I have a CentOS 7.2 laptop. I have VirtualBox 5.0.x installed on it. Out of the box, it appears that I have Vagrant 1.7.2. Apparently this doesn't support VirtualBox 5.0.x, but it appears that version 1.8.1 does. What is the proper way to get access to 1.8.1? There is an installation rpm for 1.8.1 that I've downloaded, I can run this with "rpm", but do I have to do anything else before I do that?
Use Software Collections to get Vagrant 1.8.1 on CentOS: Vagrant 1.8 by Software Collections (the linked page contains instructions on how to do that). That will give you a build tested by the CentOS project.
As a sidenote: If you downloaded a standalone RPM package (presumably directly from the Vagrant project) and wish to install it, do it using the yum package manager, not rpm -- yum takes care of dependencies.

Does anyone know how to upgrade sqlite3 on Centos7. The repos only have up to version 3.7.
I downloaded the source code and compiled. Replaced binaries. If I type sqlite/sqlite3 --version then it's 3.31.
If I run rails then it's stuck at 3.7.
DNF is stuck on 3.7 too.
I read that Centos7 stays at this version. There's no easy upgrade path to Centos8 without reinstall so trying to avoid that.
Uninstall the package from Centos. Then, do a normal source install of sqlite afterwards.
When I install the ubuntu server, the postgresql repository package names are installed on server automatically. So when I type command sudo apt-get install postgresql it will start installation. But which version will be installed? I don't know it.
So how can I learn which version will be installed?
Running a Laravel installation on a RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 server using PHP 7.1. I can see php-pgsql.x86_64 listed in the available yum packages, but it doesn't appear to be compatible with PHP 7.1 (and indeed is listed as version 5.4.16-43.el7_4.1).
On a lark, I tried installing it anyway and physically moved the pgsql.ini and pdo_pgsql.ini files from /etc/php.d into the relevant PHP 7.1 folder /etc/opt/rh/rh-php71/php.d/ (and did the same with the .so files they reference), but that returns an error indicating that the package couldn't be read (undefined symbol: file_globals_id in Unknown on line 0).
Has anyone managed to get PHP 7.1 talking to PostgreSQL on RHEL 7?
The sysadmin who originally created the server for me set me straight. The problem was I was looking in the wrong repository for the packages I needed for my particular PHP installation. Running the following two commands did the trick:
sudo yum install --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rhui-REGION-rhel-server-rhscl rh-php71-php-odbc
sudo yum install --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rhui-REGION-rhel-server-rhscl rh-php71-php-pgsql
We then added those two packages to the Ansible playbook so future generations would not suffer needlessly.
I need to install pljava for postgresql 9.3 on Ubuntu 14.04. I installed the 64bit version of postgre using the apt-get packet manager of Ubuntu, and I tried installing pljava in the same way
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3-pljava-gcj
but it gives me the "unmet dependencies error"
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
postgresql-9.3-pljava-gcj:i386 : Depends: postgresql-9.3:i386 but it is not going to be installed
Apparently, there's no version of pljava for 64bit architectures of pljava for postgresql 9.3. Also searching the Web led me to this conclusion (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-pljava/1.4.3-3 - see the "not build" versions of the packet).
Now, my problem is that I have to use a 64bit version of postgresql-9.3, and I definitely need pljava to embed some "java triggering" inside the db. Does anyone know any solution to this issue? Can I use pljava-9.1 with postgresql-9.3? Anything else?
Thanks a lot
There is no maintained PL/JAVA package for Ubuntu anymore. The package you mentioned is using a too old version of PL/JAVA, depending on gcj. It is highly recommended to use PL/JAVA version 1.5.0, using a recent Oracle or OpenJDK java version.
The sad news is you have to build it yourself. For instructions, see
https://tada.github.io/pljava/build/build.html (building)
https://tada.github.io/pljava/install/install.html (installing)
At the time this question was asked, it was true that there were not maintained PL/Java packages for Ubuntu.
Just to update the story, more recently there are. They can be found in the PGDG apt repository.
How to install rvm(ruby) on RHL7 using centos repo.
I know if we are using centos repository we should be using centos OS and not RedHat, but we have a proprietary software that require Redhat.
when I try to install ruby 1.93 using rvm I got this:
rvm install 1.9.3
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: redhat/6/x86_64/ruby-1.9.3-p551.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for redhat.
Unable to locate SystemId file. Is this system registered?
Our client does not have registered system with redhat, So I did configure centos repository.
But how can I tell RVM to use this centos repository?
I managed the problem running:
rvm autolibs read-only
In that way rvm do not try to download the dependencies from redhat. But it tell us what is missing, so we can install what is missing manually with yum install from centos repository.
RedHat uses the concept of software collection to offer update packages for Ruby, Python, etc:
softwarecollections
For your case, they have software collection for Ruby193 and Ruby22.
On each page you will find instructions on how to use it.
