[CentOS-es] Programar envio de correos con phpList

2011-07-05 Thread Maykel Franco Hernández
 

Muy buenas, tengo implementado en mi servidor de correo el phpList
para las listas de correo. Funciona bastante bien, lo único que no me
funciona es la programación del envío de correos en el apartado de envio
de mensajes/Calendario , ese apartado de calendario lo configuro para
que a una determinada hora empiece a mandar el correo pero no hace nada
de nada. He buscado info antes de acudir a vosotros y por lo visto hay
más gente que ha tenido problemas con la programación del envio de
correos pero no pone como solucionarlo ya que por lo que he leído hay
que programar una tarea en crontab y además modificar algún .php de
phpList. 

Alguien ha conseguido programar el envío de correos? Alguien
me puede ayudar? 

Un saludo y gracias de antemano. 

PD: Perdón por el
otro correo.

 I was running a shop with two servers as ltsp with about 100 thin
 clients and a dozen projectors.

 One 20 KVA UPS powered all of them

 There was another 25KVS for critical fan light etc.

 Withing two years at least 20  (out of 64 IIRC) (mainance free)
 batteries were replaced.

Fortunately I read about Google's server and their cheap per server
UPS approach and never went for the single high power UPS except when
absolutely needed. It was easier to deal with dead UPS in places where
there are more than one server simply by plugging the machine into the
other UPS while the first was replaced.

Otherwise, the single large UPS becomes the single point of failure.

the good big ones are fully redundant and every component is hot swappable.

but yeah, distributed UPS the way google did it is rather sweet.   As 
long as part of their operating plan is replacing every server by the 
time its batteries need replacing, they are good to go.You also need 
the sort of cloud management environment where your servers themselves 
are interchangable worker units and can be easily taken down for maintenance

OTOH, populating lots of racks with several APC SU3000's each is a pain 
in the butt.   Servicing dozens or 100s of per-rack UPS's when they are 
3-4 years old and need battery replacement is also very time consuming.  
a battery tray swap of a decent sized datacenter UPS takes a half day 
with a small fork lift.

 Hook up ethernet, if its not POE, you plug it in, attach all the various

 your server is unresponsive just go ahead and hit the IP you assigned to

 How exactly would that work?

I'm still not clear on this solution.
Assuming you are actually doing this, could you tell me how you set it up

 Has anyone seen a supported hardware list on CentOS 6? I've been looking 
 around for the last few days; even looked at RedHat's site but didn't 
 find one.

Maybe try here:

Then you use (app or web browser?) and open up IP of the device and you 
get somethink like VNC or TeamViewer but directly to hardware. Device

Check my question regarding the same question from May. 3rd this year
with the subject list of supported hardware.

There is a list of certified hardware, but no list of supported hardware.

I find this strange as in my opinion the hardware support is mainly
handled in the kernel. If people are writing drivers for the kernel, it 
would be quite simple to ask them adding the supported hardware to a
list.

Some two years ago I had an issue with a new motherboard. After a
kernel update, it had massive memory errors in the log-files. It
turned out that a new kernel driver simply added the feature of
reporting errors. They were there before, but not reported. I had to
wade through the kernel source code and the history-files to figure
out what had happened. Not really good, but OTOH no CENTOS problem.

Re: [CentOS] ext4 in CentOS 5.6?

 If you're running a database on it, you might re-think using a
 journaled filesystem. For that, ext2 will be faster and much
 less prone to unrecoverable data loss.

 Did you mean EXT4, or in actual fact EXT2? I thought EXT4 was faster than
 EXT2?


The optimum on an EXT basis for a filesystem that does not require
journaling going forwards would be EXT4 with no journal... that way
you get the benefit of extents etc without a journal slowing you
down A better option than EXT2 ;)

an fsck which might be slow depending on how many files are on the partition?

Hi

I am trying to install CentOS 5.6 on HP DL 180 G6 which has HP Smart
Array B110i SATA RAID Controller Driver. I have 4 * 500 GB SATA HDD
and configured RAID 1+0 using System BIOS, the BIOS detects usable
disk space as 940GB disk space, when i start installing the OS, it
does not detect HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller Driver

As per 
http://h2.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=encc=usprodTypeId=15351prodSeriesId=3884339swItem=MTX-ee8b3f5c09a44b8aa259d07d3dprodNameId=3884340swEnvOID=4004swLang=8taskId=135mode=4idx=1

Is there a way to get .iso file during installation of CentOS Linux ?

Re: [CentOS] mounting a CentOS 5.5-based NFS partitions from a Mac OS X machine

2011-07-05 Thread Boris Epstein

 Is the OS X firewall blocking nfs?

