I just installed Centos5 in my PC. I have a dumb question regarding basic commands such as "locate" "mv". for some reason I can't issue these commands; I get a bash error "not found". I try to "locate mv" but locate doesnt work eather. How can I resolve this issue? am I missing some files or it is just a matter of telling bash where these commands are?
View 6 RepliesI used to be able to run locate and updatedb, but after an OpenSUSE update, they no longer work. I've reinstalled findutils and it appears to install correctly, but the commands still don't work.

I recently installed 10.04, in the process of installing MythTV... I'm looking for installed files and find bash no longer finds updatedb or locate commands. I did change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname to change the name of the box. Could this have hosed those commands? I tried them as root... sudo -i, same result...

As you can see I start out as a User by the $ prompt, according to the book I should get the following information: /bin/bash. As you can see I get nothing, so I entered into SU mode and ran the same command and still I get no information,
This isn't the only variable I'm having problems with.

I'm messing around with a new install of Debian 8, trying to get a sandbox of Oracle DB 12c up and running in an ESXi environment.
open-vm-tools was giving me troubles (resizing the window didn't make the resolution change), and Oracle DB was fighting me with environmental variables.
Well, while I was troubleshooting the Oracle issue, I needed to reboot. When it came back up, I couldn't log in. When I attempt to log in using known working credentials, the screen goes black like it should, and then loads the login screen again.
I SSH into the box and try to run commands, but every single command I run returns "Command not found" including "ls" "su" "cd".
I'm able to boot into recovery mode, where the commands work under root, but I'm not sure what to fix....
When I try execute a variety of basic commands (including ps, ls, ifconfig, locate), I receive the error 'no such file or directory'.
Here are some suggestions that I've found online, that I have tried without success: I did a 'whereis ps' and found the file in the /bin/, and have checked that '/bin' appears when I do 'echo $PATH' I did a filesystem check which showed my hard drive as being clean I tried doing a 'sudo chmod 777 ps' but was told that I dont have permission. I don't think permissions for these files would have changed though (and I can't check as I can't run the 'ls' command).
When configure packages bundled with CentOS, I have difficulty locating the installed directories. Anyway to locate those? I first worked on MySQL and now Firefox. They are not at the standard locations (or the ones refered in the manuals).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just started setting up a linux box in the office...I have some experience with ssh commands but not setting up a linux system and stuff.The box is connected to our network but I have no clue how to make windows & osx talk with it. How can I go by doing that and also setting up an apache server to be able to connect through network. Right now I have apache/linux/mysql running it works when i go to localhost, but I would also like to let all the computers in office to access it. I would guess that will deal with virtual host which I know how to setup. I just need to setup an IP.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOur CentOS 5 server had a weird issue last Friday. We couldn't run any bash commands, such as ls, vi. It said that it could not find /bin/ls. The only commands we can run are internal commands, such as ps, cd. After we reboot the server, everything is back.
I don't know what's wrong with it. Does anyone give me a explanation?
I would like to find documentation on all the available terminal commands and syntax for CentOS 5.
I have googled and looked through the wiki and found nothing about the terminal to my ability.
As for what I am referencing by commands:
sudo: I get the su means super user
cd: change directory
rm: remove, I don't know how to remove folders.
General navigation and using the terminal to create files/directories/open file editor/etc..
For example, when I want to have an identical line to the above line, I must press "yy" and then P (or p). Could somebody give me the list of such commands.

Upon booting from DVD, i get the below error: "CentOS CD Not found in any of the media drives. Please insert CentOS CD and press OK."
I have IDE Sony DVD RW AW-G170.
BIOS Setting:
Downloaded the CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-DVD image from centos.org from DVD.torrent using bittorrent file.
When booting from the DVD, it gives me the boot prompt:
Upon pressing enter, the log messages of the boot detect the media drive as: hdc: Sony DVD RW AW-G170 IDE ATAPI CD.
The below steps occur:
1) Select the keyboard type: selected us
2) Select the Language : selected us
3) Select the image:
- Local CDROM
- Hard Drive
- NFS Image
...
...
selected Local CDROM
Then the above error "CentOS CD Not found in any of the media drives. Please insert CentOS CD and press OK."
The booting steps does not ask the for media check step.
The below methods have been tried to solve the problem:
- Burnt the image in another 2 DVDs but the same error "CentOS CD Not found in any of the media drives. Please insert CentOS CD and press OK."
- Upon burning the DVD image , selected the DVD read speed: 8x. Upon burning the DVD selected 18x for burning. and then tried to boot with that DVD
- At the boot prompt entered : linux hdc=cdrom replaced hdc=hdb but the error remains.
For some reason, when using this kickstart file the commands in the post section chroot is not executed. I used the ksvalidator to check the syntax and its correct.
Code:
# Kickstart file.

Where can I put commands which should be executed just before
- logoff
- shutdown
I think there must be somewhere an opposite script to
.initrc
or
.bashrc
I have the following cron configuration in the 'crontab' file:

20 16 * * 1-5 root wget [URL]
07 30 * * 1-5 root wget [URL]
11 30 * * 1-5 root wget [URL]
My focus is on the three WGET commands. The problem is the first one works fine, runs at 4:20 p.m., but the other two never run! If I visit [URL] it works fine but cron never runs it.

I'm running a Counter Strike 1.6 Game server on my centos 5 VPS.

So I do the following and it gives me errors then. screen -A -m -d -S hltv ./hltv My question is, do I need all of those commands after screen? I just simply want it to not close once I exit Shell.

As a premise let me say I'm a debian guy so I'm not really an expert on every aspect of how Centos work and if the following questioms seem dumb, I'm sorry :D What I have to for a school project is to use Xen. After two days of cursing I've managed to install it correctly and so I've installed a domU Centos 5.5.
Now I need to install sysbench on this domU and run some tests. I've found this guide: [URL].. But I can't find some commands. Basically this is what I have to do
# tar -xvzf sysbench-0.4.12.tar.gz
# cd sysbench-0.4.12
# libtoolize --force --copy
# ./autogen.sh
# ./configure
# make
# make install
the problem is it doens't find libtoolize. I've tried to search it with 'yum search" but with no luck.Where can I find this package? Or is it a command include in some other package? In that case how can I solve this problem? Next problem is autogen.sh. It says I don't have aclocal but automake in installed as a package.
