similar to: Yum problem CentOS 3.3?

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

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:

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 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'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

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

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

Hi all, I have four servers (one with redhat 7.3, two with CentOS 3.4 and one with CentOS 4 for testing). I would like to do a partial package mirror with os, updates, contrib branches and so on. Anybody knows if exists any tool for redhat based distros, like apt-proxy in debian world ( that donwloads packages on demmand), that supports this feature?? I see yam tool from dag repository, but it

As a matter of policy and because I'm at the end of a DS/1 that needs to feed my customers needs, I've set up a local subset mirror of Centos 3.3. It's a subset because I don't copy any of the x86_64 directories ( no machines that use them ) but it's also a superset because I've added an additional "local" directory structure that contains things that I need -

I am trying to use yam to create a repo based on the 4.4 CDs. I have copied the contents of the CDs to /var/dist/CentOS-4.4-i386. No matter what I try, yam always creates an emtpy repo.

I have already 6 Centos machines here and it is getting strange having to pull down updates to each system. Seems like I should set up one system to pull updates and then all other systems to point to it. How? Plus then I would want to add to this repository. Say that a number of my systems use tomcat which is only available via rpm. I would like to be able to add it to my repository, and

When, after starting the install, you get a list of places for the distribution, listing things like: CDrom, NFS, FTP, HTTP, Local hard drive What is expected on the HTTP url? The ISO images? Help please, as the system I am installing on, boots off of CDrom, but then the CDrom seems to be so old (Toshiba NW24XCD), that there is no Linux driver for it in the base install. And I cannot
