[CentOS] zoneminder-1.24.4-3.el6.x86_64.rpm

[Thomas Dukes]

For all interested, I have rebuilt the src rpm for zoneminder-1.24.4, fedora
15.

Its up and running on CentOS 6.0. Gonna have to d/l some files. Most of mine
came from rpm.pbone.net

The link is:

  Just ordered a Lenovo TS130. I think there are some issues 
 with the 
  Intel graphics with 6.0 and I saw where they are resolved in 6.1. 
  Hopefully 6.1 can be released soon. If not, I can install 
 Scientific Linux temporarily.
 
  Fingers crossed!!
 
  Or, just grab the intel xorg driver rpm from SL, and 
 libdrm, and one 
  other package, the nouveau rpm.  It doesn't make sense to 
 go all the 
  way over to SL if you plan on coming straight back.
 
 
 I simply installed CentOS 6.0, downloaded kernel from SL6.1 repo, and 
 installed it. Basically this is what was needed to make Intel 
 graphics work, 
 I think there were 1-2 other rpms I needed to upgrade too to fix 
 dependencies, but this was easy to notice during the kernel install.
 
 This way the system automatically will roll back to pure 
 CentOS when newer 
 CentOS 6.1 rpms will be available.

Thanks!!

Installed the SL kernel and firmware packages. WOW!! That made a huge
difference.

Thanks!!

 Can you expand a bit on the 'wont boot', actually expand quite a lot.
 Run the installer in debug mode and turn off all rhgb, quiet 
 etc and see what point and how far the system gets.

I get the 'Welcome' screen, I make the selection to install or upgrade, get
to 'Loading vmlinuz..', then it hangs.

Maybe the DVDs are bad. Can a 32 bit machine create a 64 bit install disc?

 
 Also, some manufacturers have been known to turn off 64 bit ( 
 lm ) support in BIOS when the device is sold with a 32bit 
 Windows. Make sure that its not the case.

I looked through the BIOS but didn't see anything about 64 bit

 
 Finally, you mentioned 5.7 but didnt say what your test 
 results there were. Does the 5.7/x86_64 installer boot for 
 you ? if not, how far does it get ? is that about the same 
 point as the 6.0 installer ?
 


I'm running 5.7 32 bit on 32 bit machines.

Thanks,

Eddie

 Edit that line, add 'debug' and 'text' to the boot line, see 
 how far it gets. Try to list the last 25 odd lines of the 
 boot messages before you assume its hanging.
 
 Also, can you quantify what you consider 'hanging'. Was it 
 stuck for 1 min, 15 min, 30 min.
 
 If the kernel does not report something along the lines of 
 'this machine does not support long mode', its highly 
 probable that the cpu/bios are fine.
 
  Maybe the DVDs are bad. Can a 32 bit machine create a 64 
 bit install disc?
 
 yes, 32bit host should be able to burn x86_64 media just 
 fine. did you sha sum check the isos files before trying to 
 do the burn ? That would be a good indicator about bad or 
 incomplete data.
 
  Finally, you mentioned 5.7 but didnt say what your test 
 results there 
  were. Does the 5.7/x86_64 installer boot for you ? if not, how far 
  does it get ? is that about the same point as the 6.0 installer ?
  I'm running 5.7 32 bit on 32 bit machines.
 
 Well, since we are hoping to help you with the ts130, it 
 would only really be relevant if you were to try the 
 5.7/x86_64 installer on this machine. If nothing else, as a 
 data point to compare and test the 64bit'ness of this machine.
 
 As a second data point, you could grab the c6/x86_64/livecd 
 and see how you get along with booting that.

SUCCESS!! Finally!! Not sure if the DVD drive in my 5.7 machine is bad or
what, but I have a trash can full of 'coasters'. Thank goodness I had some
DVD+RWs!!

Doing updates now. Unbelievable how fast this machine is (well, as compared
to the CIRCA 2003 Netvistas I'm using). Did an install in under 15 mins.
Never did see options for partitioning.

I do miss the old startup where you can see if services start or fail.

Thanks, everyone, for all the help!!

I'm sure I'll have more questions later as 6.0 is much different than
previous versions. :-)

It won't boot CentOS 6.0 64 bit, Scientific Linux 64 bit 6.1, but will boot

Any ideas? Otherwise, its going back to Amazon Monday and I'm done. Will

 No thank you. HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL are my chosen tools 
 for my systems.
 
 I have written 20+ complete systems using these and found 
 them to be fast and very effective. Everyone who has seen my 
 HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL systems has been favourably impressed 
 (me too!). MySQL is a fast database system. Never ever used a 
 SQL join or view, just well designed databases with carefully 
 planned tables - that is the art of good programming.
 
 Ajax/Jquery is someone else's parametrised programming 
 language. It adds complexity and overhead to what is 
 fundamentally a very basic task. Ajax etc. seem to appeal to 
 people who are not good (or natural) programmers.
 Ajax etc. is like programming with boxing gloves on and 
 taking several weeks to do it. If they want to use it, let them.
 
  also, I'd suggest using postgresql for better data integrity, and 
  anything-but-php (Python?) for better webside security.
 
 I have been using MySQL on Linux for about 4 years and never 
 had a problem. What security issues has PHP ?

