i have new machine which run RedHat - FC5 and Directadmin

i would like to update my system and install DBI component for perl

everything will be done with yum. :rolleyes:


Can i run yum update, or yum install without being afraid that
yum will reinstall mysql or will try to update ftp component witch at the end of the process will cause interuptions in the directadmin ???
 
Just make sure this is in your yum.conf file:

Code: 
exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* named*

DA should have put it there automatically when it was installed.
 
You still need to update the excluded software manually or as DA provides updates.
 
Haven't found any instruction here: is there a preferred way of updating that packaged excluded from yum?

Many thanks,
P.

On one box I have:
exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* named* clamav*
Click to expand...

on another:
exclude=kernel* php* exim* courier* httpd* perl* mysql* mod_* imap* squirrelmail* spamassassin* caching-nameserver*
Click to expand...

Both are FC3
 
Both could be correct.

You do NOT need a line in exclude for any RPM name not already on your server unless you want to make sure no one can add them.

Generally you can update kernels, although at one time we didn't recommend them.

The main reason to not allow kernel updates is if your server requires a custom kernel.
