Other than "the same for the client AND the server", does the NFSv4 domain name have to be set to anything in particular?
I mean, does it have to be some domain in my LAN or something?
I have a server running CentOS (with Fasthosts UK).
Running a "yum upgrade" lists - and processes - a LOT of packages that it has upgrades for. Everything is downloaded and installed.
The problem is that if I do a subsequent "yum upgrade", it list all the same upgrades again! As if it was only running as a simulation and didn't really apply any upgrades.
This effectively means that I can't upgrade any of the software packages on my server ("yum upgrade specificpackage" also has the same problem) and so I wondered if anybody has any kind of experience or advice about this?
Is this a CentOS issue or a Fasthosts issue?
PS. FWIW there is also Plesk intalled on this server.
I have an issue with a fresh install of pmWiki (and I see the same Q on http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Questions * but with no answer posted!) and I wonder if anybody knew anything about it or how to solve it.
I've been playing with pmWiki on my local and I LOVE it. I'm installing it now for one of my client's intranet, and ostensibly the install has gone swimmingly.
BUT, when I make an edit to a page and click "Save", the new text that I have added dissappears and no change is saved. The change is not even preserved in the textarea. Clicking "Save" seems to remove any text that I add to the page.
wiki.d folder is 777, and I've installed everything as per my successful install on my local.
Well, any (relevant) comments are welcome I guess ;-)
I note that the xp-dev.com website (delegated SVN space) offers a regular HTTP login page but this page then has link to a "secure login" which is a login page but under SSL.
I wonder what the point of defaulting to HTTP was when surely an SSL login page would be better anyway?
Is it a browser compatibility issue? Do any other websites do this?
I kind of know why glue records are needed (cyclic dependencies), but when are they needed? Are they only needed when setting a domain's nameservers to my own machine on the internet - like "ns1.mydomainonmyserver.com" ??
Is there any need / point in making glue records when using external / hosting provider's nameservers?
The "file and printer sharing" feature of Linux distros is mostly Samba. Samba is an interpretation of Microsoft's network filesystem.
Cross-OS compatibility is important of course but why are Linux systems defaulting to this Microsoft technology?
Is Microsoft's network filesystem so good? Samba clearly works very well and I'm not "dissing" it.
Or, to rephrase the question, "What would be a Linux-native way to share files and printers across a network?"