I, like you have been using mysql/php for ecommerce since 2003. Never had
and issue except RHEL/CentOS is about a release behind everyone else.
Stability is one thing, holding back is another when Fedora is 3 or 4
release ahead. Again, not CentOS's fault.

 tnx.

I'm new to this but I would think you would want a separate LV for each
guest. Seems I read somewhere, that you need one core per guest as well.
That's why I'm opting for the Xeon processor rather than the iCore(x). Four
cores v. two. More options.

Can't believe this thread hasn't stirred more response. Maybe we all are in
the learning phase.

[CentOS] Vitualization and Partitioning

[Thomas Dukes]

Hello,

OK, getting ready to order a new machine and had some questions about 6.0.
It will have a single 500GB HD.

When I do the install, do I or should I setup a separate partition for guest
OS's? From the redhat docs, it looks like the guest OS's reside at
/var/lib/libvirt/images/.  I may combine my windoze XP on the CentOS machine
so would I need to create a partition and format that at installation? If I
decide to wait and go with Windoze 7 can I still create the partition later?

I would like a partition scheme that allows for easier upgrades or installs
without losing data.

Thanks, I'm more confused now that when I started reading about this stuf..

 That mainly depends on how the USB data connection to your 
 iPhone shows up on the Linux box.  If the iPhone shows up as 
 a network connection (i.e., it's a peer and you have 
 networking over USB) then you just need to make sure that 
 data on that connection still goes through IPtables.  If the 
 iPhone just shows up as a mass storage device, you'll first 
 have to figure out how to get it to show up as a peer.
 
 I'm interested in whether you can make this work since I will 
 need a similar capability (smart phone acting as Internet 
 gateway) in the near future.
 
Hi Dave,

If this works out I will post it. If I can find a router or switch with a
USB connection, I think it would work. I would like to keep the local
network wired. Probably can make it work if eth0 is wireless.

I was wrong in the previous post about the u/d rate. What I was seeing was
the transfer from my iphone to my laptop. Sorry.

[CentOS] CentOS 6.0

[Thomas Dukes]

Hello,

Can anyone pls tell me if a ThinkServer TS130 with a E3-1225 Xeon processor
is compatible with CentOS 6.0? I would like to upgrade from 5.6 but my
hardware will not allow me to do so. I do not wish to buy something that is
incompatible as I already have that now.

The TS130 is replacing the TS200v which is RHEL 6.x certified. The TS130 has
an Intel mobo and uses the C206 chipset. I do not know the model number for
the mobo itself.

I have spent the last 45 minutes on the phone with Lenovo and talked with
'Peggy' seven different times before being disconnected.

TIA,

Eddie

 It looks like the TS130 is a scaled down version of the TS430.
 The RedHat hardware certification catalog shows the TS430 as

 It looks like HP also has certified hardware on RHEL with the

 Caveat Emptor of course.  I have no direct or conclusive

 Not absolutely sure about this, but I think E3-series is very 
 close to 2nd generation i3/i5/i7.
 
 A while ago I installed CentOS 6.0 to Acer 7550 laptop that 
 uses integrated Intel HD Graphics of i5 CPU.
 All I got with 6.0 kernels was vesa 1024x768 resolution. I 
 found out 6.1 shoud fix this. Since CentOS 6.1 wasn't out 
 then, I installed kernel from Scientific Linux 6.1 (another 
 RHEL clone) and theafter I got very nice graphics -and 
 high-resolution console also in runlevel 3 to my CentOS 6 laptop.
 
 So, I would say 6.0 doesn't support Intel graphics of that 
 CPU, but 6.1 should do it. Don't know about network etc, but 
 at least it fixes the graphics -I guess that server uses 
 integrated graphics since they've chosen a CPU that has it.
 
TiN,

Graphics are the least concern as this will be a server not a workstation.
My eyesight can't much see more than 800x600 anyway.

But, thanks for your response, its much appreciated!

[CentOS] OT: Hardware upgrade help

[Thomas Dukes]

I would like to upgrade my system to a 64 bit machine. I'd like to find a
bare bones platform to build on. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on
this as it is a home system. I looked on the CentOS sponsor page but only
saw hosting services.

I haven't kept up with hardware in years so I'm dumber than dirt on what's
out there. I would prefer a desktop so I can stack it. Don't think I need to
do the Xeon as that would be overkill for a home user.

This would be replacing my 'server' so I need PCI slots for an additional
NIC and a 32 bit video capture card used for zoneminder. Not sure what PCI
express is or if my cards would work in those slots. Yep, I'm running 8 yrs
old machines, IBM NetVistas. :-(

Any help or referal to a sponsor would be greatly appreciated.

  what's out there. I would prefer a desktop so I can stack it. Don't 
  think I need to do the Xeon as that would be overkill for a 
 home user.
 
 any Intel Core 2 or newer, or AMD Opteron processor from 
 about 3-4 years 
 ago or newer would suit you just fine.   the newest ones have 
 4+ cores.

What determines if it's a 64 bit machine? Dual core?

