yum hangs.

It hangs because he is improperly mixing 3rd party repos
with the standard configuration.

Someone suggested just removing the 3rd repos,
and continuing on.

I don't know how long this has been going on:

1) Somewhere along the line an incompatible
package from a 3rd party repo could have been
installed as a result of his yum configuration.

Just returning to a standard repo config.
Will not uniinstall any incompatible packages.

The OP should be alert to this possibility.

It is a difficult problem to diagnose.
We do not have good tools for this.

2) Presumably the OP had a valid reason,
for mixining standard and 3rd party repos.

yum-priorities is a good, but not perfect tool
for mixing repos.  Rather than removing
all 3rd party repos the OP might want to
configure yum-priorities

No one suggested to remove 3rd party repos.  IF you are referring to
my earlier post, it was given to troubleshoot the issue.  First
disable all 3rd party repos and check to see if that runs through.
The next step will be to add one repo at a time to identify the one
causing the hang.  But running yum in a more verbose mode will do a
good job, too.

Xen hypervisor in RHEL 5.4 is 3.1.2 + a lot of patches from Redhat
(backports from newer Xen versions).

You can check the Xen hypervisor version by running "xm info". Version
is in xen_major, xen_minor and xen_extra fields.

Xen tools in RHEL 5.4 are Xen 3.0.3 based.

[CentOS] ext4 in centos 5.3

[Daniel Bruno]

Hi,

Recently I build a filesystem in a device using mkfs.ext4 but when I
tried to mount the device show this error:

    mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'

But when I build the same device with mkfs.ext4dev I can mont the
device without problem.

My doubt is when Centos 5.4 is released if I will have a problem
because the partition is ext4dev.


Thanks,

Well it is a technology preview. So your previewing ends when you udpate

I'm afraid ext4 is still technology preview in 5.4 although it was updated:

If you are going to build RPMS for more than one arch you will likely want
this:

|-4-|
|   |-i386-|
|   |  |-RPMS
|   |
|   |
|   |-x86_64-|
|   ||-RPMS
|   |
|   |-SRPMS
|
|
|-5-|
|-i386-|
|  |-RPMS
|
|
|-x86_64-|
||-RPMS
|
|-SRPMS


You would put all your RPMS in the applicable RPMS dir, .src.rpms in SRPMS,
and run creeaterepo in the i386, x86_64 directory (also in the SRPM
directory if you want to provide those downloadable via YUM).  This keeps
your RPMS directories clean.

You might want to put in something between 5 and i386 (like we do for
updates, extras, centosplus, os, etc.).

But as is posted above, you do not need any other RPMS but yours in your
repo.

When people create a repo, they may want Closure of their repo in
conjunction with other repos. For example, you may want to have a repo that
has closure with "CentOS OS and Extras"  ... which means that all your RPMS
can be installed with your Repo, CentOS os and CentOS extras enabled.  Maybe
you also want EPEL or Dag also enabled to be able to install your RPMs.
(You can check closure with repoclosure from yum-utils).

For that, it does not matter where you place the files (directly under
/var/www or inside your home), it only matters that you restrict
access, either in Apache's configuration or on your firewall (or
both!), to disallow access from outside. The document you linked to
does not really take any steps to prevent access from the Internet.
You might want to consider running Apache on a custom port instead of
the default 80.

Or, if you're using it on the same machine only, configure it to bind

The install location doesn't have much to do with accessibility, 
although your apache configuration can apply IP and/or login 
restrictions if you want.

But pretty much irrelevant except for mapping into http.conf restrictions.

If you have a typical firewalled LAN with private addresses, just run 
the wiki there instead of on a machine that can be accessed from the 
internet and you won't have to worry about it.  Wiki's are most useful 
if you can make them easily accessible to everyone who might use the 
information and a LAN-only connection may make it possible to avoid any 
other restrictions.   If you need an internet-facing wiki, you have to 
be much more careful, though.  Since the point is to allow easy 
modification and uploads they are very likely targets for 
vulnerabilities and you have to keep the code up to date.

[CentOS] which ldap do you like

[Gregory P. Ennis]

To All,

I am going to try my hand at setting up an ldap server.  I have looked
at what is available and would like to ask your opinions as to what is a
good one to have.

openldap, centos-ds, and freeipa seem to be high on everyone's list.
Which one do you like, and does it have a good setup tutorial I could
use.  So far the tutorials I have looked at seem out of sync with the
curent versions of ldap servers.

Does it have any hooks to deal with network hardware and OS's that 
aren't RHEL/Centos/Fedora?  Something that only handles part of your 
inventory sounds like more trouble than it would be worth.

