Hi there, I cannot provide any technical details because I have been out of the game too long. I have previously also tried Centos 6.5 and gave up on it...
I must say that Julien helped a lot but also had difficulties with Centos. Only thing that I can recommend is to follow the flavours of Linux that the Openchange development teams use instead of Centos. Good luck.
