similar to: CentOSPlus: What happened to Postgresql?

I've been using RPMs for PG 8.1 from CentosPlus for some time now. I've been very happy with them, and they've been wonderfully stable. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/x86_64/RPMS/ But now 8.2 is out. Are there any plans to support PG 8.2 in CentosPlus, or should I go ahead with RPMS directly from PG?

I have a Windows Server 2003 system I'm trying to back up to a Linux host. when I access the share with smbclient, I can "see" the files (`ls` returns a list of files, etc) smbclient -U shareuser //server/sharename password But, when I try to actually mount the drive, I get "permission denied" errors trying to access the drive. (EG: using `df`) Running the following

Does anyone here on this list have experience with HA clustering? I'm previewing drbd as a potential tool, and wanted to know if anyone here has experiemented with it at all... How stable is it? Does the additional likelyhood of failure given the additional complexity actually get compensated by a better overall system? http://www.drbd.org/ Any feedback is welcome... -Ben --

Here's the problem: [ben at kepler tmp]# file -i presentation.ppt presentation.ppt: application/msword I see lots of references to this problem, (EG: IMP, PHP bug, etc) all of which conclude, in various forms, "the problem is in your /usr/share/magic.mime, go away". But nowhere (that I've been able to find) is there actually a solution - and even the magic.mime file from

All that's seen on the screen is the four letters ''GRUB". I'm assuming that grub needs to be reloaded into HDD master boot record. (?!) What's the easiest way to do this? System is a Dual Opteron/64, DUAL SCSI 10K drives, configured with software RAID1. -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978 --

Well, I'm a recent convert from WBEL. My biggest concern with CentOS is that the community here seems to want to be more than a recompile of RHEL. But WBEL is floundering, what with Katrina and Rita, and there really being only 1 developer behind it, etc. I offer an automated shell script to switch from WBEL4 to CentOS4 (easy, it's hosted on my home DSL line!) It assumes that

Has anybody here taken a HDD configured with an Opteron system, and then put it into an Athlon/64 and had it work? Are they interchangeable, like an Athlon/32 and a P3/P4? -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978

Currently, we have two mail relays for inbound messages, and a third for POP. The inbound messages go thru all the CPU-intensive anti-spam stuff, and then they relay it to the POP server for pickup. Currently, one of these is the "primary", and the other is "secondary", and I'd like them to be considered more or less as equals, since the "primary" system is

Here's what I get: [root at socrates root]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3 - Addons Server: CentOS-3 - Base Server: CentOS-3 - Extras Server: CentOS-3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies .IOError - # 2 - No such file or directory I've tried yum clean and yum clean all, rpm --rebuilddb.

Ok, I'm finally of a mindset to replace my now tired, aging Dell Inspiron 600m. I'm currently running Fedora Core on it, and am fairly happy with the software. Has anybody used CentOS on a Macbook Pro? What gotchas are there? (The first that comes to mind is the lack of a right mousebutton) Scouting on the Internet, I've seen that some people have trouble getting sound to work.

I'm building a database/application server with a Dual-Opteron 64 bit system. I need to run PHP4, Apache, and Postgres 8.1, but I'm having conflicts with Postgres 8.1 and PHP 4 that comes with CentOS. History: 1) I installed Apache and PHP with yum. 2) I then installed PostgreSQL 8.1 RPMs from the PG website. 3) Then, I tried to install php-pgsql with yum - and it didn't work,

I'm having a heck of a time getting vsftpd to work properly. When Iptables are OFF, it works fine, and when iptables is on, it dies. When I try ftp from a command line, here's what the session looks looks like: [root at mylaptop ~]# ftp ftp.server.com Connected to ftp.server.com. 220 Welcome to My Company FTP 530 Please login with USER and PASS. 530 Please login with USER and PASS.

Recent convert from WhiteBox, a few questions What is the difference between CentOS 4.2 and "4"? Is this like the Whitebox "respin"? Are updates/packages for 4.2 applicable across all the "4" series of releases? -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978

I've tried to wrap my head around SELinux several times, and so far, all I've managed to do is rap my head, and then somewhat painfully. Is there a detailed "SELinux Unleashed" style book anybody can recommend? Anybody read Oreilly's book care to comment? Link:

A while ago, I wrote a script to switch a server from WBEL 4.x to CentOS 4.x. The recent switch to 4.2 broke this script. Now there are all kinds of dependencies like python-urlgrabber, and tshe task of getting these sorted out just drop me into dependency hell. (and this is just trying to get yum installed!) Suggestions? -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent

Hello, We're migrating a webserver from RedHat 7.x to CentOS 4.2. In the process, we'd like to improve security. We're currently planning on making sure SELinux is enabled, mounting the /tmp partition noexec, and running PHP in safe mode, hide_errors on, register_globals off by default. vsftpd is set to chroot logins. I've seen Apache run inside a chroot jail, but that

Whoever is building this RPM needs to check his/her build logs. The pkgIndex.tcl in /usr/lib/Pgtcl is not being built properly! The pkg_mkIndex procedure does not always throw an obvious error -- sometimes it just does not create the 'package ifneeded ...' line(s), and just quietly skips a package. Something is broken in the build process. Both the version above (which I just

About 9 months ago, I made a policy decision to adopt RAID 1 on all systems I admin. (about 20 systems, all told) It's been a long, slow process. One of the systems is being upgraded from CentOS3 to CentOS4. It's been rock-solid stable for over a year. It's a "frankenserver" with parts from all over the place, maintained over years of active service. Currently,
