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'm hoping to find the CentOS version of Debian's /etc/apt/sources.list "yum install program" isn't running properly on one server, and I'm wondering if the repositories (or whatever the yum equivalent is) are pointing to good places.

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

Hi, The subject says it all. I'm currently fiddling with CentOS to become comfortable with it. Starting from a minimal system (everything unchecked during install), I wanted to have a reasonable set of build tools. Roughly the equivalent of Debian's 'apt-get install build-essential'. I tried yum groupinstall "Development Tools", which resulted in a total of 108 MB

Hi all! Becaule i heard that the apt was great,i wanted to try it.And when i tried to update my system,the yum faid,i installed the apt which came from dag repo by yum. After that i did:sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade.There are some problem and i did as apt suggested:sudo apt-get --fix-broken install.Then apt said should remove 11 softwares insclude yum.I thougt even i removed the

Hello, I must make a choice concerning the use of a tool used to update rpms: yum, urpmi or apt-get. Personally, I use urpmi every day, without real problems (the dependences, even those of Perl are very well managed), the "hdlist" can be used in several forms , it contains a lot of funtions but, it is not integrated into up2date and does not have a graphic interface that fits Centos3

I recently moved away from apt, becuase I could not make it work with multiple x86_64, because there are many duplicate packages from both rchitectures that get installed, and I could not make apt-get work. Someone suggested that I try yum, which does work, but I am having a heck of a time managing multiple repositories. It was easy with apt, being able to pin priorities to repositories and

All, There are now development package repos located at yum.puppetlabs.com and apt.puppetlabs.com. Moving forward, these repos will contain Release Candidate packages of Puppet, Facter, Puppet Dashboard, MCollective and Hiera, including the soon to be released RCs of Puppet 3.0 and its dependencies, Facter 2.0 and Hiera 1.0. Packages are available to easily add these repos to yum and apt

Might there be anything CentOS related on why I cannot access the Monit GUI system on http://box-running-monit.com:2812 ? I am using a very basic /etc/monit.conf config, but I cannot get it serve the web page on my box The service start and stops fine (e.g. "/etc/init.d/monit start"), and I have it set to listen to port 2812 in the "/etc/monit.conf file" (so far, kept the

Were looking to use yum 2.1's ability to store repository data in /etc/yum.repos.d/ as a means of pushing updates to our mirrors list. As an added feature, we want to host third party repository config in installable .rpm's into CentOS-Extras. So that enabling a new repository becomes as easy as "yum install <repo name>". Eg. 'yum install repo- dag'. Which would in

I am using Cent oS 4 and I would like to setup the YUM repositories. Can anybody help me setup YUM? THat would be to install software, add repositories, and such necessary stuff. I know how to use apt-get, but not on Cent OS ( I will use either YUM or APT, at a time, but learn both of them, sooner or later.) Thank you. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

Hi, I've been using Debian for a few years, and there was one nifty little app that made installing and updating so much easier: apt-proxy. Most of the time, I'm taking care of small LANs with an average of five client PCs. But this is a very remote place in South France, so most villages only have 512 kbps DSL. One major update for openoffice.org-*, and I have to wait the whole day

I was checking out Dag's ( not dagw ;-> ) new blog... I don't know how much, if at all, this has been debated... http://dag.wieers.com/blog/using-apt-in-an-rpm-world if he is so adamant about apt over yum, why are we using yum still? Laziness? ;-) ...or are we just tasty food centric? Yum yum yum !!! - rh

I haven't configured YUM . How do I do it? Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I have no idea about it. Moreover, I would also like to use APT afterwards. I really want to try both of these. I have used apt-get before many a times, but never used YUM. Can anybody post the procedure to get this working? Which repositories to be added, how it is to be configured? And yes, how do i

I am trying to get the x86_64 isos of CentOS-5.2. I wish to use bittorrent. The last time that I did this I required the bittorent package from Dag's repository. I have configured /etc/yum.repos.d/DagWieers.repo thus: [dag] name=Dag Wieers RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux #Also see URL http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/

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

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?

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

Hi, I'm a newbie with CentOS. Actually, with this generation Linux. I used it back in the middle 90's (Debian and Slackware) but migrated over to FreeBSD. I got tired of the dependency nightmares and wanted a system that "just worked". The FreeBSD ports system did just that for me. I HATE doing the rpm soup thing. RPM finders are nice but I'd rather just use something
