[CentOS] php 5.3 packages
Hi all, I want to install php 5.3 (php53-* packages) on customer's server with Centos 5.6 but I see that there is only a few packages.

RHEL/CentOS/SL 6.0 is build from frozen Fedora 12-13 tree, with some modification and a lot of stabilization (bug fixes and cleanups). CentOS 5.x is several years old, and in the Linux world these several years were very productive, so CentOS 5.x is very very old in Linux terms. Solid as a rock, but still very old for newer applications. that is why we all wait for version 6.0, to carry us another 3-4 years. It's like with PC's. They finally matured and developed so when you today buy ANY new PC's, even the cheapest, it will be strong enough for normal office work, will play music and movies without any problems. Even lighter games are nicely played on integrated graphics cards. It is same with current/new Linux distros. CentOS 5.x is lagging behind, but CentOS 6.x is modern and ready for most things for years to come. Fedora is unstable by itself, and new version is released every 6 months to test new stuff, so for the long run you want CentOS. Fedora and better yet SL 6.0 is excelent for testing how things work and behave, but for the final thing I suggest using CentOS 6.0(1) when it comes out.

A few of things come to mind: 1. Is your bioinformatics tool running as a privileged process (perhaps because it is being started as a daemon and is not dropping privs?) I don't think the hard limit applies in this case. If this is happening, you may want to take a big stick to your application programmers :) 2. /etc/security/limits.conf is used by pam_limits. Have you verified that that module is configured and required by pam? 3. How is the bioinformatics tool being started, and did you start your other test tools (where you checked with a lower GB limit) the same way. I don't know one way or the other whether pam restrictions apply to programs started as daemons. 4. Are you able to have the bioinformatics tool log its hard and soft limits, and real & effective uid/gids upon startup? (If you can't, then maybe write a C wrapper for it that will do this.) That may be the quickest way to tell you what your OS config is actually doing. Devin ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

But I'm not sure what "image #2" is? Or where it should be put? Incidentally, I started by copying isolinux/vmlinuz and isolinux/initrd.img to the the directory CentOS-5.6 in the /boot parition of a working linux (Fedora) system, and adding the stanza title CentOS-5.6 root (hd0,1) kernel /CentOS-5.6/vmlinuz repo=hd:/dev/sdb5:/ initrd /CentOS-5.6/initrd.img The repo option was ignored, and I was asked if I wanted to install by FTP, from Hard Disk, etc. In the end I installed by http from my web-server, after mount -o loop CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso /var/www/html/ on the server .

Strange, I install it from the DVD.iso to VMWare images a couple times a month, haven't seen that issue. Once a new release gets approved for production, I copy the contents of the DVD.iso to our PXE Boot server, and install production machines from there.

[CentOS] Problem changing server on a LAN
I'm having great difficulty trying to change server on my home LAN. At present 192.168.2.2 is my server, running CentOS-5.6 and connecting to an ADSL modem. I want to change server to another CentOS machine, 192.168.2.5 . The problem is that I cannot get the computers on the system to forget the old server, even when it is completely disconnected, and the new server is connected to the modem. It seems extraordinarily difficult to get rid of the link to the old server. Even when all the machines are re-booted they still want to give 192.168.2.2 as their default gateway. Is this a problem often met in this kind of situation? I'm wondering if it would be simpler to give the old address to the new server? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I assume the computers with this problem have their IP and associated (gateway/netmask) info configured by DHCP since if they were set up manually you'd probably remember what to change...

Thanks for your response. I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the dhclient leases, as you suggest. I'm never quite sure if one can delete leases one doesn't like? I tried with dhcp running on both old and new server. But my dhcpd.conf doesn't contain anything about the gateway. Could it? And if so, how exactly? Now I look more carefully, I see there is a line option routers192.168.2.2; in /etc/dhcpd.conf ; and I copied that to the new server. I guess that probably is the cause of the problem; if so, thank you very much. Just to tell the full story; I (or rather Windows) destroyed the partition table on my old server, though it continues to run perfectly. I've re-written the table from the information given by lshal , but I have no great confidence in my reasoning , and suspect the disk may become unreadable when I re-boot. So I'm trying to set up an alternative server. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yes, option routers is what sets the client default gateway. If you change it on the server the clients will pick it up when their lease expires - and normally on a reboot. > Just to tell the full story; > I (or rather Windows) destroyed the partition table on my old server, > though it continues to run perfectly. > I've re-written the table from the information given by lshal , > but I have no great confidence in my reasoning , > and suspect the disk may become unreadable when I re-boot. > So I'm trying to set up an alternative server.

[CentOS] text-mode system and /media
I'm running a headless server, so no GUI, just ssh logins. I don't seem to have the mechanism that automounts USB drives to a subdirectory of /media, and from googling around I think that's a feature of a GUI-based system. What implements it? Right now I manually create a mountpoint in /mnt and then manually mount by label from /dev/disk/by-label after plugging the drive in. It would be convenient if the drive automounted when plugged in. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The problem is this: you also need some way to unmount the disk. And
for FAT file systems, you need to somehow map the ownership. The GUI
does the mount in the logged in user and the [GNome] desktop icon
includes a right-click menu with an 'eject' / 'unmount' item.
Delegate this functing to some daemon running as root or to a hotplug
script (which would also be running as root), would be problematical for
obvious reasons.
Question are these random thumb drives? Or are they magnetic drives? Are
then always connected? Regularly connected? FAT file systems? Ext2/3
file systems?
There are several options:
One option is to include a line in /etc/fstab like this:
/dev/thumb /media/thumbautonoauto,user,rw 0 0
(/dev/thumb in this case is created by this udev rule:
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*", BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{device/vendor}=="Kingston", NAME="thumb"
disk-by-label is not possible since this disk is formatted FAT)
This disk is still manually mounted and dismounted, but a
non-priviledged user can do the mount and unmount and only the mount
point is used.
The other option is to use automount with lines like this in an
automount config file:
/reposi386 -fstype=ext2:LABEL=REPOSI386
/reposx86_64-fstype=ext2:LABEL=REPOSX86_64
(these are 16gig thumb drives reformatted with labeled ext2 file systems)
These drives are mounted on-demand and auto dismount after period of
idleness.

In my case they're all magnetics with ext3 logical drives, so they show up with labels. My practice has been to label them "Backup1", "Backup2", etc. and then "mount /dev/disk/by-label/Backup1 /mnt/Backup1". Or list all the possibilities in /etc/fstab so I can just name the mount point in the mount command. An additional complication is that some USB drives spin down after some idle time, and don't spin back up when accessed, leading to errors and FS corruption. I've used "hdparam -s 0 --prefer-ata12 /dev/sdb" (for example) but some drives ignore that, so I end up needing to start a script that touches a file and sync's every few seconds. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
