CentOS php-common during updating PHP 5.2.13 version trouble

By -
I went stumble with this php-common package which errs when I tried to install the PHP 5.2.13 version.

So what I did, I do the command

yum whatprovides php-curl
And the result gives me the following lines below:

Indeed, I do have 5.3.2--the latest PHP release, as of this posting--but I do need yet 5.2 version because of incompatibilities with the code which has done thru a rigorous testing.

Since php-common has (-) dash inside the string, so I issue this command to remove the package php-common

yum remove php*5*3*
My main purpose of removing it was that, I installed the PHP 5.3 which is not the needed version of PHP I want, and php-common confuses the installation/update, indeed backward installation.

After this, installing PHP by issuing the command
yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=webtatic --exclude=php*5.3* install php

installs everything that I need. Notice the repository named "webtatic", I installed this repo from it's website, or read this link how did I grab it or you can also try this repo from remi


Issuing the command

php -v

shows

Using Oracle 11g thru VirtualBox appliance in Mac OS X Lion

By -

I just found that its quite a lot of handy work to make Oracle work in Mac OS X Lion. Currently, I have this quite cool machine with good memory anyway, so I decided to step the easy way, than the "too-much-time-to-work way". So, I just decided to use VirtualBox with Oracle's pre-built virtual appliance with Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition. To use this, I use the steps below. 1. Download VirtualBox at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/databaseappdev-vm-161299.html 2. Download the virtual appliances at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/databaseappdev-vm-161299.html then just follow the steps. 3. I added some specific ports, since I access it thru  NAT so whenever I am, it's easier for me just to hook up my virtual appliance and turn it on. So you can issue these command in your terminal, $> VBoxManage modifyvm "OTN Developer Days" --natpf1 "ssh,tcp,,2222,,22" $> VBoxManag

LVM: How to remove a volume using pvremove

By -
First, I encountered this error "Can't pvremove physical volume "/dev/sdc1" of volume group "nova-volumes" without -ff" (I'm actually using OpenStack but it's another story). So to remove this, do first, ~# pvscan   PV /dev/sdb1   VG nova-volumes    lvm2 [1.82 TiB / 1.82 TiB free]   PV /dev/sda5   VG cloudmaster     lvm2 [297.85 GiB / 12.00 MiB free]   PV /dev/sdc1                      lvm2 [1.82 TiB]   Total: 3 [3.93 TiB] / in use: 2 [2.11 TiB] / in no VG: 1 [1.82 TiB] Then, when I do, ~# pvremove /dev/sdc1  Can't pvremove physical volume "/dev/sdc1" of volume group "nova-volumes" without -ff So I need to, ~# vgreduce nova-volumes /dev/sdc1   Removed "/dev/sdc1" from volume group "nova-volumes" Then do `pvscan` again, ~# pvscan   PV /dev/sdb1   VG nova-volumes    lvm2 [1.82 TiB / 1.82 TiB free]   PV /dev/sda5   VG cloudmaster     lvm2 [297.85 GiB / 12.00 MiB free]   PV /dev/

Use Shell Editor for Eclipse for editing bash, ksh, csh in Unix/Linux system

By -

I found ShellEd when googling for any shell editor. It was trouble at first because there's no  how-to that directs me, where I expect to have a direct link that I can copy-en-paste to my Eclipse for installation. So what I did, I download ShellEd (as of this writing file version ShellEd-Update-2.0.0_M3.zip) from sourceforge.net and install, as required, the Linux Tools . After installing Linux Tools, I then locate thru archive the ShellEd zip file and install it successfully. It works good and I feel satisfied with this cool tool to be embedded in eclipse. The sample attached shell script is from JBoss twiddle. It does supports syntax highlighting, intellisense which is cool. Hope this helps.
