CentOS 5 Server :: Partition VPS For DirectAdmin Install?
Apr 10, 2009
I'm a new Centos 5 user (and a first-time poster to this forum) who needs to partition a 16G VPS this weekend for installation of DirectAdmin's Web Control Panel on Monday. I know there are different methods and I'm not sure which to use. I can, however, use both command line functions, which I typically do via bash shell (PuTTY) and GUI. I checked out RHEL's instructions and they're based on Disk Druid. I don't have that software and don't know where to get it. I've checked and don't have anything like cfdisk (or any of the other programs listed here--> [URL]) installed either. Here's the configuration I need to create:
[Code]....
I need command line instructions, software suggestions, good tutorials (created with a Newb who has only used Windows (I'm currently running 64-bit Vista on a desktop I built from bare metal but am quickly learning Linux using a virtual desktop with Centos 5 on KDE installed which I've largely configured myself) and any other information/advice you can provide.

I have a strange problem (at least strange to me).
I am running a 64bit CentOS 5 Server with DirectAdmin control panel. I have used the default settings when installing both DA and CentOS. I have not installed any extra firewalls or anything else (yet).
Everything is running perfectly fine. DirectAdmin has been installed and configured fine, and it all is running smoothly. Apart from 1 thing.
When trying to access the server from my office computer (and another, off-site, server), I am unable to access SSH or DA. I am sure there is no problem with my ISP, and no internal firewall blocking these ports. I am running multiple DirectAdmin servers and can access others just fine (SSH too for that matter). However, I am able to access HTTP on the server. So it seems to be JUST SSH and DA.
I am convinced the problem is that my server (the one I'm trying to connect to) has blocked access to SSH and DirectAdmin for my office and server IP. Just to be clear, these services are working from EVERY OTHER location I have tried.
I have checked for the DirectAdmin blocked IP list, and it does not exist (which means its not blocked by DA). Even if it was on the list, that should not affect SSH.

Trying to install Centos 5.2.i386 from DVD in text install (I'm assuming I need to do text install as I'm setting up raid arrays)
I have 4x150Gb raptors where I want the following layout:
/dev/sda/
/dev/sda1 100Mb (for /boot in raid 1, 4 disks)
/dev/sda2 1000Mb (for swap, raid 0, 4 disks)
/dev/sda3 4000Mb (for /, raid 5, 4 disks)
[Code].....
In the last attempt I did, sdb,sdc and sdd all had the correct ordering of partitions, but sda looked like above, which means I would need to assemble by boot array partition array as /dev/md0 = /dev/sda3, /dev/sdb1, dev/sdc1, dev/sdd1
Why is the partition numbering moving around as I create them?

I'm planning on running DirectAdmin on OpenSUSE 11.3 but I couldn't find anything about it. So my question is if anyone actually has done it before.. with good results preferably.

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.

I'm installing Centos 5.5 on a HP ProLiant DL180 Server with ~8 TB of hard disk (4 disks that have been pre-RAIDED), from an installation DVD.
Normally when I get to the partitions screen, I would select "remove all partitions etc".
But this gives me an error message "Your boot partition is on a disk using the GPT partition scheme but this machine cannot boot using GPT. This can happen if there is not enough space on your drives for the installation."
Pressed OK, tried the other three partition options but they led to the same outcome.
Tried Advanced storage configuration: Showed that there was one hard drive (c0d0) with ~ 8 TB of space.
I figured I should create a root sector, set one up with 100 MB of space, ext3, set the mount point as /.
Created a software raid of the remaining space.
Trying to go "next" gave me a similar error about GPT partition scheme. Trying various other configurations all gave similar errors about the GPT scheme.
What do I need to do? Some earlier hard format of the disk or something?

Is there any way to make a disk image of an active partition? I have to get a complete backup (partitions, MBR, all data files) of my server without bringing it down to do it. I want to have a backup that, in the event of a system failure of any sort, I can quickly restore onto a new, bare hard disk and have the system back up and running. The windows equivalent of this would be something like Drive Image XML, this is the functionality I am looking for.

