[CentOS] Install 32 or 64 bits

2009-08-18 Thread Yaovi Atohoun
Hi all,

I am going to install CENTOS 5.3  on three HP Proliant ML 350G servers. The 
processor is Quad-core Xeon E5420 and E5335 for one of them. They all have 1GB 
Memory. Should I install a 32 bits version or 64 bits versions?

The servers will be used  an organization about 50 peoples for Web, Mail and 
related services.

Thanks

Assume you mean that the rewrites are ignored.  Note that AllowOverride
None tells apache to completely ignore .htaccess files.
Either move your rewrite rules into the vhost container or consider
AllowOverride FileInfo.

Re: [CentOS] Partitionning for future.

2009-07-02 Thread Yaovi Atohoun
I accept your remark and thanks.

I am planning to use the server mainly for MySQL and  need some space for 
Apache. This is why I have more than 100GB for /var. 
I may need more spcae for MySQL databaes in the future and this is why I want 
to to with LVM

Thanks again

Hi Yaovi,

In the future, please post your questions to the list and not directly
to me, that way you might get answers from others as well.

 Do you think that my partition is OK and I can continue?

It really depends on what you are trying to do. You did not use LVM
for /tmp and fixed it to ~500MB, but I can't tell you if that is going
to be enough for you or not, only you can tell that based on the
applications you are planning to run on this machine.

If you are not sure, I would at least suggest that you also create
/tmp on LVM, that way you can grow it if you really have the need for
more.

Yes, it is OK to have /tmp and a tmpfs for /dev/shm, they are
different from each other and each of them needed for different
purposes.

Personally, I think you should only create so many partitions for your
system if you really know what you are doing. While there are
advantages to having separate partitions (different I/O requirements
for particular applications, limit damage caused by an application
filling up the disk, in which case the root filesystem might not be
affected) it brings more complexity and more management requirements.
While LVM alleviates some of the problem, it does create its own as
well.

If you are not sure of what you are trying to accomplish and cannot
come up with specific requirements of what you need, I would recommend
you to create only a /boot partition (physical partition) and a /
partition on LVM and that's all. It will probably not be the ideal
setup, but good enough for most cases, and it will be the one that
will require the least management efforts.

HTH,
Filipe

Yes if you just want to grow /var it's OK. If you want to grow / or
/boot though, it will be a problem...

If you still haven't started installing the machine, you might
consider reinstalling it with / on LVM as well, that would give you
more flexibility in the future.

HTH,

Yes, add a new disk to the system, then run commands such as:

pvcreate /dev/whatever device it is

vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/whatever device it is

lvextend (either -l +## to add extents or -L +## to add size)
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03

resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03
