CentOS 5 Server :: Make A Choice For A Server With CentOS?
Nov 12, 2010
I wish a easy server with CentOS. I need only: ssh, ftp for backup , sftp for over the web, apache2 php5 mysql webserver, easy install printserver for a laserprinter with a com-port, and in the future a samba server. make a choice which version i need with CentOS. I am a beginner at all.I only know things about ubuntu server. I like to know the differences.
Im running cent os 5.5 64 bit. I simply want to type in a url (In my browser) on my windows desktop, that downloads a zipped folder from my cent os server.
Because I had some difficulties to make awstats running (I'm not an expert!), I would share my experience with a MINI STEP BY STEP GUIDE. I would like also to discuss some details with experts thus at the end of the guide ,I'll make some questions to them:
I have installed a new server Centos 5.5 32 bit and configured 3 virtual hosts; at the end of /etc/httpd/conf/http.conf I have:
I have CentOS 5.6 on a VPS and naturally have root access.But I tried everything to make JSP run on it, I installed (I think it did) Tomcat, and nothing happens and I am at a lost.
I have a problem with compiling of mod_ruby-1.3.0 After a succesfull configure i get a error in the make, it say "make: *** [apachelib.o] error 1" . Here below you can find the results of de configuring and the make.I was following the roles in Howtoforge " The perfect server - Centos 5.3" everything goes perfect till mod_ruby-1.3.0
./configure.rb --with-apr-includes=/usr/include/apr-1 checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether we are using gcc... yes
I need to make a custom ks.cfg DVD for my centOS 5 install. I figured I would download the 5.4.iso. My question is will packages from previous version of centOS 5.0-5-3 work with my 5.4 centOS image?
I have been searching in the forum and google but still not lucky enough to figure out yetI have a lighttpd server runningbecause apache consume so much CPU and memory) andqmailtoaster (just setup).Here is the configuration in cgi modules:
I have a USB drive of 4 GB and I want to make the drive as bootable. I used the command /sbin/mkbootdisk --device /dev/sdb1 "kernal version" ( sdb1 is my pen drive).When i ran this cmd,it gave me an error saying not enough space to write.
I have moved a site from a caps-insensitve server (OS X, Apache 1.3) to a default CentOS/Apache 2.2 install and run into problems.Actions:1) Made sure that mod_speling.so is loaded: LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so) Added CheckSpelling directive to Section 2: 'Main Server configuration'CheckSpelling on) Restart httpd
I am having a lil headache with it. Some time ego i edited my /etc/bashrc file to add some aliases and colours for my ssh console. Today i had a need to change few thing but for some reason i can't edit or delete this file any more.
I am logged as root.
rm bashrc cannot remove, operation not permitted
chown and/or chmod fails as well with "not permitted" errors.
ls -Al | grep bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2514 mar 31 13:05 bashrc
I'm trying to make a DHCP server work on my CentOS 5.4 box, but I have placed it on another subnet than the one that it is going to serve. I use a helper address on my router to make the the DHCP requests being routed to the DHCP server on the other subnet.
I'm trying to execute script (java,php) on startup....before this we set it in /etc/inittab and it works find, but lately i found that the php script not startup as usual after we do yum update( although java script still run normally). code...
Another thing i want to ask is, if i have more scripts to run at startup, what should i do becoz there is limited terminal that i can use. Someone told me that i can:
1)-put the script in /etc/init.d such that i can add it with chkconfig and run as service (not sure how to do this in details also)
2)-add a script in /etc/rc.local (not sure how?write what script)
We are running our website on a VPS Centos 5.6 box, and I am trying to set it up as an NFS client to a remote NAS server box. The script (remote_mount) I'm using (copied inline below) works fine when I run it on another Linux server box running Slackware, but when I run the same script on the Centos box I get the following error message. code...
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 have CentOS 5.5 x86_64 with Apache, php and mysql. I have just installed OTRS (helpdesk - trouble ticket system) on that server and no users. This system works with perl, apache and mysql. I notice that is slow to respond and at times unresponsive the apache welcome page. code...
