Greetings In the attempt to upgrade the technology stack on CentOS 5 from stock PHP to PHP53 I have made some progress. Much thanks to all respondents, especially Jesus. One repository that provides a complete set of builds and seems to fulfill both PHP and PHP53 requirements is the IUS one: http://iuscommunity.org/ Repos here: http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/i386/repoview/

Greetings, I've just upgrade a home server to CentOS 6.5 with a new dual-core processor and mobo. I see that with the CentOS 6.x release rp-pppoe can be run as a daemon. I've looked through some online one-page setup notes for rp-pppoe, but nowhere is there a discussion of running it as a daemon. Until now, I've cobbled an ifcfg-ppp0 file and placed it in

Greetings, Per the subject line, how does pop3 get tcp-wrapped when using dovecot? More specifically, when blocking email and (still) using sendmail, entries in /etc/hosts.deny look something like: sendmail: xxx.xxx. etc (depending on the depth/degree) for vsftpd it's vsftpd: xxx.xxx (where the x's are parts of an octet) for sshd it's sshd: xxx.xxx for pop3/dovecot it's?

Greetings, We have someone requesting the use of Wordpress 3.3.1. It requires PHP 5.2 minimum. Currently, our machine is running CentOS 5.7. What are the issues/concerns in upgrading from PHP 5.1 (the current PHP rpms) to PHP53? Much thanks, Max Pyziur pyz at brama.com

Greetings, I am looking to implement tcp wrappers with dovecot; I am using the following two links as guides to configuration: http://blog.acsystem.sk/linux/brute-force-attack-dovecot-imap-server-blocking-ip-with-tcp-wrappers http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcess (you need to go to the very bottom) I'm concerned in making the configuration correctly. If you set login_access_sockets =

Greetings, Today, I decided to reboot one of my CentOS machines after it had been running for 219 days. In this time, I had done yum updates several times. When I tried rebooting the machine, none of the kernels would work except for the oldest one. Here are the installed kernels: kernel-2.6.32-504.23.4.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-573.3.1.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.x86_64

Greetings, It seems that I've hit a size limitation when adding unwanted IPs to a "Deny From" line. Is there any place where this is specified? Also, if I hit the max length on a "Deny From" line, can I add another "Deny From" line? (Running CentOS 6, and the following version of Apache: httpd-2.2.15-28.el6.centos.x86_64) Much thanks, Max Pyziur pyz at

Greetings, Apologies for my seeming daft naivete. I'm wondering if there any sort of conventions for using Wordpress on CentOS? Generally until now, I have had users install Wordpress from tarballs on a case-by-case basis. This means that you can have several different versions of WordPress operating on a site. With the RPM you have a version that can be consistent across multiple

Greetings, I'm refining a CentOs configuration installation, now just over one month old running on a colocated production server. Previously, we ran a version of Fedora for over seven years. Specifically, I'm reviewing our sendmail configuration, both with respect to authentication and port usage. Previously, we had the following line in the sendmail.mc line:

Greetings, What's the process for requesting minor enhancements to packages? Currently, CentOS dovecot rpms ship w/o having tcp_wrappers enabled; to have dovecot compiled with tcp_wrappers requires adding one directive to the to the dovecot.spec file in the srpm. If the directive isn't there, then any dovecot upgrades via YUM/RPM require first to have the RPMs recompiled before doing

Greetings, I tried to install FASTTRACK repos today from this link: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories and the links were broken e.g. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/fasttrack/CentOS-fasttrack.repo fyi, Max Pyziur pyz at brama.com

Greetings, Beginning today, I started to receive the following when ftp'ing to my CentOS 6 machine: ncftp /home/pyz2 > dir connect failed: No route to host. connect failed: No route to host. connect failed: No route to host. Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode. I can make a connection, but I can't get a directory listing or transfer data/files. I'm flummoxed. What I had

Greetings, The alpine mail rpm indicates that it comes packaged with configuration files (/etc/pine*conf*). However, they aren't there. Possible? Also, how did you get rid of the annoying alpine bug: a message that keeps flashing - [Folder vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection]? Thanks. Max Pyziur pyz at brama.com

Greetings, I've read reports that there has been degradation in Internet traffic over the last month. Until today, I haven't experienced any. However, getting bank record data from chase.com here in NYC seems impossible. I also noticed erratic ftp behavior today; connections can be made but data can't be transferred. This isn't consistent, though. (I have a machine in LA while

Greetings, I have three drives; they are all SATA Seagate Barracudas; two are 500GB; the third is a 2TB. I don't have a clear reason why they have failed (possibly due to a deep, off-brand, flakey mobo; but it's still inconclusive, but I would like to find a disaster recovery service that can hopefully recover the data. Much thanks for any and all suggestions, Max Pyziur pyz at

Greetings, I'm rebuilding a machine to function as a gateway/router to Verizon DSL. It has two NICs eth0 and eth1 (static set to 192.168.1.1). eth0 connects to the DSL modem. I've setup Verizon DSL usine pppoe-setup, and it works. I can connect from home machines to the server (192.168.1.1); while logged in to the server, I can connect to both the internet, and the home machines.

Post a photo of the error message somewhere if you can?t describe it better than that. You might have to turn off rhgb mode to get a

Greetings, Per the subject line, what controls the time of the running of scripts located in the /etc/cron.[daily|weekly|hourly] directories? Specifically with CentOS 6.* I've noticed that scripts in /etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.weekly run at different times of the day, or on different days. In my experience on other rpm-based distributions, cron daily and weekly scripts run at 4am;