 How are you mounting the export? If you're not trying it from within
 Terminal, does it work from within it?
 __

The OS X firewall dos not appear to be a factor. Actually it works
just fine when I turn off the firewall on the CentOS end.

Could it be that even when I am trying to mount over the TCP the NFS
client on the Mac OS X side still tried to connect to some UDP port? I
am asking that because everyone else mounts just fine with the
firewall up on the server end.

In general and with some simplifiying assumptions, a database
consists of statically pre-allocated files. The process of extending
the files happens at birth. The relative speed over the lifetime
of the database is dominated by raw I/O, not by extending the files.

Not familiar with the HP RAID controller card, but with others, you have
to go into the firmware on boot, and make the arrays, then make the
controller present it to the o/s. Until you do that very last step, you
don't see anything.

HAHA, what's your take on ZFS then?

We've been running ZFS on a few storage servers, both in the office and for
our hosting clients for about 2 years now and all I can say it that it's
rock solid.

With raidz2 (similar to RAID6) we've never had any data loss or corruption
due to hard drive failure and long rebuilds.
And if you use SSD for ZIL  LARC2 cache, it's super fast. the same systems
with EXT3 simply couldn't match the performance we got got from ZFS.



BUT, since we're not allowed to talk about anything else other than CentOS

I take it you limit your raidz2 arrays to a maximum of 9 drives?

/me wonders what an md raid array with an ext3 fs that has its journal

I would not give zfs the performance crown just yet. Have you tried

Re: [CentOS] HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller Driver

2011-07-05 Thread John Doe
From: Kaushal Shriyan kaushalshri...@gmail.com

 I am trying to install CentOS 5.6 on HP DL 180 G6 which has HP Smart
 Array B110i SATA RAID Controller Driver. I have 4 * 500 GB SATA HDD
 and configured RAID 1+0 using System BIOS, the BIOS detects usable
 disk space as 940GB disk space, when i start installing the OS, it
 does not detect HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller Driver
 As per 
 http://h2.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=encc=usprodTypeId=15351prodSeriesId=3884339swItem=MTX-ee8b3f5c09a44b8aa259d07d3dprodNameId=3884340swEnvOID=4004swLang=8taskId=135mode=4idx=1
 Is there a way to get .iso file during installation of CentOS Linux ?

As mark said, did you create one (or more) logical drive(s) after you created 
the array?
About the driver, they say: The successful installation will replace the 
driver that shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 which seems to imply that 
a working driver exists already...
Also, remember for later that many hp tools/drivers do check the 
/etc/redhat-release for a specific Redhat release string...
If they see CentOS ... instead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 
(Tikanga), it won't install.

[CentOS] getting old mail every 5 months or so

2011-07-05 Thread Bob Hoffman
Using centos 5.x, sendmail, as a server, downloading mail with 
thunderbird (although this happened with outlook too)

every 5 or 6 months I open my mail client (thunderbird) and one of my 
mail accounts decides to download 1,000 or so mails from my server. Old 
mail that I had already downloaded before.

I changed no settings and everything is the same as it was, but this 
happens enough, on all accounts, that it is just weird. It is like it 
gets to a certain size and then redownloads the same mails. And they are 
the same mails. I have had 'redownloads' of the same emails each time.

I look in the queue, nothing there...same with the mailboxes in the user 
folders, var/spool/mail

these mails are being held somewhere by centos, but I cannot find

The OS X firewall dos not appear to be a factor. Actually it works
just fine when I turn off the firewall on the CentOS end.

Could it be that even when I am trying to mount over the TCP the NFS
client on the Mac OS X side still tried to connect to some UDP port? I
am asking that because everyone else mounts just fine with the
firewall up on the server end.
  
As I recall OS X only does NFS via TCP - other clients can use UDP - 
make sure your CentOS firewall has the TCP ports open.

 lists I personally have not experienced them.

True, but that you'll get in any industry, with any product - even EMC
or other similar large and expensive equipment vendors :)

 With raidz2 (similar to RAID6) we've never had any data loss or
 corruption due to hard drive failure and long rebuilds.
 And if you use SSD for ZIL  LARC2 cache, it's super fast. the same
 systems with EXT3 simply couldn't match the performance we got got from
 ZFS.


 I take it you limit your raidz2 arrays to a maximum of 9 drives?

Yes, in a 12-bay chassis, we use:
1x L2ARC SSD
2x ZIL SSD mirrored
9x SATA / SAS (depending on application) drives in raidz2, which
effectively gives us 7 usable drives

I am contemplating using 24bay chassis instead, purely from a cost
(hardware, power, cooling) point of view and then using 2x raidz2
pools.


