| craigbass1976 | I yum installed mysql, or tried to, but found that it was already installed. Grepped for the mysql rpm just in case, and it's there. No mysql or mysqld in /etc/init.d though, so I'm not sure how to start it. Did something change between cent4 and 5? |
| evil_steve | craigbass1976: did you install mysql or mysql-server? one's the client and one's the server |
| craigbass1976 | Grrr. Forgot. evil_steve, did it used to be yum install mysqld? |
| evil_steve | no, I was having to do a yum install mysql-server in 4.4 AFAICR |
| craigbass1976 | I must have always done it during the OS install with 4 then. |
| Evolution | it's been mysql-server for ages. |
| stormzen | I had a Centos 4.4 installation on a single CPU machine. I've upgraded to a Duo Core machine, and I'm upgrading my Centos 4.4 installation to a Centos 5 installation. Will I end up with the correct kernel to utilize both CPUs? |
| Evolution | stormzen: no. stormzen: though what you're saying sounds very much like you should just reinstall. you're upgrading machines, AND distro versions... why not just reinstall and then restore your data? |
| stormzen | Eeew... really don't want to reinstall, though... too much crap to figure out regarding security / permissions, etc. |
| Evolution | actually, there is no smp kernel anymore.. so yes. you would end up with the right one. |
| stormzen | ah. Guess I kind of lucked out there. ( I never got to the point where I was comfortable recovering the entire server ... just the data. ... and then I needed to upgrade the hardware. Well, as long I was upgrading the hardware, I figured I'd upgrade the software as well... bad choice, then? There is no SMP kernel anymore? FC6 has SMP kernel... Centos 5 really doesn't? |
| wolfy | stormzen: the default one is smp enabled |
| stormzen | ah. |
| donavan | s/default/only/ |
| Chipdancer | wolfy: yeah, have done that in the past, but was after something a little more practical for large networks |
| wolfy | for large networks setup your own local repo |
| Chipdancer | wolfy: I'm preferably after something that doesn't require an open fileshare but don't want to mirror entire distributions |
| wolfy | download (ftp, rsync, whatever) the stuff locally and point all your machines to your own repo mirror just the updates and mount -o loop the dvd image |
| Chipdancer | wolfy: already have the dvd image done like that |
| wolfy | so, what's the actual problem? just install a ftp or httpd server on one machine and make it share the /var/cache/yum dir if you don't want to create a real share although I see 0 gain in this approach |
| ptomter | how can I upgrade centos easily ? |
| donavan | ptomter: man yum |
| stormzen | anyone ever have the installation for Centos5 freeze on the last file? ( when upgrading ? ) |
| evil_steve | stormzen: when installing, yes, when upgrading, no |
| stormzen | Ok. What did you do when it froze when installing? ( I guess it never does it's run-once thing? ) |
