CentOS Community, I was wondering if anyone had a good resource or procedure for a step by step in installing a mail server with Centos. There ARE documents on google, however almost all that i've found were outdated from 2005. Does anyone know where I can find this type of document for a mailserver Postfix + MySQL + SpamAssassin + ClamAV + Squirrelmail + Postfixadmin, etc?

Is there an 'after the fact' way to find what yum groups are installed, including ones that were added with 'yum groupinstall' instead of the initial anaconda install? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Hi, Until last week, I could install a CentOS 7 based desktop using the following approach: 1. Install minimal system. 2. yum groupinstall "X Window System" 3. yum install gdm gnome-classic-session gnome-terminal liberation-fonts 4. Install applications as needed. This morning, the package group "X Window System" seems to have disappeared. This is embarrassing. What

Good Evening All, I have a question regarding CentOS 6 server partitioning. Now I know there are a lot of different ways to partition the system and different opinions depending on the use of the server. I currently have a quad core intel system running 8GB of RAM with 1 TB hard drive (single). In the past as a FreeBSD user, I have always made a physical volume of the root filesystem (/),

Hi all, I have a question related to yum groupinstall. I just tried a: yum groupinstall "MySQL Database" I expected that I would end up with a MySQL Database server, but it installed a bunch of .rpms *except* mysql-server. No big deal, I'm just curious if it was intended this way or not, that's all. Thank you and, Have a nice evening everyone, Alex

Hello all, trying to do the below command. yum --installroot=/mnt groupinstall base i receive this error message. "You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them. You can do that by running the command: rpm --import

Folks I have encountered a situation with YUM that isn't what I expected. Let's suppose I want to install a group, call it G. My first question would be -- is the group already installed. Realize all of this is scripted. So, I use yum groupinfo and I see the list of installed groups, and those not yet installed. If group G is in the list of installed groups, one would think that

CentOS Community, It is to my understanding that the /boot partition should never be placed on LVM and should be a physical partition on the hard drives (or on top of a RAID array). Is this an accurate statement? Also please advise if the SWAP filesystem is safe to be placed under LVM, or if this should be a hard partition / hard limit as well. I am unsure if boot issues or any filesystem issues

The main difficulty in enabling that is making sure that puppet doesn''t run ''yum groupinstall'' (or ''yum groupupdate'') on every run. To avoid that,

Hi, Is there a difference between 'yum groupinstall' and 'yum group install'? As far as I can tell, # yum groupinstall "X Window System" and # yum group install "X Window System" get me the same result. Just curious.

Hi there, I am currently compiling wine (latest) on centos 5.2. My compiler had error'd out with "X development files not found".

1. There are updates to CentOS-4Beta for the i386 and x86_64 arches.

CentOS Community, What commands can I use to check the disk health of the system when LVM2 is being used on top of a RAID 10 using a HARDWARE 3ware raid card. The OS sees a hardware raid usually as one big drive. Is there a way to check the disks individually to see if any are failing, or throwing hard or scsi transport errors?

I have seen people on the list say you can yum groupinstall everything yet when I tried their method, it didn't work Is there actually a way other than making a script with all the info in it? - rh

I did a minimal install and then with yum groupinstall, installed http, ftp and samba servers. However the gui server settings are not displayed for these servers. Is there a package that I need to install or do I need to change a setting(s) in a file? In reading "man yum" I did not see a way to find out what rpm's are installed with each group, or maybe I just did not
