Redhat changes vs version

Slightly off-topic but will help me pick which version of Redhat when I reload my OpenNMS laptop.

Is there a document that shows the improvements/deletions for each version of Redhat? I looked at the
release notes for Redhat 8.0 and there was a lot of information there. I thought there might be a document
somewhere that shows the major differences between 7.3 and 8.0. For instance, why is 8.0 not labelled 7.4?
What makes it a major release?

thanks
chuckc

Configuration OpenNMS with one System of BandWidth Management

The easiest way to do this is to build a custom table in the database with
two fields: ipaddr and catname (or something like that).

Then update the database.schema file in the etc directory. Then you can
use a rule like "catname = cat1" etc. for you categories. There should be
a complete post on this in the archives.

http 500 error

All, 

I'm having an isssue with opennms when I navigate to the SNMP collection by
interface page.  I cen get to the page that lists the interfaces, but when I
select a single interface link from that page I get the following error (the
page worked earlier today, this started after I selected some interfaces
other than the primary to poll):

 HTTP Status 500 -

Need help for installation

Re: Need help for installation

Have you updated the postgresql.conf file?

These line must be present

tcpip_connections=true
shared_buffers=1024
max_connections=256

I'm quite sure your problem is a postgresql configuration problem 
because I had the same "three only processes running" problem 
and I solved it with a right configuration of the database server.
Make sure to have initialisated a database cluster.
