1.2 harris41 4: The standard process is to install LON-CAPA with an installation
5: CD on a fresh system. We provide this document as a secondary
6: service to those who wish to install and experiment on an existing

1.2 harris41 9: These are the current steps for installing LON-CAPA on an existing
1.3 harris41 10: RedHat 6.2 system. Where possible, I have tried to indicate steps
11: for RedHat 7.1. Please note that step 1 is optional. You can

13: steps at http://install.lon-capa.org/docs/loncapapasswordauthentication.html.

1.3 harris41 40: SUMMARY
41:
42: This is what has to happen in the installation.
43: * Install LON-CAPA files
44: * Configure system
45: * Make sure you have the right software packages (RPMS)
46:
47: Note that
48: http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS
49: are generally meant for RedHat 6.2 systems.
50:
51: For RedHat 7.1/7.2, you will have to manually
52: inspect CVS:doc/otherfiles/rpm_list.txt
53:
54: 1. (NOW OPTIONAL). disable shadow and md5sum passwords
1.1 ng 55: remove 'md5 shadow' from 'password required' lines in
56: /etc/pam.d/login
57: /etc/pam.d/passwd
58:
59: then run /usr/sbin/pwunconv and
60: /usr/sbin/grpunconv
61:
62: and then, manually enter in all your passwords again
63: first for root
64: passwd
65: and then the usernames...
66: passwd username1
67: passwd username2
68:
1.3 harris41 69: 2. make sure you have a web server (apache)
1.1 ng 70:
71: 3. make sure you have mod_perl
1.3 harris41 72: RedHat 6.2:
73: http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/mod_perl-1.23-3.i386.rpm
1.1 ng 74:
1.3 harris41 75: 4. Checkout CVS repository
76: cvs co loncapa (see install.lon-capa.org
77: http://install.lon-capa.org/docs/cvsupgrade/
78: for more cvs instructions)
1.1 ng 79:
80: 5. Install the LON-CAPA-base RPM
1.3 harris41 81: http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/LON-CAPA-base-3.1-1.i386.rpm
82: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps LON-CAPA-base-3.1-1.i386.rpm
83:
84: If you are using RedHat 7.1, the only file you really need from this
85: RPM is tth.so.
86:
87: http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/binaries/tth.so
1.4 harris41 88: should go in
89: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.???/tth.so
1.1 ng 90:
1.3 harris41 91: 6. Add a user www.
1.1 ng 92: /usr/sbin/adduser www
93:
1.3 harris41 94: 7. Make sure you have all the needed RPMs
95:
96: The following instructions only work for RedHat 6.2.
97: If you are using RedHat 7.1/7.2, you will need to
98: manually inspect CVS:doc/otherfiles/rpm_list.txt.
99:
100: As root, cd loncapa/loncom/build; make rpmstatuspost
1.1 ng 101: look at the status of your RPMS
102: http://MACHINENAME/lon-status/rpmstatus.html
103:
104: install/upgrade the ones you don't have
105: probably start with the out-of-date RPMs
106: and then run make rpmstatuspost again
107:
108: install RPMs from the minimal set
109: (you might want to be a little selective here.. like, you
110: don't "need" autofs)
111:
112: install RPMs from the development set
113: (you might want to be a LOT selective here)
114:
115: 8. update LON-CAPA-base files with CVS
116: cvs update -d
117: cd loncom/build
1.3 harris41 118: make build; make install
119: NOTE!!!
120: REDHAT 7.1 or 7.2 (make DIST='redhat7.1' build; make DIST='redhat7.1' install)
1.1 ng 121:
122: 9. run /usr/sbin/loncapaconfig and change the settings on your
123: machine
124:
1.3 harris41 125: OR
126:
127: manually edit
128: /etc/krb.conf
129: /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf
130: /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab
131:
1.1 ng 132: 10. restart all the services
133: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
134: /etc/rc.d/init.d/loncontrol restart
1.3 harris41 135:
136: 11. The next step will be to experiment with your system.
137: If you are setting up a machine for test purposes, I recommend
138: you set up a domain coordinator. See CVS:doc/how_to_domain_coordinator.txt
