Here's what happens: [root at 13gems www]# mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) [root at 13gems www]# mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to

Hi; I installed mysql using yum, so I have an /etc/init.d/mysqld file. For some reason, however, mysqld doesn't boot on reboot of the machine. Please advise.

Hi; I've learned how to add a user and change the root dir of vsftpd (which of course is undocumented).

Hi; Since I decided to "yum remove openssl", genius that I am (not!), I managed to screw up the OS so badly the server co. had to rebuild it for me <:-) These good people backed everything up very well, so the damage was minimal. Now I'm trying to rebuild MySQL. I did the "yum install mysql" no problem. However... [root at 13gems old]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start -bash:

Hi; I went to install some s/w and it looked like there was a problem with openssl. So I decided to uninstall it (yum remove) and reinstall it. When I went to reinstall, I discovered I couldn't use yum. Then I discovered: [root at 13gems qmail-1.03]# yum install openssl -bash: /usr/bin/yum: No such file or directory [root at 13gems qmail-1.03]# man yum Floating point exception [root at 13gems

Hi; I installed yum install mod_python and all went well. So I thought it would be appropriate to reboot apache apachectl -k restart and it appeared well but the pages don't load (they hang).

I have a serious privileges problem that is making it impossible to serve python pages on a CentOS server. I have tried to resolve this problem in my last post, but now it appears that interest has petered out. I'm desperate and hoping someone on this list can help.

Hello to all! I apologize in advance, for the following could be too simple, but I can't figure it out. I configured a vps using centos 8, all is working fine but I'm not able to send email from this server. I tried $ telnet smtp.mailtrap.io 25 but it doesn't work yet $ telnet www.google.ca 80 does work and particularly $ telnet smtp.mailtrap.io 2525 does work too. I temporarily

Hey folks, I'm trying to use a 5.3 box to run some JNLP apps, but all I get is a view of XML. I try doing some googling and don't come up with much other than this one thread that says I may need both 32 and 64 bit Java to run JNLP. But it is not clear to me how to do that. thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV? ? ? ? ?? - Michael Pollan,

Hi folks, I''m having an issue with rsync between my firewall and an internal box. It seems to be a shorewall issue (or correctly speaking, an issue with my shorewall config) because if I disable shorewall my rsync works fine. And I just can''t find it documented anywhere what I need to do. I have rules like this : root@userver:/etc/shorewall# grep -i Rsync rules

Hi; Been a while since I had root access to a server and without GUI.

Is it that I need to inform Apache that *.py files are to be interpreted by python? Please advise, and if easy, tell me what to do. TIA, Victro -------------- next part -------------- An HTML
