CentOS 5 :: Easiest Way To Mirror Existing Server Setup On A New Server?

Jan 13, 2011

We have two CentOS 5 servers in production (web and database). We are setting up a single staging server that will mirror the configurations of these servers as closely as possible. What is the easiest way to ensure the exact same software and configs as the production servers are setup on the new staging server. Our contracted data center provider has already informed us that they do not perform images and NO we do not have physical access to the machines. It is undetermined whether we will be virtualizing the staging server into two virtual servers yet, so for the purposes of this post lets assume we are not. I'm seeking a faster/more precise method than doing this by eye and hand.

Some information on our web server code...

General :: What Is Easiest Smtp Server To Setup And Configure?

Feb 25, 2010

I need to setup a mail server, purely for relaying mail to a MS exchange server. A previous employee used Postfix on CentOS. I have limited Linux knowledge and no experience with any mail server software other than MS Exchange, so we cannot continue with this solution (unless I can find a way of managing it all from a gui). Does anyone know of an MTA that can be configured completely by GUI? Everyone says sendmail has millions of features and loads of documentation, but I simply do not have the time to learn it. I need something that can be configured with minimal knowledge and via GUI, not command line. The only reason I'm not using Exchange is to try to save money, and hopefully it will be more secure.

Server :: CentOS 5.3 - Easiest Way To Keep Software Updated?

Mar 17, 2010

I have somewhere between 8 and 12 servers, spread amongst different webhosts, all running CentOS 5.3. Everything on the servers has been compiled from source:
> EngineX, PHP, MySQL, Munin, etc

I compile from source because I usually run ./configure to modify the source before installing. What would be the easiest way to keep the server software updated? I am considering creating custom packages from a server which I would keep up to date manually. Then use Capistrano or Puppet to install those packages on all of my servers.

Networking :: How To Incorporate DNS Server Into Existing Setup

Apr 8, 2010

I am working on setting up some networking connections here. [URL]. Depending on your router make and model. You can disable the dhcp server on the router if you go to advanced setup and in the dhcp option You should find two radio buttons off and on click off and you will disable the dhcp server on the router refer to your router documentations. I do not wish to disable the DHCP on my router (2wire). I have fixed the router so it assigns static IP addresses - by following the Management and Console Diagnostic" portion on this page: [URL]. There are 7 machines getting IP addresses from the 2wire router. Of the 7, I have configured 4 to have static IP addresses allocated to them by the router.

For example, the domain here is : 2wire.gateway.net
If I have a host named "zazu", and I ping zazu.2wire.gateway.net, I get the right IP address.
I am working with a product (ZIMBRA) that
-> requires for the host to "have MX records".
-> that you get a FQDN when typing "hostname"
-> that you get a FQDN when typing "hostname -f"
Basically, the way it is supposed to be set up is:
ZIMBRA (internal) <----> Kerio Mail Server (Windows) <---> email from the outside world

So, in a sense, the Kerio Mail Server is to forward mail received from the outside world to ZIMBRA and ZIMBRA is to send mail to the Kerio Mail Server to send it to the outside world. From what I see at these links: [URL] And [URL]. You have to set up some kind of DNS server? Why? Don't both the DHCP server and DNS server serve the same thing? How can I incorporate a DNS server into my setup when the 2wire (with DHCP) is working just fine?

Server :: Unable To Setup A NIS Server Setup On CentOS System

Jan 19, 2010

We are trying to set up a NIS server on a CentOS system. We need to have a NIS server which can provide NIS authentication to a couple of clients. We are practically new to all this stuff.

Just googled to find some ideas about installing ypserv and ypbind and portmapper. We did all that and also started them successfully. But now the clients are not able to join to the NIS domain . The error log states "YP_DOMAIN NOT BOUND".

I guess we have not entered the /etc/yp.conf, /etc/hosts files properly. Please let us know the detailed steps to setup a NIS server .

Also, please let us know what entries should go into the different /etc/<file_names>? What is meant by HOSTNAME in the /etc/hosts file?

Is there any other files which need to be changed? Are we missing any steps?

Also to add-on, while executing the ypinit command we faced the following error:

At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS servers. localhost.localdomain is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please cont inue to add the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the list, type a <control D>. next host to add: localhost.localdomain next host to add:

The current list of NIS servers looks like this:

Is this correct? [y/n: y] y

Error running Makefile.

CentOS 5 Server :: Setting Up The Local Installation Mirror?

