Pardon my ignorance, but if I update or install a package via rpm will YUM pick that up in subsequent updates? Or should I be using YUM for installs if I plan to use it for updates? -- <<JAV>>

Okay, I'm curious. I just installed CentOS 3.3 and did an update with YUM. I want to run Apache so I first checked to see if it's installed with rpm -q apache. Nada. Yet, in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d I see K15httpd. So I moved that to S15httpd and started it up. It's up. Goto the default page and it's running. So....if it's not showing up in rpm queries, how is/was it installed? --

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any familiarity with this server? It uses the Super X6DH8-G2 motherboard. Currently, we've added an Adaptec 2120S Ultra320 RAID PCI Controller Card to get RAID 5 capability. The installation bombs and from what I can tell it looks like we're getting SCSI resets or the controller is going offline maybe. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

We are running backup softwares for incrementals/differentials and full backups with variouse softwares currently using dirvish scripts + amanda .. what is everyones views on other opensourced backup software? is there anything better or other options we have missed?

Is anyone using Webmin with CentOS? I've always found it works very well with RHat Linux. I've not used RHEL so I'm not sure. I know on my SuSE server it doesn't seem to work well and suspect there are some location problems. -- <<JAV>>

I'm having a hard time getting PHPBB installed on Centos. We get the error that The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that you chose. We choose MySQL 3.x but get that error. Perhaps PHP4 isn't compatible with MySQL 3.23.58-1? -- <<JAV>>

Are there any caveats to yum upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2? And can someone tell me if perl-5.8.6 is in 4.2? <<JAV>>

I am a long time FreeBSD user and have been using dump/restore for many years for disk to disk backups. Now I am getting more and more into FC4 and CentOS, but am I stuck on only using tar/star for backups? Tar in its various forms are fine for some items, like home directories, but dump and restore in FreeBSD also gave me the possibility of easily doing a bare metal restore. What are my

Hello guys, hope i am not making an offtopic Currently we are looking for storage/backup solution in our company. Basically we need to backup data incrementaly from windows server and centos server + subversion repositories. So far i believe amanda would be best for this situation and also has good reference. Is there anything else - i would be glad to have space for research and choose

We are migrating an LTO2 library off Veritas and NTBackup on a Windows Server to a Linux Server with either Bacula or Amanda. Originally, the Windows server used scripts to sync changes from various other Windows servers using Robocopy to a locally attached set of volumes, then ran the backup nightly (Full's were always done). I now had hoped to rsync the Samba shares to a local replica on

I get this error when I update with Yum. It seems to be with CUPs. I also got this installing MySQL-Server. Should I point to another repo? Or even worry? :) -- <<JAV>>

Hello! I'm running clamav-milter, clamd, and sendmail on CentOS 3.3 (RHEL3). I'm trying to verify that my milter works. I've sent test emails from testvirus.org but they don't appear to be getting flagged. I don't see anything in the logs to indicate they were. Is there a sure-fire way to know? Also, how should the clamd work? Does it watch the filesystem? Or will it only work

I need to recommend some backup options for a web server running CentOS 4.1. The client prefers using a tape drive as their backup device and has access to safe offsite storage. I was thinking of system backups weekly and differential backups nightly but don't know what software to recommend for the differential b/u's. For full backups I can just schedule a tar and compress using

Can anyone suggest a good open source/free backup software that works on CentOS? I was reading through the manuals on how to back things up and it said do 1 of 2 things. Buy a 3rd party software packages or make one from source. Well I have no clue how to do the 2nd option and I don't want to spend any money so I figured I would as you gurus. BTW I am newb so easier the software the better.

Hi, I was wondering if there have been any conversations with backup vendors like Veritas or EMC regarding better integration with ZFS. While I understand they can use the "native" mode of reading files from the filesystem, it would be great if there were agents that had options like making a snapshot and storing a "zfs backup" datastream that could be used for zfs restore.

Hi all, My only encounter with tape-backup was with Windows 2000. With it, when we backup things using windows' backup tool, it will create a 'catalog', then the catalog contains all the backup operations we do based on date. So, with this we can "append" many backups into one tape. Next time we want to restore a backup, we can choose what date available in that

I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers. Here's are some specs to consider: - 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data - multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server (preferably a linux system) - using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system) - need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full backup
