Say Centos 6 offers and makes use of PHP 5.3. Say as time goes on PHP themselves deprecate 5.3 and EOL is reached. Would Centos 6 continue to offer security and bug fixes support for PHP 5.3 till November 30, 2020? If someone could help me understand this, it would be appreciated.

Jorge, Right now, at least with Windows vms, rdesktop is a way better way of accessing the vm - it's fast, it let's you share directories, clipboard sharing, sound etc. Spice will probably catch up with it fast though, I hope. Also I have noticed spice works better when there is additional software installed (sort of like vbox additions); in Centox you have spice-vdagent or something like that, but for Windows you need to build the driver yourself[1]. But we need to keep in mind that rdesktop and spice are not really in the same category. With spice you access the host machine, while with rdesktop you access the virtual machine directly.

Do not follow this advice at all; it will most likely wreck your server. Contact Plesk support or your hosting provider's support department and ask them about upgrading php. Plesk, like most control panels, integrates quite tightly into your system; replacing the system default php-5.1.6 with the php53 optional package may not be supported for your environment. Plesk uses stock PHP (one of the smarter things about Plesk) so you can pretty much play around with it. The problem here is indeed the fact that php53 from RH doesn't Provide php (other repos have this fixed, ius etc).

[CentOS] KVM + KSM?
Hi guys, Any chance we could get KSM support in centos 5.4? Maybe the centosplus ones or a gift from elrepo. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Who's eating our bandwidth?

For the last two years, this has been my first big job, since it involves networking eleven small to medium size public libraries. There was a hiccup some time ago when the administration hiring me wanted to do it on their own, but it took them less than two weeks to get the server hacked and lose everything. So they decided to hire me back :o) I've rented a little dedicated server at the french provider Ikoula. Really a small thing, a KVM amounting to 1/2 a processor core, 512 MB RAM and 25 GB of disk space. Usually there should be no more than like ten people working simultaneously on the library management software (running atop MySQL). For the last few days, users reported that the install was terribly slow. I checked, and indeed, the application took quite some time to respond. First thing, I wonder if the configuration I chose is too modest for the setup. Then, I took a peek in /var/log/httpd and the *-access.log files show quite some activity. Some haphazard whois on various IP addresses show me that these are no library users from around here. Like: Bogota?!? Peking?!? And quite some search engines. Since I don't need search engines for our application, I'm going to have to find a way to banish these. The log files are not very handy to decipher, so I googled a bit, and I think today I'm going to check out AWStats, which seems to be the right thing to use in that case. I'm also wondering about activity on other ports, but here also I'm taking stabs in the dark. Probably SSH, but I don't know where eventual failed attempts get logged. I also googled a bit, and I think in this domain, fail2ban will be my next experiment. I have this strange feeling that the next step in the wise direction consists in describing my ignorance :o) Any suggestions? Cheers from the sunny south of France, Niki ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Check out mod_geoip and only allow France to connetc to your server. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
