NoProbs...
at least on Sat/Sun when I tried :-D

Seriously the rpms:
mysql-3.23.58-2.3
mysql-devel-3.23.58-2.3
mysql-server-3.23.58-2.3
...are the original tried&trusted (=a bit old :-) )RHE/Centos ones ...
What do you expect ? Where ?

Chris,

It was on the developers list ...
I sure thought it's in  the forum already...
(since people are fielding questions and I've answered several already)

What do you reckon, eh?

Bug reports via either the tracker at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smeserver/
or the bug tracker at contribs.org please. Just bugs please, no feature
requests, no complaints.

[I'm heading off on vacation for a week (heading over your direction), so
don't expect any immediate followup.]

Thanks

Sorry, should have been more specific. We use the SME with our JDBC java classes to implement a SIP PBX. I noticed that with version 5.6 of SME we had problems and it turned out to be an interaction between glibc and glibc-common. The symptioms are when you try to connect to the database the mysql server dies. The error message is the server lost connection during a query. That same thing is happening now with sme7.0. I noticed that the version of mysql is the same as the one I am running on my fedora laptop, but the fedora2 versions of glibc and glibc-common are much newer than those in the repository for centos and version 7.0 of SME. When I try to connect to SME7.0 with mysql-control center I get the same error as with 5.6. I figured that it would be easier to test with a strandard piece of software like Mysql control center than with jdbc. The end result is the same however.

So just to tie this one up, here's the scoop on what you have to do to make SMEV7 work with the MKC7000 server and other applications that use JDBC.

It turns out that the configuration for mysql changed between SME5.6 and SME6.0/7.0. mysql is no longer enabled to listen on interfaces other than localhost.

Other things that came out of the integration exercise were:

 - The location for cgi scripts has changed, it's
   now part of the ibays tree. Still working on
   this one, we seem to have a protection problem.
 - Options specified in the dhcp server need to be
   declared at the top of the dhcpd.conf file
   (Change the SME templates). "dhcpd.conf" files from
   SME5.6 won't work.

With these things out of the way, I managed to verify that our application works on SMEV7. More theseting to come...stay tuned...

Tried it but gave up sme 6.5 seems alright

1 week of running and no problems yet.

Sme 7.0 is missing a few programs

Midnight commander - nice for finding files check a log from the console without remembering where it's at simple to copy a template

Pico - don't need to learn vi Pico is simple commands at bottom of screen

phpmyadmin contrib did not want to work - maybe just needed a reboot though

cache manager contrib did not work

Not as many administration features on web interface

my 2 cents
Title: 7.0a3 QoS vs 6.x
Post by: dmajwool on March 05, 2005, 12:16:40 AM
A while back in
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=26183.msg106432#msg106432
I asked about a QoS issue - A default SME6.x times out for a moment every hour or two. I checked cron jobs, and nothing obvious jumped out.

A default new install of SME v7.0a3 hasn't been exhibiting this issue.

HTH, David

I commend you Charlie for your continued work on Sme

I have just got use to a few programs as we all have and hate to change. I found a link about nano it will do still working on midnight commander it is just easier for me to quickly find
a file such as a template without remembering the name.

thanks for your continued work !

mc isn't part of RHEL, so doesn't come with CentOS. I'd try each of the RH9 and FC* mc RPMs in turn until one installs cleanly. Failing that, you'll need to find one built for WBEL or CentOS, or build your own.

thanks for your continued work !


No worries. Thanks for saying so.
Title: MC: Midnight commander

MC is included in both Centos 3 & Centos 4.

System settings > Add remove applications > Enter the root password > System tools and select MC

Really? I see it in CentOS 4, but I can't see any sign of it in CentOS 3. If I'm wrong, please provide a URL.

Thanks

See the release notes for 6.0.

I don't think that there's any change here.

No, but you shouldn't expect that they would. All custom templates should be checked very carefully with any upgrade. I'd recommend that all custom templates be removed for an upgrade, then re-installed one by one as they are verified to still be appropriate.