I have installed centOS Server edition on my laptop and installed apache and mysql on server, i wanted to understand how can i make my server on line and host my website on my own server. I am using MTNL Broad band, and i have one static ip, How to make web server in centOS 5.5.
I am running a quad core centos 5.4 box that is having a strange problem with dovecot. The administration panel is able to send emails through dovecot but not any of the user accounts (ie with webmail). I've done a bit of research with what could be wrong but haven't had any luck so far I am also having a weird problem with apache: on a c++/php bittorrent application I was going to be running on a subdomain of my main site I get a 500 error every time I try to log in. The only way to get rid of the 500 error is to clear the chache (so its horribly broken somehow). The error generated in the log whenever I try to log in is that "ffmpeg is already loaded" (which I am running on the main site and is critical). Is there a way of either repairing my apache install or excluding ffmpeg on the subdomain in the conf or something?
During the install of my Centos server 5.3 i cam in trouble after setting the Static IP address, Gateway and DNS i cannot connect to the internet my own network is visable. When i start ifconfig my network is running.
i have been trying to complete the following project1) Configure a FTP server where we can upload and download files.........2) server must run at 9 pm & stop at 9 am automatically ............although the first task was easy ,i have no idea how to accomplish the 2nd task(not to mention I'm a new user)
I'm trying to setup RAID 1 on a CentOS 5 server for a zimbra email server.I get a partion schema error. Can I do this?The server is a HP Proliant ML150 G3 server with two 80GB HDD.
I built a home server (NAS/WWW/SSH/media server etc) and chose CentOS 5 as the OS (stability, easy of configuration).I was just about to start tuning the power consumption when I realised that the kernel CentOS uses is so "old" that it does not support the latest reduced power consumption enhancements that Linux has achieved in big strides in the recent past (we are probably still talking 6-12+ months ago e.g. tickless kernel)..
So my questions; 1) I know CentOS was maybe not meant for home servers (certainly its not its primary purpose), but if it is, any ideas of what kind of power consumption it takes (I know its relative) and if there are particular power consumptions that are worthwhile?
2) Do you recommend me compiling my own 2.6.21+ kernel from kernel.org or am I just likely to have compatibility issues (I really did not want to do that) or when is CentOS 5.4 supposed to have a newer 2.6.21+ version kernel?
Was it wrong of me in principle to choose CentOS for a home server when I am power conscious? (I don't have a low-power VIA processor either but a P4 so I am really just hoping to make do with software changes).
I have a few mail servers, a mail log server and a web server running on Centos 5. Now I have a task: to avoid accidental crashes on the production servers while installing updates, my boss asked me to do clones (these clones will all be VMware virtual machines) of the servers (EXCLUDING the actual e-mails and log contents) and then to run those clones on VMWare Server. This way, first I will install and test updates on the clones and - if they will be running without crashes - I will apply the updates on the real production servers themselves.
I have already installed VMWare Server 2.0 I have a few questions: How do I build the virtual machines to exclude the actual mail files and mail logs? Can I use VMware Converter for this purpose, or do I have to use another program? How do I actually do this cloning? Is there a tutorial on how to do this?
If I ssh from my laptop (running F10) to the server (centos 5.2) it asks for the password, but everytime I enter the correct password it says incorrect password. when I do the same from the server to my laptop I can get in just fine. I think my passwords are stored as ssha in the LDAP (I tried clear passwords and that dosen't work either).
I have tried to install debian 5.0 and 4.0 without any luck. I have both tried virt-manager and virt-install with both debian-501-i386-netinst.iso, and full dvd. I't always gives me the same error:Starting install.Could not find an installable distribution at '/xen/debian-501-i386-netinst.iso'
I've installed CentOS 5.3 on a machine, and I need a Samba version 3.2 or higher. Since 3.4 is out, I thought I'd grab that. But, "yum list|grep samba" gives me only version 3.0.33. Is there a package of Samba I can grab that will upgrade the 3.0 installation so that I don't have two laying around? If not and I need to compile from source, do you have any suggestions for what arguments I should give configure? I'm not used to Linux coming from the BSD world