 
  This would be replacing my 'server' so I need PCI slots for an 
  additional NIC and a 32 bit video capture card used for zoneminder. 
  Not sure what PCI express is or if my cards would work in 
 those slots. 
  Yep, I'm running 8 yrs old machines, IBM NetVistas. :-(
 
 parallel 32bit PCI is becoming obsolete, although many 
 motherboards have both PCI-E and legacy PCI slots...  
 PCI-Express is not physically or 
 electrically compatible.   ISA is totally history, you won't 
 find an ISA 
 slot on anything made in the past few years.   Most newer NICs are 
 PCI-Express anyways.   I do wish more desktop motherboards had 2 
 ethernet ports, and more servers had 4 standard.
 
 Any suggestions on a mainboard with that can accommodate my needs?

Thanks!!

 I suggest:
 
   mini-tower / half-tower
   AMD 4 core processor with virtualization facility
   (AMD are cheaper than Intel in Europe)
   (if buying Intel get the virtualization facility)

Strange, just installed virtualbox this past weekend. I prefer Intel
processor as well as Intell for the mainboard. Although I did have an AMD
DX-40 386 and it was solid. OK, I'm telling my age.

   8 GB RAM

Was wanting at least 4GB would settle for 2.

   motherboard
   with PCI Express and 1 or 2 older pci slots
   4 SATA (and 2 PATA (ISA) for any old drives*)
   USB 2 or even USB 3
   Ethernet controller
   sound chips
   DVD writer
   500 GB SATA HDD
   HDD caddy for easy removal of the HDD
 
 * Some ASRock motherboard have it
 
 The cheapest source is likely to be found on-line by Googling 
 or looking at a major web buying site.

I tried that and I'm blown away. The machines I have now have been rock
solid and I bought them used. They are like me, old.

 
 Good luck.

 Just because something is old, one shouldn't automatically 
 thrown it away :-)

Exactly! These NetVistas have been rock solid and have a lot of life let in
them but it seems the operating systems are passing them by.

 
 You need to do a little on-line reading about USB (the 
 effective replacement for Centronics (parallel) ports and 
 RS232/RS423 serial ports. Also about the PCI replacement 
 called PCI-Express.
 
 The older ISA (now called PATA = Parallel ATA) has been 
 replaced by SATA (Serial ATA). SATA has 3 speeds. Most new 
 disks are either SATA 2 or SATA 3 speed.
 
 Modern motherboards have on-board networking (Ethernet) and 
 sound chips which replace the plug-in cards.

These NetVistas have on board networking, sound and graphics. They served me
well. If I was a gamer, they wouldn't cut it.

 
 It is an exciting world out there, even if a little confusing 
 with all the non-stop modern technology and new names to learn.
 
 Why get second hand when new can be brought for little money, 
 if you hunt-down a bargain. That is what I always do.

Well, that's what I'm trying to find out but things have evolved so much
since the last time I made an upgrade. I remember in the old days people
wouldn't upgrade the OS. I'd bet there are still folks running apache 1.x.

 
 Centos 6.1 should be out soon so you can have a fresh start.
 

Thanks again for your help!

 Ars Technica also has system guides, but less frequently, and

 @Thomas: I'm a newbie home user, with CentOS on our 
 Desktops, and Red Hat Linux, before that.
 
 I do not believe you understand the philosophy behind CentOS 
 (an Enterprise OS) or RHEL (the upstream distro). This is a 
 distro with a
 *LONG* life, and without the latest and greatest, for 
 security and stability reasons.
 
 It has always been recommended to do a Clean Install when 
 moving from one major version (ie: 5.x) to a newer version 
 (ie: 6.x) and then to Restore your data, from your backup.
 
 If you do it in some other fashion, there are apt to be 
 problems, which will probably not be supported on this list.  
 If you break it, you will fix it.
 
 There is a lot of information available, on CentOS.org in the Wiki.
 HowTos, FAQs, etc. If you look there, you will find many 
 things explained clearly.
 
 Also, if you search the archives of the mailing list, you 
 will find a ton of information, from a large group of highly 
 knowledgeable users.
 People who work with CentOS in the Enterprise, all day, every day.
 
 Installing non RPM software on an RPM Distro like CentOS is 
 frowned upon. That is the worst way to do it. There are 3rd 
 party Yum repositories, with lots of things that have been 
 packaged for CentOS and you can install them with Yum, once 
 you have the Repository data ready for yum.  You probably 
 won't need to rebuild many packages, if any, if you use the 
 3rd party repositories. GL 

I have never had a problem upgrading a CentOS release since I started with
3.x. Seems now, I can't even upgrade from 5.6 to 5.7. I have never had to do
a complete re-install since moving from Slackware 1.x to Redhat 2.x except
once when I had a hard drive failure.

I'll be moving to Ubunto. They have a 3 year window for support on a
distribution unlike CentOS/RHEL. They seem to be more user friendly for a
home networking environment.

The software package I use which takes hours of trial and error to compile
and install is as simple apt-get install under Ubunto. There are no rpms for
zoneminder 1.24.x. The compliation of ffmpeg/zoneminder seems to be an issue
with CentOS with the outdated php/mysql and other various libs.

I can see the direction RHEL is taking and its more and more like Microsoft.
The enduser is having to be more and more dependent on the provider. CentOS
has its hands tied.

I thank all for the help I have recievied over the years, its just not
beneficial to stay this current direction.

