My fix was: replacing CentOS with Fedora Server, although my perspective may not be that unencumbered, given my signature. Unless you are using very special application software or a very special use case you will not face more issues as with CentOS, in some cases rather even less, because the software versions are more recent. ++ I find Fedora Server is far superior to CentOS. With Fedora Server you get modern software without the need to take special actions like on CentOS. There's no putzing around with ancient software or Software Collections (SCL). When I look back at all the time I wasted over the years on CentOS trying to run a LAMP stack with Mediawiki... So much wasted time and energy... One thing to keep in mind is, you need to run dnf-system-upgrade every 6 months or so to keep up with Fedora's cadence. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/ Jeff _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
