CentOS 5.6 server setup

These are the guides and blog posts I use to setup LAMP on my new CentOS servers:

• Get a newer version of PHP
• http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PHP_5.1_To_5.2
• Setup RPM Key
• cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg
• wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL
• Setup YUM repo for Git
• http://www.davegardner.me.uk/blog/2010/01/29/setting-up-git-on-centos-5-server/#install
• Install Apache, MySQL, PHP
• http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/centos-5

I typically install Webmin too, so I'll document that one in a bit.

Drupal 6 "Unable to fetch any information about available new releases and updates"

When manually trying to check for available updates I ran into this message:

"Unable to fetch any information about available new releases and updates"

I don't recall ever seeing this when running Drupal 6.

My solution: restart Apache and it worked.