 /me wonders what an md raid array with an ext3 fs that has its journal
 on an ssd in full data journal mode give in terms of performance.

I honestly haven't tried this yet, probably cause when I looked at how
this works, it's only the journal which runs on SSD, so reads won't
benefit much from it, only reads. But with ZFS you get all the data,
read  write, cached on SSD



 I would not give zfs the performance crown just yet. Have you tried
 using ext3 with an external journal on the ssd and ext3 on raid6? What
 kind of usage pattern do you have on those zfs filesystems?

It's generally shared  VPS hosting, so basically: websites, email,
databases, logs, etc :)





 BUT, since we're not allowed to talk about anything else other than
 CentOS on this list people don't mention it.


 I find that this list is generally tolerant of offtopic but technical
 topics. What it does not like is flamewars made of posts that have zero
 technical merit.

True, but have you seen how quickly some grumpy mailing list
activist can derail a thread with: please don't post OT stuff here
and then the whole conversation just dies down..

Yes, but I suppose it all depends on the needs of the server in question :)

In our case, with web servers, reads (i.e. opening websites,
downloading content) far outweighs writes (which are basically logs,
file uploads, and sessions being written to disk.

In case of forums (we have many clients with forums) reads  writes
are sometimes equal, but even then reads are still more common in our
case than writes.

Hi Boris. For any network connectivity problems, I'd 
recommend using wireshark. It's in the Centos updates repo. 
Just try 'yum info wireshark*' Running that will enable you

It's not always easy, or even possible to add more RAM, especially since the

 Has anyone seen a supported hardware list on CentOS 6? I've been looking

 I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN mini-card
 in it and I'm trying to find out if it's going to have native driver
 support for the WIFI.
 I think most of the Dell Inspirons actually have a Broadcom 1390.
 There's plenty of posts on it on Fedora forum, not sure how much will be
 applicable to CentOS 6.

 I took a look at the Fedora 15 live CD and it didn't have any idea what
 to do with the WIFI chipset. As I recall it didn't even see it.


 Broadcom has license restrictions so even ElRepo guys wont create rpms,
 but there is howto, even for CentOS 5:

That was true, but...

We (elrepo) certainly aren't prepared to create and redistribute binary 
kmod-wl RPMS given the Broadcom licensing restrictions. However, one 
of our colleagues recently required these packages so we did knock up 
some kmod packages for el5 and el6 for our own internal not to be 
redistributed private use.

As there is evidently a high demand for them, we have decided to make 
available our SRPMS (well, .nosrc.rpm actually) which end users can 
rebuild themselves.

http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/SRPMS/wl-kmod-5_100_82_38-1.el5.elrepo.nosrc.rpm
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/SRPMS/wl-kmod-5_100_82_38-2.el6.elrepo.nosrc.rpm

Because these packages do not contain or redistribute anything from 
Broadcom they are not subject to Broadcom's licensing, hence we feel we 
are able to distribute them if they benefit the community. I think we 
have some detailed directions somewhere on how to build the packages 
from our SRPMS so perhaps one of my colleagues will get that posted up 
shortly.

Hope that helps.

 does not detect HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller Driver

 Is there a way to get .iso file during installation of CentOS Linux ?

 As mark said, did you create one (or more) logical drive(s) after you created 
 the array?
 About the driver, they say: The successful installation will replace the 
 driver that shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 which seems to imply 
 that a working driver exists already...
 Also, remember for later that many hp tools/drivers do check the 
 /etc/redhat-release for a specific Redhat release string...
 If they see CentOS ... instead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 
 5 (Tikanga), it won't install.

Hi again

So what i understand is disable RAID mode on the BIOS and enable AHCI
mode and install the OS and install driver rpm and use the HP
proprietary solution and it would be a software raid or use mdadm
software RAID as provided by the OS ?

Please help me understand.

Please help me understand.

If the device requires an additional driver, unless its packaged as a dd for 
use at
install, how can you install and then add a driver?

Disable RAID mode, set it to AHCI, then Anaconda will see all the individual 
discs
at which point during install you can choose to setup Linux md raid, far simpler
and almost always better than software raid IMHO.

Recovery and monitoring facilities are built into Linux, life's just easier...

Hi Joseph L Casale


That thing is a software raid setup iirc, although there is an rpm for it
post install, you could use the ddkit from rhel to make a dd image but
frankly I would just use mdraid, turn off the riad setup and just use AHCI.