VaResearch back in the mid 90's, change to Redat 2.0, then Fedora, then to

 A low skill user was never able to go from 2.1 to 3, nor 3 to

 go from 5 to 6.  This is the policy of the upstream, and a 
 sensible one, because of invasive changes each major release

 That said, the CentOS wiki has an UNSUPPORTED method for

 Much worse -- you could not steal binaries and license keys

 put those packages on your box without using the packaging

 You should be able to connect to the web service from the 
 internal lan 
 using the internal ip and also to the smtp service. But I 
 guess your web 
 service is probably apache doing proxy work unless you have a 
 different 
 meaning to 'internal boxes can access the internet'...
 
 What services were internal boxes supposed to be able to 
 access again? 
 webmin? mysql? dns?

Not really relying on my server for dns for the local machines, just for
local services, ftp, webmin, local web. I'm not on a commercial account with
my isp so 'external' mail is not an issue.

I have most services turned off but can activate them , remotely, from
webmin if I need ssh or ftp.

 ftp is not running, webmin is blocked. You should be able to 
 connect to apache. samba is not running either.

ftp is turned off. Samba, I thought was running but haven't tried to set it
up as I was more interested in just accessing web services, locally.

 Well, I guess you first need to allow connections to webmin 
 (from INSIDE
 - even if you are absolutely certain no one can guess your 
 password) unless you are only going to do it from the desktop 
 on the box. No rules for ssh so you will need to add them if 
 you do enable ssh.

I can ssh in remotely but don't have a need for it locally. I can access
webmin remotely but not from a local machine. I see no need for my server to
use additional resources for the x window environment. I don't use webmin
that much except when I need to turn a service on or off remotely or want to
upload a file to the server without having to turn of ftp.

[CentOS] DNS or firewall problem

[Thomas Dukes]

Been working this for over a month now and I'm stumped.

Everything was working until the 'crash'. Backup was no good so I did a
fresh install of centos 5.5. Trying to get things back like they were but
its been a really long time since I had to set things up from scratch,
Redhat 2.0.

My centos server acts as a gateway/firewall/router for my home network.
Internal machines can access the internet. The server can access the
internet. I can access my server/services from outside the local network but
internal machines cannot.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks,

--Eddie

 Are you running a proxy for http? It would be rather 
 surprising that internal machines can access the Internet 
 without forwarding turned on otherwise. When you say internal 
 machines cannot access your server, are they connecting to it 
 via the local interface's ip or the Internet ip? 
 Are the services bound to the local interface?


I did notice today there is a squid.conf file in my /etc/httpd/conf.d
directory. It appears it is configure for the local domain only.  I renamed
it and restarted apache but that didn't work.

The server has two nics, one for internet and one for the local network,
connected to a switch. eth0 is connected to the uplink port.

 I have more or less the same setup as you, and I have
   net.ipv4.conf.ip_forward = 0
 in /etc/sysctl like you,
 but I have no problem accessing my server from my laptop.
 
 I am running shorewall,
 and it would be easy to set this up
 to have the effect you describe.
 
 I have the line
   loc $FW ACCEPT
 in /etc/shorewall/policy .
 The default is
   loc$FW REJECT  info
 which would have the effect you describe.
 
 Nb I don't really understand iptables,
 but I find shorewall does most of the thinking for me.

I use the iptables firewall rules in the linux ip masquerade howto. Been
using it for years without a hitch.

iptables.

[CentOS] Resolv.conf being overwritten

[Thomas Dukes]

I am trying to add 127.0.0.1 to my resolv.conf. I added it through the
system-config-network but if I reboot, its gone. I do not have the caching
nameserver package installed. My ISP's nameservers are there. It must have
something to do with DHCP.

Also, in the network config GUI, should I select the IPv6 option for either
or both network cards?

 Hello TIA
 
 If you do not have a local/LAN DNS server neither a caching 
 DNS configuration on your machine, I can't see a reason to 
 add localhost to the list of your DNS servers...
 
 The idea behind DHCP is to distribute gateway, dns, ntp and 
 other servers to the clients, beside the IP addresses.
 It's the way it works to have the /etc/resolv.conf 
 overwritten on machine reboot and DHCP refresh.
  
 You might setup your own local DNS server and distribute this 
 one as the first in the list of DNS servers by your active 
 DHCP server.
 Or you might work with /etc/hosts in order to define a few 
 important/static machines inside the LAN.
 
 I'd suggest not activating IPV6, but configuring IPV4 correctly first.

I had this all setup on an upgraded 5.5 system. An app crashed and I tried a
restore from a backup and hosed the system. I can even get my old files off
the backup to the new system. Its been a really long time since I had to set
this stuff up. Everything had been working fine for 6+ years.

Working on DNS but this stuff is getting deep for an old guy.

No, I haven't even heard of it. :-(

I've been with CentOS for a long time. Ran RedHat for a longtime, since
around 2.0, the went to Fedora, got tired of stuff not working, so I
switched to CentOS. 

I'm not an IT guy. I have a website that I use it for testing, etc. This is
only about the 3rd 'clean' install I've done since about 1997. I had 5.5
installed as an upgrade until I mucked up an app and tried to restore it
from backup and hosed everything. Now I'm trying to play catch up.

I now have my local network able to connect to the internet. Don't have DNS
setup yet or sendmail. I'm a little afraid to try to restore those files
from my backup as that's what got me in trouble.

