I just installed CentOS 5 last night. Former Debian user.I was having problems with commands like ifconfig and visudo. So naturally I ran locate and noticed that they where in /usr/sbin. Then echo $PATH and noticed /usr/sbin was not there.Should I add it to my $PATH?
View 3 RepliesI have installed CentOS 5.5 x86-64 on my HP 6710b laptop and currently am in the middle of adjusting it to my needs (software/hardware development). As stated in the subject I can't add /sbin to $PATH. I have tried editing .bash_profile in my home directory and adding /sbin to PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin, but it does not help. It's not a big problem, al though it would be much easier to use some commands (ifconfig for example) globaly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running a server with CentOS 5 where the software that needs to run on the server uses ifconfig to verify the system IPv4.The problem is that /sbin isn't set for the user that is supposed to run the software (sadmin) which means the software can't execute ifconfig and thus terminates.now the workaround I've been using is simply to input.

View 4 Replies View RelatedLet's get clear with all bin and sbin folders(from filesystem hierarchy standard):
So the question is: Why there are so many directories and what are the meanings of /usr/sbin, /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin?
Many programs are distributed through archives and we have to build them from source code. Usually they have makefile so it's quite easy. This process involves creating files in usr/local/lib, usr/local/bin... usr/local/whatever without creating specific folders for a given program.
I think it's not right because if we need to remove the program we have to manually delete every of its files if the program's creator didn't take care of it.
I found the following function in /etc/profile file.

1. I dont undestand what "if ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -qE "(^|:)$1($|:)"" this if statement actually comapres??
2. Also what is the difference between PATH=$PATH:$1 & PATH=$1:$PATH
I am unable to run perl-cgi script in my cent os Apache server. I have used locate perl command in terminal window and it gives following result:

I didn't find this question in the FAQ or through the Search button.I added a server application and would like to update the PATH env't variable so that I don't have to type the full path for its binaries. I'd like to make sure I do it right: Do I just need to edit /etc/profile or is there another file somewhere in CentOS that I should use instead?
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor example, what I have now as a root user on CentOS 5.5:
# setsebool
bash: setsebool: command not found
I need to enter /usr/sbin/setsebool to get it working
The same is with some other commands:
# service httpd restart
bash: service: command not found
And so on. I know, that I need to add path somewhere, as I did it before on FreeBSD. But I don't know where?
I want to set up an installation server for CentOS 5.5, using PXE for boot, kickstart for package selection (one for server), and NFS for share all files needed.I've succesfully completed a fresh installation of CentOS5 from the DVD for one of my servers (virgil), and I've copied the anaconda-ks.cfg generated by the installer to my install server (beatrix).
Next, I've properly configured the /etc/dhcpd.conf , the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<IP_CODED> and the /etc/exports for NFS sharing on beatrix.Then, I've copied all the first DVD of CentOS5 content in this folder on beatrix: /opt/CentOS_install I've tried to start virgil from ethernet, and all has gone ok, with the kickstart and so on! But I've decided to apply the updates (new kernel, sudo, xorg, ...), so I've deleted the old rpms from /opt/CentOS_install/CentOS and copied the new ones (downloaded from http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/). So, I've launched the following commands to recreate the repodata:
root@beatrix:/opt/CentOS_install/ # mv repodata/comps.xml CentOS/
root@beatrix:/opt/CentOS_install/ # rm -fr repodata
root@beatrix:/opt/CentOS_install/ # createrepo -p -o /opt/CentOS_install/ -g comps.xml /opt/CentOS_install/CentOS
But when I try to reinstall virgil, an error message appears, telling me that a package (perl-DBI-...) isn't present in the media.After some debugging, I've noticed that in the /opt/CentOS_install/repodata/primary.xml.gz there isn't the correct path for the rpms. If you look at the original primary.xml, the "path" is like:path="CentOS/abcxyz.rpm" while in the generated file (with createrepo) the path is:
path="abcxyz.rpm".How can I recreate the repodata with the correct path information?
Per the man page, to remove a watch, do the following: -W path.Remove a watch for the file system object at path.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem installing CentOS 5.5 over lan. I set up a dhcp3 server and it works, client got an ip. I set up a tftpd-hpa server and it works, client can boot the install image of CentOS 5.5 I set up an apache server and it seems to be impossible... In the installation marathon I clicked through the menu to the choice of the web server where my installation files are available. I enter the ip 192.168.138.1 and the path CentOS-5.5 and CentOS tells me "Unable to retrieve http://192.168.138.1//CentOS-5.5/images/stage2.img" . Thats right because the two slashes are not right. Where the hell come the two slashes from???
I edited my httpd.conf like this:
<Directory /tftpboot/CentOS-5.5>
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

I use this command:
Code:
find ./ -atime +360
to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:
Code:
/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path
Code:
/old-files/uploads/2010/02/
If it doesn't exist.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a server (RHEL 5.5, 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5) connected to two SANs by multiple paths. But the server's only seeing one path at a time. The only exceptions are the controllers from my HP EVA SAN, as you can see below (which indicates correct zoning). Sometimes when I reboot the server, everything will switch to the other path, but it has never (that I know of) switched while the server is up and running.
[root@cobra ~]# lsscsi

I have triple-checked the zoning and masking/presentation, and everything looks correct. I'm working this through a paid support contract, too, but they're proving useless.
I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?
Experimenting with shell variables, accidentally deleted the path variable how could I return to the original path value. What kinds of problems will I have if I don't have a path variable.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just set up an internal mail server for my office using Postfix, Dovecot and Squirrelmail. It works great except for one tiny problem. When I send mail, I address it to user@myoffice (no .com, .net, etc) and it works perfectly. However, somewhere in my work, I screwed up and for whatever dumb reason put myoffice.net somewhere in there and now the return-path always shows up as user@myoffice.net instead of just user@myoffice. Does anyone know how to fix the return-path so that when someone clicks reply it goes to user@myoffice? I've Googled and searched here without finding my answer, apologies if it's out there and I've just failed to see it. Rest assured I have done a couple hours of searching before finally asking for help.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am failing to set PATH for all the users on a linux box(Fedora 8), permanently. Basically, I have installed two different versions of python(2.5 & 2.7) Python2.5 path is /usr/bin and it is set by default for all users(not by me, also i don't know how ) and it is working fine.
Python2.7 path is /usr/bin/Python27/bin, so tried this:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/Python27/bin
And it worked only for that particular session and for only root, as I set path from root user. So, i need this to be set for all the users on the linux box, including root, more importantly as permanent. So if any user types "python27" at the command prompt, it should give python2.7 prompt.
We have too many audio Paths, for each user have one. We would like to create a unique folder to Read in network.
For example:
The idea is Mapping all folders to the path /pub/Music in server, so all user can access all music online in the server.
Very Well. How we can do it?
And when pc1 and pc2 have the same subfolder, like Beatles, and in the subfolder have different folders ( PC1-Beatles/Revolver ) (PC2-Beatles/Habbey_Road) or The same folder (PC1-Beatles/The_Mistery_Magic_Tour) (PC3-Beatles/The_Mistery_Magic_Tour)...
Is there a way to contemplate this issue?