Thanks, but that doesn't help much with my question since I haven't used 
RHN either.  I'd like to have some comprehensive 
inventory/monitoring/deployment tool but it has to work across different 
platforms.  Ocsinventory-ng works for computer hardware/software 
inventory and has some (not very usable) deployment features,  OpenNMS 
can monitor about anything, Racktables can show layouts and store 
configurations, but each of these have separate databases and interfaces 
with big conceptual differences.  Is there anything that combines the 
operations that people actually have to do to mange data centers in one 
(preferably free) tool?

Really. How were you able to determine conclusively that this was due
to 3rd party repository interference, and not something else, like
corrupted metadata, (which was recently a problem for the centos repos
themselves) or other related issues? Given the paste the OP showed at
the outset, there's no way to divine this short of magic, or
additional debugging.

Just as likely, some yum metadata corruption could have occured,
network issues, or a stale hold on the rpm database.

You're so incredibly quick to assume it's a 3rd party package causing
the issues, when multiple people have already pointed out this flawed
logic. You should really stop being overly judgmental and irrational.

No it's not. You're simply spreading more FUD here.

You might not. "We" do.

Yum is quite good at handling this itself with increasing debug values
to obtain more output and see exactly what's going on.

I'd assume that like other centos users, they want more things than
ship in the default repositories. Given the "mystery repos" you
alluded to not knowing about earlier, I'd say virtualmin and
postgresql 8.3 were on his list of wanted packages.

Which is good advice for later. It doesn't do a single thing to solve
the problem at hand. This is what Ralph has been telling you the whole
time. You're focusing far too much energy and verbosity on something
that has little impact on the current issue.

Stop being judgmental. Stop issuing rash and irresponsible advice.
Start focusing on the actual problem the OP asked about please.

While we dish out a helping of logic, snark, and verbal abuse
elsewhere in this thread, would you mind running 'yum -d6
check-update' after a 'yum clean all' again please. The -d6 cranks up
the output that yum produces and will give us a better picture of

Mediawiki stores pages in a mysql database, so replicating or moving to 
a different server will involve a database dump and load as the main 
operation.  Attachments are stored somewhere as individual files, though.

[CentOS] yum repo priority

[Alan McKay]

Hey folks,

I'm setting up some kickstart files for our standard configs, and need
to install munin-node, which of course does not come from you folks,

So I set up the Dag Wieers repository but in the repo file I set it to
"disabled" so that it will never get used by mistake.

Then when adding munin-node I do :

yum --enablerepo=dag -y install munin-node

But that pulls in a bunch of dependencies.  And I'm not sure where it
will pull them from.  I know that Dag has basically everything, but I
only want to get munin-node from there.

How do I ensure this happens?   I could do a hack and now that I have
a list of dependencies I could precede the above call with another to
add those, but keep Dag repo turned off.

But I'd sooner understand more on how it works :-)

thanks,
-Alan

Probably not.  I prefer to actually work on that box only when necessary.  
Simple maintenance like updates are done over ssh+keys from this laptop.  I'd 
probably want a similar setup.

I have a firewall on the router, and open imap ports when away from home for 
any extended period, but that's all.  I have a firewall on the server, 
completely open to the LAN, but only accepting imap from outside it.

Hi, Les.  Yes, I understand that.  I don't have any need for that, so I'm not 
prepared to go to those lengths.  I'll keep it within the LAN if I do it at 
all.

The next step is to talk to the people who control the 'real' site, and see 
whether they think this could be helpful or not.

[CentOS] question on wget

[Dave]

Hello,
I've got an ftp site, not mine, that has content on it that i want
to download. It's not anonymous so it requires a log in. The problem is
either the ISP has a bandwidth throttle or the admin does, in either case
inconsistently as to the point in the file, but i rarely get a complete
download. I'm using ncftp. I was wondering if either ncftpget or wget could
do like an auto get and keep getting more and more until it has the complete
file?
Thanks.

Well it looks like it does rhel/centos/fedora/solaris which just leaves windows
for me. (Caught the Solaris bit off the wiki)

What don't you like about Ocsinventory-ng?

OpenNMS is very nice:) Too much learning curve, no time atm. I use Nagios, and
would love to move off it to Zenoss but it looks like the support around zenoss
isn't as good.

Yes, you can do that with wget -c.

See "man wget", you might also want to see "--ftp-user" and
"--ftp-password" options, and also the possible use of .wgetrc or
.netrc to store passwords without passing them on the command line.

I believe it's also possible to achieve the same using ncftp/ncftpget,
but it's been a while I haven't used those, you might want to check
the man pages of those as well.

We're probably 90% windows.  Clonezilla mostly works for initial 
deployment across platforms as long as the hardware is close to 
identical but most of the other tools make linux the odd special case.

