  Solution

  
  See the error messages in /var/log/xend-debug.log.
  I had too few memory on the host system. I have reduced the memory amount of the master system down to 200 MB:
  

  xm mem-set 0 200

  
  Then, re-launch the xenguest-install.py script and assign the necessary 256 MB for the guest system.

  Apaches does not start anymore 2006-06-20 13:19
  [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence
  
  
  Solution
  
  Check first, if you had doubled ssl*.conf's in your conf.d directory. This is usually the case when you manually make backup copies of your configuration file.

  newaliases / aliases.db out of date 2005-11-08 08:41
  sendmail[13430]: alias database /etc/aliases.db out of date
  
  This might have the case you installed courier imap on this host and its installation has replaced newaliases by an alternative that rises a conflict with a running "real" Sendmail.
  
  

  Solution

  Just make sure you are using the newaliases that points to Sendmail by (re-)creating this symlink:
  rm -f /usr/bin/newaliases
  ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/bin/newaliases

  What does this mean?
  
  It means the controller sent the drive a command it doesn't understand, and the drive returned "Eh ?"
  This happens for eg when we try to use modern features
  like SMART on old drives that don't support them.

  Mysql Connect fails «does not support authentication protocol» 2005-05-08 16:32
  Problem: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
  
  

  Cause:

  MySQL's password hashing has been changed since mysql 4.1 (41 bytes instead of 16 bytes length)
  
  PASSWORD(), GRANT, and SET PASSWORD generate long hashes unless the server was started with the --old-passwords option. That option forces the server to generate short password hashes instead.
  
  

  2 Solutions

  a) Start mysqld_safe with additional option --old-passwords.
  You may then set passwords as usual with:
  mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'apache'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('foo');
  
  or b) Use the "OLD_" key:
  mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'apache'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('foo');

  Sendmail: How To Set the hostname? 2005-04-16 00:38
  

  Problem: You want to see the real hostname at Sendmail's welcome message instead of «localhost.localdomain»

  # telnet localhost 25
  Trying 127.0.0.1...
  Connected to foo.example.com (127.0.0.1).
  Escape character is '^]'.
  220 localhost.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.1/8.13.1; Sun, 17 Apr 2005 00:37:56 +0200
  quit
  

  Solution

  vi /etc/hosts
  

  # XX Hint: First listed hostnames are preferred
  127.0.0.1               foo.example.com localhost.localdomain localhost
  192.168.1.201   foo.example.com

  Can display only 20x80 characters 2004-06-09 11:21
  Problem:
  
  vi and man is limited to show only 20x80 characters instead of stretching the screen to the edges
  
  Solution:
  
  You may need to set the screen size, via "stty rows num_rows columns num_cols"
  
  Check the current setting of your terminal:
  
  stty -a[CHR_PIPE]grep rows
  stty rows 50 columns 100
  
  You might save this shell command in your .bash_profile if necessary.

  eth0/DHCP Warning 2003-11-19 14:22
  [dhpd430] infinite IP address lease time. exiting
  
  To fix this, I edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and added
  
  DHCPCDARGS='-l 86400 -t 5'
  
  This causes dhcpcd to ask the server for a lease time of 24 hours. The server grants the request, and dhcpcd doesn't die. This makes life more predictable.
