- As per the CentOS 7 announcement, it is possible to upgrade the CentOS 6 to CentOS 7 with the help of redhat-upgrade-tool. CentOS has not yet posted any official document on upgrading the CentOS 6, since there is no official documentation; we are not recommending this upgrade on production environment.

Nice overview. You can also run dhclient (once off) to automatically update the /etc/resolv.conf file. |

Hi, I have configured static IP address (192.168.1.23). But everytime i boot up, its picking another IP address. (192.168.1.100). But after the boot up, if i give 'service network restart' it gets changed to my static IP. If the network is not restarted, its with its own (192.168.1.100). If i check the ifcfg-eth0 file, i see the IP which i have given. How to fix it? Regards, |

I must say when I started configuring static IP's on Cent OS 7 via CLI it was pretty confusing, but then i understood it - it became much easier. Without need to disable Network Manager, just type this command “nmtui” to open Network manager and edit any connection. This is super easy and no VI , NANO are needed. Plus can reset adapter too. Hope this will help others as well. Regards! |

For IP ranges you can also use my scirpt: https://github.com/jonsbun/add-ips-centos |

@Arinerron: set up your default gateway, no gateway, your systems only knows your local network (192.168.1.x/y). Furthermore you should use ip add sh, instead of ifconfig nowadays. |

Okay so dumb question that I probably don't need to worry about, is there a difference when you do ONBOOT=yes versus ONBOOT='yes' with quotes? I get using quotes if there's a space in it like your example of NAME='System eth0' but does it matter for one word entries like yes or no? |

I have created a CentOS server in a virtual machine and now I would like to know how to install programs from scratch, without using yum or rpm. Every search I've tried on how to go about finding each individual program and what commands I would use to install them has returned very useful information on why using yum would be so much better and how to install yum if I don't have it.
So basically all I want to know are how to find the download links to individual programs,how to download them (since I'm using only text I'm unfamiliar with this whole process), and what commands I need to use to install them once I have them.
Thanks guys!

When in rome, man. They're telling you to do it that way because CentOS really prefers rpm-based packages. They're easier to manage, upgrade, uninstall, etc.
However since this is a learning exercise, ignore all of that.
Each piece of software is unique, and you need to read the installation instructions that come with the source code for the project. A good chunk of software out there uses a system called 'automake' whose commands are usually very predictable. The experience is usually something like this:
- Download the source code from a website (often comes are a .tar.gz or .zip) You can use
wget
to download files from websites. - Extract the source code locally (using tar or unzip)
- Set some compiler variables (don't do this unless you know what you're doing -- the defaults are usually sufficient, esp. for a learning exercise). e.g.
export CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe'
- Run the configure script with
--help
to determine what kinds of options are configurable../configure --help
- Run configure with the options you want:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-option1 --with-library=/path/to/lib --without-cowbell
- This will set up the project to be compiled. Now you need to run make. Just type
make
- Once everything has compiled (assuming there are no compile errors) run
make install
. You have to run this command as root usually. - Tada. The package has been installed from source.
There are of course other compile systems out there (cmake for example) but I won't cover all of them. Things will break for you. Google is your friend when this happens. Usually it's due to (a) shitty source code, or (b) missing / out of date libraries on your system.
Also keep in mind that just because a package compiles doesn't mean it will work out of the box for you. Most packages need a certain amount of configuration to actually run properly, so be sure to read any documentation available to you.
EDIT
Also, if you REALLY want the FULL experience, there's always linux from scratch which can, and will teach you everything you were afraid to ask about compiling things from source.
