[CentOS-docs] TipsAndTricks/ApacheVhostDir re-org
After much ruminating about Russ's suggestions, including his addition of a second example vhost conf file, I've made some additional changes. I've added a single level contents section to give readers an idea of what's in the document, since it is getting a little large for a Tips article. I've integrated the 2 example sections. I've placed the vhost.d/ section last because it is rather large and breaks the flow for people using the existing conf.d/. The vhost.d/ section included a subsection on toggling whether a virtual host was active. I've broken this out to it's own section, since it is applicable to the conf.d/ method. Hopefully, this will make the document easier to read for those that don't have any interest in the optional alternatives or reading it entirely. It occurs to me that I could separate the vhost.d/ and virtual disabling sections into separate Tips articles. Please let me know if this is desireable.

[CentOS-virt] boot order with Xen domxml
Hey Virtualeers, When using domxml to configure a Xen domain, where is the meta spec for boot order? Before domxml, using xen-xm, this was easy: boot = 'dca' ; 1-CD | 2-HD | 3-floppy When I try adding this below with Virsh (vi), it is erased in Xen domains boot dev='hd' In KVM domains it is accepted. -- Mark ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

Re: [CentOS-es] Problema con Centos Server
2010/1/17 xOChilpili xochilp...@gmail.com: Hola a todos! Hace poco instalé un servidor Centos, en el cuál comparto archivos (música, videos y fotos) con samba y una pequeña página web. No tengo instalado Gnome, ni nada gráfico. Cuando quiero compartir música, del servidor a la máquina A, en la máquina A (que tiene Fedora 11) escribo: mount -t cifs -o username=usr //ipServer/musik/ /mnt/musik/, lo monta, pero cuando estoy escuchando música con amarok y al copiar más música al servidor, empieza a copiar pero en determinado tiempo todo se congela y en la pantalla del servidor me muestra un mensaje que dice; hda lost interrupt y después se deja de escuchar amarok y no puedo acceder al servidor nisiquiera por ssh... Y en la máquina PS.- Probé el disco duro, con una liveCD que se llama Hiren's Boot Cd. Verificando sectores dañados, pero no encontró ninguno, así ke descarté ke sea problema del disco duro (hda) Sin embargo puede tratarse de algún otro problema relacionado con el hardware, y definitivamente ese mensaje dice que el problema es con hda y en el server. No veo que Samba, ni el equipo A, tengan parte en esto (salvo que A está utilizando ancho de banda del sistema de entrada/salida por partida doble, red más disco). A veces hay problemas que son detectados por SMART. Puedes probar con smartctl -a /dev/hda y ver la tabla de los parámetros monitoreados por SMART, es la parte que se ve parecida a esto: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE ... 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 100 100 000Old_age Offline - 0 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count0x003e 200 200 000Old_age Always - 0 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x000f 100 100 060Pre-fail Always - 2558 203 Run_Out_Cancel 0x0002 100 100 000Old_age Always - 433748902550 240 Head_Flying_Hours 0x003e 200 200 000Old_age Always - 0 Cuando el valor de algún parámetro en VALUE o WORST es MENOR que THRESH, es indicador de problema con ese parámetro en particular. Sin embargo SMART no es perfecto, hay cosas que no encuentra; pero que yo sepa no da falsos positivos. Para mayor control se puede pedir un test con smartctl -t long /dev/hda (ver man smartctl). Cuando otros usuarios refieren este mensaje de lost interrupt se les aconseja revisar o cambiar los cables planos del disco, cambiar de slot IDE, e inclusive cambiar la fuente. Puedes probar directamente a sacar el disco de su máquina y ponerlo en otra similar? Probar otro modo de operación del disco (tocando el setup de BIOS)? Qué disco es? Qué equipo (motherboard, velocidad de CPU, cantidad de RAM)...? (Al resto de la lista) Frecuentemente necesitamos hacer estas preguntas a quienes vienen a la lista con un problema. Para acelerar estos pasos se podría convenir en un protocolo consistente en solicitar de antemano a quienes hacen consultas, que incluyan, o suban a un pastebin, una salida de algún catalogador de hardware y logs de su sistema. Alguien recomienda algún programa de test normalizado para este fin? -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina ___ CentOS-es mailing list CentOS-es@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es

BR Purely as an exercise in logic, if you know where the control file is but not how to change it, would it not make sense to use the menu items to modify your control file, compare the differences and arrange to export the changes however you need? E.g., comparing the before and after files, it should be a trivial matter to whip up a shell script that makes the same change externally, then send that to your 1000 installations. However, as John Doe says, this won't override local setting changes. Again, please do not top post in this list, particularly not with off-topic issues such as this one.

[CentOS] iptables default configuration
Hi, I would like to get some inputs on how to configure iptables. I have referred to CentOS wiki http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables and it has been very helpful. I have configured iptables with the help of this tutorial, but I haven't understood few things about default firewall config. - What does 'RH-Firewall-1-INPUT' chain means? This also seems to be a predefined chain, although not mentioned in wiki. - The wiki page approach is to flush existing rules and then add required rules to iptables. Is it possible to add/append required rules without flushing existing set of rules? Not sure, but I think this is where 'RH-Firewall-1-INPUT' chain comes into picture (user defined rules). Any explanation or resource link on this would be really helpful. Thanks, CS. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Rolodex for linux
As I migrate away from Windows, I need to move the data out of my old rolodex program (written in Pascal back in the late 80's) into something that runs on Linux. The data is stored in csv lines in a text file. That old custom program output the data to rolodex cards on a pin-feed dot matrix printer. (Yea...I'm dating myself). Anyway, does anyone know of a decent rolodex program on linux that also has the capability of printing to the 3.5 wide rolodex cards?

I also find it useful to create different chains for different network traffic. For example, I have a chain that allows all web access - ports 80, 443, 8080 etc. I have a different chain for file-share access - e.g. NFS and Samba. This way, I can watch what is happening with those chains specifically, without wading through the significant output of the command iptables -nvL. By using different chains, I can issue a command like watch -d iptables -nvL CentOS-MAIL to monitor network traffic on related ports. This has helped me many times in the past to see where network traffic is being blocked or given access.
