Red Hat :: How To Setup Server With V3 Kernel Required
May 12, 2010
I have a unique setup on my hands..-local (LAN) dev system built on a via epia m6000 (uses the older via eden-samuel cpu). Latest kernels will not boot due to cpu issue.I'm running CentOS v3.9 for kernel compatibility and have managed to get my basic LAMP setup accomplished via yum but I'd like to run the curnet versions of everything while keeping the older kernel if possible.I'm considering setting up my yum repos to include v4 or v5 and use the yum --exclude kernel option.
I have a government website hosted in third party hosting. but now they want to setup their own Ubuntu server. Now my Question is -
1. What hardware do I need? like - A) SERVER B) KVM Switch etc etc.. really i don't know how many hardware need to setup a server. Please provide me a list.
2. Does the standard Ubuntu Server installation DVD contains all the required software for Linux web hosting ?
The hardware part is very important. What's more hardware need to set up a server.
I am trying to set up a SSH key between servers so no password is required when I have to "scp" files between the two. This is what I have tried so far but still requires a password:
When I scp after this I wasn't expecting to need a password but it is still prompting. Now I have used this same method before and it has worked great. The only difference this time is server2 is not in the same cage.
My problem is that I can't setup a diskless environment with CentOS 5.4 (server) and CentOS 3.9 (hosts). On the host, I've recompiled the CentOS 3.9 kernel, with these mods: - added kernel level IP autoconfiguration; - added NFS file system support; - added Root file system on NFS; - added e1000 driver (the host has a gigabit network card);
Then, I have followed the guide at this link: [URL] But in my dhcpd.conf I'he put other parameters: ddns-update-style interim; allow bootp; allow booting;
I am trying to use the sakis3G, i choose the option connect 3G, it asks me about username required by APN?? I have no usernames, and I don't know what APN is? I prefer using the sakis3G since it looks simpler than using USB_ModeSwitch which I didn't manage to understand it from the sites you posted.
Im trying to find out What all network hardware is required for a successfull Iscsi setup. Example Do you need two network cards that support it. Or do you just need one network Iscsi adapter for the storage box, and the other machine just have a normal NIC. What type of Switch would be needed as well for decent transfer rates.
I am fairly new to ubuntu server, I want to setup a tftp server to mount a new kernel in a DaVinci platform. I was following the guide in this page [URL]..docs/linux_tftp, but accidentally I remove the xinetd.conf file. So I think that maybe removing and reinstalling xinetd the problem will be solved, but instead of that I can't completely remove xinetd and the follow message is print in the terminal
Removing xinetd ... invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/xinetd not found. dpkg: error processing xinetd (--remove): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 100 invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/xinetd not found. dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 100 Errors were encountered while processing: xinetd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
with that problem I can't start the service or stop it, I am blocked in the configuration of tftp server.
I only have basic experience recompiling a Linux kernel, and I have a question about adding dynamic modules.In case I want to add a brand new module, do I need to recompile the kernel to include a reference to that new module, or is simply compiling a kernel with generic support of dynamic modules all it takes to add whatever modules I need later on, without recompiling the kernel and rebooting the host?
Right now i have a HP DL 180 Server with 130 Gb Hard Disk & 8 Gb ram after Raiding0+1. i want to configure Domain Controller Server for my office for 200 to 300 Users. what should the partition size must be mentioned in my 130 Gb Hard Disk, is that going to be Sufficient for ME ?
i am bit confused about /Usr /Var /Boot partitions, as i need to manage perfectly in 130 GB
if i go with 4 Gb swap and remaining for " / " is that will be fine ? should i need to specify partition sizes separately for / tmp /var / usr ..
I am trying to dual boot here (Debian and Windows 7).I am trying to setup server here (trying my hands on first time.)I am getting the following error on the screen when i select to boot from Debian (windows boots up normally when selected in grub) I have attached the image,it states:-Radeon kernel modesetting for r600 or later requires firmware-linux-nonfree
I am working on a NFS server embedded on a PowerPC plateform (4650EX, 512Ram, 1 GB Ethernet) but i can't mount my exports folders from my client. Here are messages :
When do you know when to re-boot your server? I have Centos 5.6 As my remote web server running Direct Admin. I have also Centos 5.6 as a local back up server. With a KDE user interface so i can learn the graphical and command line. How ever when i query Yum for updates locally, i can see a nice extra icon next to the updates in KDE saying will require a reboot. But on my remote web server, how would i know if a Reboot would be required?
We are trying to set up a NIS server on a CentOS system. We need to have a NIS server which can provide NIS authentication to a couple of clients. We are practically new to all this stuff.
Just googled to find some ideas about installing ypserv and ypbind and portmapper. We did all that and also started them successfully. But now the clients are not able to join to the NIS domain . The error log states "YP_DOMAIN NOT BOUND".
I guess we have not entered the /etc/yp.conf, /etc/hosts files properly. Please let us know the detailed steps to setup a NIS server .
Also, please let us know what entries should go into the different /etc/<file_names>? What is meant by HOSTNAME in the /etc/hosts file?
Is there any other files which need to be changed? Are we missing any steps?
