similar to: Migrate RHEL3 to Cent3

Just came up with some interesting (read: frustrating) problems on RHEL3 and RHEL4 today at work, and I've confirmed one of the problems on my up-to-date CentOS4 system at home. I was forced into releasing some RHEL3 systems to replace our aging RH9 systems without time for adequate testing, and that leads to problems like these. On our legacy RH9 systems, mounting a USB key is no problem,

Hello everyone, Does anyone know if there are any Postgresql 8.1.3 RPMs for CentOS 3.6? I've looked at the Postgresql website but I couldn't find anything under RHEL3/CentOS3. I've tried installing the RHEL4 RPMs which seem to work. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors whenever I try to compile PHP5 from source. Thanks and Best Regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no

Hi all, I've been approached by someone who has an installation of rhel ES 3 (taroon update 2) to see whether I can take over doing security and other updates for them (no current rhn subscription). What I want to know is, with a suitable yum setup can I use a centos3 repository to apply updates to this box? If so, should I source updates from centos 3.5? Does the whole box need to become a

Hi everyone, My email server is running CentOS 3 and I can't upgrade it to CentOS 4 using the CD's. At first I thought it was the old Megaraid card (that's no longer supported), so I replaced that with a new card. I've tried ISO's from CentOS 4, 4.1 and now 4.2 which I've tested and booted in other machines. Just not this one. I've never had a problem like this

I don't see the tzdata updates for 2006m in the centos 3 mirrors ?!? http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3/updates/i386/RPMS/ its here for centos4... http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/updates/i386/RPMS/tzdata-2006m-3.el4.noarch.rpm and here for 2.1, http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/updates/noarch/tzdata-2006m-3.el2_1.noarch.rpm so where is it for centos3 ?!? my RHN connected RHEL3 system

I just installed CentRC1 on a Dell gx150 as a test. I'm running into the same problem I had with Fc3. I get a partition table error when trying to use ghost8 to create an image. I was considering putting Cent4 on a ProliantDL380, FC3 installed on that machine but wouldn't boot up, stuck on Grub. I had FC2 on the Proliant but when FC2 went to the 2.6 kernel, it hung up on the Nash prompt.

With Centos3, fedora1/2 I have been able to put /boot on a RAID1 partition and have it boot normally. Unlike earlier versions that used lilo as the default boot loader, these did not make the 2nd drive bootable but at least I was fairly confident that if the first drive failed I could use the install CD in rescue mode to fix up the 2nd one and go on. However, Centos4 won't boot at all with

In my /etc/fstab here is just a snippet LABEL=/1 ....<rest of line> LABEL=/boot1 ....<rest of line> When i installed centOS-4.3 and it has appeared after starting to use any version of centOS4 was that the labels in my fstab were getting the "1" appended to each label... but if the all the labels for my partitions are appended with the "1" and i format and

Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to move from RHEL ES 3 to CentOS-3.1? I've seen How-To's for RH9 --> CentOS-3, but nothing for the more horizontal move of EL3 --> CentOS3.

Hi all, I need to setup a repo server to allocate updates for RHEL3, RHEL4, RHEL5 and CentOS5. Apart of mrrepo tool, I see that I can use reposync from yum-utils package and yum-rhn-plugin package to setup a mirror update server. But I can't to find yum-rhn-plugin under centos5 repo. Where is it?? Or I need to use package released from upstream vendor?? Thanks -- CL Martinez

Hi all, I just ran into a problem. I was following the nifty procedure to upgrade a WhiteHat/RHEL3.x box to CentOS 3.6 and the update hung. It was in the process of updating MySQL server, and a post install scriptlet apparently failed. So I killed the process with a CTRL-C. However, upon trying to restart YUM, it says there is nothing left to, saying: Gathering header information file(s)

Hi all, I just wanted to ask if anybody did a # up2date --upgrade-to-release=4.1 on CentOS 3.5 box? I did it and I'm having a bit of problems. The box just dies... at intervals between half a day and a couple of days. Initially I considered it was a hw problem, so I had the tech support check it out, and they just switched the box with another, and put the harddisks back on the new box...

Hey folks, I know there''s an old thread about this, and the provided solution to make puppet work on RHEL3 was to recompile a more recent version of ruby. However, I think it would be nice to upgrade ruby from 1.6.8 to 1.8.6 with RPM, so here''s a quick tip for those who have to manage RHEL3 servers and would like to do it with puppet:

Out of curiosity, is anybody using puppet on RHEL3 (or Centos 3) ? If so, how did you get it to work ? Did you build a ruby-1.8.x or does puppet work on the 1.6.x ruby that ships with RHEL3 ? thanks for any pointers, David

There have been several issues fixes since the 3.0.2 release of Samba. One of the most important issues is a problem with password changing after applying the patch described in the Microsoft KB828741 article to Windows clients. I want to run Samba 3.0.4 on RHEL3. The version provided by RedHat is samba-3.0.2-6.3E. I can't find any other RPMs or SRPMs for RHEL3. Any help you can provide

I'm doing a complete upgrade of a server which I was using uw-imap for the imap/pop4 daemons.(This was an old RH 7.2 system and has been upgraded to CentOS 4.4 64bit) I notice there isn't an rpm at any of the repositories for this. I do pop before smpt for the remote users I have and also use procmail for calling spamc from SpamAssassin. Is there some place I can get uw's imap or

Hello, I've been attempting to get this working all day. :) I have an RHEL3 machine connected to a Windows 2000 PDC as a domain member. I'm running samba 3.0.21c, compiled from an SRPM: # rpm -q samba samba-3.0.21c-1 When I try to list my users, I get this: # wbinfo -u Error looking up domain users Exit 1 Similarly, `getent passwd` fails to show any SMB users. But `getent passwd

We're trying to migrate RHEL3 and CentOS4 based samba servers over to CentOS5, but it's a bleeding disaster. We cannot get it to work reliably with any version of CentOS5, i386 or x86_64, the included 3.0.x version of samba or 3.4.x/3.5.x compiled from source. The symptoms are: read access is extremely slow, write access seems to work in principle (e.g. creating a zeros-sized file on

Hello all, Has anyone experienced upgrading from RHEL3 to Centos 4.2? Is it advisable? I'm running mostly native RH stuff, Apache Web server, Sendmail, Squid and IPTables gateway. Will an upgrade work or should I start from scratch? -- Scott
