Re: [CentOS] boot hangs on trying to start sendmail

At startup, you will see a message that say Press I to run in interactive
mode, there you can reject starting sendmail when you are prompted.

Or are my repos messed up?

[CentOS] Load at 5, no CPU I/O or swap in use

2010-08-20 Thread Ed Donahue
We are currently running CentOS 5 update 4 on a Dell R910 server 16
cores/32 hyperthreaded with 64GB of memory. It is our main Oracle 11g
DB server for one of our customers and is attached to an MD 3000
storage array. We are having a load averaging around 5 but see no swap
in use, CPUs are pretty much idle and no I/O wait. We have Oracle
dataguard turned on in transactional mode. I've checked everything
that I can think of, there are no Oracle processes running which would
cause a spike. Anyone have any ideas as to what to check next?

I have another R910 configured the same way and do not see any issues
with the 3 databases running on that server. The load is at .5.

sar is showing a 99.6% idle cpu, this box only has an oracle db running on it.

It has dataguard which keeps it in sync with the DR server over a vpn.

Here is vmstat output:

No processes in D status or zombies

The NFS mounts are fine too, only two of them and they have users home
directories and no one logged onto the system.

It is also hooked up to a MD3000 where the db and oracle files are
stored, the md3000 isn't showing any alerts.

[CentOS] PHP.ini question 5.5CentOS

2010-09-02 Thread Ed Donahue
I can't seem to figure out why any changes I make to php.ini and
restart apache (apachectl stop|start; grep of any httpd processes),
the settings do not update.

php -r "phpinfo();" | grep Configuration
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php.ini
Configuration


I installed extensions via yum and they don't show up.
# rpm -qa|grep php
php-gd-5.1.6-27.el5
php-mysql-5.1.6-27.el5
php-pear-1.4.9-6.el5
php-common-5.1.6-27.el5

php-devel-5.1.6-27.el5
php-pdo-5.1.6-27.el5
php-5.1.6-27.el5

Can I load extensions via httpd.conf like how you override defaults?

[CentOS] Lost Sound after Firefox crash

2008-08-01 Thread Ed Donahue
My Firefox crashed and I lost sound, is there a way to release the lock
Firefox had on sound when it crashed?
I was streaming sirius radio at the time of the crash.

Is there a daemon I can restart?  I could just reboot but I'm not windows
admin :)
I logged out of the GUI then back in, would restarting X clear it up?

Re: [CentOS] nspluginwrapper included in CentOS 5.2 fails completely

2008-11-17 Thread Ed Donahue
64-bit flash is here, well alpha stage:

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/

Here is what I did:

yum remove flash-plugin

mozilla-plugin-config -i -f -v (might not be necessary)

Deleted this one /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

placed libflashplayer.so (64-bit from adobe) in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

Restarted firefox (64)

When to you tube and watched a video

WOOT!!!

[CentOS] acroread = resource hog

2009-01-12 Thread Ed Donahue
Any have trouble with acroread taking up massive cpu and memory?

I exited my Firefox browser and the lil bastard was still hogging up

[CentOS] libpython2.4.so.1.0 i386

2009-01-23 Thread Ed Donahue
I am running Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 x86_64.
I need /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0 for virtualbox.
I have python-2.4.3-21.el5.i386.rpm installed which is supposed to provide it.
Can I just grab the rpm and take out libpython2.4.so.1.0 and just put
it in /usr/lib ?
Not sure how to do that.
I figured a sym-link would have the app not compile correctly (if at
all) with the 64-bit lib.

Tried yum with no luck:
yum localinstall -y --nogpgcheck VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_rhel5-1.i386.rpm
--> Running transaction check

Anyone ever come across a linux server host key changing with out a

different DNS name or IP address?

I have a server on RHEL4.4 that changed its host key.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4)

openssh-server-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.15
2.6.9-42.ELsmp

uptime 944 days

Started getting the eavesdropping message from a login that is
supposed to login w/o a password.
And always did before today.
