Recently upgraded to Centos 5.5 and was suprised to see that the distro still is running php 5.1.6.Anyone know when Centos RH plans on upgrading php in future distros?

I'm having a problem with the time on one of my servers jumping forward into the future. We run serveral CentOS 5.4 servers running Xen, some up to date and some a little older. The one in question is running 2.6.18-164.el5xen, with xen-libs-3.0.3-94.el5_4.2 and xen-3.0.3-94.el5_4.2. On this server are several Xen virtual machines, also running CentOS 5.4 with kernel 2.6.18-164.el5xen. One in particular has problems with the clock keeping proper time.
We use NTP (ntpd) to sync time to a central server in the company. Our NTP set-up works fine, and we have problems on only a couple of servers out of many. The problem I see is that one one particular Xen virtual machine, the clock will suddenly jump forward into the future, usually by several minutes but once by more than an hour. This has obvious implications for software running on the machine. Software such as Oracle grid control agent will restart itself under the (incorrect) assumption that it has been hung for several minutes with no activity. Oracle database will cope gracefully, but applications that refer to the clock will be confused.
We detect these time jumps because we have Nagios checking the clock on each host against the centralised time server (Nagios's check_ntp plugin). Nagios will suddenly report a clock offset that is miles into the future. Following the time jump, ntpd on the host in question will re-sync the time. Ntpd keeps the time steady, ticking just a few milliseconds per second until real time catches up with the server. i.e. Nagios will report the time as being 10 minutes ahead, then a minute later the host will be 9 minutes ahead, and then a further minute later the host will be 8 minutes ahead of real time. The clock on the host stays running very slow until it eventually is correct.

I have been using Centos on a VPS for about a year and love the speed and simplicity. So, I would like to convert my home computer to Centos 5.5 Currently, the computer is running Ubuntu 10.4 x64. The drive has 3 partitions (a main partition that I would want to format and install the Centos Base), a swap partition which can be formatted and used as is and a third partition that boots to /home.
I have a few concerns: 1-If I edit the third partition in the Centos install as "boot to /home," Will everything (theoretically) work? The only applications that concern me are E-Mail (evolution) and OpenOffice. I know that Centos 5.5 uses Evolution 2.1.x and Ubuntu uses 2.2.x but just shouldn't be too much of a problem. (I can copy the mail folders from a backup to the .evolution directory.)
2-My /home partition uses ext4. Is using this on Centos 5.5 "looking for trouble"?
I read somewhere that it's good to partition to several partitions, and even better to have separate parts on different hard drives, or even to have different distros, like Ubuntu or this or that UNIX-based OS on different hard drives, to maximize the functioning quality of your server.Unfortunately I only have one HDD and one computer at the moment, and although I can add more later when I've got the $$$, right now I'd like to know the best way to set up a partitioning sequence.
In addition, I have Windows 7 currently installed, and would like to keep it here. I've partitioned my internal HDD which is 250GB to only have 50GB to Windows 7, and I have ALL my data besides relevant application data stored on either my PS3 YDL 6.2, which has a 500GB HDD, and on my 1TB external HDD.So, what is the best partitioning sequence considering 180GB of space, a 50GB Windows 7 partition, and no other hard drives connected to the server? Also what/what OS to put on the different partitions?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10's GRUB. Now i wish to exchange it with CentOS-5.4's GRUB I didn't install GRUB during CentOS installation. Searched through Google and CentOS wiki find all about rescuing GRUB.

Is i possible to upgrade from a point release, like 5.3, to another point release, like 5.4, using yum ? Or, even if it is possible, is it better to just do an install of 5.4 and choose the upgrade option on top of my 5.3 installation ?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from centos 5.2 to 5.3 ( using yum) two desktop computers with a similar configuration (different hardware but similar software configuration). In both cases I saw that yum-updatesd has stopped working. The daemon start at boot and remain silent for a while (an hour or more, without signaling the presence of any update package) then suddenly the process dies without any messages in the log. Using lsof i saw that the daemon open a lot of file and library, but it newer try to connect to any repository.Now i have just launched it in foreground and debug mode (yum-updatesd -f -d) and i'm waiting for some useful debug messages.. Has someone had a similar experience ? What else can i try ?