Jan 11, 2010

I've just set up the local mirror for my 96 CentOS 5 workstations. The mirroring script is taken from public-mirror howto and looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
rsync="/usr/bin/rsync -avHzL --delete --delay-updates" # replaced -q with -v for debuging purposes, removed --bwlimit, added -L to follow symlinks
mirror=centos.politechnika.lublin.pl::CentOS # tried several different same result

[Code]....

I tested mirror consistency by putting the mirror addres I'm syncing with, directly into repo file. Than yumex works fine. I tried several different mirrors with the same result.

Software :: Get An X Window Server Setup On My CentOS 5.3 Server Rack?

I am trying to get an X window server setup on my CentOS 5.3 server rack. I have gotten as far as to doing:

yum groupinstall "X Window Sever" "GNOME Desktop Environment"

EDIT-Forgot to mention that I did Xorg -configure before testing the config. Only errors I got were:

(EE) LoadModule: Module ati_r500 does not have a ati_r500ModuleData data object.
(EE) Failed to load module "ati_r500" (invalid module, 0)

Linuxquestions--I posted this over on the CentOS forums, which are not as booming. Then I remembered these forums for when I had my VPS way back when and you guys were pretty helpful, of course expected me to mostly do my own reading which I dont mind its just having a hard time understanding some of the things in what I was reading. I even believe I came here with this problem before but abandoned the issue because my VPS was not powerful enough or something of the sort, but this was many years ago also on CentOS using apt. Now using yum which I like much better.

CentOS 5 Server :: Email Server Setup Using Sendmail And Dovecot?

Apr 24, 2009

I am trying to set up a mail server on centos5 using sendmail and dovecot, and eventually spamassassin and some antivirus filter as well. I'd also like to get the proper secure auth mechanism set up at some point too. But for starters, I've been having a lot of difficulty trying to even connect to the mail server from a client computer in the local network. I installed Eudora on the client and after some tweaking in dovecot I was able to connect to the mail server, but then when I try to send an email I get a "connection refused" error, with nothing being logged on the server that I can see.

The last time I set up a mail server was Fedora Core 2, so the configuration files have changed a bit to say the least, and I can't really refer back to those to set up this new server. Does anybody know of a good step-by-step doc on getting the mail server going? I've read the man pages and other various readme's, but these really only list out the available options with no really good explanation of what needs to be done to get the mail server going. If there isn't a full write-up on how to do this, I'll put something together when I'm finished so others can use it in the future.

CentOS 5 Server :: Xen Run Existing Vista Partition In DomU

Oct 8, 2009

I have CentOS 5.3 dual booting with Vista on a machine with AMD-V support. I'm looking to get my existing Vista partition running as a DomU Xen machine. Can this be done without having a dedicated video card?I've got a Xen kernel (from the repositories) installed and running perfectly with my nVidia graphics card. I tried to set up a new DomU through virt-manager and set it up as Vista, pointed it at the physical partition (fakeRAID mapper device) and gave it 2Gb RAM (I have 8Gb total). I got it to do a PXE network boot, knowing that this would fail and therefore no installation would be attempted, as no installation is needed.

This worked well in that the initial PXE boot failed and the machine shut down. When I start it now it seems to actually boot Vista, but I just can't see it! It goes as far as saying "Booting from Hard Disk..." in the viewer window and then doesn't update, although the disk activity and CPU usage are very similar to a machine booting Vista to the login prompt.

Ubuntu Servers :: Easiest Way To Move 200 Accounts To New Server?

Feb 9, 2010

I'm in the middle of moving my lab to a new server in the middle of the school year.. and need to copy all the user accounts to the new box, hopefully with all the student's passwords and contents of their folders intact.And since we are using the system daily, I need to do it all in an hour or 2.I'm thinking I can just

1. diff /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow from the old the new
2. copy all the student folders to new /home
3. write a script to set the permissions on all the new /home folders to match the user names.

It seems easy and safe so long as I back up the 2 existing files..Any reason not to try? Or is there an easier way?

CentOS 5 Server :: How To Setup A Backup

Jun 27, 2011

on my server I have atMail and a intranet site being hosted using mySQL for the database locally, and obviously backing it up would be a good thing. I got the backup package from the list if you use the add/remove software called dump-0.4.etc.. can't seem to find much on how to use it, set it up, nothing. Granted I could be looking for the wrong thing which I'm sure is the case. As of now it's looking like a USB drive is going to be my only option, that will change in the future as this "project" goes further (we are a windows shop trying out Linux, and the next step is going to be adding another server that's a file server at that point we'll probably go to NAS for the backup and then transer that to a USB for offsite/secondary backup).
