I found this tutorial on how to install yum. The only issue is, we have CentOS 5. Is there a more recent article with the latest files needed to install yum on CentOS5 / Plesk VPS?
I am trying to install Magento on my apache server. I am running into the dreaded mcrypt issue as Magento needs it to run. I have now been googling for the past few hours and have gotten nowhere.
Here are my details:
Linux Centos 5.5 PHP 5.3.3 x86_64 Plesk 12
I have tried installing all sorts of different repos and it just isn't working.
When I try to install using # yum install php-mcrypt I get the following:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Package php-mysql is obsoleted by php-mysqlnd, trying to install php-mysqlnd-5.5.13-3.el5.remi.x86_64 instead --> Processing Dependency: php53-gd for package: psa-php53-configurator --> Processing Dependency: php53-imap for package: psa-php53-configurator
I have a virtuozzo vps account 64-bit centos running whm/cpanel.
I've been having an issue with high load average at times while very little cpu is being used and there is plenty of ram free, and in looking into this, I've run into another thing that seems very odd to me:
free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 786432 179944 606488 0 0 0 -/+ buffers/cache: 179944 606488
I'm testing out the old version of CentOS which is CentOS 2.1 on Virtual PC and I'm running into some problems. After installation of CentOS, it asks me to reboot the system so then I reboot it. Then it prompts me for the login and password.
I type in "root" and my password. Then I'm stuck inside this command prompt that says:
[root@localhost root]#
Now, how exactly do I get into CentOS graphical user interface, or is this it?
Ive gotten all of it to work.. but instead of using SSH (caus I really dont understand it) Am I able to install VNC? And just connect + use the desktop like that?
my question is pretty much can I install VNC on CentOS 4.5 using SSH?
I'm trying to install imagemagick on centos using yum... I did the yum update, then tried 'yum install ImageMagick', but that didn't work - "Nothing to do". I also tried the i386 RPM, which also did not work, I'm missing a bunch of dependencies, has anyone installed this on CentOS know of a specific rpm or another way to install? Ideally, without installing through source.
I followed a combination of this tutorial:[URL]and this tutorial [URL] (I had to use a combination since following each individually brought up errors along the way).
Anyhow, installing OpenVPN was a breeze but I think I am getting hung up on the configuration part. Basically after generating all of the certificate files and stuff, when i try to "service openvpn start" i just get the message "FAILED".
Where do I look to see what the reason for the failed start could be?
I decided to go with Cent OS after reading about it in the forums here, but I've had nothing but problems trying to install it. I first tried to do a net install but the installation took nearly an entire day because it would keep popping up messages about corrupt files when downloading the package files. Eventually it just gave up or rebooted because I came in in the morning to find it at a message saying "No OS installed". I then burned all 7 installation disks and tried that way, still got a few of the corrupt file messages (but far fewer than the previous time) and made it through the installation only to still have it say "no os installed" again after the reboot. I thought maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was not installing a boot loader (there is no other OS installed anyways) but when I tried to reinstall a third time, this time with the boot loader, it now says that the CD drive (USB) is already mounted on tty2 and I can't even start the installation? WTH!
The server is a Dell PowerEdge R300 with two Intel Core 2 Duo 64-bit processors. I'm using the x86_64 ISOs from the Centos.org mirrors.
I've got a 'virgin' machine from Nocster running CentOS 5, including a SATA drive (shows up as "SCSI").
It looks like it'll be a straight-forward install [url], but I wondered if anyone has had this exact combination before and if there are any problems I should expect? Given that it's a dedicated machine I don't have physical access to, I'm slightly paranoid about screwing up.
how to install CentOS by not using the installer. This guide should be great when installing over networks, don't have a graphical console available (for installing over serial), when you're not content with the installer's job, installing CentOS from another distro, or plainly want to learn more about how CentOS works.