> What don't you like about Ocsinventory-ng?

As an inventory system it doesn't handle network devices.  The windows 
agent sometimes stops reporting on 64-bit systems - and doesn't have a 
way to extend what it can report about the client.  The deployment 
scheme doesn't give fine-grained control of when each target will 
install something (might be OK for a bunch of desktops with all night to 
complete, not so good for members of a server farm providing a critical 
24/7 service).

OpenNMS does more automatically with the default setup than anything 
else I've seen but there are still a lot of special cases.  They are 
adding some hooks to other tools for provisioning but so far nothing 
that I'm likely to use.  It has some inventory concepts of its own, but 
not complete enough and too closely tied to IP addresses to be useful.

I have used a cron-ned  lftp mirror script to mirror a directory on a
ftp server with username/password combo and is managed by windoZ
admins -- means requires only cheking available free space in the
destination "folder" which is shared with samba.

Long things short: lftp works so well on a desktop machine that last
time the admins did not know where the hell the machine was when power
went off and they had to switch on the machine ;-)

I did look at it some time ago but didn't like the requirement of a JVM 
for the client agent compared to the smaller ocsinventory agent 
executable.  Current server capabilities probably make it a lot less 
important today but it still seems like a lot of overhead.   On the 
other hand, that is one of the systems that has hooks to integrate with 
OpenNMS.

Install yum-priorities and give dag a higher priority.  This will make
sure that nothing is pulled from it unless it is not available in the
main repositories.  You can use the "exclude=" setting on the base
repositories if there is something there that you would rather get
elsewhere.

Excellent - about to test now!

This also allows me to set my internal postgresql repo as a higher

I've just deployed OpenLDAP and finally shutdown NIS here at work (the 
damn thing was running for literally more than a decade).

FreeIPA was not an option at all, it would a pain to us to try to 
integrate our current environment on it. If you are going to start from 
scratch, take a serious look at it. Although I think it is too RH/Fedora 
driven to my taste.

I've setup a test environment with CentOS-DS (RH DS) and it worked fine, 
  we did not require all the fancy stuff it provides. We decided to not 
go ahead with it because a) The CentOS DS packaging is not "official" 
yet (we are lazy and just want the "official" stuff) b) To enable simple 
bind having the password on Kerberos you need to recompile the package 
enabling a plugin called 'PAM passthrough' to authenticate against PAM. 
This plugin is considered experimental and RH disables it. I requested 
on the CentOS bug tracker[1] to enable it but I don't believe it is 
going to happen. RH DS has very good documentation and by looking at the 
wiki it supports some MS Active Directory stuff (not relevant to us either).

So we decided to go with OpenLDAP. Easy setup of simple bind with 
Kerberos (using saslauthd), no need to recompile the package shipped by 
CentOS/RHEL and a big user base. The official documentation is usable 
but to solve some problems searching on Google and the project's 
mailling lists archives you can easily find answers.

Miguel

[CentOS] Persisting iproute2 routes and rules

I have defined a few routes and rules with:

And now I'd like to persist those so they're loaded when the system boots up.

I'm doing this by means of calling a specific script from

that, like another existing file.

I realize this is an old thread, but I, too, was building a standalone
jukebox last night and ran into this same issue.  I was trying to
configure the jukebox by SSHing into it, and I could only perform sound
tasks, including running alsamixer and mpd, as root.  Comparing to another
CentOS box, the jukebox's /dev/dsp was owned by root and the other CentOS
box's /dev/dsp was owned by the logged in user.  Aha, I figured I needed
to be logged in as a user to the physical jukebox machine in order to
grant ownership to the soundcard.  The jukebox had no user logged into it,
as it had just rebooted.  A solution, of course, would be to enable
autologin on the jukebox. I can't give the technical answer as to why this
happens, but just how it happens and how I managed to get it to work.  I
hope this helps.

do you have the latest BIOS on that board?   looks like they have 
released several updates, latest being 2102 (assuming its the basic p5q 
and not one of hte innumerable proturbohyper++ versions)
.   This wouldn't be the first time an Asus board has had bad 
PCI/ACPI/etc data structures in its BIOS.

googling for that error indicates if you're running xen, its totally 
bogus, if you're running a regular kernel, its an indication of a BIOS 
problem, but it should have no impact on your system operation or 
performance.

FreeIPA is not an LDAP server (and has an unclear future).

CentOS-DS has all the documentation Red Hat has thrown at the Red Hat DS.

As a general LDAP tutorial, I liked the LDAP guide for Rocket Scientists:

We currently use openldap/samba for our directory services.

