[CentOS-docs] CentOS Newsletter.
As a native born Englishman with a critical eye for the misuse of the written language ( a tendency towards pedantry), I have noticed a fair number of grammatical and spelling errors in past issues of the CentOS Newsletter. I cannot offer to be a proof-reader, per se, (I just do not have the time to deal with such a request as Here is the latest issue which will be published in 24 hours time. Please proof-read and correct it.) but would have the time to read and correct it on the fly. That is my offer. If, whoever it may concern, is willing to accept it then I shall require both sight and write access to the pre-publication page(s).

[CentOS-virt] KVM - restart of VMs after rejoin a node into cluster
Hi, I have the following problem ... I have a cluster with 2 nodes and use the Vrtualisierung KVM (83-105.el5_4.22) on CentOS 5.4 (x64 - 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5) with drbd 8.3.6. For the cluster, I use the following software tools: - heartbeat (3.0.1) - pacemaker (1.0.7) and - libvirt (0.6.3). If a node has been switched off or he was placed on standby and I activate it again, all VMs will be restarted (reboot) after the 2nd Node is online and active. Is this a known problem? Does anyone know where the bug is? Is there a solution for this? regards ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
[CentOS-es] Hacer a un usuario administrador
Hola buenos dias, estoy buscando la manera para hacer a un usuario normal administrador y tenga los mismos permisos que root. Simplemente es para pleno aprendizaje por si algun dia lo necesitara. He intentado agregar por ejemplo el usuario tecnico a el grupo root y al grupo admin con adduser tecnico root y adduser tecnico admin pero no me ha funcionado.

Re: [CentOS-es] Apache
No cmprendo del todo tu problema pero guiandome un poco por las sugerencias que recibiste te sugiero que leas un poco sobre como se modifica el archivo de configuracion del servidor 'Apache' que se llama httpd.conf En ese archivo vas a encontrarte con una serie de directivas (instrucciones que son leidas por el servidor) que le dicen si permite o no permite (en ingles seria Allow o Deny respectivamente) listar o sea permitir envierle al navegador web el contenido de los directorios (carpetas donde se encuentran los archivos de tu sitio como index.html o index.php etc) Existen varias maneras de controlar esta situacion y todas dependen del ambiente en el que te encuentres esto es si es un sitio publico o si es una intranet. Alguna de las ociones incluso te permiten filtrar el ingreso para que solo los que se encuentren dentro de un determinado rango de IP puedan ingresar. Espero que esto te ayude. Sino no dudes en seguir consultando. Por ultimo el archivo de configuracion httpd.conf se encuentra totalmente comentado donde te explica que hace cada parte del codigo y cual es sus funcion. La mejor opcion de lectura para tu problema es el sitio web oficial del servidor.

Un consejo... si quieres hacerte un buen admin deja de lado webmin un poco y empieza a fajarte con la consola. Usa Webmin para cosas muy puntuales, no niego que es una buena herramienta, pero intenta hacerte fuerte en línea de comandos que es donde UNIX/Linux tiene la belleza y se ven los logros... d:D Es como una sensación de satisfacción que uno vive por dentro que muchos de los Sysadmin mas viejos podrían describirte con mejor claridad... ayúdenme Eso intentamos...

Es poco elegante pero cambiale el UID de tu usuario por el mismo del root (el del root es cero 0 si no me equivoco), mira el archivo passwd el root esta de los primeros.

Lo del firewall: EL equipo con linux no tiene firewall ni reglas de iptables, el windows server 2003 al que quiero pingear, no se si tiene firewall activado, pero haciendo ping desde el servidor Linux -openvpn- que se encuentra en la misma red que el WS2003, logro sin problemas hacer ping, creo q esto debiera ser lo mismo. Y el cliente desde el que me conecto a la VPN, no tiene firewall, ni bloqueo de puertos alguno. Ahora yo no lo sé, porque soy nuevo en lo de openvpn, ¿Debería ingresar como cliente al WS2003?, yo creo que no, que en modo road warrior debiera verlo por defecto en la red ( si no, ¿que gracia tiene este menjunje?), ahora creo tener la seguridad de que si lo incluyera a la vpn, gracias a la linea client-to-client, debiera tomarlo sin problemas, no lo he probado puesto que mi acceso al WS2003 es limitado

[CentOS] how to work with Code Repositories, but for web development?
Hi all, I would like some suggestion on this matter please. I have never bothered using any code repositories / version control systems for our web development project, many cause I didn't know any better, and probably cause most of our projects don't really require that we need to keep a history of what has changed. i.e. a client wants to change something on their website, and we change it, whether it's cosmetics or code (normally PHP MySQL). But, I want to see if CVS, or maybe even a forge script (like in offerforge) could benefit met. Most of the time when we make changes to the code, we simply update the version, from say 1.2.2 to 1.2.3 and write the changes to a basic changelog, which in our case is a simple text file calles changelog.txt But, how could I benefit from a CVS, ir similar system? And what would be best for this environment? I installed CVS on my CentOS server, but it seems that it's not just a matter of creating a tree and dumping code. I'm not too worried about multiple users at this stage. All our coding is currently stored on a CentOS 5.4 Samba server, so we can access to the code from either a Windows or Linux PC. Do I need anything more? I started using eclipse+PHP a few months ago and I don't really use it to its full potential, so I'm sure I could benefit from it more. So, the question is, what is a good recommended setup to go with? Web based access to all the files would be nice, then we could access it from outside the LAN on HTTPS. And how do I use it to my benefit? For example, clientA wants to make changes to Project1. Now I have a Project1 in the CVS tree (is this the right terminology?), and make changes to file contacts.php - what now? Do I need to create a subfolder called 1.2.2 (for example), and add only the updated file in this folder, or do I copy the whole Project into the new folder? 2 weeks down the line I need to make changes to 8 files, what do I do now?