I installed Oracle Database on this server few months ago. I see in /etc/yum.repos.d directory a public-yum-el5.repo file with entries pointing to Oracle which must have come from that installation. Now how do I proceed from here?
Due to all the "fun" I had upgrading spamassassin from 3.2.5 to 3.3.1 on C55 I thought I would detail it here so as to possibly save others from all the frustration I have endured. There are probably a zillion different ways to make this work but this is how I did it and it seems to work well.
1) Acquire spamassassin rpm.
I downloaded several different versions from various sites and had problems with all of them so I ended up grabbing the SRPM from Fedora 13 spamassassin-3.3.1-2.fc13.src.rpm. This of course will not load onto C55 as rpmbuild has changed so I loaded it onto a FC13 box and then TARed the SPEC & SOURCES directories, copied them onto a C55 and built SRPM from there.
2) Install on C55
The new spamassassin requires several updated packages to make it happy.
a) perl-Mail-DKIM greater than 0.31. I cheated and used this one from FC8 perl-Mail-DKIM-0.32-3.fc8.noarch.rpm
b) perl-socket6 that is 2.0 or later. I got this one from DAG perl-Socket6-0.20-1.rf.x86_64.rpm
c) perl-NetAddr-IP that is 4.0 or later. Again DAG saved the day perl-NetAddr-IP-4.007-1.rf.x86_64.rpm
d) the spamassassin of course :)
Actually I built them from the SRPMs as I needed both the 32 and 64 bit packages for various servers.
3) Run sa-update --D to get the latest rules then restart the spamassassin service. For those who do not have access to a FC13 box you can get a copy of the SRPM I made here [URL].

However im now in the process of making a PCI-DSS compliant server LAMP server. I've just had the vulnerability scan report back and its failed due to the OpenSSL having vulnerabilities and it tells me I must upgraded to version higher 1.0.0d.

I have 2.6.18-164.2.1.e15 running on Hyper-v. I did yum update and noticed that kernel is upgraded to 2.6.18-164.9.1.e15. If I try to boot into the new kernel it hangs with message first "switchroot mount failed" and then "kernel panic". This is probably related to Hyper-v drivers installed in the old kernel. First question: Do you think this is correct? Is it possible to somehow disable Hyper-v drivers so I can boot into the new kernel and then reinstall drivers? There is nothing in Microsoft documentation about uninstalling Linux Integration Components.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a CentOS 5 based Linux system with a 3Ware 9550SU RAID card and four 500GB drives set up in a RAID5 array (3 in the array and 1 hot spare).
I want to 'replace' these drives with four 2TB drives without data loss. My server case has a total of 8 drive bays all hot-swap and all attached to the RAID card, this means I have four empty drive bays on the RAID card.
One thought is to put the four new 2TB drives in the empty drive bays, configure them in a new RAID5 array. Then the question is now to I "mirror" the original RAID5 array over to the new one?
This is just a thought though, I am not sure it will work. In short my question to this forum is how do I accomplish this upgrade?.
I am trying to create a workflow for upgrading various systems using kickstart. I was hoping folks can point me in the right direction.I have a system which already has Centos installed on it. However it is a stripped down version of Centos using a custom kickstart installer. Now I would like to upgrade these systems, using an updated kickstart file spec. I would like to be able to copy over required files into a partition on the system, make a change in the grub.conf, reboot the system and expect the system to use the kickstart file and the iso file located on a partition on the system to self upgrade the entire system.The partition which holds the iso on these systems may be raided, or it may be an LVM partition.
How do I specify in the kickstart file that the location of the iso is on an LVM partition? Is this even supported? I have tried specifiying the disk like so:
< -- isolinux/ks/harddrive.cfg -- >
upgrade
text
harddrive --partition=mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02 --dir=/isolinux

But the installer did not seem to like it. Instead of the iso, can I put the entire tree instead? Would that work?
I'm currently upgrading my clients' CentOS 5 installation to use httpd-2.2.14 as we need it for the server to past some of the Hardware checks used in the PCI [Payment Card Industry] security test.
