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 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:

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'm looking for a good online (or even a good) "how to be a sysadmin" guide for beginners geared towards CentOS users.

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? 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 looking to troubleshoot this error when I run "tail /etc/httpd/logs/error_log" [Tue Oct 09 07:22:59 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/ (I get this when I run Nagios' "./check_http -H 127.0.0.1".)

On CentOS-based VM appliance I'm building, I would like to create a script that runs upon login that asks the user a series of questions that does (among other things) ask them to input their networking information (IP, mask, gate, DNS, etc). I'm hoping you guys might point me in the right direction. Here are some of the specific things I'm looking to accomplish with such a script.

Hi! I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong with a "simple" FTPS setup and VSFTPD. I saw references on Google and tried, and tried, and tried... without success. I'll start by explaining my situation: I have a WEB development server behind a firewall. It's currently only for the intranet. We now have an external company that will have to do a new website

Howdy I'm trying to run FTP server behind firewall. And i can't enable passive mode from the Internet. There are plenty howtos but there aren't many with my combination. For now i have configured port forwarding and ftp server itself. On the router: # firewall-cmd --list-all --zone=external external (active) interfaces: enp3s1 sources: services: openvpn ssh ports: 1194/tcp

I'm setting up a new CentOS 4.4 server to work with Fruity (a frontend program that operates Nagios). For security purposes, what chmod and chown settings do you put on the /var/www/html folders? Also, can anyone recommend any good LAMP hardening guides? While I'm not planning on putting this into production, I'd like to cover all my bases before that's an issue. --------------

Can someone tell me the name of the text installer used in distros like Debian / Ubuntu? I'd like to create one upon first time boot for a CentOS-based virtual application I'm making. So, after someone boots up, I'd like to have a little GUI thing ask them questions and then put those variables in a file (or maybe use something like sed to edit other network config files).

I'd like to install NagiosQL on CentOS, but I don't see a yum package for it, so I'm going to download the source code. If I download it, where in CentOS's file system (i.e. in which directory) is the best place to untar, compile, and run it? (Sorry, I've been spoiled by packages!)

I'm looking for the "Single Server CD" mentioned in this Linux article ( http://www.linux.com/articles/60825), but can seem to find it in the CentOS link provided there in the article. http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/isos/i386/ All of the places serving the images have either, (a) all of the 5 cd set, and/or (b) a DVD .torrent file. I just want the ~200MB single server cd.
