Fedora vs CentOS -- php/apache and Drupal 7
by Roger
This is a call for understanding because of lack of knowledge. Apologies
for the mix of issues in one message but they all relate to the same
problem.
Firstly,
I've been reading the pro's and con's of RHEL and Fedora and am none the
wiser. It seems to be around cost of service and lack or availability
thereof. The beginning discussion was, I think on stability.
It made me start thinking about Fedora vs CentOS because of the problems
I'm experiencing with Drupal 7 and php/Apache in Fedora 18 so here goes.
I believe that the latest Apache updates of some time ago were flawed or
do not correctly interact with php or php updates were flawed and have
not been corrected. I have nothing to back up this assertion other than
the problems now being experienced and a recommendation to remove php
5.4 and revert to an earlier version.
Please don't quote me on this, It's what I've noticed, read and considered.
When I use Ruby on Rails I do not have issues because it uses WEBrick.
Discussion to date says that CentOS circa 6.n has the Fedora 14 kernel,
is rock solid and gets updates every 6 months approx.
Fedora 18 has kernel updates every few days or weeks at most. Frankly I
enjoy the update cycle. It's interesting to see what gets improved. I
have always run latest Fedora versions and have not experienced the
current raft of problems.
Fedora 18 sudo yum update, updates everything apps, modules, etc that
needs security fixes or improvements.
CentOS is a server system but can be used for a stable desktop system
and has been recommended as an alternative.
So what does CentOS 6.n desktop, yum update actually update or does it
leave all the apps like cinnamon desktop, skype, gimp, apache, php,
libreoffice, python, pulseaudio, gnome, Firefox or chrome as they are
first installed, circa Fedora 14ish?
One would think that this would leave significant vulnerability.
If it runs the latest spate of updates then is it not little different
from Fedora 18 but with an old kernel?
Further reading implies that the better CentOS installation should be
text based as a server only and that I should run all my work on the
server not Fedora 18.
I am now having significant problems with an already built Drupal 7 site
on Fedora 18 after the latest spate of php updates and am perplexed as
to what to do to get a quality stable functioning and stay functioning.
I've got ubuntu 12.10 but it is now so slow that it's not easy to use.
Further, I have 2 gig memory, intel mb, fast dual cpu, 250g hard drives
and my desktop fedora 18 uses 55-63 percent memory. I thought this may
be affecting php and apache, hence Drupal, but
The Dell 1520 laptop has the same internals and memory and uses
25percent of the 2 gig memory, same drupal, same Ruby on Rails.
I'm puzzled because after checking ps aux, top, and System Monitor on
both they are very similar yet memory usage is markedly different. I do
not know what I should be looking at to understand the issues and/or fixes.
Is there an app that I can use to track what happens in the browser,
apache, php and Drupal when I start the Drupal site on my machine.
Help is greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
Roger
Off Topic...Does anyone know of a Rails dev who would be able to help
and teach me building a small application?
Thanks again

how to create iso9660 archive.
by William Mattison
(fedora-18, all desktops)
I would like to burn a single dvd with an ISO9660 - Rock Ridge - Joliet file made from:
* /home/user1/project17/
* /home/user2/project17/
* /home/user2/.hidden/
Each of these directories has multiple levels of subdirectories. user1 and user2 each has other directories directly under his $HOME directory. I tried to use "Brasero" to do this. But the ISO file it created was a mere 71.7 KB, though these three directories contain over 600 MB of files. I get the impression that the tool only looked one level below what I dragged to the right side of the screen. I need it to go all the way down, like a "cp -r". On my old Redhat 9 system, X-CD-Roast handled that beautifully. I also tried this with another tool whose name I now cannot now recall or find. It was worse. How do I do this with Fedora-18?
Thank-you in advance for your help.
Bill.

Display Problem?
by mike
After using Fedora for years mostly through the Gnome Desktop
environment, I decided to run up F18 x86_64 on my test bed as a Web
Server. This is all command line but, no problem.
I got all parts of the LAMP environment installed and running to include
my preferred ftp server and was ready to start a WordPress environment,
that means a browser. No problem Firefox installed so start Firefox.
"Error: No Display Specified"
I am not sure where to look for a correction for that or even if I am
asking in the right place. Is this a Fedora fix or should I be begging
for enlightenment over in the Mozilla neighborhood.
Well, I needed to get better at command line anyway!
Thanks

Once again: is it a keyring password? What does the dialogue box say
exactly?
poc
Roughly it says:
Enter the passwd for the user person2
(user akonstam(a)sbcgloblaa.net host: pop.att.yahoo.com)
Passwd ...........................................
O Enter passwd into your keyring
But when I run seahorse I see no passwd in the keyring.

Problem with cron
by Joe Zeff
I have my computers registered with the Linux Counter, and my main
desktop machine is supposed to update its status once a week, using a
cron job:
# added by lico-update.sh version 0.3.14
58 11 * * 4 /home/joe/bin/lico-update.sh -m
The permissions on the script are right, and if run manually, it works.
This worked fine under Fedora 16, but doesn't now that I'm running F
17. Does anybody know what's happened, or how to find out?

Is it a keyring password? Which desktop do you use? Also, you didn't
give the version of Evo you're using.
poc
The desktop in Gnome and the version of evolution is:
evolution-3.6.4-3.fc18.x86_64

F18 OpenJDK 7 caused crash in Java Image Editor -> GTK file requester (fixed with OpenJDK7 update)
by Fernando Cassia
Just FYI...
The OpenJDK 7 build of Java included in the Fedora 18 LiveCD includes
a bug that causes
Java Image Editor http://www.jhlabs.com/ie/ (a Paint Shop Pro
look-alike written in Pure Java) to crash when trying to open a file.
Luckily, after updating to the latest OpenJDK 7, the app works fine!.
This is what the console shows after I click on File->Open and select
a PNG file...
