I have a remote CentOS server (5.4 Final) to which I need to add remote access to a GUI front end. I have SSH access to this box (no physical access, I rent it and it is housed in a DC) and I think I have managed to install Gnome correctly:

Can I do a fresh install of CentOS Linux on a remote machine? I have a machine with Windows NT in a remote location. Now I want to use that system as my deployment machine. To proceed with my plan I need to install a Linux OS (have chosen CentOS). The guy there with the machine is not very knowledgeable of the installation process of any OS. So I thought I could install CentOS remotely.how I can achieve this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am going to install an FTP server on a headless server running ubuntu. The thing is that I want to be able to manage it completely via a web interface or a remote gui from any other system. The idea is that the manager of the accounts of the ftp could do his tasks without having to ssh into the server or anything (since he will completely ignore its a linux system and he does not need to know how to use it or log in or whatever). Is there any way to manage an ftp server like this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn order to get multiple monitor/display support which is not available in the version of gnome available with centos repos, I decided to try KDE. I tried just adding it with yum without removing gnome. Now I don't seem to get a display after "starting udev (OK)" message during boot. As a newbie I don't know how to go about backing out of this update. is ther some way to boot to a console? Then what would I do - yum uninstall kde? And I suppose I also need advice on what I should be doing to get kde going to support my two monitors.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently in the last steps of migrating a CentOS mailserver to the x64 version.However, under the old 32 bit version, I was using XRDP to access the Centos box from my Windows boxes.However I can't seem to find the XRDP package in the standard repos so this is prompting me to look at possible alternatives (XRDP was incompatible with my windows 7 box anyway soI had to RDP to another server of ours running 2003 to RDP into the mailserver which was far from ideal).Basically, I'd like to be able to seamlessly access the Centos box with a standard RDP client.
I know VNC Server/Clients would be an option but RDP gives me the freedom of any windows box being able to access the server on the same adress/port without installing software on any windows box I encounter.Are there any viable alternatives to XRDP ?There's no "add-on" to VNC server that could enable it to accept RDP connections ?

I'm an OS X user that's just acquired a CentOS 5.2 server. The server contains a basic installation of CentOS 5.2 with OpenSSH already installed, which I use to connect to the server using OS X terminal. I have no physical access to the machine and if I somehow cripple OpenSSH I will need to pay a technician to fix the problem for me. So I'd like to get the instructions straight before I go in and mess around with the system.
I want to install a package that will allow me to add additional users so that they can upload files but not mess around with the system configuration. From searching on google rssh seems to be a viable path. So I'd like to go with that unless there's a better option.
I came across these tutorials: SFTP Setup for CentOS 4.5-5.x and How to: Restrict Users to SFTP and Block SSH Shell Access with rssh. But I haven't followed the instructions in either yet. I'm unsure if I'll be able to execute all of the steps remotely without compromising my root account's SSH access.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe word on all lips are "virtualization" so I decided to smell this flavor.
I have a machine running CentOS 5.3 64bit and I have unlimited access to this machine, but I don't want to reach it physically.
Is it possible to install and maintain a virtual medium using ssh or other remote connection?
When I installed the OS I have selected the packets regarding the virtualization, but now from where can I start?
Is somewhere a guide for doing this?
I have built a Centos 5.3 server for a friend of mine that is being used as a NAS server. The server has 4 1TB drives in a RAID 5 configuration and a dedicated non raid system drive for the OS. My friend isnt very Linux literate so I need this bow to be relatively simple. I have worked most of it out but have a question with regards to remote reboot.
I need to be able to shut this device down through the power switch without human intervention (at the moment when the power switch is pushed the server asks to confirm shutdown) the server wont have a Monitor connected so this isn't practical. Is it possible to use the power switch to do an clean, immediate shutdown?
The other option is shutdown through a web page is this something that has been done before? I know he can do it through terminal by issuing a shutdown now command but as I said this guy wants something simple. I don't really want to explain everytime he needs to shut the Server down how to do it if he can just do it via a website or even with the power button.
I am working on a project where I need to connect to a remote MS SQL Server database with PHP from a CentOS 5.5 server. I was able to get it installed and working on my Mac OS X 10.6 laptop with unixODBC and FreeTDS. However, I am unable to get it configured on my CentOS server. unixODBC and FreeTDS were installed, but when I try to connect, I get the following error message:
Connection Failed:[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so.0' : /usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
From what I could find by scouring the internets,it appears that I have 32 bit unixODBC (or FreeTDS, I'm not sure) installed (libtdsodbc.so.0 is symlinked to libtdsodbc.so.0.0.0) and it needs to be 64 bit. However, when I try to install the 64 bit version with
yum install freetds.x86_64
I get a message that it is already installed.Is there something else I need to do to get around this error? I'm a developer and not a server, so I'm not sure where else to go.