Also to add-on, while executing the ypinit command we faced the following error:
At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS servers. localhost.localdomain is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please cont inue to add the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the list, type a <control D>. next host to add: localhost.localdomain next host to add:
I have many documents that indicate many different min requirements for drive memory. Will someone give me an idea for the following...Ubuntu 10.10 server running SSH and Samba what would be the memory requirements, recommended as opposed to min, for partitions as follows: / -- root /home -- as a separate partition /boot -- as a separate partition (do I really need a separate boot) swap my RAM is 768mg so 1 gig should be good
I'm update Python , but founde problem root@server [~]# yum update There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named yum
Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Jun 7 2011, 12:25:26) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: [URL]...
My company support a client with an old Redhead server " Linux version 2.6.9-5.ELsmp [URL] (gcc version 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005" My IT department wants to move this old server to a VMware machine and I'm trying to check if this project can fly. Me my self never worked on an old Linux server there for my first question is can I upgrade the kernel with the command yum -y install kernel..... and when I'm done I'm still going to have the old kernel just in case?
I want to setup a FAI server for which I was looking for the best method of mirroring the Debian Lenny. I want to setup a local mirror with the best method available for mirroring. If it is ftpsync, please provide me some best ways of doing it. I tried ftpsync mirroring but that was not getting properly working due to insufficient I want this mirror to be accessible in my FAI setup so that I can start the installation on multiple machines and start the updates and package installation to be done from the same local mirror.

I want to access suse pc from redhat remotely. i need a remote access tool so that i could access my branch Suse operating system pc through Internet. i am getting teamviewer for linux, it is installed properly but not executing.
I have a problem with vsftpd (latest version available, 2.1.0pre3) SSL. I've configured it to a nonstandard port, 65440, disabled connect_from_port_20 and run it as a normal user, from home directory. I can't use the SSL feature, every time I connect, it only reaches the login process. After logging in, I get the following error (when data transfer would start for LIST command):
522 SSL connection failed; session reuse required My vsftpd.conf looks like this
# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home # directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of # users to NOT chroot(). # chroot_list_enable=YES # (default follows) # chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
I've been having issues with my ubuntu server (10.04 LTS) lately. Every once in a while, anywhere from 3 days to a month or more, the server will just disappear from the network. All manner of trying to reach it from the outside fails, even from the LAN. Since it's headless, this is kind of problematic. After a hard power down or reboot, the server will always come back online, but this is very annoying for a remotely administered server.
What should I look for when trying to determine why the server keeps going offline? I can't tell if there are any other issues like a hard lockup or anything, just that it is not on the network anymore when this happens.
In red hat linux server 6. I start up virtual manager and I get below error prompt. Package required for KVM usage The following packages are not installed qemu-kvm These are required to create KVM guests locally. Would you like to install them now. I press yes but the package cannot located ... So, I have install the qemu-kvn-0.12.1.2.113.el6_0.8.src.rpm already. I use command rpm -ivh XXX.rpm to install.
I want to connect to a vpn server and I'm using debian 5.
I installed Kvpnc package but when I try to make a new profile I choose "Microsoft pptp" as vpn type and I receive the following message: the required daemons (pppd and pptpd) aren't availabale
Is there anyway to download required daemons in another computer and use them in my computer (I'm worried about dependencies)?
I am in the process of creating a kickstart configuration file for some RedHat 5.5 and Centos 5.5 servers (Production and test respectively).I have googled about a bit but I cannot find a good list of the bare minimum packages required for a command-line system.If anyone knows how I can trim this list down anymore it would be much appreciated. The aim of this kickstart.cfg is to get the system booted to a bare minimum required to install Chef (Server management software). Chef will then setup Apache, Ruby on rails environment etc.
All this server will need to do is, from a static IP, Host a Ruby on rails app, send emails, send data to a server on the web, accept ssh and occasionally and connect to a SMB/CIFS share This list was taken from the anaconda-ks.cfg file after a RedHat install of what I thought was a pretty minimal system onto a VM but I noticed that cups, the avahi daemonsand gam_server are installed and running which I do not believe are needed for a pure web server.I know that these types of questions are hard to answer without a complete knowledge of the operating environment and what "minimum" is in this case ("@core only? but I wanted yum damnit!")
I just recently installed SUSE onto my computer because I'm sick of Windows crashing frequently.
Now I'm trying to setup my hardware, seems like everything is fine except for my graphics card.
I have an NVIDIA Quadro FX 540, and I'd downloaded the suitable driver from their site.
However, upon installation, I received some kind of error that mentioned it can't find my kernel.h or something like that. Someone said I would need the kernel source to proceed.
What is the best way for me to set this up?
Here is my system info when uname -a is ran: Linux namid 2.6.27.7-9-default #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 x86_64 x86_64x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have a load balancer with 2 web servers behind it. The web servers rsync with cloud storage to update their apache directories 1 time every hour. Apache is just running php pages that pull/push data to a DB so they dont need to be updated that often. However I need to figure out how to implement a Master/Master MySQL setup to have my web servers point to for the PHP stuff. I need to implement it without having a single point of failure. The Load balancers are useless for failover as they only detect availability based on Ping request. So putting a master/master setup behind a Load Balancer is out. what is the best way to setup the master/master mysql in a HA setup without the use of a load balancer provided by the host?
