Re: [CentOS] how to check the version of centos
Thanks DNK, u r absolutely right the cat /etc/redhat-release does not reflect the version correctly but the rpm -q centos-release does it perfectly thnksss n really apprecite cheers regards simon I seem to remember reading a release note somewhere that the way centos 5 worked now was that the /etc/redhat-releases would not reflect properly (man I wish I could find the reference to that). And that you needed to do something like: rpm -qa centos-release For example on one of my systems, I do: cat /etc/redhat-release I get: CentOS release 5 (Final) But I know for sure that this system is a 5.1 So When i run the: rpm -qa centos-release I get: centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 Which seems more accurate.

Thanks Les, that was very helpful (and I should have thought of it...). But then it gets weird again: I commented out the /dev/md1 line and the system came all the way up to the login prompt. Great! I thought. Enter the root password and... kingkong login: root Password: xx Last login: Tue Dec 3 13:58:11 2002 /bin/bash: Permission denied doh! well of course I have done nothing special to the permissions there or anywhere else. I can see all the console boot messages and they all look normal. Booted into single user mode, and that works. /bin/bash has normal perms and all seems well. What's more, I was able to mount /dev/md1 on /home and it didn't complain. Then I un-commented the line in fstab, rebooted and it worked all the way up to the login prompt, it now uses all 3 md devices happily. But then, Permission denied is all I get. Nice system but it makes it hard to maintain when even root can't log in. Could there be some disk error? I have never had so much bizarre behavior from one system. Ready to chuck it out the window. Is there anything else I can try to see what's up? Is SELinux enabled? There's some black magic command to make it rebuild its labels when it is not happy. That would be touch ./autolable. -- ~/john OpenPGP Sig:BA91F079 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

However, I believe these servers also run smtp, pop3, imap,etc, so I don't think Apache can handle all of those.. LVS handles all protocols. It can do any port and UDP or TCP. It supports different types of balancing Round Robin (rr), Weighted Round Robin (wrr), Least Connections (lc), Weighted Least Connections (wlc). It can do sticky sessions, so if OWA doesn't like when you go from server 1 to server 2, LVS will keep the user stuck to one server. Plus a ton of other features.

Correct .. you should use xfs on the x86_64 kernel if at all possible. The i386 kernel does as have some things from SGI / SUSE to mitigate the 4kstack issues ... however they are not completely fixed (nor will they ever be on 4k stacks). That said, many people are using xfs on the CentOS i386 kernels and they seem to be working stably for the most part.

Re: [CentOS] using conf.d files to override options in httpd.conf
Johnny Tan wrote: Like many of you, I like to avoid modifying /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf as much as possible. Instead, modifying or adding files in /etc/httpd/conf.d However, because /var/www/html is declared within the main httpd.conf and certain directives are set along with AllowOverride None (thus forbidding use of .htaccess), it seems like the only way to override any of these options is to modify httpd.conf directly. If nothing else, at least setting AllowOverride to something besides None. I don't think there is anything to prevent .htaccess in the default config. That said, I couldn't find a satisfactory way to avoid editing httpd.conf. Is that correct? Or does anyone know of a way to leave httpd.conf pristine, yet still override or set directives for /var/www/html? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
