similar to: install won't boot

I've got a server running CentOS 4.2; installed as 4.1, kept updated by yum. A few days ago it crashed. I picked it up from the datacenter, and brought it back to the office, where it took a long time to boot because it couldn't find anything. When it finally booted and I logged in I discovered an interesting problem. Only the / partition had loaded. /etc/fstab had all the

New install of CentOS 4.1; our first try at the 4.x. On previous 3.x installs we've used proftpd. On this one we're using (trying to use is a better statement of what we're going through) the default daemon, /usr/sbin/vsftpd. But we don't get anywhere. <snip> ftp> passiv Passive mode off. ftp> put ~/xorg.conf.work local: /home/jlasman/xorg.conf.work remote:

I have a site running the current version of Centos 4.2, it has a shopping cart running on it and runs slow and times out at random. The cart is a simple php package using a MySQL database backend. Can any one think of ways to improve the speed in MySQL and Apache, I've had the cart checked by the software vendor, it's working like it should, they are pointing to MySQL or Apache and

I just installed CentOS4 on my main server. It runs proftpd and is not NATted.. When I did the install I said to allow FTP and HTTP. I can ftp from windows dos ftp client. In IE I get "Unable to build data connection: No route to host" ncftp I get.. Data connection timed out. Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode. List failed. Wget and FireFox just time out.

We're going to replace an older Solaris7/Netbackup/TapeRobot server with a new Centos box using backup-to-disk-to-tape (probably using Arkeia). The specs are up in the air, but generally: - CentOS/RHEL friendly (3Ware SATA? SCSI?) - 2U/3U/4U-ish form factor - hotswap RAID5 - dual PS, hotswap a plus - USB2.0 port(s) (*) To give you an idea of where I'm starting to look, take a gander at

I''m still using CentOS 3.3 as our install mechanism, then adding some packages from a tarball of RPMs we need. Then I run # yum update yum which sometimes takes a while. Yesterday it took many hours. I like to run these from behind a firewall in our office before taking the server to the datacenter, but the delay meant a whole day''s delay in our trip to the datacenter

I have a server running CentOS 4.2 that works as a web/email with very heavy load. It runs Directadmin web gui which is like Cpanel. It runs on a cheapy mATX motherboard(ECS 741GX-M) with socket A 2800+ CPU and 2Gbyte DDR. The OS and data are on a 300Gbyte PATA maxtor drive and data backups are run weekly to another PATA drive. The server is overwelmed and data backups take over 5 hours to

We've got several CentOS 3.x systems running DNS that we keep updated automatically via YUM. Recently two of those systems (not all of them) when updating themselves to the latest versions of BIND, automatically replaced /etc/named.conf with a new one and saved the old one as /etc/named.conf.rpmsave. Which of course broke DNS for those servers. All servers got updated, but only two of

Hah!!! This list is just too calm and mundane. The only thing we argue about is the ''announce'' list vs. the ''user'' list. ;) So, it''s springtime! I''m seeing all the regularly scheduled ''oil'' threads on my motorcycle lists and thought "oh what the heck, lets get the ''oil'' thread going over on the CentOS

I'm a home user of CentOS (a desktop and a laptop) because I like the quality of the product and I love the cost. I'm a great believer in FOSS. That being said, I know that some of you use CentOS for production servers and (perhaps?) desktops as well. I've read at leat one comment like "I have 20 CentOS servers." My employer is a firm believer in RHEL - license costs are

Hi, This is semi-OT, but is Centos-related. I'm looking for an IPTables GUI to help us with our expanding network configuration. I know there's plenty out there, but most of them seem to manage the firewall on the computer on which they run, or only handle one firewall at a time. I need one that can easily manage multiple firewalls from some sort of central location/repository, i.e.

We have a 10Gbps connection to our server so I need to be able to create VMs using the faster e1000 nics instead of the default Realtek 100Mbps ones but I''m not sure how to go about it.

I recently moved a web site from an old Windows NT machine running Apache to a server running CentOS 4.1. Everything is working fine on the site except for one perl script. I have the standard directory setup: /var/www/html /var/www/cgi-bin etc We had to change our scripts when we moved them because they had windows paths. We have a problem with one script called: contactp.pl It's located

Hi, I am using SME server 6.0 which has samba preconfigured on it. We upgraded from MS Windows 2000 server. I am using the server in China and so many of the users wish to create files with Chinese characters in their names. File names with Chinese characters seem to cause all sorts of problems. They have trouble creating them, and files which are copied off backup (from the W2K system)

Hi everyone, I'm using lmer and estimable (from packages lme4 and gmodels respectively) and have the disconcerting happening that when I run exactly the same code, I get different results!
