I’ve completely neglected this site over the last week or two and I’m disappointed I completely brok my goal of posting every day. And it’s not that I don’t have much to post about either; I bought an iPhone, I’ve got a lot of tutorials for CentOS on Media Temples (dv) plan, I moved off of Trac and went with Warehouse for all my repos and there are some great projects I’m working on mostly all on Wordpress. There’s just…
The CentOS upgrade went well this afternoon, golf this morning didn’t go so well. Although, it’s just a “practice” round for the County Championship that will be played out the next three days in the wee hours when I’m normally dead asleep. Hopefully, I’ll stay relaxed and do well tomorrow at a course I haven’t played at in 4 years. [Link] (0)
Well the path from CentOS 4.4 > 5 didn’t go so well. I mistakingly restarted the box before I could make sure everything was okay and now I can’t SSH into it after the restart. Hope it’s not too much work for the (mt) guys. [Link] (0)
I’m going to hold off from posting a review of Media Temple’s (dv) (VPS) plan for another date, probably after I’m completely happy with the setup and I have some more experience with how they handle support and uptime.
So far the support has been outstanding. Currently I’m on the base dedicated virtual plan that (mt) offers but without Plesk. This was a major requirement for me in moving to (mt). Thanks to their awesome support they provisioned my system fairly…
One of the first things I did on my Media Tempe (dv) was install webmin because I’m a huge fan of easy it let’s you manage your web/server, e.g. web interface to quickly change config files or restart particular services without having to login through SSH.
A more official description:
Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to…
I’m officially on mediatemple now and after getting my VPS or (dv) cleansed of plesk I noticed Yum was not installed. I’m planning on doing a full writeup after a few days but for now I’ll get this tutorial on how to install Yum on CentOS 4 out of the way.
First off you’ll need to install a key from the centos mirrors,
# rpm –import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4
Next let’s start installing yum,
# rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.3-3.el4.centos.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.3-3.el4.centos.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
