similar to: startup config scripts for CentOS

Hi All, I'm trying to migrate from Fedora Core 4 to a more stable linux deployment of Centos 4.3. I'm using kickstart to do an automated installation of minimal packages and then doing configuration in the %post section. I do this by calling serveral custom system-config-local-* scripts that I have written along with system-config-network-tui (aka netconfig). The problem that I am

I recently build a CentOS-based VMware server (the free ver) and now need to move all of the virtual machines off my old Windows-based VMware server (also the free ver) to this next CentOS-based one. I have successfully FTP'd all of the files to the new CentOS box and have even opened the server in the console Window, but cannot "start" it. I start the machine (like I always do),

I'd like to make a CentOS-based VMware server. Anything I should consider before doing so? (e.g. stuff to disable, kernel tweaks, etc)

I recently installed VMware on CentOS 4.4 (using the single server CD). I installed VMware fine, and then installed the VMware-mui tools that allow me to use a Windows box to console to the server. From my Windows box, I can create VMs on the fly just fine. Interestingly, I can create virtual Debian boxes ok, but I can't create virtual CentOS boxes. What might I be missing? As soon as I

For stability reasons, I'm running CentOS 4 for VMware (it's the devil I know). Are there any compelling reasons to upgrade to CentOS 5 for it? I'm relatively new to the whole virtualisation scene and perhaps there are some updated packages that might be good for VMware?

I'm installing NagiosQL on CentOS 4.5 and am trying to follow these instructions http://www.nagiosql.org/wiki/Documentation "....decompress the nagiosql-*.tar.gz to a directory accessible by your webserver (e.g. /srv/www/htdocs)" But since there is now /srv/www/htdocs folder on my installation, I'm not sure what to do on CentOS instead. Any advice? -------------- next part

I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why my Nagios install wasn't working on CentOS 4.5 (I'm used to Debian), and so I disabled SELinux and everything magically started working. Is this a good long term idea? Or is there a better way of doing things? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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?
