Problem on creating Virtual Users

[satimis]

Hi folks,

CentOS 4.4 x86_64

I followed;
Virtual Users With Postfix, PostfixAdmin, Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAV On CentOS
http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_us..._clamav_centos

and was stuck on;
[vmail@localhost root]$ sudo yum install libtool postgresql-devel gdbm-devel pam-devel expect openldap-devel

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things:

        #1) Respect the privacy of others.
        #2) Think before you type.

Password:

I don't know the password. What shall I enter here.

I looked around "man visudo" and can't figure out how to add;

User_Alias ADMIN = satimis

ADMIN ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD : ALL

Pls advise. TIA

Hi folks,

I solved the password problem by re-editing /etc/sudoers as follows

vmail ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Still encountered following problem;

[vmail@localhost satimi]$ sudo yum install libtool postgresql-devel gdbm-devel pam-devel expect openldap-devel

I have been googling around but can't find which repo provides "postgresql = 7.4.16-1.RHEL4.1"

Any suggestion? TIA

What happens when you run

yum install postgresql postgresql-devel

?

Folks on postgresql advised me either complain to CentOS or download the packages on their website to proceed.

Now I have following packages download on their/mirror sites:-

1)
ftp://ftp.is.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/binary/v7.4.16/linux/rpms/fedora/fedora-core-6-x86_64
Download following postgresql packages (FC6);
postgresql-7.4.16-1PGDG.x86_64.rpm
postgresql-devel-7.4.16-1PGDG.x86_64.rpm
postgresql-server-7.4.16-1PGDG.x86_64.rpm

published on 02.08.2007

2)
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/postgresql/binary/v7.4.16/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-es-4-x86_64
Download following postgresql packages (RH)
postgresql-7.4.16-1PGDG.x86_64.rpm
postgresql-devel-7.4.16-1PGDG.x86_64.rpm
postgresql-server-7.4.16-1PGDG.x86_64.rpm

published on 02.06.2007

I hesitate which of them will be the right packages for me. (I suppose "rhel-es-4-x86_64" packages will be more appropriate)

Secondly I don't know whether I have to run;
1)
# yum groupremove postgresql

OR

2)
# yum remove postgresql

I have been turning around here for 2 days. I got no advice on CentOS 4 forum.

It seems your package database is really messed up. Maybe you should try a clean reinstall...

OK. I started already, erasing the complete HD and following following howto to install CentSO 4.4 x86_64;

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_centos_4.4

I encountered some problems during installing CentOS 4.4. I'll post all problems here under a new topic after finish.

Tks.

Hate to bump and old thread, but you've installed the RPMForge (or Dag) repository for CentOS 5/RHEL 5, rather than CentOS 4/RHEL 4.

A clean install would be best, but you could edit out your repository list and enter in the correct version instead if you didn't want to reinstall.

Hi aogo,

This OS has been erased. A clean new installation has been made. This thread has been replaced with another thread;

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11964

But still I can't complete the installation as described in the howto.
