similar to: Upgrading to CentOS 6

Help! Just ran the installation DVD but there is no option to 'upgrade'. Looked at the RHEL docs, http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installati on_Guide/ch-guimode-x86.html#id4594292 referenced off the CentOS Release notes but the CentOS installation doesn't offer the 'upgrade'. I use to be able to upgrade by doing a 'yum update'. That

Greetings, I *do* still have an FC2 box. Would anyone second this procedure: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14052&forum=37&post_id=47945 Thanks. Max Pyziur pyz at brama.com

Please forgive me if I missed something, but I've searched all over in hopes of finding something documented on a procedure to upgrade a Centos 3.4 system to the beta. I've got the DVD burned and am testing the process on VMWare. All I could figure out how to do was install over the existing partition without formatting, but this was quasi-disastrous so I 'reverted' my

I am loading a server from the CentOS 6.7 ISO and then upgrading. After loading at release 6.7, the machine behaves normally. After running yum update, the X server will not start. Attempts to start it manually result in one of the following messages depending upon which OS is loaded. I initially loaded it as 64 bit and when that did not work I tried the 32 bit version of the OS. The

I am new to CentOS. I mostly use Fedora Core. I installed the CentOS 5 Beta on a test machine from the DVD. I configured it with both KDE and Gnome. I am using the default YUM configurtion which loaded with the DVD. Unlike FC7T2, CentOS 5 Beta does not seem to pick up Yum updates. Is this by design or do I need to add repos to my /etc/yum.repos.d? Thanks for any suggestions Bob Styma

Does ROR + Oracle use bind variables? Using :conditions in a find statement gives the appearance that bind variables might be used : header = "test header" Posts.find(:all,:conditions=>["header = ?",header]) i.e. Does AR just pass the whole string to oracle or the SQL and the parameters? I''m in an oracle shop and my boss wants to know, i''d be very

I am also using CentOS, but to get a bug fixed, you have to go upstream to RedHat. I think John Pierce is right, I had to change my run level to get the alternate consoles to work. I still have the machine at run level 3 hoping that a bug fix lets me go back to run level 5. Other machines work fine, just the 2 with the MACH64 video on the motherboard will no longer run X.

greetings - I'm trying to upgrade a centos 3.6 box to version 4. I tried to do an upgrade using yum but that failed and now the Cd installer is not letting me upgrade either. Here's what I did: following the howto, I tried to do the upgrade using yum. I installed the GPG key and upgraded the centos-release and the centos-yumconf packages. When I tried to upgrade yum package I ran

Hello there, the *old* PC (Turion 64 MT-32 800MHz, 1Gb RAM) of my gf is running Windows XP, and I plan on installing a CentOS beside of it, allowing her to select the OS at boot-time. Other system/OS installing options are not retained, please avoid ;-). My first attempt was to install the CentOS7 GNOME-Live on a USB flashdisk and to boot it on the machine. It was either freezing at grub stage

Hi, I am running an up to date centos5.9 system. The package, net-snmp-devel-5.3.2.2-20.el5 Contains among oteher things: /usr/lib/libnetsnmpagent.so When I link with this library (-lnetsnmpagent), I get a bunch of unresolved references.: My Google searches has not given me hints to where the C to Perl library exists. I would guess that yum would have loaded the correct package as a

Our outsourced IT department has decided to use white listing on the firewalls for outbound ftp. I was given a list of sites our lab had accessed via ftp and eventually tracked them down to Linux machines running yum. They are all CentOS 5 or 6 with a smattering of 7. It is impractical to list all the possibilities since they change on a regular basis. Also any 3rd party repos we need are

I just loaded CentOS 5 on a new x86_64 machine I built for my wife. I am converting her from the dark $ide. :-) I started getting the following messages from yum: ]: yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

I am considering moving a Fedora Core 2 server to CentOS 4.2. Is it possible to do this as an in place upgrade? Also, I have a RH9 server that I would like to migrate to CentOS. Is that possible? Thanks for any insights, Steve

Greetings, A friend of mine is running 3.3 He asked what I thought about going to 4.4 I imagine it is best to backup and fresh install and migrate old configs and data What is the wisdom on the list I remember going from beta 3 to 3 a long time ago. Anyone ever upgrade from 3.x to 4.x without problem and how so? I didn't see a lot on the www other than some apt-get info Thanks in

Hi all, Week 2 working with Ruby on Rails... I have a working app in development that is now throwing a generic, "Application error (Rails)" message in production. How do I deal with this so I can find more information about why the error is being thrown in production, but not in development? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am running wine 20050725. I used winetools to get an assortment of software loaded and with a bit of tweeking it worked. I then ran the install CD for Broderbund "The Print Shop". It loaded OK and after copying a few dll's from my windows box, it came up and ran. My problem is with printing. After reading through the users guide on printing and poking around in the archives

Hi all, I've previously configured sendmail to send system messages on selected servers running CentOS 6. Usually they just kinda' work out of the box. No problems to speak of. However most of my CentOS 7-servers are rather flakey when it comes to sendmail. Most of the time they just won't send mails for whatever reason. Further, most of the time I can get it working, it's

I was also successful with 7 computers, however they run version 6.7. For some reason this one computer upgraded to 6.8 and Xorg does not work. I also changed to 3 different terminals and it did not help. I am not giving up yet.
