[CentOS] pgbouncer.pid Permissions on CentOS 7

2020-07-31 Thread Bee.Lists
I’ve installed pgbouncer on CentOS7 and it’s reliant upon a .pid file:

  2020-07-31 04:58:34.082 EDT [3682] DEBUG parse_ini_file: 'logfile' = 
'/var/log/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.log'
  2020-07-31 04:58:34.082 EDT [3682] DEBUG parse_ini_file: 'logfile' = 
'/var/log/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.log' ok:1
  2020-07-31 04:58:34.082 EDT [3682] DEBUG parse_ini_file: 'pidfile' = 
'/var/run/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.pid'
  2020-07-31 04:58:34.082 EDT [3682] DEBUG parse_ini_file: 'pidfile' = 
'/var/run/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.pid' ok:1

However the service isn’t starting because the ownership of the parent 
directory, pgbouncer:pgbouncer results in some permissions issues:

  2020-07-31 04:58:34.089 EDT [3682] FATAL could not open pidfile 
'/var/run/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.pid': Permission denied

/var/run/ has special flushing behaviour which I want to retain, but I need to 
get around this permission issue.  Changing ownership on this directory just 
results in an automatic ownership set by the service, so that’s not an option.  

- Is there another location that can achieve this? 
- Is there any other way to solve this?

I can’t find anything online, other than the same permissions issue for .pid 
files in this location.

Hi R C.

The resulting installation is smaller than the image that you download through 
FTP, etc.  When I first installed this OS during version 5, I was amazed that 
the installation took a  mere fraction of the time it took to go through the 
menu.  Heh.  

Anyway, give it a whirl as it’s quick.  I’m assuming you mean a headless 
installation.  

Oh and I’m top posting because it’s logical.

Then reply to them.  Is it that hard?  

Second, if you READ the posts, you would find that the man page, is unclear.  
It was referred to, but you missed that as well.  

It’s really hard to post things when people like you two don’t read the frickin 
posts.  No matter how many times you post, most people just want to fluff their 
feathers instead of read the posts.  

I would suggest…reading the posts.  Then, read the posts.  Or get some fresh

If you look, they are not the same.  One has a parameter.  My fix was to park

su does not load .bash_profile and therefore is a completely different

.bash_profile is indeed used for logins for other users.

But it is different.  Significantly different. 

I’d rather just use ‘su’ and have the login sequence trip the loading of my 
aliases.  Moving this to .bashrc has solved that.  That’s what I was asking.

root quite often isn’t recognized as a proper user.  ~/.bash_profile isn’t 
loaded because it’s not a normal login shell when entering `su`.

So I can’t assume it’s just another user.

Isn’t moving from my own user using su, then prompted for password count as a 
login?

man su doesn’t apply to root with regards to the files loaded up upon login.  
Consequences of reading generic man pages result in more than one option.

Re: [CentOS] root .bash_profile?

2019-05-13 Thread Bee.Lists
$ man bash (INVOCATION)

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive 
shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the 
file /etc/profile, if that file
   exists.  After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, 
~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands 
from the first  one  that  exists  and  is
   readable.  The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started 
to inhibit this behavior.

But the reference to .bash_profile has some unclear restrictions or boundaries:

~/.bash_profile
  The personal initialization file, executed for login shells

First, the ~ which might not apply to root.  Second, it’s a “personal” init 
file, which also might not pertain to root.  Going from user to root (su) might 
not initiate a login shell.  I’m not clear on this. 

But, .bash_profile is not loading.

I have my aliases in another file called /root/.bash_aliases, which is a 
duplicate of my /home/myuser/.bash_aliases which is NOW sourced in my 
/root/.bashrc so it now works.

So ya, got it to work, but knowing the cascade of inclusions is important.  
root is as important to me as my normal user.

No, this isn’t a case of multi partitions, clusters, or anything silly.  I just

there isn’t any obvious choice as to where the loaded .bash* were loading from.

Re: [CentOS] root .bash_profile?

2019-05-13 Thread Bee.Lists
OK, I haven’t tested for that loadup yet, and the .bashrc is indeed there.  I 
thought .bashrc was loaded first, then .bash_profile.  This is for normal user. 
 

Just tested it again, and /root/.bash_profile is not loading.  Tried this in 
/root/.bashrc:

source /root/.bash_profile

That created a loop, because that reverse instruction is inside 
/root/.bash_profile

So for some reason, entering su isn’t loading its own .bash_profile nor keeping 
my user’s .bash_profile (expected).  

Any ideas?

OK, got it working somewhat.  I can see files and get them open in my text 
editor on my workstation.  

Do these services offer read/write abilities on remote workstations?

[CentOS] SAMBA Issues

2018-09-02 Thread Bee.Lists
Hi folks.

For some reason my smb.conf tests just fine, but it isn’t showing up at my Mac. 
 The box is showing, but I can’t see anything.  It gives me an error as well.  
All is below.  

https://www.unixmen.com/install-configure-samba-server-centos-7/ is the setup 
I’m trying.  

The smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = user

passdb backend = tdbsam

unix charset = UTF-8
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1.
max protocol = SMB2
security = user
map to guest = Bad User

printing = cups
printcap name = cups
load printers = no
cups options = raw

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S, %D%w%S
browseable = Yes
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes

[etc]
comment = RF /etc
path = /etc
public = no
writeable = yes
write list = @wheel
directory mask = 0770
create mask = 0770

[www]
comment = RF www
path = /usr/share/nginx/html
public = no
writeable = yes
write list = @wheel
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0775

[rich~]
comment = rich~
path = home/rich
browseable = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = no
create mask = 755

The ‘error’ says “there was a problem connecting to the server” trying to enter 
as “guest”.  The users “rich” and “root” won’t allow me to even try those, with 
proper passwords.  

Any advice appreciated how I can get this working.  I’m looking to open remote 
files in BBEdit for editing on my workstation.   I have full ownership of this 
server.  


Cheers, Bee

Re: [CentOS] OT: Linux recommendations for old Pentium PC

I’ve been using it for years.  I know the difference.  You run FreeBSD and you 
install ports.  The two come hand-in-hand.  

There’s no confusion.  The maintainers, the admins, are far and few between on 
FreeBSD.  The very reason I’m here is due to to just that.  That, cannot be 
said of the Linux world.Your last paragraph is on point, and some people 
earn their “keep” regardless of how many errors they make.  Historically, 
that’s the same for IBM and Microsoft, and everybody that employed those 
technologies because “IBM is too big to fail”.  Well documented in business 
cases for decades now, something that a lot of tech people simply don’t 
understand.

I’m fresh out of FreeBSD world.  Depending on the port, it can be easy and 
predictable, or an absolute confusion-fest.
