Suddenly a Linux server, -only- serving as ‘open’ samba share (guest account allowed) stopt working. I logged in and found samba working, no weird network issues, nothing. A mystery ! After a service smb restart and a reboot -h now (sue me, uptime) I increased the log level of smb to level 3 this is done […]
While installing node.js : Error: Package: 1:nodejs-6.11.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libhttp_parser.so.2()(64bit) Error: Package: 1:nodejs-6.11.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: http-parser >= 2.7.0 You can solve this by installing http_parser manually : yum install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/http-parser/2.7.1/3.el7/x86_64/http-parser-2.7.1-3.el7.x86_64.rpm The reason behind the issue, is in that RHEL 7.4 now includes this package in the default repo, and for that reason its now removed from epel […]
