enable centos 5.5 for remote-to-local X display

X could be running with the -nolisten argument. I'm not sure about CentOS, but Debian sets this in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc.

Have you thought about forwarding X over ssh? [i]ssh -o ForwardX11=yes [/i] or [i]ForwardX11 yes[/i] in ~/.ssh/config.

Re: Need advice on updating to php 5.2 running Centos 5.5

CentOS 5.6 has some php53-* packages available, but you first need to uninstall the existing php packages. I don't know much about the these except that they don't seem to be updated very often (last was [url=http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0196.html]Feb 2011[/url]) and there's been a number ...

how do i look deeper into a PID??

I'm not sure if there's the possibility of Apache being unable to get status on a particular child process, race condition or otherwise spinning out of control, but you could use [i]lsof -p 10862[/i] to see what files/directories are open and maybe [i]strace -fp 10862[/i] to see what it's doing.

Re: VPS server with no web browser

[i]yum -y install firefox[/i] from the command line as root or with sudo. It's 3.6.18, if you need something newer you'll need to check for another repo or just download from Mozilla.

Re: Help moving drives to new hardware

The main problem I have when moving disks from one server to another at work is the SATA controller.. So I figure out what module I need (ahci) and add it to the current list (ata_piix), then rebuild initrd: /etc/modprobe.conf [code]alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix alias scsi_hostadapter1 ahci[/code]...

Re: Mysql Connection Just Dies?

Have you taken a look at /var/log/mysqld.log? Should be something useful in there. Could be some a handful of [url=http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/blocked-host.html]connection errors locking out the host(s)[/url] or maybe some memory condition causing the server to flip out. I usually set max...

How come CentOS sometimes reads one key press as a held-down

Could be a clock issue. I'm pretty sure I had the same problem on my old desktop and I had to change the clocksource to acpi_pm, or maybe that was because the clock ran fast. I don't remember anymore, could be worth a shot anyway. You can check the current clocksource with: [quote]# cat /sys/devices...

Configure RAM Usage

There's a [i]mem=[/i] kernel parameter (documented at http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt) which may be another way to artificially limit memory, although I don't know why you'd trade 8G physical for 4G+swap.

Apache VM Hosts

'mgldev' is not the same as 'mgldev.mistequaygroup.com'. When Apache tries to determine which vhost to use, it compares the value of the Host: header with the ServerName and ServerAlias directives in your configuration. If it doesn't find an exact or a wildcard match (* and ?), then vhost is ignored...

Re: RTL8111/8168B gigabit internet problem

Maybe it's having problem negotiating with the switch. I think had some problems maintaining a gigabit ethernet connection with this controller to a Netgear switch at home and I thought negotiation had something to do with it. I eventually put everything behind a D-Link router and I don't remember h...
