CentOS 5 Server :: Cannot Setup Diskless Environment With Host (3.9 Kernel)

Feb 11, 2010

My problem is that I can't setup a diskless environment with CentOS 5.4 (server) and CentOS 3.9 (hosts). On the host, I've recompiled the CentOS 3.9 kernel, with these mods:
- added kernel level IP autoconfiguration;
- added NFS file system support;
- added Root file system on NFS;
- added e1000 driver (the host has a gigabit network card);

Then, I have followed the guide at this link: [URL]
But in my dhcpd.conf I'he put other parameters:
ddns-update-style interim;
allow bootp;
allow booting;

subnet 192.168.195.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

Ubuntu Servers :: Diskless Login - Setup A PXE Boot Environment?

Nov 24, 2010

how to to setup a PXE boot environment. The server contains a LUbuntu 10.10-installation the client is Ubuntu 10.10 Server (I didn't mix up those two...) So, everything is going fine; the client gets an ip-adres, and boots over PXE. The login-prompt is shown. Problem: I can't login. It seems my users are deleted (better not copied). Of course the system (client) works fine when I boot the system from it's harddrive. The only thing I can guess, there going something wrong with:

Server :: How To Setup Diskless PXE Client On Debian Lenny (HPC)

Aug 8, 2010

I currently have a debian lenny high performance cluster running seamlessly using dhcp and tftpd-hpa. All nodes are completely diskless, and i would like to keep it that way. I now would like to have a client boot over local into a full KDE desktop.

Here's the cache.
1. I would like the client to also be a node. I would like it to handle processing as the other nodes do, but this one with a full desktop, with ALL data and privileges accessible.
2. The client will have its own workstation graphics. It will need to have that driver loaded without slowing the system.
3. Client will need to be able to use its own usb, bd-rom, dvd, audio, etc. even though it will be booting into the HPC.
4. Wireless. I cannot run 70 ft of lan across an apartment. not happening.

The idea is a media center applicable "powerhouse" with high-end power and graphics for easy media editing, 3d creation, and gaming. Will also be used for webcache over all local, file sharing, and other server applications.

HPC specs:
-headnode: hp compaq p4-ht 3.2 ghz, 4x500gb, 4gb mem, gigabit ethernet, wireless-N
-nodes: 4x p4-ht 2.2 ghz, 2gb mem, no-name brand slim desktops; 2x panasonic toughbooks p4-mobile 1.8 ghz, 1.5gb mem; 3x gateway p3 unknown specs; and 1 hp 530 notebook 1.6ghz core2 duo, 1.5gb mem
-client: hp compaq core2 duo 2.13 ghz, 4gb mem, wireless n, bd-rom, 2x dvd-rom, usb 3.0 card, bluetooth, 1gb AGP nvidia geforce 6800 dual-dvi, no hd.
I need to know how to set up this PXE.

Ubuntu Installation :: PXE Server Diskless Setup - Boot Process Hangs

Jun 24, 2010

I have a PXE server which installed DHCP TFTP AND NFS service. and set them up followed by [URL].

The boot process hanged here:
ipconfig: eth0: SIOCGIFUNDEX: No such device
ipconfig: no devices to configure
[-n eho]
. /tmp/net-eth0.conf
/init: line 3: can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf
...

What I did try to work around is,
1. Set portfast to all the ports connected the PXE server and client.
2. Edit pxelinux.cfg/default, try different setting in "ip=" (I did not find any menu in the internet which explain to to configure this file).

Fedora Networking :: Nfs Permission Error On Diskless Environment

Dec 9, 2010

I'm trying to set-up a diskless environment on my home network, based on a F12 server and one FC14 client and I have a problem that I think is related to NFS, but googling around I cannot find any solution.
Basicly the client boots correctly, gdm fires up showing the login window, but the system doesn't let me in, if I switch to console (CTRL+ALT+F2) I cannot login with both standard and super user getting a "permission denied" error.

I tryed to mount the exported fs on another computer and ls -l on the mounted dir shows both user and group set to nobody.

If i mount the exported dir on server side (i.e. mount -t nfs localhost:/...) permissions user and group shows correctly

Server :: Web Development Environment Setup?

Feb 21, 2010

I have been looking around the web and forums for a while for the best way to set up a development office. I havent really found many specifics. I am with a new company is just starting to really take their development services seriously. We've added a couple developers and designers in the last month. I am trying to figure out a the best way to set up our environment.

We have a couple dedicated virtual servers with Media Temple. Currently, we develop everything under a subdomain of a domain we set up for development. When the site is ready to go live we move the site to its own domain. I cant believe this is the best way to go about things. So, what do you guys suggest as a setup? Software, versioning, etc. We have the ability to setup a test server in house and then push out changes to the production server but not really sure if that is needed.

We do mainly Wordpress development. If this should be posted in another area,

Ubuntu :: Setup A Web And Mail Server On Desktop Environment?

May 27, 2011

Before setting up a dedicated web- and mail-server system, I want to learn it by setting both up on my desktop environment. So far I can only find how-to's which are based on server install iso's.

Is it wise first to install a mail server by using i.e. [URL]. Get it up and running and then install a lamp server using [URL]

Both servers must use my own IP address which is related to my own domain xxxxx.com I also need to understand how to incorporated these.

My desktop is Ubuntu 11.04 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64.