I will say, everything is running a lot faster so maybe this wasn't so bad
after all.

Thanks,

Eddie

 I don't have a real use for it right now but I have one 
 running under vmware to test and migrated some big imap 
 mailboxes over from an old smeserver.  It seems to be very 
 well done with a very responsive web interface for management.
 

I like CentOS. While it might not be for the average Joe (me), the folks
here are really helpful and knowlegeable. 

Did a really short stint with 'White Box' until that kinda fizzled.

I have no reason to leave CentOS.

 Fedora?? You're joking, right? 
 
 This is this a production server?

Right, by the beep codes, it indicates video memory is the problem.  

I think we found a stick of this memory.  Hopefully, it will be compatable.

We have backups but its only database files.  C-Systems got us good, but its

 Please be careful when doing this. It's very common (using 
 irc support as a basis for evaluation) to have users grabbing 
 any old rpm they come across from here and installing it. 
 Make sure it's an rpm that's actually built for RHEL/CentOS 
 of the appropriate version. There are a number of support 
 requests for folks who have slapped in a fedora, mandrake, or 
 aging redhat package only to find things are now broken.

Exactly why I was advocating it be in the CentOS distribution.

The rpm I used was mod_security-2.5.9-1.el5.i386.rpm. There was one lacking
dependency, lua-5.1.4-1.el5.i386.rpm.

So yes, do not install any rpm package that is not of the appropriate
version.  Be there, done that, bought the tee-shirt!

 
  This should be made part of the CentOS extra, contribs or whatever!!
 
 
 mod_security is in the highly public EPEL 3rd party 
 repository, as well as directly from the mod_security 
 website, and several other 3rd party repos, jason litka, 
 etc... While it might be nice to bring it closer to the 
 distro, it's not exactly lacking in distribution.

It may have a lot of false positives indeed. You need to make a lot of

I've had to make two tweaks for my stuff to run, but I'm not running a

Really don't know why a hacker would be interested in my home system except
for attacking other sites which I discovered this weekend.

 I would make it a little bigger as 100M depending on how much

I have 1GB of RAM.  What would be a good size?

 
 If you have been hacked, like it seams you have, you should 
 first find out how the guy got in. Do you have a webserver 
 running? Firewall enabled? Then just to be safe I would 
 always reinstall as you never know what he might have done.

The udp.pl file was owned by apache.  Not sure that would matter.  I have no
cluse as to how it got there.  The date on the file was oct 09 and those
logs have already been rotated out.

 
 Then you can modify the tmp in fstab

Running a full backup now.  When complete, I will make the changes to fstab.

 No it isn't.  The main thing you need is
 
 mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M,mode=0755 tmpfs 
 /var/www/www.example.com/cache 
 
 You would adjust size to be the size of the vmdisk you want, 
 and adjust /var/www... to be /tmp.  If you want this on boot, 
 put the appropriate entry into /etc/fstab:
 
 tmpfs /var/www/www.example.com/cache tmpfs size=100M,mode=0755 0 0
 
 (same adjustments here)

Hello,

I've been running zonemider for a about 6 months.  I installed 1.23.3 but
have not been able to get 1.24.1 to work properly.

Do not use the rpm version of ffmpeg.  If you have already installed it,
uninstall it.  Been there, done that!

I followed this guide with no problems:
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/CentOS

Also, when you do the svn thing, do it in steps.  That may help as well.

I see you are following the guide.  What version of zoneminder are you

more current version to get 1.24.1 to complie.  I'm using version 17697.
Its just what was available the day I re-installed 1.23.3 after I have

Do a search for my posts tdukes on the forum.  I posted some steps I used

CentOs zoneminder users,

I have been trying to install zoneminder on Centos 5.3
(2.6.18-128.1.16.el5xen) and have hit a brick wall with
   ffmpeg which
zoneminder has as a dependancy.

There were no rpm's in centos or rpmforge so I have 
 followed the 
instructions on the zoneminder website for a CentOs install.

I have posted a note on the zoneminder list, but have not
   been able to
get any takers to assist me.  I am not a C programer so I
   have a lack
of understanding as to how to proceed.

I have followed the steps outlined on zoneminder site 
 as to how to 
install on Centos 5.3

http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/CentOS

The sequence step I have not been able to pass beyond 
 with these 
instructions is the following :

svn checkout -r 11879 svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk
ffmpeg cd ffmpeg/ ./configure make

When I execute the make command I get the following that
   results in an
Error message.

I noticed that some of you have been able to use zoneminder
   on Centos
5.3, Can you help me get zoneminder installed.

Thank you much,

Greg Ennis
P.S.  here is the output of make
   
   
   Sorry,
   
   I see you are following the guide.  What version of 
 zoneminder are 
   you trying to install?  1.23.3 will work with ffmpeg 11879, but I 
   had to use a more current version to get
   1.24.1 to complie.  I'm using version 17697.
   Its just what was available the day I re-installed 1.23.3 after I 
   have problems with 1.24.1.
   
   Do a search for my posts tdukes on the forum.  I posted 
 some steps 
   I used so I could go back to them if needed.
   
