Dell servers RedHat troubles follow-up
Just a quick follow-up to my yesterday's entry..
I spent the whole bloody day yesterday trying to make things work the way they should, and only got Seg faults on my application server as the result. Well, today I just re-installed everything I need from source, all the latest versions of the software - graphics & text processing libs, ImageMagic, Apache, PHP, Ruby and Rails of course with a slew of gems I use (including the latest rmagick, of course) - and now everything works together perfectly.
The whole process took me slightly less than 2 hours, and that includes reinstalling OS from the scratch, using Dell's installation disks! How about that huh?..
Talking about Dell-supplied install stuff… It is not bad, but come on - after default OS install is complete, you can not even remove packages you don't need without getting an error (" you need to install blah-blah-blah packages in order to remove bah-bah-bah packages " huh?!?)
Oh well. There's still that problem with gettext gem throwing errors in production mode which I solved somehow, long time ago - need to re-fix it and I'm ready to move everything from the old weaker server to the new powerful 2-server system.
