In an effort to prevent getting many minutes into an installation only to have a CD read fail (I did verify the CD's first), I did a minimal install. Can I use the minimal install to add the necessay packages for a HTTP server and graphical interface? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Hi All, Short description of the problem: - I would like to install the complete 'xfce' desktop on CentOS5.x I've tried: yum groupinstall xfce yum groupinstall xfce4 yum groupinstall xfce* yum groupinstall xfce4* yum groupinstall xfce4.2 yum groupinstall xfce4.1 yum groupinstall xfce4.3 yum groupinstall xfce4.4 yum groupinstall xfce4.4.2 .... etc etc ... nothing worked then I've

I have installed the minimum and used yum and groupinstall to install "System Tools" "Web Server" yet the GUI Server Settings does not contain the Web server or Samba (Samba was installed with "yum install samba"); it just contains Services. Have I missed something here? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

I have RH 8 running on a Abit BE7-RAID motherboard. My task is installing Centos 4.1 with limited knowledge on installing with hardware RAID. The arrays are still in place for the two pairs of drives. HighPoint only shows drivers up through RH 9. Is there anyone who can take me through the steps? Remove the existing arrays? Will the drivers work with Centos 4.1? Since I used Windows to

Folks I have encountered a situation with YUM that isn't what I expected. Let's suppose I want to install a group, call it G. My first question would be -- is the group already installed. Realize all of this is scripted. So, I use yum groupinfo and I see the list of installed groups, and those not yet installed. If group G is in the list of installed groups, one would think that

1. There are updates to CentOS-4Beta for the i386 and x86_64 arches. The following RPMS have been changed: a. createrepo-0.4.2-1.noarch.rpm - This is an update from the upstream maintainer. b. yum-2.1.13-1.c4.noarch.rpm - This is an update from the upstream maintainer. c. firefox-1.0-6.centos4.3.i386.rpm - The original build did not strip the library files of unnecessary symbols, causing

Hi All, Cent OS 5.3. I need to install the gcc toolchain, but what yum packages is this? I need to compile ProFTPD, etc, etc. I tried yum install gcc, what else? -Jason

I am trying to learn some of the in's and out's of yum, and thanks to the help of many on this forum, things are beginning to make more sense (though I still have a lot more to learn). My initial Centos install was the "minimum". From there I used yum grouplist and yum installgroup. However, one of the members helped me with using yum to install php-mysql and I just found

Hi all, If I try yum grouplist "FTP Server" I get the next large output: Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: OpenIPMI x86_64

I need to run Apache on a port other than 80, 81 or 8080. My other servers are using 80 and 81 (RH 9: 80; Windows Apache: 81). If I set the port in httpd.conf to anything other than 80, I get an error that a socket cannot be created for the port. No doubt it has something to do with security (did not have that problem with Win Apache, but Windows is Windows). Any suggestions on where I

I could not get vsftpd to start; kept getting the "vsftpd Dead Subsys Locked" error. On doing a Google search, I came across a fix (lost the site unfortunately) and as I recall, it has something to do with copying a file and having the incorrect SElinux settings (I have SElinux disabled). The fix was to do a fixfiles, relabel (commands that I have never used) or a touch of

I need a DNS server in a test environment, so I am adding Bind to my notebook build. I first did: yum install bind rebooted yum update rebooted Now I see named as a service I can start. But when I go to /var/named to edit the files (btw, all I want to do at this point is to fake out a FQDN expected by a piece of gear), none exist. And I doubt that if I start named it would be properly

My desktop environment has become a little chaotic, and, long story short, I would like to uninstall KDE and Gnome, and then reinstall Gnome. (I want to remove KDE for the time being because I just don't think I want it taking up space on my hard drive). The thing is, I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. For instance, I want to make sure I don't lose settings in

The main difficulty in enabling that is making sure that puppet doesn''t run ''yum groupinstall'' (or ''yum groupupdate'') on every run. To avoid that,

Hi all, I have a question related to yum groupinstall. I just tried a: yum groupinstall "MySQL Database" I expected that I would end up with a MySQL Database server, but it installed a bunch of .rpms *except* mysql-server. No big deal, I'm just curious if it was intended this way or not, that's all. Thank you and, Have a nice evening everyone, Alex

Gentlemen, I have a question regarding yum groupinstall vs just using yum install. I have been reading tutorials online (for example how to run a Centos LAMP). Most of the tutorials have examples to install httpd, mysql, etc using yum install httpd.... The reason for this e-mail is that I noticed in yum grouplist that there is an option to install Web Server, MySQL database server, etc.

Is there an 'after the fact' way to find what yum groups are installed, including ones that were added with 'yum groupinstall' instead of the initial anaconda install? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
