[gentoo-user] Server Mirroring...
Hi Gentoo-User I run a Apache2 webserver and Postfix as per the virtual mailhost guide... For resilience I would like to have two gentoo boxes doing these tasks for load balancing / redundancy - how can this be achieved? Is there a tool that will allow replication of the config files / mysql stuff to allow the boxes to basically be a cluster ? Oh - one more thing, the boxes will sit in different data centres ! Thanks in advance... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Veritas Backup Exec 10d
Hi Gentoo User, Recently brought Backup Exec 10d but before doing so spoke with a sales person who confirmed with Veritas that the Linux/Unix agent would work... After finding that it doesn't and checking the Veritas site http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/264484.htm it would seem that it supports a lot of other Linux OS's so I am sure I could fudge it to work on Gentoo... So it seems to need RPM support so I emerged RPM, it then fails on some needed - see below: Installing Symantec Backup Exec Remote Agent for Linux and Unix Servers 4.0 on muttley: Cannot install VRTSvxmsa ...

I guess I would just download the RPM's for the above and install - right ? Anyone else using BEv10d and has had the same problem ? Thanks Mal -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Veritas Backup Exec 10d
okay, first verify that those programs are on the box. if they ALL are, rpm --nodeps rpmname will cause it to ignore them. the problem is your rpm database does not reflect the installed packages, because they weren't installed with rpm... maybe if someone has a way to import the information portage maintains into the rpm db..? Thanks for this but how would I check each requirement ? My world file is: sys-apps/slocate net-ftp/ncftp sys-kernel/gentoo-sources net-ftp/gftp app-arch/rpm dev-util/strace app-editors/vim net-dns/bind-tools sys-process/vixie-cron app-arch/zip media-gfx/imagemagick www-client/lynx sys-boot/grub sys-kernel/linux-headers sys-fs/reiserfsprogs net-fs/samba www-client/links app-admin/syslog-ng app-editors/nano app-editors/nedit sys-libs/glibc But aren't a lot of what it needs possibly handled by glibc ?

RE: [gentoo-user] Veritas Backup Exec 10d
I'd install lib-compat and see how much of your list that gets you. Most binary packages require lib-compat on just about any Linux distro. Assuming you can get all the libs you need I'd force the install rather than try to inject everything you need into your rpm db. Should I emerge this or get the RPM and when you say force it - you mean using the --nodeps option on RPM ? ta -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Veritas Backup Exec 10d
Hi Gentoo-User, Managed to get the agent installed on most of the boxes however on two (One Gentoo, Other Red-Hat) it's failing... And I cant see in the logs why... Anyone got experience debugging these things ? Ta. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Gentoo Virtual Mailhost Setup Question.
Hi Gentoo-User, I am running the virtual mailhost as per the Gentoo set-up guide and would like to know the best way of being able to configure auto-response messages, for example, an Out of Office notification... Anyone able to give me some pointers on this ? Ta Mal -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Gentoo Virtual Mailhost Setup Question.
If you're using qmail and have qmailadmin, you can use the Vacation feature. Sounds like a handy feature but I am using Postfix... :( Does Postfix offer this functionality ? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Few questions from Gentoo (not Linux) newb
Q3) When emerging packages I get a message saying something like /etc 42 files need fixing (or similar do not have the machine here to try). What should I actually do ? Why this message ? I'm guessing that you have config files that need updating. etc update is the tool for this or dispatch-conf which I find better... Search forums.gentoo.org for the dispatch-conf how-to and get that going - be careful though, many people (me included) have hosed their system be selecting the wrong settings - back up first, again dispatch-conf does this but I would copy etc off elsewhere just in case... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Plesk...
Hi List, Anyone ever installed Plesk onto a Gentoo server ? Can it be done and if so how did you find the install ? Got someone wanting me to install a Plesk box for them and I don't want to have to use Red-Hat Thanks in advance. Mal -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Load Balancing / Redundant Network ?
Hi List, Been looking on forums.gentoo.org looking for a way to pair two NIC's so that should the primary fail, the secondary takes over... The situation is this: 8 HP DL380G4's all running Gentoo moving into a data centre rack, the firewall is currently a Netscreen(Juniper) 25 and another will be added to give us Active/Passive failover on the firewalls. Redundant switches will be added behind the firewalls to ensure that is not a single point of failure, all the DL380 have two NIC's in them and currently only one is active. All boxes covered with HP on a 24x7x4 Carepaq, redundant power supplies to be added - DC is a N+1 so fine there... Biggest issue I am facing and becoming lost on is teaming the NIC's so I can connect NIC1 to Switch 1 and NIC2 to switch 2 etc... Can anyone help ? Ta Mal -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Gentoo Install corrupted after first reboot.
Hi Gentoo-User, Just been installing Gentoo using the 2005.0 Minimal CD and I did a stage 2. The hardware is a HP DL380 G4, with the internal 6i RAID controller - The Kernel was compiled with the needed support for the 6i controller and my devices were: /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /boot ext2 /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 /swap /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 /root reiserfs Grub picked up the drive fine after making the required mapping in device.map, all was looking good so I rebooted and got the grub splash screen - selected the install and it then booted, found a reiserfs file system and then rebooted so I let it boot again and then got a reiserfs error so I booted the 2005.0 cd and ran reiserfsck /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 - errors were found and it advised running --rebuild-tree which I did... Now after booting the 2005.0 cd and mounting /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 it would seem that I have only a single directory of which is lost+found. Have I just lost this mornings work and is it worth re-installing ? What could have caused this to happen and would the same thing happen again ? Of all the Gentoo systems I have built and rebuilt - this is the first time I have seen this ! :( Hoping someone can help... Thanks in advance. Mal -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