   Eddie
   
  
  
  PS,
  
  I used the following configure parameters:  --enable-shared 
  --enable-swscale --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads
  
  
 Eddie,
 
 Hey ... Thanks for the heads up.  I will back out the rpm 
 instal of ffmpeg, and check out your notes.  Wish I could 
 launch into it now, but my wife has an outing planned so I 
 will have to wait until tonight or tomorrow to pursue your thread.
 
 Again,  thank you very much
 
 Greg

No problem, HTH.

Eddie

I have used godaddy for hosting my e-commerce site for years.  You probably
need to go with one of their shared servers or dedicated servers.  You won't

Good one!!  :-)

Wasn't trying to upgrade to the newest release.  I run a 'yum update' daily.
I only have Centos repos installed so I don't know how I have a version of
nss newer in 5.2 than 5.3.

As someone suggested in a later reply, I'll wait a day or two and try again.

 The version of nss you have installed is from the epel repo 
 not base CentOS so it is conflicting with something from the 
 5.3 release. Remove the old version of nss, do the update and 
 reinstall nss if required. I had a similar problem with one 
 of the NetworkManager rpms from the epel repo.
 
 Regards,
 
 Tony
 

Ouch, bet this is going to be a nightmare!  No telling what else might be
dependent on nss.

 Try the following:
 
 rpm -q --queryformat \
 '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH} Vendor: %{vendor}\n' nss
 
 I get the following:
 
 nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64 Vendor: CentOS
 nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos.i386 Vendor: CentOS
 
I have the same:  nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos.i386 Vendor: CentOS

 That looks like what you have. So the question then is what 
 requires the
 2.el5 release?
 
 That's strange because the version is the same, it is 
 nitpicking over the release. Unless there is an epoch 
 involved, it seems some package somewhere might have a 
 release specific requirement, which is suppose to be a nono.
 
 Try yum --exclude=nss update
 
 and see if it tells you what package is bombing out on the upgrade.

The error I got when I ran 'yum update' was:

Error:  Missing Dependency: nss = 3.12.2.0-2-el5.centos is needed by package
nss-devel

Maybe all the packages (nss) weren't available on the mirror at the time I
ran the update.  I see where nss-devel is 'set to be updated' but I don't
see nss in the list.

OK, here's a new one.

Changed all references in repo file to baseurl from mirror, ran yum clean
all.

Now I get:

Package pyzor needs python-abi = 2.3, this is not available.

Of course, I ran yum install python-abi with no luck.

 The python in 5.3 is 2.4
 
 pyzor is not in CentOS or EPEL.
 Either the repo you got it from needs to update for python 
 2.4 or you need to try to get ahold of the source rpm, remove 
 the package, yum update, and then rebuild the src.rpm against 
 python 2.4
 
 rpm -e pyzor
 
 should remove it.

Thanks, I think that did it.  I also have to remove some perl modules
mailscanner installed that caused conflicts.

Guess I'll know by morning.

  Is this because of the way the RedHat tool sets up the firewall?
 
  Thanks for any responses.
 

  

  
  First, have you installed iptables, shorewall, and tcp-wrappers 
  installed?
 
  Second, have you tried the failed grep expression, i.e., have you 
  tried
 
iptables -L INPUT | grep -q fail2ban-SSH
 
  As to why this would fail, you need to ask on the 
 fail2ban mailing 
  list since evidently this appears to be part of the installation.
 
  The iptables can be setup by anyone - RedHat simply provides a 
  default set of rules.
 

  

  Actually, it is a rather OS dependent package and the rules for 
  CentOS are difficult to write. That really doesn't belong on the 
  fail2ban list either.

  
  Please post the iptable rule which you is believe is OS dependent.
 

  You don't need shorewall, just the standard CentOS 
 firewall works fine. 

  
  It depends upon what the OP installed. The fail2ban web page 
  recommends shorewall be installed - so there's a chance the OP 
  installed it.
 

 First, I installed the RPM from dag. Some of it was set to go 
 out of the box. Seems like I didn't need to do anything for 
 SSH rules to work besides turning it on. Seems like VSFTP was 
 pretty close. Dovecot was a write I think I might have 
 done... or a major rewrite. Also, as there are differences 
 between CentOS 3, 4 and 5... I'd also need to know which 
 version you're running.
 
 This really is a great tool. It is not easy to create rules. 
 I was actually thinking that a CentOS fail2ban wiki or 
 something might be nice. If it were divided into separate 
 versions, we could share rules there. It took me about 3 or 4 
 hours to write and test just one. But again, I'm really slow at RegEx.
 
 I keep seeing more attacks on just about every service available. 
 Dovecot logins being the latest. VSFTP gets hit pretty 
 hard... SSH gets pounded. But, using this also as a spam 
 filter is also another good use. 
 On one of my servers with moderate email traffic, it is 
 banning about 150 IP address per hour based just on multiple 
 Spamhaus rejects. That's a lot of load reduction right there. 
 Now, if I could start pulling out stuff from SpamAssassin 
 rejects... that could drop our loads by a huge amount. Over 
 time, it might even reduce the number of attempts... if they 
 do any purging of old email addresses.
 
 John Hinton

I tried to install the rpm from Dag a while back but it complained about
having Shorewall installed.  I have an older version of fail2ban installed
and cannot upgrade due to this.  I use denyhosts also.

I use firestarter to admin my rules.  Could I edit the requirement for
shorewall out of the spec file in the src rpm to get it to work?

