Re: [CentOS] ugly login screen - squirrel

2012-03-29 Thread Michael Peterson
Prabhpal S. Mavi,

Can you provide a URL to use to view what it actually looks like?
Is it on an external server?

I installed squirrelmail from the tar.bz2 file available from their web
site at the link.
http://squirrelmail.org/download.php

Here is a link to the page where it can be viewed from.

 Dear Friends Greetings,

 i am CentOS User for some years now, have installed and configured
 squirrelmail number of times without issues.

 but this time it is on CentOS 6.2 x64 - i see very ugly login interface.
 of squirrelmail, i wish to mention that the package was installed from
 epelrepo becuse it is not available on centos or rpmforge repo either.

 i can login also, after login this is how i see the inside interface.

 id anyone has come across the same? any solution?
 here is what i see on squirrelmail login page:

[CentOS] CentOS and Bandwidth

2011-07-10 Thread Michael Peterson

I am looking forward to using CentOS 6 soon.

I have the torrent running to download and help others download it.

I am trying out Scientific Linux 6 while awaiting the arrival of CentOS 6.
It took a lot of work to get it installed and configured on a system.
I plan to run them both on 2 systems and see what happens.

I look forward to the release of CentOS 6.1 soon also.
Let me know where I can browse to see if I can help in any areas other
than the torrent.

If I have a T1 size pipe going out what is my max possible kB out?

I have the torrent turned up to 100kB and my VPN still seems responsive.

Thanks for all the hard working in getting this release ready.

Good job on getting CentOS 5.6 out first however.

[CentOS] Update from 5.2 to 5.3 kernel not on mirror

2009-04-06 Thread Michael Peterson

I have tried today and at least twice last week since the release of 5.3 
on Tuesday and got past the yum update glibc step just fine and have 
already done yum clean all several times and get through the first part 
of the yum update where you have to answer y and then it downloads all 
of the packages it seems but errors out and says that the kernel is not 
available on any mirrors.
The system is running 32 Bit CentOS 5.2.
It is a Pentium D system.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Is there a fix in progress for it?

 The burned CD's test fine in more than one system.
 I do have to test them with ide=nodma to get them to pass.

 The CD Drive and IDE Cable on the system I am trying to install is 5 
 years old.

 I searched the CentOS site and mailing list for similar issues and found 
 one dating back to last year.
 The anaconda errors were similar.

 I finally got 5.2 to install and the fix was to tell the kernel to 
 ignore the ide tape device.
 The tape drive is on hdd and the following allowed me to do a GUI 
 install with 512 MB.

 linux ide=nodma hdd=none
 

 Just currious does the tape drive work since install? Would like like to

 I'm using it installed via yum on Centos and it works great.  I use a

 in a lab to be imaged via PXE booting but it also works to use a
 clonezilla-live CD boot anywhere on the network to save or restore.
 

 Thanks Les and Thomas. I appreciate the feedback. I'll look into installing
 this solution.

 I'm currently using a g4u-based routine with an ftp-server running of off a
 Win2k3-machine+dhcp. It works, but is slightly awkward to use. Clonezilla
 seems a bit more worked-on compared and more of a complete solution.

 Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] iptables: forwarding on internal device

2009-02-09 Thread Michael Peterson
Hello,

The system you are trying to forward with has at least two nics on 
different networks?
However you are trying to forward between aliases on one nic that is 
located on your internal network?
And the other nic connects to a DMZ or gateway network?
This system is not a decicated routing/forwarding system but runs other 
services for network clients/servers that connect to it?

 a FORWARD or an OUPUT chain it drops them.
 

 As mentioned, I have added a rule like:

 to forward packages on the internal device.

I have been learning and using COBOL since the mid 80's.
I use COBOL at the present time for Web Programming also.
The COBOL we use runs on UNIX and Linux.
I use it in addition to PHP/MySQL for Web Programming.

I have looked at Fortran programs but never had to learn the language.
It is on a PDP 11 that we shutdown in the late 90's.

You can do that, it depends on your configuration. A standard name-based 
virtual host configuration will not work without a ServerName directive, 
because it's that directive (and the ServerAlias ones) that has to match 
what the client sends as Host header.

Have a look at the documentation instead of guessing ;-)

Kai

  


I did not guess.
I have always consulted the documentation first.
I have my Apache configuration file setup according the currently 
available Apache documentation.


Pardon my lack of sleep after consulting my configuration file again.
I do not use ServerAlias at all.
I do use ServerName for all of my VirtualHost entries however.

Please do not assume people guess just because they do not provide a 
link to back up the information they provide.
If it is not an answer from experience only, I take it that maybe to 
please those that need it I should post a link for reference in the future.
I am doing tasks with CentOS that are however undocumented other than by 
me at the present time in some cases however.


I have been working with Apache for over 8 years and do not belong to 
just this list thank you.
I consult any available manuals and online documentation first before 
asking a list anything.


After such a blatant insult I should think about dropping this list.
But I think other than your lack of disregard for my try at providing 
assistance to the list.
I have something to offer even if no one else is doing the things I am 
doing with CentOS at the present time.
I think for the time being other than a post I am working on to answer a 
post I made earlier this month that has went unanswered so far that I 
will just watch and learn and try to keep my fingers quiet as much as 
possible as far as this list is concerned.


