Thank you for the reply. I think it's "server", and even though I select that, it is still blocked.

[CentOS] Processes to disable
I was told by some more-experienced Cent users that there are a bunch of processes I should kill and get out of the startup folder. He said that Cent (even with a small install) has a bunch of processes that really aren't needed and just burn up processes. Which ones should I get rid of for just a webserver? MySQL server?

Re: [CentOS] Updates... What? already?
Yeah, I did a yum update as soon as my install finished, and there were 288MB of updates. Alain was right, in that RHEL 6.1 security updates deemed important enough made their way into the 6.0 repos. The centos.org site explains it: "Since upstream has a 6.1 version already released, we will be using a Continous [sic] Release repository for 6.0 to bring all 6.1 and post 6.1 security updates to all 6.0 users, till such time as CentOS-6.1 is released itself.

Re: [CentOS] svn check out failed for 'connection refused' reason
Usually as a quick troubleshooting step, I will go "service iptables stop", try what is causing the problem, and then see if it's the firewall causing the issue.

Re: [CentOS] svn check out failed for 'connection refused' reason
I apologize. I didn't even see that part. I've never used svn:// to access my repos, so I won't be able to help there. Though, what I do use is http:// to access them, because it makes for one less port to be open. You actually use apache to do it. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Subversion On Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 2:47 PM, Steve liu wrote: > thanks for your quick response > > but I really do this, see highlight... > > any else > > > On Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 2:43 AM, David Lemcoe wrote: > >> Usually as a quick troubleshooting step, I will go "service iptables >> stop", try what is causing the problem, and then see if it's the firewall >> causing the issue. >> >> On Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 2:30 PM, Steve liu wrote: >> >>> Hi >>> >>> just want to check out soft by svn, but failed for 'connection refused' >>> reason >>> >>> e.g. >>> svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer >>> svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.mplayerhq.hu': Connection refused >>> >>> and this is my iptables status and some info to confirm the DNS and ICMP >>> connection are ok. >>> >>> = >>> service iptables status >>> iptables: Firewall is not running. >>> >>> ping svn.mplayerhq.hu >>> PING svn.mplayerhq.hu (192.190.173.45) 56(84) bytes of data. >>> 64 bytes from avserver.banki.hu (192.190.173.45): icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 >>> time=200 ms >>> = >>> >>> >>> so, anyone knows the reason? >>> >>> my system is centos 6 with 64bit >>> >>> thanks >>> >>> >>> >>> ___ >>> CentOS mailing list >>> CentOS@centos.org >>> http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >>> >>> >> >> ___ >> CentOS mailing list >> CentOS@centos.org >> http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >> >> > > > -- > steve > Beijin, China > > > > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Will QA web site have CentOS 6.1 status?
That's not exactly news, since that came out when 6.0 came out. Also, it doesn't speak as to a possible release of 6.1.

Re: [CentOS] Recommended mailing list manager for CentOS 5.6
Mailman is probably what you want to use, because anyone who subscribes to any amount of mailing lists knows exactly how to use Mailman and it's features.

Have you taken a look at UNetBootin? I literally never have issues with that software, no matter what iso I throw at it.

[CentOS] NAT/DHCP/DNS/etc Settings from a Windows 2003 Server
Hello all. I'm in the process of making a small server farm based mostly on Windows Server 2003. For simplicity's sake, the only non-2003 server will be a CentOS 5.4 server running only vsftpd, httpd, and mysqld. My plan is to have this server in a 2003 Server's network receiving a DHCP address from the Domain Controller. Currently, I have two other (non-DC) servers running with no issues on the domain. NAT works as it should, and internet access is just fine. The CentOS box on the same network will not receive an IP address (only through static configuration, the non-DC 2003 boxes have no problem receiving an IP and DNS settings with auto settings) or get online. Even when defining a static IP on the CentOS box, there is no Internet access, unlike to the other clients. My question is, what could be restricting the DHCP and DNS information to the CentOS host, and why can't I access the internet/NAT forward a web server? To summarize, I have four machines involved, all located on the same network: - Machine 1 - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - Domain Controller, DHCP server, DNS server, NAT server. - Machine 2 - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - Domain member, Exchange server. - Receives DHCP and DNS information with automatic network settings. - Has internet access through NAT. - NAT forwards ports to this host. - Machine 3 - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - Domain member, Sharepoint Server. - Receives DHCP and DNS information with automatic network settings. - Has internet access through NAT. - NAT forwards ports to this host. - *Machine 4* - CentOS 5.4 - On same network as other clients, hosts web server. - Does *NOT *receive DHCP address or DNS information. - Has *no *internet access - NAT does *NOT *forward correctly. I am looking for a solution to get the CentOS server on the network like the other clients. Any assistance on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [CentOS] NAT/DHCP/DNS/etc Settings from a Windows 2003 Server
Checked the firewall, and set the static IP. Anyone have an idea what the limitations put forth by 2003 would be?
