Zabbix Agent installation on OpenSuse 13.2 with yum fails - yum

when installing Zabbix v3.4 I get the following error message: http://imgur.com/a/xo3tg
Looks like an error in the yum repository. Do you have any suggestions for solutions or something similar?
Best regards

As you can see, there is just 2.2 version of Zabbix (agent, server, proxy, etc.) in that repository.
It seems Zabbix 2.2 (LTS) is the latest version supported by OpenSUSE using its repositories.
By the way, you can install older versions of Zabbix-agent (like 2.2) sending data correctly to newer server/proxy versions (like 3.0 or even 3.2).
I think the major item you will miss with using zabbix-agent older than 3.X is encryption. Other major features work very good.

Diffrence between XAMPP 5.6 and 7.1.4

I wonder why Apache still offers and promotes version 5.6 of XAMPP when they got newer versions like 7.1.4?
As you can see herethere are different PhP Versions in each Version but is legacy the only reason someone would use an older xampp version or are any other aspects that I am missing?
Because XAMPP v5.6 offers PHP v5.6; XAMPP v7.1.4 comes with PHP v7.0.18 not all developers have their environments past that version of PHP---and for legacy purposes too (for older PHP apps that have yet to migrate to the latest and greatest PHP version)
Hope this helps!
Best,

Apache version 2.2 and security vulnerabilities

A penetration test has recently identified that one of our RHEL(6.7) servers running Apache 2.2.15 is vulnerable on a number of points and needs to be updated to the latest version 2.4. I have run yum update and it says that there are no packages marked for update. I understand that I will need to download the updates manually. There are a few questions I have around the requirement to upgrade Apache.
I am up to date on the 2.2 version tree. Does this mean that any security patches made to version 2.4 will be back patched to version 2.2.X as well?
I am running PHP (version 5.3.3) and MySQL (version 5.1.73) - will these be affected by upgrading the Apache version (Google tells me that there is no problem on both fronts - but I thought I'd ask before I started down this route).
If you experts tell me that I have no other choice but to upgrade, then I'm planning on using the instruction set here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/138899/centos-install-using-yum-apache-2-4
Thank you in advance for your advice.
You could download the 2.4 source code from the Apache site and compile it. There's a setting which will configure for RedHat:
--enable-layout=RedHat
This setting will configure the paths for executables, configuration files, libraries etc in one go.
The following should be a reasonable starting point for a configuration line:
sh ./configure --enable-layout=RedHat --enable-mods-shared=all
then perform a make and make install
Do the same with a newer version of PHP (5.3.29 is available in the "old downloads" section, but try a newer version. Check the changes first though) and your problems should be lessened. Finally, MySQL or MariaDB is available for download and compilation too
Obviously, try all of this on a test machine first and back everything up. Your test machine should be as close as possible to your production machine. If you use something like VirtualBox to try it, you can take a snapshot at each point of the process and rollback if something goes wrong

Pharo 2.0 not running on CentOS 6.6

I am trying to run my pharo2.0 application on CentoOS which was previously been installed in a mac. The original version is pharo2.0 so I need to run the same image CentoOS too, but I get an error which says this below :
/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by xxxxx)
Should I be trying to upgrade the CentoOS and see if pharo2.0 works or port my whole application to a later version of pharo?
There is now a VM build especially for systems with an older libc version. In fact there is a build for Centos specifically (which has a slight variation in linkages from Debian), the latest version of which is permalinked here. See http://pharo.org/download#custom for more info.

Spring data redis mock

I need to do integration testing for a spring cloud application running with spring data on redis.
Tests work locally with the regular redis server instance and I need to run this on a Jenkins CI server that is controlled by the corporate CI engineering group.
Obviously I can attach to a redo server there so I used an embedded redis server (from here: https://github.com/kstyrc/embedded-redis).
Running tests locally with this redis server works well since there is a test profile to inject the embedded server in place of the production one.
Now the problem is that when we run this in the Jenkins environment this is the error we see.
/tmp/1430170830037-0/redis-server-2.8.19: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /tmp/1430170830037-0/redis-server-2.8.19)
So this version of redis has specific dependency on a specific version of glibc. I tried a couple of other libraries but they all depend on the same underlying version of the embedded redis server.
Is there a spring data mock framework that can be used to get around this sort of issue?
This might come a little late for you, but there is indeed a Spring Data Mock framework that you can use, which let's you mock repositories (regardless of the specific backend solution) without a real database connection.
Here is a link: https://github.com/mmnaseri/spring-data-mock
You don't have a high enough version of libc6, that is causing the error.
From How to fix “/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found”? – Super User:
That means the program was compiled against glibc version 2.14, and it requires that version to run, but your system has an older version installed. You'll need to either recompile the program against the version of glibc that's on your system, or install a newer version of glibc (the "libc6" package in Debian).
So, you just need to upgrade your libc6 package. All versions of Ubuntu have at least version 2.15 because it's a faily important package (reference).
To upgrade it, use these commands in a terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6

Apache version 2.1 - What is the deal?

I've been given an assignment to confiure apache v2.1 (on any platform) as a reverse proxy.
Installing Apache2 on Ubuntu gave me version 2.2, but I can't find reference to a version 2.1 for download anywhere. I've seen references to v2.1 in the documentation but under 2.2.
Is it possible to get v2.1?
Apache 2.1 was the development version for Apache 2.2. So Apache 2.1 and 2.2 are essentially the same.
AFAIK, odd number releases are development version, and even numbered are production versions (So 2.3 is the current "development", and will become 2.4 is due time).
Why anyone would ask you to specifically install this version, I do not know, but unless you have a very good reason to do otherwise, just install the latest version.
