Hello I did the perfect server tutorial for Centos 5.2 (http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.2). I was able to start firefox and open web pages from the Internet. I made some changes*, and now when I try to start firefox, it fails to start. "Starting web browser" appears briefly in the taskbar but then it goes away. No error message displays. I was hoping someone can offer me suggestion on how to diagnose and repair this. I can ping google.com from this machine thank you very much LN *(I did ch 7 & ch 9 from this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.2-ispconfig-3)
Hello Falko - thank you for your reply, and your suggestion to check my logs for errors. (yes, I have a desktop on my CentOS server). I tried to find log files by grepping in different directories for mozilla and firefox. I see a lot of install and configuration stuff. I only see the word error once /root/*.log* (It says: Installing libgpg-error-1.4-2.i386) I would be really grateful if you could give me some guidance about where to look for the right logs. thank you LN
Hello Falko Thank you very much for helping me out with this. When I did yum update I got an error. Below is what I saw. Is this significant? thanks again LN [root@server1 ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: centos.corenetworks.net * base: mirror.ubiquityservers.com * extras: mirror.team-cymru.org * rpmforge: apt.sw.be * updates: mirror.vcu.edu Setting up Update Process Error: Package tuple ('perl-Socket6', 'i386', '0', '0.23', '1.rh9.rf') could not be found in packagesack [root@server1 ~]#
