[CentOS] Switching to php53

2011-04-30 Thread Dave Cross
I have a Centos 5.6 server which is using the default php packages.
These currently contain PHP 5.1.6.

My main use of PHP on the server is to support an installation of
WordPress. I currently had WP 3.1.2 installed, but the WP developers
have announced that from WP 3.2 they will only support PHP 5. and
greater.

So I investigated and found that the Centos repo contains a series of
php53 packages. I tried to install php53 using yum but got the
following error:

  Error: php53-common conflicts with php-common
   You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
   You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
  package-cleanup --dupes
  rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I would have thought that the new php53-common package would have
obsoleted php-common rather than conflicting with it.

Is there a clean way to replace php with php53? Or should I just wait
and hope that Centos 6 is released before WP 3.2 :)

Thanks,

Dave...

just remove php and php-common

 ugh, and double ugh.   this violates the KISS 'keep it super simple'
 principle, and I can only see the extra layers of complexity leading to
 more frustration.

 I would instead run LVM only on dom0, and have your domU's creating file
 systems directly on the virtual devices mapped to said LVs.   if you
 need to grow a file system, you resize the LV from dom0, and then growfs
 in the domU

I agree and the newer domUs I have created do not use LVM. This was
one of the first domUs I created with virt-manager and when installing
the OS I just clicked my way through the CentOS installation like I
usually do, and that meant using LVM. And I don't think you are even
given an option to define the default vg name during the installation?

I would try to first yum erase php, and then install the php53 version.

[CentOS] Identifying physical disks

2011-04-30 Thread Jussi Hirvi
I am sure this is really simple.

I have a setup of 2 disks (sda, sdb) which are outwardly identical, and 
are mirrors of each other. Together they form 3 raid1 devices. Both 
disks can boot.

Now sda has bad sectors, and I should replace it. But which one of the 
physical disks is sda??

The machine boots fine from either one of the disks, (and the booting 
disk of course is always called sda).

In the messages log I see entries like this:

Apr 29 02:21:07 a134-224 kernel: ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 
123 SControl 300)

By noticing which SATA link (ata1, ata2) is up and which is down, I can 
find out which physical disk is connected to ata1 and which to ata2.

If both disks are connected, will the hd in ata1 become sda, and the hd 
in ata2 become sdb??

If you want to use the default setup but have an opportunity to tweak,

 After that, what am I legally required to do?

This is not the place to ask.

 I've just read that document and it seems to say that you could take
 all of the RPMs exactly as they are built by RedHat and include them
 on a disk, and you can label the disk Centos 6, and you are
 completely within the guidelines.

It doesn't matter if you can or not. I wished you hadn't started this 
thread. Just more dead weight for the list. Please kill it by not replying 
yourself.

This list once was a valuable peer-to-peer support list but has been 
turning into a meta-centos/rhel discussion list lately. There was already 
a lot of off-topic linux-only stuff on it in the past that didn't 
qualify for centosy things, but that at least was technical and some 
people might still benefit from it when working with CentOS. But this and 
the other discussion we had here lately is of interest to only a tiny 
minority.
Admins, please stop this trend!
Please consider opening a centos-discuss list that will welcome this 
sort of topic so we can get a clean list back. Thanks. I'm tired of 
evading dozens and dozens of posts to find the few valuable ones.

If you have only a few of these I'd rsync them over to dom0 lv's and

 if they are accessible via the Internet, then it means it wasn't
 necessary to add any IP to a bridge.

FYI: the IP addresses of host and guest don't have to be in the same 
subnet, e.g. your host may have a private, non-routable IP address only 
and your VMs may have routable public addresses, no problem. If there is a 
working bridge the virtualization software takes care of adding virtual 
interfaces as required, at least xen does that.

[CentOS] exim FASTTRACK

CentOS just announced an exim FASTTRACK package

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2011-April/017438.html
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-0443.html

While I am not interested in local_scan() or man pages,
Bugzilla #606272 looks mysterious because I can not find information
about it.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606272

The only information I see is comment 16 which is referring back
to the RHBA.

Does anyone have some insight ? What is #606272 about ?
Maybe I should ask Upstream Vendor ? Is it normal that information about
fasttracked packages is not available publicly ?

There is a mounted CentOS 5.6 DVD at /mnt/centos56. The kickstart file

It worked just beautifully, and fast too. The installer only asked me if

 http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-0443.html

 While I am not interested in local_scan() or man pages,
 Bugzilla #606272 looks mysterious because I can not find information
 about it.
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606272

 The only information I see is comment 16 which is referring back
 to the RHBA.

 Does anyone have some insight ? What is #606272 about ?
 Maybe I should ask Upstream Vendor ? Is it normal that information about
 fasttracked packages is not available publicly ?



