Circumstances: The system is a hardware duplicate of a system that installed and works for many months. Running CentOS 4.x. The system was previously in service with CentOS 3.x and I'm trying to install CentOS 4.1 on it from downloaded CDs which have worked previously (these are the same CDs used to install the system that's working). Software RAID. Minimal packages System

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'm trying to run "yum update" on "CentOS release 3.4 (final)": But I'm getting an error: <snip> Package mod_ssl needs httpd = 2.0.46-44.ent.centos.2, this is not available. </snip> However: </snip> [root at dev1 root]# rpm -qa | grep httpd httpd-devel-2.0.46-44.ent.centos.2 httpd-2.0.46-44.ent.centos.2 </snip> It's installed.

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. Anything I need

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

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

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

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, 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, I have a data frame consisting of coordinates on a 10*10 grid, i.e. > example x y 1 4 5 2 6 7 3 6 6 4 7 5 5 5 7 6 6 7 7 4 5 8 6 7 9 7 6 10 5 6 What I would like to do is return an 10*10 matrix consisting of counts at each position, so in the above example I would have a matrix where, for example, cell [4,5] contains 2 and [6,7] contains 3. At the

I'm trying to get into the world of Asterisk in order to use the voicemail and autoattendat features (and more stuff later) with a Redcom switch. But, I've only started and haven't gotten to that yet. At this point my solitary goal is to talk to the autoattendant via an SIP phone (SJPhone). I've spent countless hours trying to find the documentation I need to accomplish my goals

One computer will show the previous versions of files just fine, but every other computer I've installed the Microsoft Shadow Copy Client on will not show any previous versions. The Previous Versions tab is just blank. In the samba log, I get this: [2006/11/28 12:02:02, 0] modules/vfs_shadow_copy.c:shadow_copy_opendir(81) shadow_copy_opendir: SMB_VFS_NEXT_OPENDIR() failed for

Hi, Two questions, only slightly related to SAMBA : 1) when I have logged into my Samba server (rh9) from a W2K or XP client, how can I log out again so that I can log in as someone else. I know logging out of W2K/XP will work, but I would like to log out of the SAMBA server w/o logging out of W2K/XP. My Mac OS X client has an 'eject' button which I can use - something similar to

Dear list, I would like to generate random numbers from a Voigt distribution, hopefully in a way as simple as getting random numbers from a normal distribution with 'rnorm'. Is there any package to do this? Speed is an issue in this application. Or, as the Voigt distribution is a convolution of a Gaussian and a Lorentzian, can I simply combine random numbers from rnorm and rcauchy in some

Hello everyone, Sorry if my question is not clear, my first language is not English, but Portuguese. I am building a model for my data, using non-binomial error. I am having a bit of a problem when updating the model to remove parameters that I no do no autocorrelate with other variables (I have used a autocorrelation function for this). So my first model looks like this:

I've spent the past several weeks reading up and playing around with Asterisk while I've been waiting for an ISDN card I got on ebay to arrive so I can really get to business. I'd just like to run my project ideaa by some of you to hopefully get a little feedback. I aplogize if this ends up being a somewhat long message. In the Marine Corps we've somewhat recently started using
