Maybe a little off-topic. But using cpan, I tried to install IO::Compress::Base 2.006. I already had 2.005 installed. For the life of me, I couldn't get it to upgrade. It finally occurred to me to download the ".tgz" file, and install it that way. That worked. But does anyone have any hints on how to force cpan to upgrade? I even tried the "upgrade" command, and that

You know, I suppose I could simply install the tarball, I've successfully installed mysql in the past that way. However, I thought I'd use yum, install the redhat/CentOS way, and I am amazed how hard it is to get this thing working. I admit to not having become all that familiar with mysql. Anyway, when I run # mysql_install_db --user=mysql I get a bunch of errors: 070321

I want to set up a server that will do network installs of CentOS, perhaps through NFS. Ideally, I'd put a CentOS in the CD of the target computer, I boot it off of that CD, and then the rest is done over my network and with the server. Has anyone done that and published it? Where can I find docs? === Al

I want to update a CentOS 6.x install.? But it's located behind a firewall with no connectivity to the external internet. What are my options? ??? === Al

I'm trying to install apache 2.2.x from a tarball. And it works. But I'm also trying to install modsecure, and I can't get that to work. It might help to know what CentOS uses to install Apache when doing the ./configure. === Al

ok - I tried this too. But CentOS tries to find the floppy as /dev/hda which is not the device for the USB-Floppy. Dell ships one with the server because no one is integrated. So when I try to include the driver disk the installer is not able to find it. -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] Im Auftrag von Jim Perrin Gesendet:

Hello all I used Centos 4.0 iso to setup my systems and updated till date. I assume they are equivalent to systems created with Centos 4.4 Now, I am planning to setup a full local repository of Centos updates, extras, centosplus etc. (not isos...as I intend to download isos only when Centos 5 becomes available. Please advise what directories I should download for my local repository, as the

Are there any possible undesirable effects of a BIOS upgrade? The worst I can think of is something that would change my SATA drives from being mapped as SCSI to being mapped as IDE. Ted Miller Indiana

I'm installing NagiosQL, and it's not displaying the http://mybox.com/nagiosql/index.php page, so I suspect that PHP isn't working correctly.

I am looking for a webdav tool much like wget. And it has to maintain timestamps (Cadaver does not, or at least I have not figured out how). There is a whole big WebDav server now of all (almost all) of IEEE 802.11 presentations (not the draft docs) and webdav is the access method....

I have to say that I was more that a bit surprised, if not to say dismayed when I booted a system with CentOS 5 installed to test a kickstart CD in interactive mode, took it to the custom partitioning screen, then rebooted without saving anything only to come up with a grub prompt, and the disk's partition table wiped. The ks.cfg file did say to wipe the disk when installing, but I would

I have a server with all the x-windows stuff installed. But it's giving me a text based login prompt on the console. I can log onto the console, and run gnome-session and GNOME comes up fine. How do I turn it on so that I get a X-Window GUI login prompt? === Al

Is there any "formal" mechanizism by which after a yum update , and kernel change that "drivers" can automatically be recompiled and a service restarted? Do I need to make my own? Thanks, Jerry

Hi, Is there any 'explodepkg' equivalent for the rpm command? What I want is simply uncompress an RPM package to get the files directly, but I didn't find anything in rpm's manpage. Cheers, Niki Kovacs

Hi, I know, epel has rt3 in version 3.6.x. And - sadly - for version 3.8.x the perl module dependencies are way ahead of what I can find in epel or rpmforge. But we really need some of the 3.8.x series features. So has anybody maybe built those modules + rt3 v3.8.x for C5? Any hint? I really do not want to install f10. :O Thx Rainer

I've put a Nvidia Quadro card in my machine. It was first detected as Quadro4 200/400 NVS. I have the pigtail for dual monitors. I've tried tweaking the xorg file to get it working, to no avail. So I then downloaded the 9631 version driver from Nvidia. The readme for the newer files said that they didn't support this card. I run the installer, it builds the module, but gets
