RHEL 4 Or 5
Apr 27, 2008Will you use RHEL 4 or 5? Is there any great differences between them?
I want to use the newer version, but helix server [url] requires RHEL 4 to run, so I am just thinking whether I should use RHEL 4 or 5.

Wasn't it supposed to be released in December?
64 Bit RHEL
Jan 4, 2007Going to order a new server fairly soon, and I'm facing the tough question if I should go with 64-bit or stay with the "classic" 32 bits. My operating system of choice is Red Hat Enterprise 4.
From the research I've done, RHEL 4 (64 bits) should come with dual libraries that would allow running 32 bit and 64 bit applications under the same 64 bit operating system. Sounds great, and if it comes with an overall performance boost I am all for it.
But I've also heard that that's only the theory - in reality, I could end up banging my head against the screen for uncounted hours because compatibility still isn't as good as it's supposed to be. I don't plan to run Plesk or Cpanel, but I still don't want to get into hot water with other applications I've been using on my current 32-bit server.
All in all it's intimidated me quite a bit, so I'd probably go with 32 bits this time around, just to be on the safe side. Then again, I'm still having an eye on the possible performance boost, so dunno. Does anyone have an idea what's the latest on this? 64 bit already safe for the non-experimental-minded, or bleeding edge and stay away from?
SuSE Vs. RHEL
Apr 13, 2009Anyone out there have experience with SuSE over RedHat? RHEL is obviously the generalized Enterprise version used across most commercial hosting companies, but I'm interested in hearing about some SuSE experiences people have had.
It looks like SoftLayer offers SuSE and a couple VPS hosting companies do the same. I'm wondering how many large-scale sites are run on this operating system.

Cpanel On RHEL Server
Dec 10, 2008I just installed RHEL on our in house web server. This server is going to host our secure public server.
I was wondering if installing a control panel (cPanel) would be a good idea? I would like something automated to setup php, mysql, apache etc.
Update A Red Hat (RHEL 4) Package (vsftpd)
Jul 11, 2008With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL 4), are updated packages made available, or are only security patches backported? Specifically I'm interested in vsftpd. Version 2.0.1 is included in the RHEL installation on a server I'm working on, but there is a bug fix in v2.0.4 that I'd like to get access to.
Is there an easy way for me to browse / search what packages are available for RHEL 4, preferably via website?

Time Auto Modified At RHEL Server
Mar 17, 2008I have a problem with time at one RHEL 4 server, it is a plain box, and from time to time the time (hours) seems to be auto modified, no one is touching the box and then from once it got modified to a few hours less than what we specified, to change time and date we always use:
Code:
date --set "2007-10-24 13:35"
hwclock --set --date="2007-10-24 13:35"
The only thing that I noted is that ntpd daemon was running, while in the rest of our plain box it is not running, maybe this is the reason the system is auto chaning the time?
Bs Best Tutorial And Reference Guide For RHEL And GUI Admin
Feb 18, 2008Is there a Windows GUI software for remote Admining servers that run on Red Hat Linux?
FYI: Currently I use Putty for remotely managing our servers.
So if you can recommend a GUI like Windows desktop software for remotely Admining servers running Red Hat Enterprise, I would very much appreciate that.
FYI: we have like 10 dedicated severs, so a desktop GUI that would allow one to monitor/manage multiple servers would be best. But if the GUI that you think is best can only remotely connect/manage one server at a time, requiring disconnecting to connect to the other server to Admin it, that is fine.
Also, I would love to hear what you think is the best book, best tutorial and reference guide for remotely Admining servers running RHEL? I am not looking for one of those books that are 1000 pages, but something that is a few 100 pages and can be read in 1 month assuming a few hours per day of reading.
Hypertown RedHat RHEL 5.2 Server Has Been Going Down Everyday
Jul 13, 2008For the past two weeks, our Hypertown RedHat RHEL 5.2 server has been going down everyday because of a wierd Kernel Panic problem.
Attached you can see what was displayed on the console at the time of the panic. This is what SoftLayer tech. support team was able to obtain from the console.
We are not using Samba or NFS-based applications.
Here is the server's info:

How To Install Ffmpeg On Centos/rhel, The Simple Way
Jun 7, 2007I seen where a lot of server management companies are charging big bucks for this, so this might save you some time and money.
First
Code:
nano -w /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
Insert
Code:
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
Then yum update and search for ffmpeg and install all ffmpeg packages including devel.
Seems there is some lib problems along the way so in /etc/ld.so.conf
add
/usr/local/lib
then
ldconfig -v
To install the php extension follow the simple directions on [url]
Then you should be all set!
Tried and tested on 2 different centos server, works fine.
Apache :: Identity Modules Compiled For RHEL
Apr 26, 2014I have 2.4.x version installed on RHEL and I need to install same version on Solaris 10. How can I find out what packages/modules were compiled for RHEL so that I can download same for Solaris and compile them.

Jul 8, 2008As cPanel is an integral part of server hosting and has the ability of compiling Apache 1.3.x with PHP4 (cgi) and PHP5 (dso) on your server OS.
Does anyone know or have baselines/benchmarks for which performs better generally for hosting: 32bit or 64bit RedHat 5 when cPanel 11 has compiled for the Apache and php mentioned above on either of these OS editions? (assume latest versions of apache/php4/5)
I was wondering if 32bit performed better or 64bit on a quad core Xeon. Don't forget PHP is compiled for prefork and not multi-threading for Apache 1.3.41 (which are considered legacy 32bit forked apps compiled against 64bit OS).
Or rephrased, could i be hampering performance by running it on a 64bit OS on a Xeon (X3210) or improving performance? I'd assume 64bit would offer better all round processing power, or is this a misconception.
I recently decided to get a server on RedHat Enterprise 5 X86_64 (64bit), when i wondered if 32bit version would have provided better performance and been the better options for compatibility.
Dell 1600SC DRAC3 No Keyboard Input With RHEL 5
Dec 18, 2007I just got a Dell 1600SC dual xeon 2.8 from the Planet with a Dell DRAC3 remote access card. In my RHEL3 system this hardware combination works great, but in the new RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 system the DRAC accepts no keyboard input after RHEL5 loads, thus making it impossible to login to the OS through the drac remote console redirect. Tech support suggested it was because the RedHat Enterprise 5 and CentOS5 kernel does not load the PS/2 keyboard driver which is required for the Drac3 to accept keyboard input. (a drac4 works, but that's not an option for this server I would guess.)
At tech support's suggestion, I added
atkbd.set=2
to the /boot/grub/grub.conf file
rebooting had no change - still text input to enter the bios, but no text input to login to the OS.
I also added
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 -word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=2 serial console
which I saw in /etc/grub.conf (which is not linked to /boot/grub/grub.conf but instead a separate file) but still no luck - no keyboard input accepted through the drac3 remote console to login to the os through the drac console redirect.
Has anyone solved this hardware/software combination? Or is RHEL5 simply not going to be backwards compatible with the Dell DRAC3 hardware?
Any ideas, suggestions, or solutions would be greatly appreciated as I've been working on getting a solution for this for a week now and no closer at this point.
I would really like to have the DRAC as a backup connection with my server incase any firewall or software update issue ever prevents me from connecting via ssh. I hate to have roll back to an older OS though to get it. I'm stuck.
