Re: [CentOS] fyi: RHEL 5.7 is out

The dilemma is whether to upgrade from 5.6 to 6.1 or stay with 5.x as more 5.x versions (5.8, 5.9, 5.10 etc. might be possible). For me the only negative aspect of 5.x is old kernel 2.6.18 whereas 6.x is 2.6.32? Is there any easy method of discovering Red Hat's 5.x intentions post-5.7 ? Will the Centos volunteers, who do a marvellous job, be willing to convert any future 5.x versions in addition to the 6.x versions, effectively giving them a double workload in addition to their normal full-time paying-jobs ? -- With best regards, Paul.

This is not free, but it is very comprehensive, and will also probably do a lot more than what you need. I have played with the trial demo version last year, and it's got alot of interesting features, including billing. It is a complete solution for web hosting providers, amongst other things. Missed the beginning of the thread, so I don't know what Keith's talking about. The two that I'd recommend that are F/OSS are bugzilla and Mantis.

Re: [CentOS] Switch from SL - Centos
CentOS has the complete RHEL binary compatibility, which SL doesn't always have.

Well, just like you could use any RHEL5 repo with CentOS 5, any RHEL6 should be compatible with CentOS 6.

Hi Russ,

I wrote about my approch some time ago ...

Send them safely off your box, and back home
I read your article and It seems we are doing the same thing?
Is there a benefit I dont understand to use your approach
versus the one I am using already?
The point you missed was that he packaged the conf gile as a RPM and then
added
it to his local yum repo, so all his machines would get it durring the
update
cycle.
Is it true that you can to (.*) to handle easier matching?
Say phpmyadmin, phpadmin, php-myadmin
Could I do something like: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}
^/php(.*) [NC,OR] and that would handle all of them?

Re: [CentOS] I have RHel6. How does that turn into Centos 6?
On top of that, it just seems logical granted the RHEL binary compatibility thing.

But, many applications look for that file and if they see redhat-release, know their stuff can run on your system and you are off to the races. I suppose the final answer was it wasn't an infringement and solved a lot of other problems. Seems I had to edit this file or name to get something to run on a server like 4 or 5 years ago?

Re: [CentOS] Colour laser printer
Dunno what your needs are but I just baught a Samsung CLP-310 which works like a charm with a headless Debian Squeeze box and shared with CUPS, so it should work well with CentOS.

Re: [CentOS] Configuring BIND to answer to two domain names (four IP addresses)
Maybe a Round-Robin configuration ? 2010/9/24 Dotan Cohen dotanco...@gmail.com Have a read for the listen on directive for BIND which tells BIND what interfaces/IP Addresses to bind to. Thanks, I am aware that Apache can be told to listen only to specific addresses. Can BIND be told to listen on all addresses? Your post implies that this is the default (which makes sense, as so does Apache), maybe I am chasing a non-issue? In other words, I should configure BIND to answer to exampleA.com and to exampleB.com with no regard to IP addresses. then in the control panel for each domain name configure the nameservers to my liking (with addresses that the server answers to, naturally)? That's it? Alternatively, you could just configure BIND identically on both machines and ensure that they are setup in a master/slave configuration so that each name server could answer requests for both domains and publish both name server records in each domain. There is only one machine. All four addresses point to it. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com ___ 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

Quite right, all of the information that I found on the grub error paired SATA and RAID. I chose this because I wanted to remove the variable of a RAID installation.
