[servertweak]

[jlasman]

I've been chomping at the bit, but I'm going to wait until others figure out if there are any errors.

[servertweak]

same here ,

[servertweak]

has anyone upgrade from 3.4 to 4 yet

[netswitch]

I will try to setup DA on a customer's server tomorrow, I had to install centOS 4 on it to have all hardware recognised without messing with kernel patches.

I ll tell you if it works fine.



But it is quite annoying the DA team doesn't gives compatibility feedback faster.
(it is now 20 days CentOS 4 is available, installing and testing should take ~25 mins)

OK, they support RHEL not CentOS but we have no info en RHEL 4 neighter.

I feel ya
My server is running 3.4 and would like to upgrade to 4

if you can, install 3.4 then install DA. run upgrade to 4

please advise of any problems


I another server running centos 4 with no problems, but like to know 3.4 upgrade to 4 would run into any

[netswitch]

Looks like it is working like a charm, no problems encountered during install (after installing gpg keys and disabling the too strict default firewall from centos4)


oops, I have been too fast, it seems ther is a problem with exim's setup and teh package da pop3smtpd

[servertweak]

you have the latest pop3?

[netswitch]

Yes, it is solved now, it was requiring a lib that centos doesn't installs by default.

Installing the proper retrocompatibility package solved the issue.

[manny2008]

Are you using CentOS 4 with DA?

[netswitch]

yes

[manny2008]

Are you using CentOS 4 in 32 or 64 bit? Any problems with it and DA?

[netswitch]

32 bits, if you read the entire post, you know I insdtalled it just yesterday and had a few small issues

GREAT , has anyone ran an uprade to 4 ?

[rtetzloff]

Can I ask how you installed it? Whenever I try, I get errors saying that files aren't found, because it's looking for the RHEL 4.0 directory from DirectAdmin.

[jlasman]

Are you referring to the /etc/redhat-release file?

If so, it needs to say 3.3.

Note that this response does not indicate any representation or warranty that upgrading to CentOS 4 will not completely break your server. NoBaloney.Net has NOT yet tried it and makes no representations or warranties concerning the use of RHEL 4.x or any of it's open source compiles with DirectAdmin.

[rtetzloff]

Ahh, thank you. We're installing it on a fresh install of CentOS 4, not upgrading it for a customer. The customer is fully aware that it's not officially supported, etc.

[netswitch]

Here is what we did and what seems to be running fine :
-Fresh centOS4 installl (custom install with named and developpment tools)
-In order to be able to install DA we needed to dwonload and install the GPG keys
-In order to habe DApopb4smtpd properly set up I had to install a package of libs (don"t remember exactly wich one.. I ll note it at the next install)

[jodasi]

- Donwload and install GPG keys? Ths default GPG keys wont work?

Netswitch: What licence did you ordered? RHEL 3.0 ?

I'm willing to try on CentOS 4 too

[Doublehomme]

I am also going to install DA on centos 4.0 this saturday...
But in my license the Operating Systems is RH Enterprise 3.0; is this going to work or do I first have to contact the direct admin support?

[netswitch]

gpg keys werent present in the standart centos4 install.

I used a red hat enterprise 3 licence

[jlasman]

CentOS doesn't include the keys; you have to import them separately.

You'll need to change your /etc/redhat-release file so it says:

White Box Enterprise Linux release 3.0 (Liberation Respin 2)

for the RHEL 3 version of DA to install on CentOS 4.

Note we've NOT tested DA with CentOS/WBEL4/RHEL4, and we make no representations that it will or won't work.

Jeff

[Doublehomme]

I've installed DA with Centos 4.0
there were only some small problems; Exim didnt seem to work.
I used a solution John gave elsewhere in the forum:
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/da_exim-4.50-2.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild da_exim-4.42-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
rpm -ivh --force da_exim-4.42-1.i386.rpm


An other problem was with the imap.
I noticed it when I tried squirrelmail, I got the following error:
ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server.
When i tried telnet localhost 143 it got the following error:
error while loading shared libraries:
libcom_err.so.3: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
I solved it with the following:
ln -s /usr/lib/libcom_err.so /usr/lib/libcom_err.so.3

Untill now it's working like a charm

[ldjnetworks]

Its been about 10 days since the last post. Can anyone who has installed DA & CentOS4 report back on any new issues you may have discovered during use? I'm going to give this a try soon.

[servertweak]

i 2nd this request, please advise i do need more feedback

[redeye]

I have it running for about 1 week now, no problems other then reported in this threat with also the sollutions. Works fine here. Everything needed to know can be found on this forum, just seach for centos.

[ldjnetworks]

Thats good to hear. I'm going to give it a go this weekend. I'll let you know if I have any new problems.

[sohaib]

Is Centos 4 officially out ! Does any one else got that Exim problem as the user specified.

Thanks

[consultorpc]

Make sure you have xinetd installed, if not use:

yum install xinetd

and then use this script you can see in others posts:

rm -f /usr/sbin/imapd
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./imapd.sh

Also check if you have your lookback interface up:

ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1

And try again, that should be enough.

I don't know if DA staff has ever marked it official but it's working fine for us and we've installed it on lots of servers. In fact I finished one tonight and I have another to do either tonight or first thing tomorrow.

No problems.
