Instructions for deleting the swap file after import in Ensim

Eg. partition - /dev/hda3 mounted on /, swap file - /var/swapfile.

Turn off swapping for file “/var/swapfile” with the following command:

swapon, swapoff - enable/disable devices and files for paging and swapping

Swapoff disables swapping on the specified devices and files. When the -a flag is given, swapping is disabled on all known swap devices and files (as found in /proc/swaps or /etc/fstab)

#swapoff /var/swapfile

Delete the file “/var/swapfile” with the following command:

#rm -f /var/swapfile

Installation Checklist

You must install the RPM spamassassin-3 or later on the server before you install Ensim Pro Control Panel.

Verify that you have set up the yum repository containing the operating system RPMs, RPM updates, and RPM extras (required only if using yum to obtain and update RPMs).

Set up a yum repository on your local FTP server or on the server on which you are installing Parallels Pro Control Panel. The installer obtains the operating system RPMs, required RPM updates, and RPM extras from the repository.

Ensim Pro Control Panel and Yum version

Ensim Pro is compatible with yum version 2.4 or later. If an earlier version is installed, the installer tries to install/update the installed version; however, to avoid installation failures, it is recommended that you verify the version of yum installed on the server. To verify the yum version, run the following command at the prompt:

/usr/bin/yum –version

When the cron file /etc/cron.daily/1hup_apache_logs is executed the httpd service is not able to reload properly and it get stuck. The service is dead and it needs to be restarted manually. Even the server load goes high. And in some cases the server even crashes.

To Resolve this issue.

Change “reload” to “restart” in /etc/cron.daily/1hup_apache_logs

Content of /etc/cron.daily/1hup_apache_logs are as follows:

#!/bin/bash
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd_app_init reload-grc
# XXX Fix of the “lost child came home” issue
! /sbin/chkconfig httpd || /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd_app_init reload

And then change to

#!/bin/bash
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd_app_init reload-grc
# XXX Fix of the “lost child came home” issue
! /sbin/chkconfig httpd || /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd_app_init restart
