I want to move from running puppet under it's own web brick server, to using passenger. I'd like to get an idea of how folk are running passenger? Ideally I'd like to keep everything rpm based, so would need ruby enterprise rpms, and then the mod_rails / passenger plugin? How are you folk doing it? I've seen:

Hello, I really didn''t expect this to be difficult, but I''ve been struggling with this all day :( I''m running CentOS 5.3, with rubygems, rack and fastthread, from EPEL. I''m running puppet-0.25.0-1 built from the spec file in the latest stable tarball. I''m using mod_passenger-2.2.5-2.el5 from Jeroen van Meeuwen (kanarip), which is effectively EPEL

Hello, A moron has checked in a DVD iso into subversion. How can I undo the damage, and make the repo a sensible size again? Also, is there a cunning way to get subversion to say: "Oi! Moron! This file is huge, you can't check it in!" ? S.

Hey I want to start the next Newsletter early so it can be a little more relaxed. The next release will be the 1. April. I really need someone to *interview*, just drop me a mail and I will send you a few questions. This can be anyone from the community that has some sort of CentOS install. And then I want to introduce a new section called DeskShot where users can show off their workplaces.

I have a group of users (content editors) who need read-write access to apache document root. The apache web server is running as user:apache and group:apache. The filesystem permissions are currently set as apache:apache. How should I modify filesystem permission so that content editors can have read-write permissions and webserver can serve files as well? Following is what I have setup now, but

Hey I am just organizing the CentOS village at HAR and need a rough estimate of people who will be attending. What do people want? Shall the CentOS people have their own party tent?

Hey The last "Newsletter survey" found that many people are interested in how CentOS is used and what people do with it, I would like to invite anyone who has some spare time or has something to share to write a little article about how they are using CentOS. I suppose interesting stuff would be how many machines, how you manage them, what programs you use, stuff that has happened and

Hey We have now published the sixth version of the Newsletter and I think it is time to ask YOU ( the reader ) what we can improve. The current trend is away from really technical details more to a light read and entertaining stuff. Is this a good way to go. Or should we focus more on the technical side again*. Or is the balance right? What do you want to read about? What sections do you want?

Hi, I want to be certain that my apache and varnish logfiles are in strict date order when rotated. I'd like to run a sort command against them before they're compressed. I've had a look at the logrotate man page, and it looks like I can use a postrotate/endscript to do this. However, I can see any reference in the documentation for how to operate on the file. All the examples

Hi, I'm trying to remove any limit on open files for a user; I've set username nofiles to unlimited in /etc/security/logins.conf, but now I get "could not open session" if I try to su to the user. singhh - nofile unlimited I think this is related to PAM, so I've modifed /etc/pam.d/su and /etc/pam.d/login to use pam_limits.so: # cat /etc/pam.d/su

Hello I was just asked what the logo means and I had to admit that I really had no idea, as it was chosen way before my time. Can someone please enlighten me about the logo. I have tried google but nothing really came up :) Some pointers would be very helpful. Cheers Didi -- My www page: www.ribalba.de Email / Jabber: ribalba at gmail.com Skype : ribalba

Hello, Is it possible to group many nodes together? Suppose I have a large number of machines that I all want to have the same config - rather than specify them as individual nodes each inheriting the same config, I''d like to say that a group inherits a config, and define the group elsewhere. Does this sort of construction already exist? Could it be cobbled together from what we

Ralph, When you have a free moment, please edit the wiki front page and adjust the second box with the header: "Planet CentOS / Newsletter" so that the latter part of the text reads: ". . . and the occasional CentOS Pulse newsletter." In pseudo-code: sed 's/monthly/occasional/' Alan.

This talk of cameras has reminded me of a problem I've not yet been able to solve. I have a Logitech Communicate STX ( ID 046d:08ad Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX ) This seems to work under v4l on CentOS 5.4. If I load xawtv (from rpmforge) then I can view the image from the camera. But what I'd like to be able to do is have the image appear on a web page (maybe streaming

Hello, Just thought I'd drop a note here... a short while ago I was searching for some info on CentOS, and having been exposed to markmail.org via the R-project <www.r-project.org> <www.r-project.org>I went to markmail to do some digging. At that time, they didn't carry the CentOS lists yet, but after a simple request, now they do. The interface lends itself more to
