Hello

I finally getting round to upgrading ASL 4.0. I have two concerns.

1) I'm currently run PHP 5.4 and MySQL 5.5 from the https://webtatic.com/projects/yum-repository/.

Not sure the best way to use a supported version of PHP and MySQL? Is it to install the atomic repo and do a yum php54w --replace-with=Php54.

2) ASL kernel has never booted just freezes server and needs to be reboot into the standard CentOS kernel. Is there any log files I can look at to see whats happening? My hosting company not very helpful when it comes to the error. it is a Dell PowerEdge R520 with SAS disks, Dell Management software, Acronis, ASL 3 and PHP and MySQL that about it.

Code: Select all

 rpm -qa | grep kernel
abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.0.8-21.el6.centos.x86_64
kernel-headers-2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.centos.plus.x86_64

        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=5d895a2f-135c-44a1-a4dc-2018a78b5274 rd_NO_LUKS  KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=uk LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 crashkernel=auto rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_DM rhgb quiet
        initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64.img

Just look the 'safest' way to upgrade as it a production server.

1) Disable are the DELL / Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 / webtatic repo.
2) Replace the MySQL /PHP (prefer not to do that) unless things bang.
3) Run the ASL 4 install and do a clean database.

Thank you for any help in advance.

Thank you for the questions:

ASL doesnt use your systems PHP, so it doesnt matter what version you use. You do not need to install the atomic repo and you do not need to upgrade or change PHP on your system.

So if your system doesnt get to the point where the filesystem is mounted then the logs will only be displayed on the console of the system. thats because all Linux kernelscant log to the filesystem until the mount it, if that fails or they havent gotten to that point there cant be any logs on the file system. So, the logged events are displayed on the screen during boot. Console access during boot will give you access to that in real time.

Any reputable hosting company should be able to give you remote secure console access for free.

Hello

Many thanks.

I've done the upgrade went well. Opening a support ticket for the kernel.

Kind regards

Also do note that this is a rather old ASL kernel.

3.2.62-74 is the latest. You might want to try that one in stead of the old 2.6.
