Yum [centos 4.5]
Feb 23, 2008
I've just leased my first dedicated server from managemybox, which has come loaded with centos 4.5.
I need to install all the ffmpeg/transcoding junk - something I've done before...
...but now, I'm having huge issues. Yum and up2date don't seem to have *any* idea of where anything, from ffmpeg to flvtool2 is.
I'm crap at quite a bit (read most) of the command line stuff. Whadddoo I need to do? Why is yum telling me there are no matches for the damn stuff?
How can I get from A to B properly without the hassle?
I did have a VPS before, with memset.com - and all this stuff installed fine on Fedora 4 (it was a VMWare based VPS so everything worked, unlike the Xen based ones I've experienced).

What is the difference between CentOs 5.0 and Centos 4.5? (Both contains Plesk)
Would CentOS 5 contain more updates and fixes? CentOS 4.5 be more stable?

I've made a how to, based on my personal knowledge about upgrading a CentOS 3, RedHat 9, or 8?, Fedora Core, and maybe others, to the new CentOS 4.5 OS. (or CentOS 4.x)

Please post, comments, questions, etc. here.
I've myself upgraded many servers this way, (even, tonight, I upgraded another, so I finally decided to do this with all my notes)

linux and after several days testing different distributions and a bunch of different ways (e.g. freenx,vnc XFCE ...) I've decided to setup a vnc-server on CentOS-5-i386-minimal and use KDE as a desktop environment.
After reloading my vps with centos-5-i386-minimal, I logged in as root and executed:
Code:
yum update
yum -y groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
yum -y install vnc vnc-server firefox X11 xorg
I then added a user "abt" and set the password. Then I logged in as abt and execute : vncserver, it asked for the password and created the appropriate .vnc directory and files.
I then edited xstartup file and replaced "twm &" with "startkde &" and executed vncserver once again, this created desktop number 2 for me.
The problem is that after running TightVNC(on vista) and entering IPNUMBER:2, It successfully connects to vnc-server but what i get is a black screen with X cursor!

Is there really no package in yum for APC (Alternative PHP Cache)? Everything I'm seeing suggests I build it from source.
Is this the way to go? I can, it just seems unlikely to me that there's no build of it.

I would like to get a second opinion on this. I was going to put CentOS 64 bit on my server but I have been told to put the 32 bit version on it instead because it is a more stable version. I have never heard this before and am new to doing colo and would like to verify this before I end up doing something I may forget?

I have been using Centos for several years but have not been a user long enough to see what happens when the new version comes out.
I expect Centos 4 will be around a while however how quickly are hosting companies planning to adopt Centos 5?

I've recently started using apt on centos, using the tutorial I found on dag's site. So far I'm enjoying it, since I have years and years of experience running debian unstable.
Are there any caveats? Has anyone here tried doing a dist-upgrade to a new version (say CentOS 5)?

Why does CentOS come w/ such an outdated PHP package? IS it modified to fix the bugs, but the version number stayed the same?
I would like to upgrade to PHP 4.4.6 - are there any issues I should be aware of? This is my 1st Linux box and installing software is not something I am really comfortable with yet.

im running centos and have a fairly high-end server. yet my services seem to be running a bit sluggish. is there a way to differntiate if its the server or the connection?
using free -m -t im only using half of my ram
(i dont know the command to check how much of my processors im using). im going to assume that that is also 50% or below. if any one has this command please let me know. if its not either of those im guessing its either bad routing be bounced everywhere, or some more localize like datacenter issue, bad router or something.
on a side note whast the command to restart sftp?