I don't have a problem hosting my own code, we already have all the infrastructure in place :) The philosophical difference between git and subversion is that subversion by design has only one central repository. You can branch the work there if you want to maintain different versions simultaneously, but the working copies where you make changes don't store the history or multiple versions. With git you can clone the whole repository and make changes locally and it is optional whether the central (if there is such a thing) repository accepts your changes. Subversion is good if you want central control and have good network connections to all places where you edit. Git is better if some people need to edit offline or people want to be able to fork the work and never commit back to the original repository. If you use subversion, you probably want to start with the current version packaged in rpmforge instead of the ancient one in stock centos. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

But, I want to see if CVS, or maybe even a forge script (like in offerforge) could benefit met. Most of the time when we make changes to the code, we simply update the version, from say 1.2.2 to 1.2.3 and write the changes to a basic changelog, which in our case is a simple text file calles changelog.txt But, how could I benefit from a CVS, ir similar system? And what would be best for this environment? I installed CVS on my CentOS server, but it seems that it's not just a matter of creating a tree and dumping code. I'm not too worried about multiple users at this stage. All our coding is currently stored on a CentOS 5.4 Samba server, so we can access to the code from either a Windows or Linux PC. Do I need anything more? I'd use subversion rather than cvs, but the concepts are mostly similar. Create a repository, import your existing file tree (or several if you want to break it into projects at directory levels. Then check out a working copy somewhere else. Once you are sure that works, delete (or move) your original copy and check out a working copy in its place (this might be your actual web server tree or a staging copy that you rsync to the real server(s). From then on, you always edit in working copies and commit the changes back to the repository. Many working copies can be checked out at once, and an 'update' command will bring them up to the current repository version so it is easy for many people to share work. You can use subversion's own server protocol or the mod_dav_svn module for apache for access over http(s). I started using eclipse+PHP a few months ago and I don't really use it to its full potential, so I'm sure I could benefit from it more. With eclipse, you can use the subclipse module for GUI access to the subversion features. If you work from windows the tortisesvn program adds it to windows explorer. So, the question is, what is a good recommended setup to go with? Web based access to all the files would be nice, then we could access it from outside the LAN on HTTPS. And how do I use it to my benefit? For example, clientA wants to make changes to Project1. Now I have a Project1 in the CVS tree (is this the right terminology?), and make changes to file contacts.php - what now? Do I need to create a subfolder called 1.2.2 (for example), and add only the updated file in this folder, or do I copy the whole Project into the new folder? You can control access by path - or have separate repositories per client/site. Normally everyone just commits work to the repository as they go, then when the changes are ready you update the site to that revision - perhaps through a staging/test process. 2 weeks down the line I need to make changes to 8 files, what do I do now? Edit in a working copy, commit, update in the master copy. Does this make sense? I realize it could be beneficial to keep older files, but how does one structure it? History is kept automatically. Every commit makes a revision number and you can check out (or update to) any revision ever committed. If you want to make big changes and be able to edit different versions simultaneously you can make branch copies. If you want what appear to be snapshot copies with your own naming convention you can make tag copies. This is all covered pretty well in the subversion documentation and the only thing that takes any thought is how the repository relates to the active site. You might be able to make the live files a working copy and manage it directly with updates to current or a specified revision number. Or you may want to do that in a staging area, perhaps with a way to preview the changes, then use rsync (which has a -C option to skip CVS or subversion metadata) to push to the production location(s). -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] how to work with Code Repositories, but for web development?
The one other tidbit that I'd add is ... experiment! Don't let your first try at setting up a repository be your production setup. Try different repository layouts. The online subversion book walks you through the issues, but I'd caution against making a decision without trying stuff out. Create your repo (I use Subversion, but that's no knock against Git or Darcs or Mercurial or ...). Check out or clone a copy. Edit some files. Rearrange directories. Commit the changes. Rinse, lather, repeat -- several times. Ask yourself if the layout is good, if the repository workflow dovetails with the way you work, if the client-side tools work well with the various operating systems in your environment. If you'll rely on a central, official repository, figure out a backup strategy. It's good to figure out a template for commit messages: what information needs to be provided to document the why of changes. There are few things more annoying than an empty or meaningless commit message. Finally, if your repository goes hand-in-hand with a lot of meta-information like documentation, trouble tickets, milestones, or things like screenshots, think about associating your repository with a wiki like Trac: http://trac.edgewall.org/ -- Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com http://www.madboa.com/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Login timed out after 60 seconds
A server at work today appeared unresponsive to all network traffic. The machine in question doesn't have a k/v/m terminal; it's configured to use a serial console. So I connected to the serial console and got /etc/issue (with all the \char sequences properly expanded). At the login: prompt I typed root and pressed Enter. Several seconds went by before the Password: prompt was displayed. I typed the password and soon saw Login timed out after 60 seconds At which point /etc/issue and the login: prompt reappeared. Later investigation revealed the load average was hovering around 100, so it's unlikely the machine would be able to process the username and password in under a minute. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to lengthen that timeout value from 60 to, say, 180.
