I was installing PHP 5.2 with GD support on a brand spanking new HD.
With a ./configure like:
./configure –enable-fastcgi –enable-discard-path –enable-force-redirect –with-gd –with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib –with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib
You will definitely need some dependencies. Here is how I solved them Read the rest of this entry »
I was installing lighttpd 1.5 the other day when I received this error:
configure: error: Package requirements (gthread-2.0 >= 2.4.0) were not met:
The new lighttpd 1.5 requires glib2-2.4.0 or greater. Thus, to install the necessary files, simply type:
# yum install glib2-devel
And you are all set.
The login banner is essential to legal actions taken against people who misuse and illegally hack into your box. There have been cases where the hackers got off because the server they hacked into actually “Welcomed” them into the system!
To change the login banner/welcome message, simply edit the /etc/issue file.
#vi /etc/issue
Should do the trick!
If you are finding this in your /var/log/messages file, it most likely means your Harddrive is failing or going to fail very soon.
I tried fscking it
# fsck /dev/hda
However that returned:
Couldn’t find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks…
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
Which means it definitely is the harddrive failing. Time to replace it!
