Red Hat Network Up2Date problem
by neil.derraugh＠sympatico.ca 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Hi, The up2date icon on my task bar (system tray?) is telling me there are 6 updates to be had (0 ignored). But when I run the app it, after querying the servers, it tells me that my system is up2date (sorry couldn't resist). This has been going on for several weeks (if not months). Any one know why? Or how to resolve this issue? Thanks, Neil Derraugh

un-dual boot XP & FC2 - 2 harddrives
by kate 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

un-dual boot XP & FC2 How do I correct the boot procedure? Neither will boot separately. How do I fix this? BACKGROUND I have 2 hardrives. hda is XP, and hdb is FC2, managed by Grub. I want to separate them. I bought drive trays, so when I want FC2, I put in FC2 tray. When I want XP, I put in XP tray. RESULT: not dual boot system. QUESTION how do I correct the boot procedure? WHAT I'VE TRIED I take out hdb (FC2) and boot hda XP only. I get: "GRUB hard disk error" I place FC2 as primary master and adjust jumper as master: " Booting from CD ROM <goes to next line and waits...forever> " So, I think that I need to re-write a mbr, but I'm out of my depth here. Any help appreciated. Kate __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y! Messenger - Communicate in real time. Download now. http://messenger.yahoo.com

I check ifconfig and route, even stop iptables, I still can't ping from or to my PC.

I'm not seeing where an FTP client is included in the current release of FC 2. Can anyone recommend a good one that I can yum for? TIA AB

advansys scsi == ouch
by John McBride 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

I was suprised to be doing hardware upgrades today while upgrading about 15 boxes to FC2. Mostly a matter of going to spares and getting some adaptec scsi cards and swapping out the advansys scsi cards. From what I can tell (doing web searches) the advansys scsi drivers are no longer considered stable--one has to rebuild the kernel/modules using "broken" drivers, which I won't do because I like keeping things stock (and yum updatable). There are workarounds, like the dkms stuff, but having used early versions of dkms for our nvidia cards, I'm very gun shy of dkms--lots of problems with it, at least for me. Sure caught me by suprise. It's unusual (in my limited experience) to see kernel level support move backwards in this manner. What was advansys thinking when they dropped the ball on kernel 2.6? (rhetorical question). "Thanks" adaptec for staying on top of things. I had enough spare adaptecs to sort things out. FC2 is working out very well for us (two days of testing and things are great). --- John

Problems with SCSI controller and sym53c8xx module
by Johan Totterman 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Hello, I'm running FC 2 with a 2.6.8-1.521 kernel. My goal is to configure two or more Symbios Logic 53C875J PCI SCSI controllers on my machine and run a couple of Unisys SCSI disk arrays through them. When I install only one of the Symbios controllers, everything goes smoothly, the sym53c8xx module loads beautifully and all my SCSI devices are attached properly. However, when I install a second Symbios card into my machine I run into problems. I have tried all my tricks, but I still can't get throuh the modprobe. This is what it says: [root@d84 root]# modprobe sym53c8xx sym0: Symbios NVRAM, ID 14, Fast-20, HVD, parity checking sym0: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM sym0: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware. sym0: SCSI BUS has been reset. sym1: Symbios NVRAM, ID 15, Fast-20, HVD, parity checking sym1: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM sym1: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware. sym1: SCSI BUS has been reset. sym1:0:0: ABORT operation started. sym1:0:0: ABORT operation timed-out. sym1:0:0: DEVICE RESET operation started. sym1:0:0: DEVICE RESET operation timed-out. sym1:0:0: BUS RESET operation started. sym1:0:0: BUS RESET operation timed-out. sym1:0:0: HOST RESET operation started. sym1: SCSI BUS has been reset. This output is from a run where I don't have any disks physically attached to the controllers. All ports are terminated properly. If I attach my disk arrays, I can see the module load all the disks that are atached to the first controller, but it still hangs in the same way as when ran without any disks. The modprobe hangs and won't exit/finish. Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem? Are there some parameters that I should give the sym53c8xx module? Have I missed something important in the Symbios PCI BIOS? Thanks in advance for any ansvers! -johan totterman

I think it is the user apache runs as which on fedora is either apache or nobody. (I think that depends on : if you installed from source or RPM : files) : Then you would need 770 permissions which mean the owner and the group have read/write permissions and others (the world) : have no permissions on that file. : (770 translates to -rwxrwx---) Hi Yepp Yepp!!! This did the trick :-) Changed group owner to apache (which is the user and group my apache runs under) Did'nt find any user/group in the php.conf file so it looks like it using the same user as the web server - like you said. I changed the permission to 770 and tested the guestbook and everything works just fine. Thanks -Øyvind