Requirements: * Have a host OS that has the "rpm" package manager available. Some distributions have it in their repositories (even if the package manager for the distro itself is not rpm), and knoppix (a linux live/rescue CD) has it aboard too. You can use the first CentOS ISO CD too (use linux rescue at boot), and it has all the necessairy packages aboard * Access to the CentOS base repository. It's on the first CentOS ISO CD * Use your BRAIN. This guide is ment to be interpreted, not copy/pasted
Code: # First, setup your disks to your liking. You can use whatever you want here, # RAID, LVM, etc... Remember your disk configuration because you'll need it # to configure grub, menu.lst and fstab. Using RAID, LVM, or others will require # more configuration than this guide covers. To keep it simple I'm using a # single disk. An example:
$ fdisk /dev/sda $ mount /dev/sda3 /target $ mkdir /target/boot $ mount /dev/sda1 /target/boot
# Depending on the host OS you're using, you may need to initialize the rpm db # on the host OS $ rpm --initdb
# Use the following command to install the packages. I'll be addressing this # command as $rpm.
$ rpm --root /target -i
# Use your shell's tab completion to complete the package filenames. I # deliberatly left out the versions so these instructions apply to a wide range # of versions
# Let's install some basics $rpm setup basesystem filesystem
# Install bash first, this is needed for post-install scripts $rpm bash glibc glibc-common termcap libgcc tzdata mktemp libtermcap
# Install some dependencies (this is mainly to keep the next command smaller) $rpm grep pcre libstdc++ info ncurses zlib gawk sed ethtool
# You may also want to install your favorite editor $rpm nano
# This provides /root with some defaults, like color highlighting on `ls` $rpm rootfiles
# Right now you have system which you can chroot to, so we can start setting up # the basics
# Mount directories for chroot operation $ mount --bind /dev /target/dev $ mount -t proc none /target/proc $ mount -t sysfs none /target/sysfs $ chroot /target
# This constructs /etc/shadow $ pwconv
# Configure fstab $ nano -w /etc/fstab
# Installing the kernel. Do this back outside the chroot in the host OS system $ exit $rpm kernel mkinitrd cpio device-mapper-multipath dmraid gzip kpartx lvm2 nash tar less device-mapper-event
# Install the bootloader, grub. $rpm grub diffutils redhat-logos
# Let's chroot again to configure our bootloader $ chroot /target
# We start by configuring the bootloader. Open /boot/grub/menu.lst, and put the # following there
# If this command gives an error, you can safely ignore this because it's not # of importance. What is important is that grub-install copied the right files # to /boot/grub that we need for booting. $ /sbin/grub-install /dev/sda
# Manually install grub if the previous step failed. - means type it in the grub # shell $ grub $- root (hd0,0) $- setup (hd0)
# Optional packages # You may want to install passwd so you can set passwords ;-) $rpm passwd libuser openldap cyrus-sasl-lib
# These are used to set the keyboard language (loadkeys) $rpm kbd usermode
# ** Right now you should have a bootable system! Here are some tips to help you # through your 1st boot ***
# Most of the system configuration happens in /etc/sysconfig. See
/usr/share/doc/initscripts
for full documentation.
Some quick post-install tips: * Configure your keyboard in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard using the KEYTABLE variable
* Configure networking Take a look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. See ifcfg-lo for an example.
# This recreates the RPM database. If the host OS you used has a different # version of db, rpm will complain with # rpmdb: unable to lock mutex: Invalid argument $ rpmdb --rebuilddb
Apparently on of my colo customers sent the server without the OS or CD drive, and wants us to install CentOS 4.4 64 bit.
Any way to get "download" version of it, put it on a floppy, put it in the server and let the server download the rest from the internet (after we enter the IP info, so it can connect)?

Just to make things clear, i am not new at setting up VPS nodes, i have set up all of my servers with the HyperVM/OpenVZ setup and they work perfectly, but im having a problem with a new server.
