actually Thank you Wael, your How to's make my life as an admin a lot easier :)

I just had a problem with named, it put it in chroot and I had to copy my old config over to it.
Gotta love DA, we have a cpanel server and updated it and it went all to hell. I also notice about cpanel you can get some of their updates, even the stable ones and totaly screw **** up. I never had that happen with DA, nor have I ever broke anything and not been able to fix it. IF only DA was as popular with shared hosting clients I would be happier. It has been pretty hard for me to sell.

DA is great actually.. I like its simplicity and my biz hosting customers love it.

and I love it as an admin easy to update and well seems our little community here is growing.

I can't wait for the guys over at DA to work on being able to work with remote servers ( DA can control a remote SQL server at the moment so we are heading out the right direction)

I forsee DA getting more intrest over time.. :)

[felosi]

damn they really need to update these apps, that update screwed my openssl and installed 0.97a from febuary 2003, Red hat patches or not lots of this stuff is still old as hell.

CentOS-Base.repo

# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS.
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

That did the trick

[Dualdot]

*edit*
Never mind, I fixed my problem

[Jay]

Dead Box after following the directions above.

Time to rebuild :(

[felosi]

I just had problems with the bind chroot on that update. I didnt do that above, just did yum update and I had to go back and uncomment some lines in the repo afterwards

[Jay]

Was able to get it back working - UGGGG

In a nut shell - it looks like the theme that is upgraded with the system was corrupt or something to that effect. I was able to boot into the command line mode and then make the modificaitons to the grub.conf file so it only boots into text mode - getting away from the damn graphic mode. Once I did that had to rebuild apache and php and all is happy once again... ;)
