Hostname, Packages...

[Jeremy]

I need to install cacti http://www.cacti.net/, and it needs php-snmp and php-mysql

i would type as root, yum install php-snmp php-mysql.

i get

--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: dsmphp for package: dsm-system
--> Processing Dependency: dsmapache for package: dsm-system
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: dsmphp is needed by package dsm-system
Error: Missing Dependency: dsmapache is needed by package dsm-system

There's more but that's the end, just the list of packages as you know.

Also i need to change my hostname to "signout" same IP 216.152.254.***

Can i have the IP where your systems check if the server is online. The one you ping from. I dont wish to leave the system up and pingable we saddly get DDoS a lot. And ill allow from your IP. (if possible)

thank you.

ps i have sent a e-mail to support but no reply, i cant get any e-mail on domain because of the hostname problem. may i PM the admin on reply

You should be submitting support request at http://support.zervex.com and not sending in emails.

To change the hostname on your machine log in and type the commands below being sure to substitute "new_hostname" with the new host name that you would like.

hostname new_hostname

Then modify the /etc/sysconfig/network file with the new_hostname.

The php mysql module (php-mysql) is already installed and part of the ServerCP php build. You will need to do a custom php build if you would like to include the snmp module. To do a custom php build you can follow the instructions located on the php website without using the apache build instructions as you do not need to rebuild apache.

*Keep in mind that once you go to a custom build of php you can no longer use the zervex updater to update your php version to the latest stable release. All php updates/upgrades will need to be done manually.

i thought the hostname has to match your records?

[LeeJ]

no, just the ip address the hostname is now pulled from the server.

[Jeremy]

ahh i wish i knew that.

thank you! <3!!!