Just received my new server, installed HyperVM-Slave, rebooted but the OpenVZ kernel was not installed for some reason, so i manually installed the OpenVZ Kernel using the RPM as yum seemed to install the wrong kernel.
I then installed the kernel using RPM and got this error at the end of installation:
grubby: unable to open /dev/hda: No such file or directory grubby: unable to open /boot/boot.b: No such file or directory grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
I have never encountered this error with any of my other servers before...
Also after installation everything seems to be correct. /etc/grub.conf has the new OpenVZ kernel displayed, and default is set to 0, so upon startup it should be booting the correct kernel, but the thing is, when i reboot the machine the default kernel is loaded even though the grub.conf is configured to load the OpenVZ Kernel.
Im thinking that this may be due to the error i got when installing the kernel.
In the components part of Plesk 8.01 you can install a "ruby on rails support" component, does anyone know if this is actually Ruby? And how can I see if Ruby is actually running, through SSH?
I have customers that want the git program to be able to pull/push their github repos. I've copied all of the files in the git rpm into the site's chroot but whenever they try to pull down their repo via ssl they get this message:
error: while accessing https://github.com/USERNAME/PROJECT.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
We have gotten ssh to work with git but the ssl issue still isn't working.
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Panel version 11.5.30 Update #47
The Webadmin app does not install all the folders it needs to run correctly. I have downloaded and repaired the install as noted in [URL] ..... This did not repair the install. All the folders that are needed in the application directory in the vhosts folder are still missing. I have attached the install log.
I'm new to Plesk - I've inherited a web site for a local social club so have just been handed login and password. I believe I have version 11.0.9 and as I can see mention of an Apache webserver I'm guessing its linux.
So - I want to redesign and use Joomla so I can share the content updating with others.
I can't install Joomla as I have PHP 5.1 and need 5.3. I have no 'server' or any sort of option I can find (and I've looked everywhere!) to find a command line or somewhere I can run things.
When I try to allow SSH access the option says Forbidden and there is no option to change it.
I am trying to install Spam assassin on Plesk 12.0.18 on windows server 2012 r2 . I am getting error:
Error: Unable to set Plesk SpamAssassin 3.3.2 as the default Spam Filter: defpackagemng failed: Execute spammng.exe --check failed with error code 1: Unable generate the unique file name by template D:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskAdditionalPerlsiteetcmailspamassassinlocal.cf[*].bak: directory D:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskAdditionalPerlsiteetcmailspamassassin does not exist
I have tried re-installing and installing spam assassin from command and as per the solution given in below KB: URL....But I an still not able to install in on the server. I have checked all directory paths are correctly located.
I would like to install APCu (Alternative PHP Cache) & ZendOptimizer on plesk v12, I just wanted to know if there is any instructions for installing it correctly in a manner that will not cause issues with plesk updates.
According to: URL....I tried to install php 5.3...Before able to .configure php source, i must install several dependencies. I resolved most of them but installing libmcrypt-devel gives the following error:
i use Plesk on a vserver which was offering it in version 11.x, i upgraded to 12.0.18, then i installed Dovecote on the panel. Everything went fine. Mail server is working.BUT sieve does not allow me to login and create filters.I tried telnet against 4190, and it works:
Connected to mail.xxxxxxxx.xxx. Escape character is '^]'. "IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot Pigeonhole" "SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave imapflags notify" "NOTIFY" "mailto" "SASL" "PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5" "STARTTLS" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "Dovecot ready."
But when i use my sieve plugin for thunderbird OR access plesk's webmailclient Roundcube opening the filter module, it doesnt work. On Thunderbird i see the loading animation, thats it. On Roundcube it says "Unable to connect to sieve server".
Looks like something is missing. I can definitely access 4190 on my server from anywhere. So no firewall issue. I didnt change anything on configs, since plesk is handling it.Roundcube log doesnt give me anything. I dont even see logs added (to syslog or mail.*) while i try to connect.
