Reading this, I just want to say a big warm THANK YOU for churning out one of
the finest Linux distributions.

Keep up the good work.

I don't understand that question. Yes, for web service offerings under 
your domain to the public.


You can do what you want. But if you install through the package manager 
keep the packages healthy. There is no need to move the content around. 
You should be familier with "DocumentRoot" and "Alias" instructions for 
Apache. Nginx can serve from there as well.


SELinux should know too.

I would say yes, but obviously there could be issues.

Intel provided the firmware .. Red Hat provided the source code.  Our
build seems correct.

If this is an issue, it is not a CentOS specific issue.

So, some BIOSes need upgraded to work with the latest firmware, etc.

I would check you Motherboard providers .. read about what firmware you
need to run with which BIOS versions, etc.

Btw, the link I am following on the net, 
https://computingforgeeks.com/install-nextcloud-on-centos-with-php-apache-mariadb/,
 for installing nextcloud is installing it to /var/www/html/nextcloud whereas 
some links I saw for owncloud installed it to /var/www/owncloud, ie one level 
higher. BTW, I have php 7.2 from SCL, not using Remi's repo as used in the link.

Are there any (security) arguments for using one or the other location?

Your dates are significantly off
Wikipedia has a delay listed in a table:

It is, for CentOS-7, For example:

7.0  27
7.1  26
7.2  25
7.3  39
7.4  43
7.5  31
7.6  34
7.7  42
7.8  28


For 6 .. since 6.2, it has bee3n between 10 and 18 days.

For 8:

8.0  140
8.1  71
8.2  48

And EL8 is exponentially harder with an entirely new build system and
the requirement to build modules.

How is this going to be fixed .. Welcome to CentOS Stream

Stream will be , once it is fully implemented, the ACTUAL development of
RHEL the 'next point release' on git.centos.org in the open.

It will be a rolling distro that is GOING to be the Source Code used for
next RHEL point release.

Therefore, we will have all package as they are being worked on by the
RHEL Engineers .. and you can see it happen in progress.  You can also
use it however you want.  There will be no delay i this at all.  It will
be constantly moving. There will be no 500 pacakges drop or delays.

I'm positive that the problem here is *not* the procedure (which I've done
countless times).

I can take any one of my old flash drives, write bootable images on them
(CentOS, FreeBSD, OpenSUSE, whatever) and they boot fine.

But these new no-name flash drives I just bought, they just won't work.
Anything else will. They won't. So I'm 100 % sure this is a hardware problem.

While both of those would be helpful .. neither will really SOLVE the
issue.  This is an iterative process.  You build something, test it,
rebuild all the bad parts, test it again .. rinse, repeat

We usually have the first build 3 or so days after they release.

Many things build out of order.  They get tested and rebuilt.

So .. when a point release happens .. say 7.8 to 7.9 (just an example ..
could be 6.10 to 6.11 or 8.1 to 8.2, etc)

Those packages are built against EACH other, one at a time.  Once we
build the new gcc, new kernel, and new glibc (if they are reqruies) ..
then all the OTHER updated packages are built against those new
libraries.. they therefore need those NEW shared libraries to run.  So
the new files have to be released as a set, not individually.

It makes no difference if the update is a bugfix update or a security
update.  If 500 packages get released at the same time, they have to be
built in a specific order in order to match how they were built in RHEL.

We have to build them, one at a time, then individually test them to
make sure they LINK against the proper new libraries and not older
libraries.

Also any UPDATES released to the new version , after RHEL does the point
release (so updates FOR 7.9 after the 7.9 release) need to wait until
the 7.9 release is done and tested to be built .. as they were built
against RHEL 7.9 and not RHEL 7.8

So, you can't just build items out of order at point release time.


We have to build the 500 packages , in a specific order. We then have to
test the packages, and usually rebuild several of them again for bad
links, etc.

This is the process that takes time .. testing and getting the proper
links to the proper shared libraries.

If we quickly release bad files .. then we have to rebuild them and
re-release them with different versions that RHEL has (because they have
to replace our previuosly BAD release).  That is not good for anyone.

Hopefully this answers your question.

I have had no issues with the install ISO using dd from linux to copy
directly to the device.  Something like:

dd if=./ of=/dev/sd bs=4M status=progress

Where 'of=' is the device // make sure NOT to use a separate partition
(so  /dev/sdb and not /dev/sdb1, but the whole device when copying the
install isos.

If you are trying to do something else (create a bootable actual
partition that runs from usb .. that should also be possible, but harder :)

I think the problem is unlikely to be the flash drives themselves.
However, I've had good luck with SanDisk Ultra.

"Key" is a gallicism. ;-)

[CentOS] Bootable USB keys : which brand ?

2020-06-19 Thread Nicolas Kovacs
Hi,

In my daily work I'm mainly using USB keys for work : one with CentOS 7, one
with OpenSUSE Leap 15.1, one with Slax Live for data recovery purposes, one
with Ghost4Linux and one with FreeDOS which I use for flashing the odd BIOS.

Last week I bought a set of three flashy colored USB keys in a local shop. To
my surprise, none of them seem to be able to boot anything. When I write a
bootable image (CentOS, OpenSUSE, whatever) to any one of the USB keys, the USB
key boot option doesn't show up on any one of my sandbox PCs. Looks like I just
learnt the hard way that some USB keys can't be used for installation purposes.

As far as I can tell, I need a set of 8 GB keys so the biggest image, the
CentOS 8 ISO, can fit. Can you recommend a no-nonsense USB key brand which I
can use to make a set of USB installation keys ?

Cheers,

Niki

There seems to be no support for this graphic card for Linux by AMD/ATI
that I can see.

Your only option (as i see it), is either a standalone graphics card or
somehow using the VESA generic driver.

Have I missed something obvious when using yum to install?


rpm -qlv 

shows you what you have installed into which locations on the system. 
Would have answered your question wihout googling from random resources.

Hi,

the files are in a different directory. See the .conf files under
/etc/httpd/conf.d/owncloud*

First connection is allowed only from localhost.

After finishing the wizard you can enable access by typing ln -s
/etc/httpd/conf.d/owncloud-access.conf.avail
/etc/httpd/conf.d/z-owncloud-access.conf

You find that information in the file owncloud.conf under /etc/httpd/conf.d/

Cheers

Juergen

Re: [CentOS] Apache (httpd) fails to start at boot - Centos 8.1

2020-06-19 Thread Anthony K

The new way to do this is exactly what Gordon suggested - using 
`systemctl edit ` creates an override in 
`/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/override.conf`.


The only issue is that there is no `systemctl` related command to 
remove this override - you will have to remember to `rm -rf 
/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d` if/when you want to remove that 
override.


Let me educate myself - `systemctl revert ` is the correct 
way to remove an override.

The SquirrelMail project has been dead for years now. Don't use it.

Suggestion : Roundcube.
