i'm going straight to question..
is there any way to backup services configured on a Centos without system file of centos?
for example I want to back up OpenVP-n config and then restore it to another clean centos and just changing a few files..
or even back up a full Direct admin config and then restore it in another clean centos OS?
i don't want back up the whole centos..just i want backup configs on it..
I search out about this alot..but i didn't find anything working..please share your experience about this..
Is this even possible?
any help...?

I have been playing with my raspberry pi 2 for about a week now. I am a beginner at it so I am learning as i go. I have been watching youtube videos of people doing projects and following there step by step guides but I keep running into the same problems.
I have been using rasbian as the OS, and I am having several problems with root access being denied. I am logged in as the basic user= pi , password = raspberry. So from my reading I have done I should be able to (using sudo), make root commands or accessing the root folder.
I have been trying to edit files using commands like
sudo vim /root/.asoundrc
Whenever i do this i get a page that looks like this-
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
"~/.asoundrc" [New File] 0,0-1 All
and nothing will come up for me to edit
My other problem is using the command yaourt
Example:
yaourt -S jasper-tts-google
i get back
-bash: yaourt: command not found
You can't use yaourt unless you install it first. And it cannot be found in the standard repository. You have to install it manually.
As for the editing files. Try using a simpler editor like nano.
To be honest you seem way to newbish to be here. You need to have at least some basic understanding of how a Linux distro works. Vi is an commandline editor and very convenient when you don't have a Desktop Environment.
We can't help you much on this forum since you simply know too little and we can't hold your hand every step of the way if you can't do simple commands/things such as:
Changing directory
Editing files
Change ownerships of files
Sudo
SSH
(un)Installing software using the commandline(aptitude)
Install software without using aptitude.
At least read about what you're trying to do. You should know what yaourt i before installing it. And with every installation of some software from yaourt - you need to have some kind of basic knowledge of PKGBUILD.
So, as far as the first problem, you are opening a file that doesn't exist, so naturally it is an empty file.
yaourt is not installed by default, so naturally you must install it.
I'm trying to change the default data_directory of PostgreSQL on CentOS 7 however without much success. I've an experience of successful change on Ubuntu, using the following manual:
http://climber2002.github.io/blog/2015/02/07/install-and-configure-postgresql-on-ubuntu-14-dot-04/
However I'm not able to do that on CentOS, the directories are different, can't find how to call initdb to create the new cluster, move the existing DB files to the new directory, etc.
Can anybody advise on this? Didn't find anything useful on this either.
Thanks.
Is it possible to set the path where the berkshelf plugin puts the cookbooks it installs? (As in the .berkshelf folder)
I am running Windows 7.
I am currently trying to install a mysql server using an opscode cookbook to a vm and here at work they have the %HOMEDRIVE% system variable set to a network drive. So when .berkshelf starts at the beginning of the Vagrantfile, it pushes the cookbooks to the network drive and it causes it to be slow and well, its not where it should be. Is there a fix to this?
VirtualBox did this as well, but I fixed it by altering the settings. I tried looking for some sort of equivalent settings for berkshelf, but the closest I got was for the standard berkshelf (thats not a vagrant plugin), it appears you can set this environment variable:
ENV['BERKSHELF_PATH']
Found here:
http://www.rubydoc.info/github/RiotGames/berkshelf/Berkshelf#berkshelf_path-class_method
I need to be able to have the cookbooks it reads from the berksfile store to my laptops local drive instead, as in my scenario I cannot have the mobility of the VM limited to the building because of files that are stored on the network.
Any incite would be much appreciated.
Perhaps its better to use the actual berkshelf over the vagrant plugin?
Thanks.
If you want to have the portability - a full chef-repo ready for chef-solo runs, better off using standalone berkshelf instead of the vagrant-berkshelf plugin - which is NOT that flexibly.
For complex cookbooks, I prefer to use standalone berkshelf as it allows me to do berks install --path chef/cookbooks to copy all cookbooks required from ~/.berkshelf/cookbooks, then I can just tar the whole thing and transfer to other machines for the same chef-solo run. some people use capistrano automate the tar and scp/rsync over the network. I just use rysnc/scp;-)

I have a vagrant VM (virtualbox) setup with meteor. My host and guest are both Ubuntu. The VM contains a vboxfs share folder setup through the Vagrantfile. The behavior I am noticing is similar to a NFS mount.
I am able to create a meteor project in this shared folder, but when I run the project I get errors pointing to mongodb.
If I follow instructions on
https://github.com/pixelhandler/vagrant-dev-env/blob/master/README.md
my app works just fine.
Upon further investigation it seems that MongoDB does not work on NFS shares, http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/NFS
Has anyone else run in to this issue? and if so, have you figured out a (non-rsync) solution?
I plan to send link of this question to 10gen, perhaps someone from their team can answer it.
Not sure what Mongo's plans are re running on NFS / vboxfs, but you could work around this by running your own MongoDB not in the shared folder (eg, use the ubuntu mongodb package). Use the MONGO_URL environment variable to tell meteor where to connect. If you pass this variable, meteor will not try to start MongoDB in the meteor project directory.
You can move the data dir somewhere inside the VM, and use a symlink from the vagrant folder:
cd /vagrant/.meteor/local
ln -s ~/db/
This means the data will not be shared, but you probably want it git ignored anyway.
(https://grahamrhay.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/running-meteor-in-a-vagrant-virtualbox/)
grahamrhay's solution would not work with the vagrant box started on Windows. There is no way to make symbolic links on windows for vagrant, at least not for administrator accounts.
does anyone know why this folder: ~/oradiag_root appears under home - cd ~ in Centos after Zend CE installation and whether it can be removed and is it possible to stop that to be created?
many thanks
OK, it looks like it some sort of legacy and can be removed however reboot might be required which will recreate it but will start from scratch thus making it smaller.
