similar to: "yum install ?" for locate to work?

I am not sure how to modify the config.h script for my CentOS 4.5 box (running Nagios + NDOutils). NDOutils seem to compile fine (./configure && make), but I'm having problems when I try to run the final command in the README file. ********* problems *************************** ndo2db-2x -c /etc/nagios/ndo2db.cfg Support for the specified database server is either not yet

On CentOS 4.5, I'm trying to upgrade MySQL 4 to MySQL 5. (I enabled the RPMforge with the repository protection) rpm -qa | grep mysql gives me: mysql-4.1.20-2.RHEL4.1.0.1 mysql-server-4.1.20-2.RHEL4.1.0.1 But when I try to update yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade mysql-server I get Loading "priorities" plugin Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up repositories Reading

What is the best way to upgrade to Python 2.6 from the default Python 2.4. I'm running CentOS 5 --> Linux mybox.domain.com 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 12 18:10:13 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I've read these horror stories online and don't want to break yum.

I'm looking for the Red Hat equivalent of this Debian statement "apt-get ?y install postfix mailscanner spamassassin bind9 clamav ssh webmin webmin-core logwatch libspf2-0 libmail-spf-query-perl" "yum search" can't find some of the packages. Is there some sort of online DB or something that I can search through to see which repository I need to enable for some of

I'd like to be able to do a "yum upgrade" without having to hit Y each time. While "yum install -y [program]}" seems to work, "yum -y upgrade" doesn't seem to. Is there a way to easily do this? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

My apologies if this question has been previously answered, but could anyone here provide me with resources that I might use to help build a case for exclusively using CentOS in an enterprise environment? (Approximately 200 servers) Long story short, I've used a little of everything out there (Gentoo/Debian/*BSD/Slackware) and have a fairly good overall strategy of how they all work (all of

I'm looking to install n2rrd, which requires Perl 5.8.x (http://n2rrd.diglinks.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi) I see that lots of Perl stuff is installed. Do I just need to yum upgrade perl-libwww-perl-5.78.5 to the latest? Here's what I have installed perl-wise: [root at nagios-server nagios2cacti]# rpm -qa | grep perl perl-DBI-1.40-8 perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-30 perl-XML-Parser-2.34-5

I'm trying to use nmap2nagios (a perl script) on CentOS, but when I run it, I get the following error: (If this is offtopic for this list, please let me know) ./nmap2nagios.pl -v -r /tmp/nmap.xml -o /tmp/new.cfg ./nmap2nagios.pl: line 9: use: command not found ./nmap2nagios.pl: line 10: use: command not found ./nmap2nagios.pl: line 11: use: command not found ./nmap2nagios.pl: line 14: use:

I'm on a fairly old RHEL box, when I "cat /proc/version", I get the following: Linux version 2.4.21-4.ELsmp (bhcompile at daffy.perf.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)) At this stage, I guess I don't have 'yum', so where exactly do I get the individual RPMs? I went to DAG to find some stuff I needed, but some of the rpms at

I'm trying to get MRTG up and running on CentOS, but the displayed http page says that I don't have permission to access /mrtg/ on the server. Here are my commands yum install mrtg vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/mrtg.conf /etc/init.d/httpd restart cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/www/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' --output /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg public at 10.200.200.1

I'm running nmap2nagios.pl, and I notice that on CentOS 5, I had to run the following to get it working (when I didn't have to do the same on CentOS 4) perl -MCPAN -e shell (answer questions) > install XML::Simple Why is that?

I am trying to trying to "./configure" NDOutils on a CentOS 4.4 box with a minimal install, but it gives me the following error, which I assume means I need something gcc-related? *********************./configure output ******************** ************************************************************** checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking build system

I'm following the instructions on this URL http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RT_3.4.x_On_CentOS_4.x and came across the part that said "WARNING: RT overwrites some packages from the base distribution, especially mod_perl" How exactly do I "protect" the RT repository? It links to the "ProtectBase" program http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/ProtectBase

Hi all, I am new to this list and puppet. I am working at the Rutherford Appleton Lab and am part of a team that looks after several hundred servers mainly running Scientific Linux (based on RedHat). I am currently looking at puppet to be used to perform what is currently done by kickstart scripts, with these performing an on going configuration job once the systems are built. My current

Someone told me that if you have a CentOS or Fedora server, you can pay a Red Hat yearly fee and get them to support it (because the environments are so similar). Can anyone here substantiate this claim? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm installing Fruity for Nagios using the 4.4 Single Server CD and want to force upgrade PHP 4 to PHP 5 without having to upgrade everything on CentOSplus. In order to install Nagios, I have to first enable RPMforge. However, to use Fruity, I have to use PHP 5, which isn't included in the RPMforge repository, unless I enable CentOSplus and yum update/upgrade everything (which I did

The free DHCP solution, ISC, seems to be having scaling issues (i.e. handling only about 200 DHCPDISCOVER and 20 DHCPRENEW requests), and I was wondering if anyone had any open source suggestions of solutions that could scale much better? (Ideally, I could find a free version of a solution like Nominum, but I know that's asking for much.) Anyone have any suggestions? -- Also on LinkedIn??

I am looking to create an internal yum repository on my LAN in order to save on having to constantly go to the internet to download new packages. Where might I look (or what might I search for) to get going in the right direction? (I googled, but I cannot seem to find a good answer. I'm guessing that I'll just need to sync the main RHEL repo, as well as the RPMForge one?) --------------

I'm inheriting dozens of CentOS servers and am looking for various tools to help me wrangle the rpm / yum / repo madness. Any tools you might suggest for me to look into would be greatly appreciated!