Thanks!!

Have got things finally straigtened out with this upgrade however, there is

[CentOS] Upgrade from 4.7 to 5.2 problem with udev and ssl

[Thomas Dukes]

Hello,

Got cocky and decided to upgrade from from 4.7 to 5.2.  Have a couple
problems I can't figure out.

The first is I cannot access webmin securely.  I had to use
httpd.conf.rpmnew to even get apache to start.  Got it running but now I
seem to have no secure connection to webmin.

Next, I have never seen this before but I don't appear to have problems that
I have found.  Upon startup, I get the following:

 what is your netmask?

 Why do you have such a large subnet?  There are a number of potential 
 performance problems with such a setup.  I typically only see this in 
 large, bridged wireless campuses.  Little justification for it in a 
 wired network.  (I do have lots of networking experience and 
 knowledge, having consulted with a number of large deployments).

 Even with a large subnet, you should not be arping everywhere.  
 Either two things are happening:

 Your system is recording every ARP request it sees ('Who has IP
 x.x.x.x') to avoid arping later.  Bad behaviour (IMNSHO), given your 
 network.

 Your system is ARPing for every IP address in the subnet to learn all 
 of its neighbors.  WHy would it do that?  Unless you have some 
 snooping software running on your system.

 
 Hi Robert,

 I did not set this value.  Something did but not me.

 I am on a roadrunner connection with a dynamic ip.  What do you suggest I
change it to?
You might not have much control over it if you are using DHCP.

route -n


Here's the output from route -n:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth1
65.188.0.0  0.0.0.0 255.255.240.0   U 0  00 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0  00 eth1
0.0.0.0 65.188.0.1  0.0.0.0 UG0  00 eth0


will supply you with your router address. Once you now that and your
assigned IP address (and lease) you can use ifconfig to change your netmask
so that your router and you are in the same subnet.

What is the address also of your nameserver (/etc/resolv.conf) and mail
server? If these are also within that hugh subnet, your netmask has to keep
them 'local'.

My nameservers are:  24.25.5.149 and 24.25.5.150

Mailservers:  75.180.132.77 and 75.180.132.33

Roadrunner hmm.

If you restart your network services (Does RR use PPPoE?) you should then
have an empty ARP table.

How long does it take to overflow? Can you run TCPDUMP and see if you are
sending out the ARPs or your system is just building its table based on
heard ARP requests?

It takes aout 5 -10 minutes before I see the messages.  I don't know you
meant by the last question.  I ran TCPDUMP and page after page after page of
stuff is scrolling.

now, why is ARP table is overflowing is another issue entirely.

Thomas, can you try this?   Do

arp -an | grep 65.188.0.1

Hi John,

The output from arp -an | grep 65.188.0.1 is:

? (65.188.0.1) at 00:1B:54:CB:7A::05



and pick out the MAC address of your gateway router, this will look
something like...

? (65.188.0.1) at 00:17:CB:4F:97:81 [ether] on eth1

So, the MAC address above is 00:17:CB:4F:97:81 ... yours definitely will 
be different   now,

# tcpdump -i eth1 -n ip host 65.188.xxx.xxx and not ether host
00:17:CB:4F:97:81

(replacing that with your gateway router's MAC address as determined from
that ARP command, and xxx.xxx with your eth1 IP address as shown in
`ifconfig eth1`)

this will catch all traffic between you and another IP on your ISP local
segment thats NOT talking to the gateway router

paste 50 lines or so of the output of this here and maybe we can figure out
whats going on.

OK, I think you lost me on that last part.  I ran tcpdump -i eth1 -n ip host
65.188.0.1 and got:

Tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

0 packets captred
0 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel

[CentOS] Neighbour table overflow

[Thomas Dukes]

Just started getting this.  I tried the following by adding it to my
etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 4096
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 = 8192
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 8192
net.ipv4.neigh.default.base_reachable_time = 86400
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_stale_time = 86400

That pretty much locked things up.  

Then I tried another googled solution:

echo 256  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh1

echo 512  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh2

echo 1024  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh3

And adding it also to etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 256
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 = 512
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 1024

Still not working.

Any ideas?

TIA

These don't look right except for eth1.  I have made no changes to these in
about 4 years.

[CentOS] Kernel/harware question

[Thomas Dukes]

Hello,

I have an IBM Netvista and since kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2, I have not been able
to upgrade to the latest kernel.  If I do, in about 8 hours, the system
becomes sluggish almost unresponsive.  Currently I am running 4.6 but with
the kernel mentioned above.

I think I may have figured out the problem.  It seems when I reboot with the
new kernel, kudzu runs and wants to configure a different driver for this
card, Intel Pro/100.  If it does, it will cause the problem I mentioned.  If
I don't let it update the driver, it seems to be fine.

So my question is how can I force it to use the driver from kernel
2.6.9-34.0.2?  Is it something I need to add to grub.conf??  If so, what?

TIA

You could disable kudzu if the driver config you have is what you want. I
always disable kudzu on my systems after they are installed as my hardware
changes are very rare, I can't remember the last time I used kudzu on a
server.

chkconfig --level 2345 kudzu off
/etc/init.d/kudzu stop

for me this happens automatically during kickstart.

Thanks, Nate, didn't think of that.

