Try this in /etc/hosts (after a backup, of course)

Code:

127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1               secure.superhost.gr secure

and retry the mail operation again. wrt:
mail -s test root
lets hope this damn think works!

NikosGr · 10-31-2013, 04:19 PM

Code:

root@secure [~]# nano /etc/hosts

root@secure [~]# cat /etc/hosts  
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1               secure.superhost.gr secure
root@secure [~]#

root@secure [~]# mail -s test root
Are we gonna be lucky this time?
.
EOT

No email came up until now to notify me of error, but i also dont know how to check if this mail got delivered successfully to root user.

NikosGr · 10-31-2013, 04:20 PM

root@secure [~]# mail
No mail for root

Habitual · 10-31-2013, 04:26 PM

so, that's "progress" no?

maybe you have a regular linux user receiving root's email, as I do?

regular user have any mail for root...

NikosGr · 10-31-2013, 04:32 PM

Yes indeed it is progress! No erro mail at least! :-)

in WHM somewhere i had a setting for root's mail but cannot recall what it was, but i just tried this

Code:

root@secure [~]# mail -s test nikos@superhost.gr
Are we gonna be lucky this time?
.
EOT

nikos@superhost.gr [~]# mail
No mail for nikos

well, take a break and a breathe, I'm sure the answer is just around the corner.

You and I could both use the break.
I now remember why I hate cPanel. ;(

NikosGr · 10-31-2013, 05:03 PM

Ι started to hate cPanel months ago, too many issues in sevral layers....

Yes, we both could and should use a break!
Solution is close but mind needs rest! Perhapos time to watch a movie! :-)

Good Idea. Something scary - boo!

NikosGr · 10-31-2013, 05:05 PM

Hahaha, scary yeah, like cPanel Daily WTF Horror stories ;-)

NikosGr · 11-15-2013, 11:34 AM

This has sorted out now.

can you please tell me why i cannot 'yum install python3' ?

an i have compiled python 3.4a myself now i want it gone because i want to install it via yum

can i just delete /usr/local/bin/python? would that delete the whole python 34.a that make install created?

Habitual · 11-15-2013, 11:37 AM

CentOS version and architecture please?

Code:

lsb_release -d
uname -mrs

New thread?

NikosGr · 11-15-2013, 11:39 AM

I have created ne thread but didn't receive any actual help.

i you knwo pelase tell me how

Code:

root@secure [~]# lsb_release -d
-bash: lsb_release: command not found
root@secure [~]# uname -mrs
Linux 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64
root@secure [~]#

Habitual · 11-15-2013, 11:41 AM

WHM is usually CentOS, are you using CentOS?

Code:

cat /etc/redhat-release

link to new thread?

NikosGr · 11-15-2013, 11:43 AM

Yes indeed, sorry i forgot to mention because i already have mentioned it so many times over so many forums and threads.

root@secure [~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
root@secure [~]#

So many days now i just cant install python 3.3.3 and python-pip via yum

i am frustrated, i have even added EPEL repo but that didn't seemed to help me.
