Hey, that might be it. Although the servers are identical. I built them at different times so they have different versions of CentOS:
cat /etc/*release* CentOS release 6.6 (Final) CentOS release 6.6 (Final) CentOS release 6.6 (Final) cpe:/o:centos:linux:6:GA cat /etc/*release* CentOS release 6.4 (Final) CentOS release 6.4 (Final) CentOS release 6.4 (Final) cpe:/o:centos:linux:6:GA I could upgrade the older system to fix it. Would it still be helpful for you if I download and install it as you asked or should I just update?
