I remember a thread many months ago where someone asked about a disaster recovery template or guide and several people on this list linked some really good content. I can't seem to find that thread now and neglected to make note of the links but I do recall that some of the guides came from a site that had many other "industry best practices" type guides. Any insight here or do you

Not specific to CentOS but I know you guys would be really helpful anyhow. Basically, I have a file which has been editted in the past very similarly to the hosts file only now I want to use it as a hosts file and need to run some fancy sed to massage the data into shape. Currently, the data in the file is in the form of <ip address> <tab> <short hostname> <space>

I'm looking to acquire a few new core switches for our network which would be a major upgrade from the cheap unmanaged things we currently have. Basically, just users, servers, and other simple network devices will be plugged into them but I'd like to start doing some testing with iSCSI for various non-production reasons. I have no allegiance to a particular vendor although I do have a

I need to enable pg support on one of my CentOS servers. I know nothing about PHP but DRUPAL requires a DB backend and we have standardized on pg rather than mysql. The PHP.net page devoted to the subject of pg says that to enable pg support PHP must be built with the flag "--with-pgsql[=DIR]" and that the required support extension must be loaded via the /etc/php.ini file with the

I'll be setting up a vSphere 4 environment hosting CentOS 5.4 on Netapp FAS and was curious how you guys are handling the automation of partition alignment within your linux guests. I'd like to use cobbler for dynamically creating kickstart scripts and wasn't sure if I could align my disk during install some how. Are there kickstart arguments to force the alignment on a 4k boundary?

Not a CentOS specific question, although I am running grep on CentOS 4.3 but how would you grep out a series of lines in a file starting at a specific point. For instance, if I have a file named foo and I want to grep out the next 5 lines after the first and only instance of the string "bar" how could I pull that off? Thanks so much.

The Drupal project announced several security vulnerabilities for the 4.7.x and 5.x releases of the Drupal package. These effect two current ports: www/drupal4 and www/drupal5. The following are the security advisories that were posted: 4.7.x: * DRUPAL-SA-2007-024: http://drupal.org/node/184315 * DRUPAL-SA-2007-026: http://drupal.org/node/184320 * DRUPAL-SA-2007-030:

We have two virtual machines on ESX 3 running CentOS 4.3 and we'd like to turn them into some sort of highly available nfs file server. Currently, I am familiar with DRBD and RHCS but I was curious what others might recommend in such a situation. I'm not sure how easily we could use RHCS in such a situation because we don't really have the advantage of shared storage in this setup.

Hi! i compiled rpms like postfix with mysql support. My problem is when i compile programs i can't distinguish the difference between postfix w/o mysql and postfix w/ mysql because they have the same filename(postfix-2.x.x.i386.rpm), what i like to happen is when i compile postfix w/ mysql support it will show something like postfix-mysql-2.x.x.i386.rpm. so when i install and try to query it,

Does anyone have experience of drupal installation under CentoOS-5.3 with MySQL database preferably accessed through phpMyAdmin. I want to install drupal more or less as an experiment, and I'm looking for a 1- or 2-page document that just lists precisely what steps to take. I've had a quick look at the official installation instructions, and I found them confusing and contradictory. --

Hi I'm trying to get Dovecot to use Drupal users password for authenticating IMAP users. But I just cant figure out how to make Dovecot understand the password hash type that Drupal 7 is using. My example user with password Teacher1 looks like this in Drupal database: $S$DZwJa.U8HXT2PvTmwCK13rGEYEvnx5DB6/hlqnfCBum4s4U7MVWU Dovecot retrieves this hash but complains that its not a recognized

Hello all, Maybe the $subj is a little bit weird (i.e. apples vs oranges) but it is a situation i am facing at the moment: We are developing a small web site which will be mostly a CMS (more or less) and my colleagues is arguing for drupal, and i am for RoR. Maybe i can formulate the question in a different way: when to use a CMS (not necessarily drupal but e.g. Radiant CMS) and when to use Ruby

Hi folks, Last night and this morning i''ve hacked up a quick web site for coordinating our development work based on Drupal (http://drupal.org). You can find it at: http://shorewall.dyndns.org I''ve put a few ideas in there - feel free to use the comments or sign up for an account and create your own pages (particularly in the two books about development and web site work).

Just installed CentOS 5.1 on VMware ESX and am attempting to play with the newly added tick_divider feature. It doesn't seem to be making any difference in the number of timer interrupts though. I set tick_divider=10 which should reduce the number of timer interrupts to 100. I wrote a nasty little scripts that queries /proc/interrupts every 1 second and still see an increase each second in

We are in need of a remote mirror that provides rsync capabilities for vaulted centos releases. Specifically centos 4.3 but we'll need 4.4 when it is vaulted too. Any helpful links to information on this or a reputable mirror would be fantastic. Thanks.

Hello, we are running CentOS 4.3 and the latest cluster suite packages from the csgfs yum repository for this release and need to delete a cluster member. According to the documentation we need to restart all cluster related services on all remaining nodes in the cluster after the node has been removed. This is a four node cluster so removing one node obviously degrades the cluster to three

In centos 4 we used tail in the following way: tail +83 file That would tail the contents of the file starting at line 83. In centos 5 that same command complains about the file +83 not being found. It appears that the + option in tail doesn't work the same way in centos 5. Is there another easy way to grab the contents of a file starting at a certain line number and beyond.