Thanks for the quick reply and explanation. You said use dd kit from
rhel and create a linux device driver image and supply drivers during
OS installation.  dd command i suppose. Please further suggest.

I have extracted the rpm file and it has hpahcisr.o file. Am i
understanding you correctly ?

Thanks again

 I have a set of 4.3 *CDs* I bought way back when from Cheapbytes.  Will

The CD ISOs are available on the archive, I do believe. I had hoped to 
avoid merging the CDs into a http-accessible directory and merging the 
repos, if I can avoid it. I'll be installing as a Xen domU, so having a 
single ISO also makes it easier to just boot off of the one image, 
rather than needing to swap out mounted ISOs.

Very kind of you to offer though! :)

 why not 4.latest?

 4.8 is here both as a download and a torrent
 ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/pub/centos/4/isos/i386/

It's a very heavily modified, and quite old, machine. We're going to 
move away from it to a modern release, but until then, we don't want to 
risk breaking anything. For this reason, we want to stick to the 4.3 
install on the current server.

 Is the OS X firewall blocking nfs?

 How are you mounting the export? If you're not trying it from within
 Terminal, does it work from within it?

 The OS X firewall dos not appear to be a factor. Actually it works
 just fine when I turn off the firewall on the CentOS end.

 Could it be that even when I am trying to mount over the TCP the NFS
 client on the Mac OS X side still tried to connect to some UDP port? I
 am asking that because everyone else mounts just fine with the
 firewall up on the server end.

 As I recall OS X only does NFS via TCP - other clients can use UDP - make
 sure your CentOS firewall has the TCP ports open.

OS X does use TCP but I've just run tcpdump on an F15 VM while
mounting and unmounting an NFS share from my Mac. Both the mount and
umount result in four UDP packets, two to the portmapper and two to
random ports.

I don't have time to experiment further right now but perhaps opening
up 111 UDP will allow your Macs to mount the NFS shares.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS on the HP MicroServer

2011-07-05 Thread Devin Reade
I was looking at the marketing hype on those machines, and they look
like they take a standard 3.5 SATA drive.  OTOH, some pictures of 
the HP model drives for the microserver look like there's some type
of handle on the front.  I'm assuming that this is the hard disk
carrier mentioned in the installation manual.

Does the basic microserver ship with four of those drive carriers,
or do they have to be purchased separately?

Also, would anyone who has a CentOS-based microserver with a
remote access card care to share any observations about that
card, such as integration aspects and accessing it in a 
completely windows-free environment?

indeed, it ships with the 4 drive trays.  Note they are not advertised 
as hot swap, I believe this is probably because there is no SES 
(enclosure services) and Windows in particular is not happy about 
hotswapping disks without one.   afaik, if you go to the trouble of 
using the mdadm commands on linux to take the drive offline before 
removing it, you should be able to 'warm swap' as there's nothing in the 
hardware preventing it, and the SATA connector is inherently 
electrically safe for hotswap.

I haven't actually used one but the Remote Access Card provides a web 
based KVM, and if its anything like iLO Advanced (various websites seem 
to think its equivalent), it likely uses a Java-in-your-browser based 
VNC implementation for the remote VGA, so this should be pretty easy to 
get going with Firefox+Java on a 'nix platform.   Several sites say it 
uses Avocent MergePoint EMS

 thats not even remotely true of many databases.  PostgreSQL, for

 WAL files.

The PostgreSQL wiki seems to say that database tables are
allocated in 1GB extents. In workloads with which I am

around all that much, i.e. the vast majority of writes do
not result in a change to the underlying database's storage
allocation. Once in a while a new extent is allocated.

I suppose there could be exceptions, but I haven't run
across one personally.

The WAL files you refer to are apparently database
transaction logs. According to the wiki, these too
are allocated in extents (WAL segments) of 16MB each.

I am not persuaded that the point I was making was
erroneous.

you misread that.

When a table or index exceeds 1 GB, it is divided into
gigabyte-sized/segments/. The first segment's file name is the same
as the filenode; subsequent segments are named filenode.1,
filenode.2, etc. This arrangement avoids problems on platforms that
have file size limitations. ...


Each file is no larger than 1GB (by default), but its written and 
expanded as needed, not in any fixed size increment.


 The WAL files you refer to are apparently database
 transaction logs. According to the wiki, these too
 are allocated in extents (WAL segments) of 16MB each.

The wal logs are 16M files, also written sequentially as needed, and 
nearly continuously on a insert/update intensive database.  they are not 
reused, rather, old wal files are deleted (unless you're archiving), and 
new ones are created continuously.
