[CentOS] OT: really dumb question about APC UPS
We have about 4 servers connected to an APC UPS. The UPS only has one UPS connection. So my question is, in a power outage how do i get all my servers to safely shutdown? Do i run a USB hub? Do i write a script on the one machine connected to turn off all the other machines? I'm confused. Jamie ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

But make sure you connect your network switch to the ups as well ;) You then only have to connect 1 machine to the ups which will act as a server for the other three.

[CentOS] wpa_supplicant and machine freezes
Hi Folks,
I'd like to install my USB-WLAN-Stick Netgear WG111v3.
Ndiswrapper works correct after installing Kernel-Modules from atrpm
ndiswrapper-kmdl-2.6.18-53.1.19.el5.centos.plus-1.52-16.el5.i686.rpm.
But by calling wpa_supplicant with
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d
machine freezes.
My wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="MyNet"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
#psk="MyPSK"
psk=9050ec6fe020b1738fce16c93c33b3809b9e62d5e6bf955518076eb2d7263
}
With this configuration it works correct with Sidux (a debian clone).
But with CentOS 5.1 ???
No hints in /var/log/messages or dmesg available.
Has somebody an advice/ a solution for me?
More information needed?
Thx

Re: [CentOS] new install of 5.1 with KVM-over-IP - can't installwith GUI - need assistance
Hi Fabian, I can't use kickstart as I have diff configs for each server. The servers are rented out to my clients as dedicated servers. Each client has his own needs, so not much that I can do about this. Also, different servers with different hardware (diff size HDs), so just the partitioning by itself must be done manually.

Maybe this one task can be automated. When I was working on RAS for a NAS, we had to be able to handle different HD configurations and sizes. In the install/recovery image I generated on CD (this was several years past), we used sfdisk to automatically partition the HDs. Using a fixed "root" partition size, we calculated the rest of the disk as a % of available for each desired partition.

[CentOS] Help, PHP/Mysql connections are so slow.
Hi. I've got a new Centos 5.1 x86-64 server that uses PHP to communicate with MySQL5. On this server, PHP/Mysql connections are dead slow and unresponsive. It takes sometimes up to a minute to list tables in phpmyadmin for example. I've verified on the server that the issue has to be PHP/Mysql related. If I use a CGI based Mysql admin tool, communication is fast and there are no delays. The server is Xeon based and has 4GB of RAM. SElinux is enabled, and ModSecurity for Apache too. Disabling these two does not help. SElinux allows Apache to network connect. Some php.ini settings: === safe_mode = On max_execution_time = 60 max_input_time = 60 memory_limit = 128M open_basedir is active, and there are no conflicts. disable_functions also contain several functions in order to secure server. allow_fopen_url is disabled === Could there be a bug somewhere that is causing this slowness for PHP/Mysql connections. Feedback and tips for solving this problem will be greatly appreciated :) Regards, /PGE (aka mysteron) --- Link to forum post: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14575&start=0#forumpost50376 --- Answer I've recieved and answered: Q: Sounds like the server is trying to do a reverse DNS lookup and timing out after a minute plus. Is DNS set up on the server correctly? A: Yes, DNS is working correctly. I tried with the IP address of the database server instead of its DNS name, but there is no difference, PHP/Mysql connections are still dead slow. --- ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
