I thought I would turn here before giving up. I am trying to install Twiki 4.2 on CentOS 5 with all updates. (I also tried Twiki 4.1.2 as well) I am running a custom rolled Apache 2.2.8 server and custom rolled PHP 5.2.6 (built with oracle support). These work and are rock solid. I've been using the same config with very heavy duty scripts and php applications with no issues. When trying to

Does anyone have experience with linux tools to parse the text from common non-text file formats for searching? I'm trying to use the kinosearch add-on for twiki which is fine as far as the search goes, but it takes forever to generate the index. It uses xpdf to extract strings from pdf's, antiword for .doc, and since it is perl, the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module for .xls. Some

CentOS: 7.1.1503 I have a problem with systemd which somehow manages to fill /tmp up with a lot of files. These files obviously are from the Apache server and don't pose a problem per se. The problem is that these files don't get removed daily: du -hs systemd-private-* 7,7G systemd-private-mpg7rm 0 systemd-private-olXnby 0 systemd-private-qvJJ5o 0 systemd-private-Rs2nBv It was my

I'm looking into 'porting' some custom init.d scripts that are in use on CentOS 6 boxes for use on CentOS 7 using systemd One particular init.d script needs to run after autofs has been started, but before X11 is started I'm guessing I could use something like: After=autofs.service Before=graphical.target Is this correct? However, I would like to use the same systemd

Yes. Those files obviously are created by web applications (PHP) and

Hi, I'm in need of rebooting a server 1 minute after I give the command. I'm used to shutdown -r +1 which works as advertised. Now that shutdown is part of systemd <http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/shutdown.html> and it is actually a link to it in CentOS 7, I've seen in the documentation