The Fastrack release ONLY addresses the local_scan() and man page issues 
to which you refer; see here:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-0443.html

The other issue was addressed in a previous bug fix errata:

Re: [CentOS] I have RHel6. How does that turn into Centos 6?

 Are we? I don't see this and I don't understand your remark.

Has it really been so long since the upstream release that you've forgotten 
that 
we might someday see a corresponding CentOS version and have to start figuring 
out how to use it?

 I suppose you didn't understand *my* request. I ask that people behave so that
 this list remains a valuable source for peer-to-peer support.

I do understand it, but since you wanted specifically Centos issues, it's hard 
to complain about the topic of how RHEL differs from Centos, since that and a 
few quirks of yum are really the only things specific to Centos.  And it's not 
like an extra message or two is going to displace any technical information.

 Given the difficulty of getting Centos 6 released - maybe this is not the
 correct group to ask. Just saying. ;)


It seems to me that is exactly why he was asking. The OP doesn't
really want to create Paul Linux, he wants to know what CentOS does to
RHEL to make it CentOS. Superficially, grepping for redhat in the
source and compiling doesn't sound like 6 months worth of delays. I
thought it was a clever, respectful way of asking the question.

That said, I do appreciate how much work goes into a CentOS release. I
do know that it is not a simple grep! So the answer to Paul's question
intrigues me as well.

Re: [CentOS] Identifying physical disks

2011-04-30 Thread Kay Diederichs

 I am sure this is really simple.

 I have a setup of 2 disks (sda, sdb) which are outwardly identical, and
 are mirrors of each other. Together they form 3 raid1 devices. Both
 disks can boot.

 Now sda has bad sectors, and I should replace it. But which one of the
 physical disks is sda??

 The machine boots fine from either one of the disks, (and the booting
 disk of course is always called sda).

 In the messages log I see entries like this:

 Apr 29 02:21:07 a134-224 kernel: ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus
 123 SControl 300)

 By noticing which SATA link (ata1, ata2) is up and which is down, I can
 find out which physical disk is connected to ata1 and which to ata2.

 If both disks are connected, will the hd in ata1 become sda, and the hd
 in ata2 become sdb??

 - Jussi

run
hdparm -tT /dev/sda
and identify sda - it is the one with the blinking LEDs.

HTH,
Kay

Les, I don't understand you, sorry. You talk about something that I didn't 
ask for. You seem to make something of this thread that it isn't.

 it's hard 
 to complain about the topic of how RHEL differs from Centos

Are you referring to this thread? It's not about differences. It's about 
how to build Centos in a better way than it has been done till now. This 
doesn't belong here. Maybe it belongs on the devel list or on a new list, 
not here.

And I think you know very well that this thread is just the latest in a 
series of similarly off-topic threads about centos politics/policy and 
I'm referring to them as a whole.

You asked for something 'centos-y'.  And there really is nothing specific to 
centos other than it's differences from upstream., most of which aren't 
technical.

I didn't see either a question or an answer about anything but the differences 
in this thread. And while the answers weren't new, they were centos-specific 
and 
interesting.

 And I think you know very well that this thread is just the latest in a

Maybe, but it's not like we could be filling the mail list capacity with 
descriptions of how great it is to be using all the new features yet anyway.

[CentOS-docs] Edit permissions: quick cleanup of QaWiki/AutomatedTests

2011-04-30 Thread Steve Barnes
G'day

Wiki username: SteveBarnes

As per the guidelines on:


http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute#head-42b3d8e26400a106851a61aebe5c2cca54dd79e5

I'd like to tidy up this page a bit:

http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/AutomatedTests

I used it as the basis for developing my test scripts; the formatting for the 
code examples is a little wonky so I thought I'd tidy it up so others can read 
the snippets easier.

Cheers

Steve

Re: [CentOS-es] Autentificación y creación de iuna red Wi-fi

2011-04-30 Thread Hector Suarez Planas
Saludos, hermanos.

  un solo equipo, este es el Router Mikrotik RB450 o 750 ya que este
  equipo

Jejejejejeje. Buen intento, pero como dice el hermano, donde vivimos no
tenemos acceso a esos toys, así que todo lo tenemos que hacer a mano. :)
Aunque también soy partidario de hacer al AP uno mismo. ;)

 Hermano eso es muy duroi para mi, donde vivo no puedo comprarlo, desearia
 implementarlo con Access Point, que esta en cascada y se conectan aun
 Switcher y de ahi a server linux con radius

Chico, creo que tienes todo lo necesario, un AP conectado a la red, un
RADIUS sobre un Linux, solamente te queda configurar el AP para que se tire
contra el RADIUS, generar los certificados (entidad emisora con
to'lo'metales), EAP y estamos jugando.

 
 
 Dime como hacer pues no puedo comprar ni tener nada, solo tengo los AP,

Tienes bastante. Yo estuve jugando un tiempo con un AP MSI e hice parte de
eso.

:)