Still, kind of curious why the newer kernels want to configure a different
driver.

What is the driver it uses on the working kernel vs the non working one?

I'd expect it to use the e100 driver, but maybe there is a newer driver with
a different name. Long ago there was the eepro100(?) driver, before Intel
started releasing their own drivers, I'm not sure if that driver is even
present anymore in the 2.6.x kernels(I used it in the 2.2.x days and maybe
2.0 I don't recall)

The driver config is usually in /etc/modprobe.conf

worst case run lsmod under each config to try to find the differences in
what driver is loading.

Nate

The working driver name is Intel Corporation 82801DB PRO/100 VE (LOM)
Ethernet Controller.  Can't remember what the newer, non-working driver name
was.

Just re-booted after disabling kuduzu.  Will know by morning if this was the
fix.

Thanks,

Eddie

Thanks Thomas,
 
Not familiar with the touch command, can you point me to info on it, or
show

 Not sure if htpasswd creates the password file.  If not, the as root, run:
touch passwords ,in the  /passwd directory.  It will be an empty file, but
the 'htpasswd -c' should create this for you.
 
I think you have a permissions problem so if you create the passwrds file
with touch, you probably won't be able to add the password to it using
htpasswd either.
 
Where are you creating these directories?  In the past when I used this, my
passwd directory was /var/www/passwd/

ofhtpasswd in Centos 5.1?


I tried creating a password file by executing htpasswd -c 
  /passwd/passwords
famsite but apparently htpasswd is not in my path, I'm getting the
cannot create file /passwd/passwords famsite error.
  
   That rather sounds like the path /passwd/passwords does not exist or 
  is not
   writable.
  
  
  Well, I just tried chomd 777 passwords and still the same problem.
 
 Can you show us what the result of the
 
 ls -l /passwd/passwords
 
 command is?
 
Thanks for asking there, actually the problem has been solved, I deleted the
passwords 
dir and chmoded 777 the passwd dir and the unsername and password were
created
by htpasswd. 
 
chmod to 777 is never a good thing.  I believe the file needs to be owned by
root with group ownership to apache at 640.  There are also requirements on
the .htaccess file as well.
 
At one time, and it may still be, there was an example in one of the
/etc/httpd directories using mysql to do the authentication rather than
apache.  It might be a little more secure but not by much if you're not
using SSL.

[CentOS] resolv.conf question

[Thomas Dukes]

Hello,

I have a centos 4.6 system acting as a router for my local network.  I
obtain my eth0 IP address automatically via DHCP from my ISP, sc.rr.com.  If
I add 127.0.0.1 to resolv.conf, it won't save it.  I tried adding this to my
dhclient.conf

lease {
option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}

The above is the only entry in the file.

Don't know it caused it but my system locked up 3 times since adding this.
Deleted the file and its fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

your ISP is supplying its DNS server settings via DHCP, this is whats
getting copied to /etc/resolv.conf for use by applications running on your
router.


 lease {
 option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; }
   


I don't think thats correct. assuming you're running your own DNS server on
this 'router', try...

interface eth0 {
  send dhcp-client-identifier 1:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; }



you need to change xx:xx:xx:xx... to your MAC address.

Thanks for the help!!

I guessing that's the MAC address for eth0?

TIA

RE: [CentOS] IPTables GUIs

Subject: [CentOS] IPTables GUIs

Hi,
This is semi-OT, but is Centos-related.  

I'm looking for an IPTables GUI to help us with our expanding
network configuration.  I know there's plenty out there, but most of them
seem to manage the firewall on the computer on which they run, or only
handle one firewall at a time.  I need one that can easily manage multiple
firewalls from some sort of central location/repository, i.e.
sharing definitions of services, hosts etc. 

I've googled and hunted, and FWBuilder seems reasonably good from what I've
seen so far.  Are there any other packages out there?  Are there any
recommendations (to look at or to avoid)?

Thanks,

RE: [CentOS] system hibernating?

[Thomas Dukes]

Hi Phil,

Hope youi had better luck than I did.  Already had the latest bios
installed.  I disabled the APM and added pci=noacpi to the end of the kernel
line in grub.conf.

Got up this morning and it was the same.

Let me know how it turned out for you.

Thanks,

Thomas

PS  Merry Christmas!!!

Hi Thomas,

I may have a solution which I found on an Ubuntu list.  Seems that my BIOS
needed upgrading as it wasn't the latest.  This is what the ubuntu list
indicated as to what the underlying problem was.  I just upgraded my bios
just now and will see what happens, i.e., if it slows down again. 

For your info, please start here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346168

Then go here for the bios update; I used the cdrom image...

 Hi Jeff,

 This wouldn't be an IBM netvista wouldn't it?  I have the same 
 behaviour on my machines as well.

[CentOS] Problem with yum after upgrading from 4.5 to 5.0

[Thomas Dukes]

Hello,

Have pretty much figured out I can't use plugins since upgrading.  If I use
yum update --noplugins to get the updates for 5.0, I get:

Warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V# DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e8562897

Public key for samba-common-3.0.23c-2.el5.2.0.2.i386.rpm is not installed

I looked back through the archives and think I may need a rpmforge-release
key but have not been able to find it.  Is this right?  Anyone have a link
for it?

TIA