It uses the older NT type (or mixed mode) authentication, but so far
almost anything that requires windows authentication works fine.

The CentOS DS is likely better, and certainly supports more Active
Directory things ... and we might well use it as a replacement for
openldap/samba.

I am also using smbldap-tools from here:

This may really be the fault of the underlying SMB-protocol, but for  
me, every implementation of LDAP+Samba that I have seen has "HACK!"  
written in big bold letters all over it.

FreeIPA is really cool.
It solves the problem that most LDAP-implementations have: the  
password is in the directory.
FreeIPA integrates LDAP and Kerberos the way Windows AD does it for  
Windows - but this time for Unix.

Unfortunately, its development wasn't that active over the last year.

 From the mailinglist-archives, it seems they want to release  
something towards the end of the year (and finally update the web- 
page...)

[CentOS] Securely backing up Linux machines to NAS?

[Scott Ehrlich]

I have been tasked with having a Buffalo Terastation Pro 2 NAS box,
likely to be connected to a Linux box via samba, be the storage device
to back up mostly Ubuntu and Centos systems.  The trick is, the
machines to be backed up need to do so in an automated fashion and
make a secure, encrypted connection to my Linux box hosting the NAS.
The NAS does have SSL enabled for web admin access, though the same
login credentials are used to authenticate the Linux host via samba to
the NAS.

So what are the simplest options to back up the Linux hosts?   rsync
does come to mind, but how to do so securely from each host?   I'd
consider something via ssh, but that would mean an interactive login,
and encrypting individual files on the hosts is not an option.

NFS is also available on the NAS, but considering the security
concerns, I will not use that, nor do I want to enable any more
services on the linux machines being backed up than necessary, meaning
samba is not an option, unless it remains the ONLY one.

I ONLY plan to use samba to mount the NAS to my Linux server, unless
someone comes up with a more secure method, or even away to negate the
need of the Linux server and permit the hosts to back up directly to
the NAS...

Ideas are welcome.

Thanks.

rsync+ssh (using key based auth) or some sort of private encrypted
backup network (perhaps via openvpn).

rsync+ssh probably simpler. :)

I would guess some of the backup software packages out there (bacula,
etc) will also do encryption.

Quite a situation your in, if security is that much of a concern
glad I don't work where you are, sounds like a real pain in the
ass.

Your only options to mount the NAS from what I could see on the
data sheet are FTP and Samba.

So what I would do is probably use something like rsnapshot over
ssh. Use key based authentication so your "server" can login to
the other systems(not vise versa), if your really paranoid you
could even assign a pass phrase to the key and use something
like ssh-agent to manually run backups.

Copy the files to the linux server first, encrypt them, perhaps
copy them directly to a loopback mounted file system that is
encrypted already. Then send the encrypted file(s)/image(s) to
the NAS box via whatever protocol you want. Don't send
the data unencrypted to the NAS box at all. Treat the data
as compromised, it doesn't matter who gets their hands on it,
if they don't have your keys and passwords they can't unlock
it.

You could go a step further and run an encrypted file system
on the servers themselves to store the sensitive data, and
back up the raw image(make sure it's in a consistent state).

I can't imagine a situation where the data is so important to
do this sort of a procedure and yet rely on a such a piece
of crap NAS box as the one your tasked with using.

Even when I worked at a company that processed millions in CC
transactions a day we didn't have that kind of paranoia. Of
course the networks themselves were fairly well protected.

[CentOS] problem with a repo

[Dave]

Hello,
I've got rpmforge and epel on centos 5.3. I'm trying to do an
install of perl-Image-Info for spamassassin image scanning. The package was
picked up in rpmforge since first, but it is failing to install because a
dependency is missing. I added perl-Image-Info to rpmforge's excludepkgs
line and tried to install the package again this time thinking it would pull
from epel. This did not occur yum still tried to fetch from rpmforge. For my
excludepkgs line i tried:

excludepkgs=package1,package2,perl-Image-Info

and since the changes weren't picked up i did:

excludepkgs=package1 package2 perl-Image-Info

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.

[CentOS] mysql query logging

[Craig White]

Nothing I have done so far seems to work

# cat /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
max_allowed_packet=2MB

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
log-query=/var/log/mysql-query.log

empty

and then I added to /etc/init.d/mysqld

get_mysql_option mysqld_safe log "/var/log/mysqld-query.log"
querylogfile="$result"
-and-
start(){
touch "$querylogfile"
chown mysql:mysql "$querylogfile"
chmod 0640 "$querylogfile"

but nothing is logged.

Can someone toss me a bone here?

Craig

Try to put
log=/var/log/mysqld.log
into [mysqld] section of my.cnf