Server :: Setup Master / Master Mysql In HA Setup Without Use Of Load Balancer Provided By Host?

Mar 31, 2010

I have a load balancer with 2 web servers behind it. The web servers rsync with cloud storage to update their apache directories 1 time every hour. Apache is just running php pages that pull/push data to a DB so they dont need to be updated that often. However I need to figure out how to implement a Master/Master MySQL setup to have my web servers point to for the PHP stuff. I need to implement it without having a single point of failure. The Load balancers are useless for failover as they only detect availability based on Ping request. So putting a master/master setup behind a Load Balancer is out. what is the best way to setup the master/master mysql in a HA setup without the use of a load balancer provided by the host?

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup Simple File Server In A Native Environment?

Dec 7, 2010

I have two computers on my home lan I am trying to share files between...My desktop which is running Ubuntu Server 10.10 (x64) with a GUI, and my laptop which is running Ubuntu Desktop 10.04. I have tried a million different tutorials regarding SAMBA setup, but they never work.

In addition, most of those tutorials are geared towards hybrid Linux/Windows environment. I do not have any microsoft product in my home. I have created the share on my server, but I'm not sure how to connect to it from the laptop (once again at this point in the tutorials it explains how to access it from a Windows PC). I tried using the menu doing this:

Places-->Connect To Server-->Service Type-->Windows Share (for the server I tried my server hostname and IP) to no avail. Does anyone know of a recent step by step tutorial for setting up a complete Ubuntu environment? Is there a simpler method I can use since I do not particularly need to use SMB protocol?

All I want to do is share my music folder from my server so I can access it (from the same LAN) on my laptop...Arrrghhh frustrating.

Server :: Apache Virtual Host Setup

Oct 29, 2009

I have 4 domains registered through godaddy. I have a dell poweredge box with one static IP hosted somewhere. I want the 4 domain to resolve to four different sites. I have already created 4 different sites in apache with four different aliases and has enabled it.

eg
alias /a /var/www/a
alias /b /var/www/b
alias /c /var/www/c

I want to acomplish.

www.a.com ==> xx.xx.xx.xx/a
www.b.com ==> xx.xx.xx.xx/b
www.c.com ==> xx.xx.xx.xx/c

I tried with godaddys forward with masking option. It works but I can't hide xx.xx.xx.xx/a in the links. Whats the best approach? One limitation is I cannot use the webhosts name servers. How do I set this up with name based virtual hosting? Do I setup a DNS server in the box?

I do have a dns host name for my box which is publicy accessible. Some my.ca.examplehost.net

CentOS 5 :: Winbind Auth With PXE Booted Diskless Clients

Apr 29, 2010

In short we are booting Centos 5.4 over PXE to a bunch of diskless clients. Once they are booted - we can login (as local root account) and RDP to windows machines using rdesktop as we require.

The next step of the project is to get user authentication to the Windows Domain controller working for the PXE image.

To do so - we continued with our physical install of Centos 5.4 (used to create the pxe image with rsync as per the wiki page for diskless clients) by following through this page. AD auth works perfect on this box (it has a local HDD install of centos obviously).

Once we rsync'd the changes over to the pxeboot location - and rebooted one of the diskless pxe clients - we get issues.

The issue is that winbind seems to start - however the file "/etc/samba/secrets.tdb" cant be read. We tried removing this file that the PXE clients use and recreating it using

touch /etc/samba/secrets.tdb

Ubuntu :: Complete Server Setup From Scratch To Host Own Website?

Jan 18, 2011

setting up a web server and somehow searched the net for the best secured and optimized combination of packages. To focus on an example, let say you wanted to put up a website that's most likely similar to myspace / friendster / facebook or other related social network with high traffic. It would be nice to have a step-by-step guide on what are the requirements and best combination of packages to use. I'm sure this would be of best interest to everyone specially those who are just starting up. As we are going to focus on a webserver to host our own website lets assume we have the initial hardware/software resources for our server such as

A Core2 Dou 2.33Ghz CPU with 4Gb memory, 80Gb HD
Ubuntu 10.10 Server 64bit.
HardwareWhat would be the advisable internet connection speed that can accommodate the type of website that we're putting up. (please consider that we are going to host this at our own home)I pressume the hardware mentioned above is more than enough but just incase, Do we need more hardware resources than the one mentioned? (considering the huge amount of photos that will be uploaded)Software What would be the best choice combination of packages for the following ?Http Server (ie. nginx, apache and etc)

Email Server (ie. postfix, courier and etc)
Email Client (ie. roundcube, squirell mail etc)
Database Server (ie. mysql, postresql and etc)

Server :: Apache 2.0 - Setup SSL Client Authentication On Only One Virtual Host

SSLVerifyClient require
SSLVerifyDepth 2
</VirtualHost>

But when I try to check for syntax errors tells me SSLRequire not allowed here I do not want to add SSLRequire on the main httpd.conf because I only want it for one virtual host. The rest of the virtual hosts do not need it.

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

I have setup a home based web server to host a photo blog for myself and my friends. I will be running wordpress and possibly a phpbb3 forum.

Here my static ip is 24.10.202.144. I registered a domain through [URL]... It appears that I have the domain working to forward to my ip. However, I am still getting this output file from apache.

I have tested the domain name across a few different computers on different ips. It works appropriately. I just want to make sure I have it set correctly on the (apache) server side of things. Then I can get more into Zone Editing etc.
