I just installed PHP 5.2 using this guide [url]
The install did work without errors and is listed correctly on yum but isn't working when I test a php script.
So now I need to downgrade back to the php 5.1 but yum is now stuck on this atomic repository, how do I get back to the Centos repository and downgrade PHP to 5.1?
Recently I tried to change my login screen with plymouth in the terminal, i got to the part that shows all of the different login screens you can have, so I clicked the one I wanted. When I tried to log back in, the theme was basically the same as the default, but it made me click log in, enter my username, click accept again, then enter the password. So I was wondering how I could make it the default login screen where it's all on one screen.

The monitor no longer displays anything.If she connects another monitor to the computer, the monitor will work properly. If she boots off the live CD, her current monitor works properly. If she swaps out her graphics card with another with the current monitor, there is no display.Apparently, there is a remembered setting for the resolution of her particular monitor. Is there a way that it can be reset back to the default?

Booting into safe mode doesn't give me a GUI.
I want to try to reinstall the ATI proprietary drivers eventually. I have them on the hard drive, but I have had no luck installing them using the CLI so far.

We are doing some disaster recovery exercises with CentOS 5. One of the things we want to do is be able to restore to our old production server. However, after restoring the partitions the boot loader starts and then does nothing other than displaying the location of the kernel image at the top of the screen.
If I use the installation CD to boot and chroot into the system everything appears to work fine. I am not sure why the system isn't working right.
I install CentOS 5.5 from DVD, set root password and log in as root. Then I install Mondo Rescue backup solution, make a backup and restore from it. After that, the system boots just like before, but I cannot log in. When I enter the right password, a couple of lines of text flicks briefly on a screen, too fast to read and the it returns to the initial password prompt. When I enter wrong password, it says "Login incorrect".What am I doing wrong?
I am sending a message to mondo-devel mailing list, but I suspect the root of the problem lies in CentOS, or something that I do wrong with it?I have installed both i386 and x86_64 versions of CentOS 5.5 from DVD's, the problem is the same.I'm running this on a separate machine that I have just for experiments with CentOS and virtualization. I install CentOS with defaults except I uncheck "Desktop - Gnome" and check "Virtualization". I can reinstall if needed.
Every time after I boot up, I have to follow the info at URL...Do you have any ideas on to make sure that I do not have to do that almost every time I boot up?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe last time I did a restore using cpio under CentOS 3.9 it took a very long time for me to find my seemingly correct command wasn't working and I ended up doing the work in Knoppix. This time I thought I'd run my command by wiser heads before the necessary tape turns up and I spend a lot of time finding my command doesn't work. cpio -i -mtvV --block-size=128 --no-absolute-filenames /var/log/maillog* < /dev/st0
Does this look right? The backup string is find / -path /mnt -prune -o -path /lost+found -prune -o -path /sys -prune -o -path /proc -prune -o -path /swapfile1 -prune -o -path /var/named/chroot/proc -prune -o -print | cpio -o -H crc --block-size=128 > /dev/st0
EDIT: I changed the restore string to cpio -i -mtvV --block-size=128 --no-absolute-filenames *var/log/maillog* < /dev/st0 EDIT2: Whoops, should be cpio -i -mvV --block-size=128 --no-absolute-filenames *var/log/maillog* < /dev/st0

How can i find the default repository directory ?? one of the reasons why i need to know this is so that i can place any new downloaded .rpm files in that directory and then use
> yum install filenameto install that package .. (does that make sense ?? is that a good idea ??)I just installed a new linux and i am trying to get familiar with the enviroment I know that yum gets the source directories from /etc/yum.repos.d but i really couldnt understand the files in there.
Where i can get/see original Maverick sources.list? I have googled but no results, maybe wrong search-words..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am installing a cluster which is hidden from the rest of the world and there is no router either froma general login node. I would therefore require a local repository of the updates to CentOS5.4. When I checked I only found instructions for a full mirror. As I have no room and neither the human resources to setup and maintain a full-blown mirror, this is not a solution. However if I try to find updates for 5.4 to download in a repository-type of way I fail to find a solution. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places.

I've created the necessary folders under my webserver, and used rsync to update them from my local CentOS mirror, following the instructions at [URL]
I notice it says to run "createrepo" on the base repository, created by copying the rpms from release DVD.
When I rsynced the updates repo, but I notice that the files in repodata are very small. In fact, having a look inside them, filelists.xml contains no file details. But if I run createrepo in the updates directory, filelists.xml gets lots of file details inside it.
I wondered if maybe the local mirror hadn't been updated properly, but checking against mirror.centos.org shows that has the same files.
how does the (real, live, CentOS) updates repo work when there is nothing in the filelists?