In your first sentence you say You can do that, it depends on your 
configuration. .

Did you consult the documentation or are you asking me to do it for you.

Here is one of the sources for the Name Virtual Host issue resolutions: 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html


This example is straight from the documentation listed above.


|NameVirtualHost *:80

VirtualHost *:80
ServerName www.domain.tld
ServerAlias domain.tld *.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /www/domain
/VirtualHost

VirtualHost *:80
ServerName www.otherdomain.tld
DocumentRoot /www/otherdomain
/VirtualHost


There is no ServerAlias for the second VirtualHost entry.
This is per the Apache standard straight from the available current 
online documentation.


I only use ServerName and have not tried ServerAlias.
I hope this solves the NameVIrtualHost issue for the time being at least.

Yes, a retest confirms your observation.  I am therefore
left with the need to remove the VirtualHost that
has no ServerName.  I can access the site with an
IP address, which, I think, this is meant to prevent.

You need to remove the :80 in the VirtualHost declarations that contains 
Servername entries.

 No, that's perfectly ok and recommended. His problem was that he was using
 a virtual host without a ServerName directive.

[CentOS] Trying to use CentOS 5.2 to make a WAN Router

I have a CIDR block of IP addresses that I need to pass through to a WAN.

I am trying to have a CentOS 5.2 basic install with 2 NICs be the

Has anyone done this?

[CentOS] Unable to install CentOS 5.2 on New HP Intel Core 2 Quad

2008-08-27 Thread Michael Peterson

Our new lab has HP Intel Core 2 Quad systems with DVD/CDRW and SATA.
I can provide the model number if needed.

They stop on kernel startup when trying to boot the CentOS 5.2 boot CD.
It is during ACPI.

I have tried linux noprobe and linux pci=noacpi and linux noprobe
pci=noacpi.

I still cannot get to the first install screen.

Fedora 10 Live will not but up either.

I am using Fedora 9 from Live and DVD Install to teach a fall class and it
works fine.

Would CentOS 5.3 possibly work once it is released?

RE: [CentOS] Boot CentOS 5 to command line

2008-08-18 Thread Michael Peterson
Once you boot into GUI you can login as root or login as a user and 
once in a terminal window su - to root and then change the line in
/etc/inittab from
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:
 
You can also do init 3 after saving the change to see what will happen
before rebooting.
This will keep the GUI login from being run and boot all enabled console
screens and leave you at a character login.
 
The way to boot without any services as needed is to login as root or become
root with su - once the system
is booted into runlevel 3 or 5 and do init 1 or telinit 1.
This will put the system in single user runlevel and shut off all services
similar to rescue mode.
This would only allow you work from the console until you changed back to
runlevel 3 or 5.

Hi fellows,

Pretty new to CentOS.
I was trying to find a way to boot CentOS into command prompt instead of GUI
(or without loading any services).
Tried using 'Crl+Alt+F1' at the boot process, but, that holds the screen at
mounting and doing fstab and doesn't proceed further.
Is there anyother way to boot CentOS into command prompt without using
Rescue option from the installation CD?

Thanks.

[CentOS] Virtual Box

2008-06-17 Thread Michael Peterson

Has anyone else tried and successfully installed CentOS 5.1 into the latest
(1.62) Virtual Box in Windows XP Pro?

I can get Ubuntu and EasyS to install fine but CentOS and Fedora so far fail
to install even after several attempts.
With CentOS 5.1 it keeps saying not enough disk space even if I allocate 32
GB and 64 GB of virtual space.
I have at least 40+ GB free on the hard drive.

RE: [CentOS] mdmonitor not triggering program on fail events

2008-06-12 Thread Michael Peterson
What version of CentOS are you running?
Are you looking at root emails or having them forwarded to your local or
system account?

I have CentOS 5.1 running with Software RAID in place and I have a hard
drive failing.
I received an email first from SMART and then from MDADM that the drive was
going bad.
These occurred automatically.

I have root emails forwarded to my local account on the system and then I
check the email through pop via dovecot to get them.

We use RM/COBOL.

Just curious, maybe some old timers could help me out. I am working with 
a company that is migrating 20 years of Mainframe Software Development 
to Unix, HPUX. How much harder would it be to go to Linux, Centos Linux?

Also, anyone have any experience with Fujitsu Cobol on Centos? The 
Fujitsu people only support Red Hat, and said I'd be on my own with 
Centos. In other words if it works, then I don't care about Fujitsu 
support.

I know some of you are thinking, did someone say COBOL? Nobody uses 
COBOL anymore! If so, let me say You are wrong. Many large 
corporations are taking their old business logic that was written in 
COBOL decades ago, and moving it to new modern platforms, like Linux. 
Programatically giving these applications a GUI face-lift, while 
maintaining their original business logic. I know because many companies 
pay me to do just that. I have a client that wants to use Centos Linux 
with Fujistu Cobol, and Fujitsu says it's gotta be Red Hat, any help 
will much appreciated.