I'm trying to recover a GFS2 partition on a SAN that was connected to a server that was recently kickstarted with the "clearpart -all -initlabel". Is this possible? The volumes are quite large (20TB). I'm currently in the process of using parted's rescue feature but so far that has been unsuccessful.
Here's some output from my system:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
Nothing?

I've been trying for the past week to install an icecast server on my centos 5 VPS hosted through phurix.
I've tried compiling it, installing it from RPM. but im getting nowhere. Has anybody had any luck installing it, who wouldn't mind explaining how they went about it?
I've searched google for hours on end and all I can come up with is generic cent os 4 guides that just wont work. Im not the best when in comes to linux. I do a great job of copying and pasting to a shell prompt and can use ftp etc.
if this is any use.. heres the last output from my last attempt and compiling it...
[root@vps613 icecast-2.3.2]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/icecast
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no

I have an i5 Thinkpad running Windows 7 64-bit. VT is enabled in the BIOS. I have installed vmware server v 2.0.2 but am unable to install Centos 5.5 x86_64 as a guest OS. The steps that I followed are as follows:1. Created a new VM, specifying RHEL 5 64-bit as the intended guest OS (per vmware documentation - Centos is not available as a selection2. Downloaded all 8 iso files for Centos v5.5 64-bit3. Modified the CD/DVD drive to 'connect at power' and use an iso with the path pointing to the x86_64 iso 1 of 8When I power up the VM, the console window displays 'ISOLINUX 3.11 2005-09-02 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H. Peter Anvin' and nothing else. The installation splash screen never appears. As a test, I downloaded the first of 7 iso files for the 32-bit version of Centos 5.5 and pointed the CD/DVD drive to that iso. In that case, the installation starts as expected. I would really like to get the 64-bit version installed and running.

What i want to be able to do is create a custom kickstart for my centOS 5 server. I want to create a bootable cd that I can pop in my server and basically walk away for 45 minutes and I come back and its fully installed. All the directions I have read so far tell me that I have to create a seperate ks.cfg and then I need my original centos cd to get it booted. Then the cd will ask for where the ks.cfg file is and I have to type the location. I just want to pop the CD in and type in linux_clean or something and have it perform a custom install based on the information and specification in my ks.cfg. How can I go about doing this?

somebody please tell me whether it would be all right to install xp inside CentOS using VMware or it's better to do vice versa if it is ok to install xp inside centos then at the beginning when i install centos should i allocate all hard disk to this OS and later give some to xp , or initially i should keep some space for xp and install centos in the rest ?

I would like to replace default OpenSSH version 4.3 with latest one (5.x). New version do support SFTP chroot, which is something I need.Of course, it can be compiled from source, but it is worst possible option for maintenance, since I do have few servers. Does someone provide RPMs or source RPMs at least ? If yes, what is repository/URL ?

I'm running Karmic Server with GRUB2 on a Dell XPS 420. Everything was running fine until I changed 2 BIOS settings in an attempt to make my Virtual Box guests run faster. I turned on SpeedStep and Virtualization, rebooted, and I was slapped in the face with a grub error 15. I can't, in my wildest dreams, imagine how these two settings could cause a problem for GRUB, but they have. To make matters worse, I've set my server up to use Luks encrypted LVMs on soft-RAID. From what I can gather, it seems my only hope is to reinstall GRUB. So, I've tried to follow the Live CD instructions outlined in the following article (adding the necessary steps to mount my RAID volumes and LVMs). [URL]
If I try mounting the root lvm as 'dev/vg-root' on /mnt and the boot partition as 'dev/md0' on /mnt/boot, when I try to run the command $sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/md0, I get an errors: grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea. grub-setup: error: Embedding is not possible, but this is required when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume.
Somewhere in my troubleshooting, I also tried mounting the root lvm as 'dev/mapper/vg-root'. This results in the grub-install error: $sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/md0 Invalid device 'dev/md0'
Obviously, neither case fixes the problem. I've been searching and troubleshooting for several hours this evening, and I must have my system operational by Monday morning. That means if I don't have a solution by pretty early tomorrow morning...I'm screwed. A full rebuild will by my only option.

We are currently running centos 5.2 with PHP version 5.1.6.
But we need to have PHP 5.2 or better still PHP 5.3 on our server.
How can this be done? I did a yum update and it updated everything all right but not PHP.
