similar to: RHEL 4 Update

I work for a small company, and we're running CentOS on our servers. We are looking to possibly move our most critical servers to RHEL. We currently use apt to deploy software upgrades to our servers. I have a question about RHEL subscriptions that they don't seem to be able to answer for me. If you have an RHEL subscription, do you have access to manually download the RPMs? We

Hi all, we have installed a fresh CentOS 3.3 system, imported the keys: rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY* trying to install a package fails: up2date -i mysql mysql-3.23.58-1.i386.rpm: ########################## Done.

All, There are 3 bugfix updates for CentOS-4 (RC1). 1. mod_perl needed to be recompiled after the RH errata for perl was incorporated, but it was not flagged by the perl update. ( https://bugzilla.caosity.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803 ) (thanks Joshua Hirsh) 2. httpd identified itself as Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server instead of CentOS ( https://bugzilla.caosity.org/show_bug.cgi?id=806 ) (thanks

I don't understand it. It was working fine a month ago. Now it just does not work. Is any one having problems with Up2date? Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 50x more storage than other providers! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

Sorry to be beating a dead horse to death here... but... in the archives, mostly the FAQ is mentioned, but the FAQ seems to be 'coming soon'. :) I just did a clean install of 3.3. I am operating from the command line. I first mistakenly ran.. been there done that on WhiteBox as well. :( rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY Got what I understand now is the expected errors. I then

Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other

I just ran up2date on new Centos-3.1 installation and received about 5 of these errors. Is this something to be concerned about? The package kernel-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL is signed with an unknown GPG signature. Continue The package kernel-utils-2.4-8.37.3 is signed with an unknown GPG signature. Continue? The package GConf2-2.2.1-4 is signed with an unknown GPG signature. Continue? It is using the

i updated to the latest up2date rpm.... then when updating to the latest kernel this is what happened after i ran up2date -fu for the kernel/kernel-source updates Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...

Hi all, i have a problem with centos's up2date tool. I have setup a central update server with yam (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/) under CentOS-4. When yam calls t up2date to download updates, up2date returns this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yam", line 1099, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/yam", line 983, in main

Greetings - I have a rhel 3 server that I want to migrate to centos. The FAQ: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19 pretty much tells me what I need to do but what is going to happen when I run yum update? Will it replace every RPM on my system with its centos counterpart or will it only upgrade RPMS as new versions are released? This is a production system and I'm

I am continually getting the subscription alert panel popping up??? I leave the selection on the default which is to activate and say OK. It asks me for the root password - I enter it. It keeps coming back... I have network connectivity for the laptop. Any ideas? I saw nothing in /var/log/messages.

CentOS uses the yum dependency solver for doing updates and not the RHN (normal) up2date mechanism. That is functionality built into up2date. Due to this difference, there is a problem with the Seamonkey upgrade to replace Mozilla using up2date on CentOS-4, because it does not see Seamonkey as obsoleting Mozilla. (This is a problem with the yum depsolver that is included in up2date). Due to

CentOS3.9 Users: After applying all Updates to Upgrade from CentOS 3.8 CentOS 3.9 I find up2date no longer works "correctly" (or shall I say NOT as before)... Missing is the "sources" File!!! Is this how V 4.5.5-7 is supposed to be or is the "sources" File omission an "error"??? Lawrence Houston -- (centos at greenfield.dyndns.org)

Hi all. I have a simple question: CentOS relies mostly on "yum" to keep systems up to date, although I understand that like on RHEL, "up2date" is also available. On my system I've run both KDE and GNOME as Graphical Desktops under X (though I presently run GNOME), and I've noticed that there is an applet called "CentOS Network Alert Icon" (from the

Am having difficulty in getting the fileserver part of puppet 0.18.4 on centos 4 working fully in respect to %h / %H. In file server.conf I have the following defined [private] path /var/lib/puppet/files/%h allow * In ''/var/lib/puppet/files/davinci/'' the source file up2date.sources.centos(davinci being hostname). And in manifiest have file {

For guests registered with Red Hat Network, this patch allows for the conversion process to use RHN to download appropriate kernel package and its dependencies. We use yum on RHEL-5, up2date libraries on RHEL-4. We install matching kernel version whenever possible, latest available kernel version otherwise. _discover_kernel routine has been extended to return version-release of the default
