I have bind running on two servers. Both servers are running bind-9.2.4-7. When I update a zone file on the primary and reload bind, the secondary receives a notify, but does not initiate an AXFR. The only way I can get the secondary to update is to delete the zone file on the secondary and restart named. Any ideas what might be wrong? Mike

I am about to lease another server to be a backup web/mail server with a replicated mysql database. The current live server is a dual Xeon 2.8Ghz. Would I do better to get another Xeon server or an Opteron based server? My concerns are compatibility of the database and the SSL certificate currently running on the Xeon machine. Are these concerns unfounded? TIA Mike

Does anyone know how to setup wildcard DNS using bind? I am working on a small network that will be mobile and not connected to the internet. What I'd like to happen is no matter what URL a user might type in, their browser always goes to the same website located on the same mobile LAN. Mike

I just installed a fresh 3.3 system (because those are the ISO's I had on hand). Upon running yum update, it starts to download headers and then stalls. I hit Ctl-C and it continues to download about 4-5 more headers and stalls. I hit Ctl-C again and it pulls a few more headers. Anyone seen this and/or know how to fix it? TIA Mike

Can someone help me configure a Cisco 2600 offlist please? I have too little experience with these things. Thanks! Mike

I need to upgrade gd from 1.8 to 2.x, but can't find any rpm's to do so. If I try to rebuild a .src.rpm, I get into a dependency hell. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this upgrade without getting into a source install? Mike

I just upgraded one of my boxes to CentOS 3.5 and for some reason, httpd won't start now. It acts like it's going to, but the process just dies. I can't find anything in my logs that would indicate a problem: >From /var/log/messages Jun 10 00:16:53 austin httpd: httpd shutdown failed Jun 10 00:16:54 austin httpd: httpd startup succeeded >From /var/log/httpd/error_log [Fri

I have a clean install of CentOS 4 running on a box which will be an image generator. One of the requirements is t1lib support compiled into PHP. I don't want to go away from a fully RPM based system, so I don't want to compile PHP from source. Does anyone have an RPM with t1lib compiled in or is there a way to build my own RPM with the t1lib support compiled in? TIA! Mike

I noticed on the CentOS mirrors, there is a CentOS Server ISO. What is this? Mike

Hello, I know this is off-topic for this list but I know someone here may be able to help me out of a jam. I ran the following against a table: ALTER TABLE `products` ADD INDEX `idx_products_model` ( `products_model` ); Some things now appear broken but don't know if this was the culprit or not. If I can revert it back it its original state I may be able to determine if it's the cause

An intermittent need to connect to a CentOS4 development box from a MS-Win2K workstation using X-Windows has developed here. However, I cannot seem to find a cheap (read free) X-windows client for MS- Windows to accommodate this. This seems very odd to me, displaying no doubt my profound ignorance of the issues involved. The few shareware versions that I have located expect registration

Greetings, Can anyone relate experience(s) installing CentOS on Compaq rack mount servers units please? Easy no problem, easy some issues, or ghastly do not do it under any circumstances... ;) Basically, I'm looking at some used/refurb dual PIII units and will run RAID on Compaq built in SCSI or is it easy to pop in some 3ware SATA in them? Let me know in terms of CentOS 3 and/or 4 please.
