2:
3: (Alternative approach to perl module-ing is at end...)
4: (Alternative approach to mysql is at end...)
5:
6: Install RedHat 7.2 on your system. Use a 'custom' install and include
7: the web and sql servers along with any others you need or desire.
8:
9: 1. Add the user www
10: /usr/sbin/adduser www
11:
12: 2. Determine the user id of www (needed in the next step):
13: grep ^www /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f3
14:
15: 3. Work around authentication issues:
16: wget http://www.wwnet.net/~janc/software/mod_auth_external-2.1.13.tar.gz
17: tar zxvf mod_auth_external-2.1.13.tar.gz
18: cd mod_auth_external-2.1.13/pwauth/
19:
20: edit config.h and change the line:
21:
22: #define SERVER_UIDS 99 /* user "nobody" */
23:
24: to
25:
26: #define SERVER_UIDS 666 /* user "www" */
27:
28: where 666 is the number that results from step 2 above.
29:
30: make
31: cp pwauth /usr/local/sbin
32: chmod 6755 /usr/local/sbin/pwauth
33:
34: edit (creating the file) /etc/pam.d/pwauth to have the contents
35: auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
36: auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
37: account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
38:
39: 4. make sure you have mod_perl and apache on your system
40:
41: 5. Checkout CVS repository (I'm assuming you're already set up for cvs)
42: cvs co loncapa
43:
44: 6. Install the needed RPMS
45:
46: Needed rpms for RH7.2 install and where to get them (sort of)
47: -------------------------------------------------------------
48: lon-capa rpms (install.lon-capa.org)
49: -------------------
50: LON-CAPA-base
51: LON-CAPA-systemperl
52: LON-CAPA-krb4
53: LON-CAPA-mysql
54: LON-CAPA-barcode
55:
56: rpms on rpmfind.net (only accept these versions)
57: ------------------------------------------------
58: ipxutils ipxutils-2.2.0.18-6.i386.rpm
59: netatalk netatalk-1.5pre6-1rh7.i386.rpm
60: libungif-progs libungif-progs-4.1.0-9.i386.rpm
61: libgd libgd-1.3-4.i386.rpm
62: gnuplot gnuplot-3.7.1-5.i386.rpm
63:
64: rpms on install cds or updates
65: ------------------------------
66: + sysreport sysreport-1.2-1.noarch.rpm
67: + mars-nwe mars-nwe-0.99pl20-6.i386.rpm
68: + wu-ftpd wu-ftpd-2.6.1-20.i386.rpm
69: + linuxconf linuxconf-1.25r7-3.i386.rpm
70:
71: install these all with rpm -Uvh, occasionally using --force and/or --nodeps
72:
73: rpm -Uvh linuxconf-1.25r7-3.i386.rpm
74: rpm -Uvh sysreport-1.2-1.noarch.rpm
75: rpm -Uvh mars-nwe-0.99pl20-6.i386.rpm
76: rpm -Uvh wu-ftpd-2.6.1-20.i386.rpm
77: rpm -Uvh ipxutils-2.2.0.18-6.i386.rpm
78: rpm -Uvh netatalk-1.5pre6-1rh7.i386.rpm
79: rpm -Uvh libungif-progs-4.1.0-9.i386.rpm
80: rpm -Uvh libgd-1.3-4.i386.rpm
81: rpm -Uvh gnuplot-3.7.1-5.i386.rpm
82: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps LON-CAPA-base
83: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps rpm -Uvh LON-CAPA-systemperl.rpm
84: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps rpm -Uvh LON-CAPA-krb4.rpm
85: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps rpm -Uvh LON-CAPA-mysql.rpm
86: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps rpm -Uvh LON-CAPA-barcode.rpm
87:
88: 7. Correct some RPM errors
89: The Perl modules installed by the systemperl rpm are not in the proper place
90: (the rpm was designed for 5.005 and RedHat 7.2 uses 5.6.0).
91: cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
92: cp -R * ../5.6.0/
93:
94: 8. Fix CGI::Cookie.pm
95:
96: edit /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/CGI/Cookie.pm
97: change the lines:
98: # IE requires the path and domain to be present for some reason.
99: $path = CGI::url(-absolute=>1) unless defined $path;
100: to:
101: # IE requires the path and domain to be present for some reason.
102: ($path = $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'})=~s![^/]+$!! unless $path;
103:
104: 9. update LON-CAPA-base files with CVS
105: cd ~/loncapa
106: cvs update -d
107: cd loncom/build
108: make DIST='redhat7' build; make DIST='redhat7' install
109:
110: 10. Update LON-CAPA config files
111:
112: httpd configuration:
113:
114: cd /etc/httpd/conf
115: cp access.conf.lpmlnew access.conf
116: edit access.conf to reflect the correct information:
117:
118: PerlSetVar lonHostID YOUR LON-HOST ID
119: PerlSetVar lonRole library
120: PerlSetVar lonAdmEMail YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
121: PerlSetVar lonDefDomain YOUR DOMAIN
122: PerlSetVar lonLoadLim 2.0
123: PerlSetVar lonExpire 86400
124: PerlSetVar lonReceipt A RANDOM NUMBER (REAL, NOT INTEGER)
125: PerlSetVar lonSqlAccess 123
126:
127: Replace the capitalized text with your information
128:
129: kerberos configuration
130:
131: edit /etc/krb.conf to reflect your kerberos information
132:
133: LON-CAPA hosts configuration:
134:
135: /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab should be updated
136:
137: 11. Restart the daemons
138: /etc/init.d/httpd restart
139: /etc/init.d/loncontrol restart
140:
141: 12. Updated documentation
142: Please help us keep our documentation up to date! If there is something
143: in this document that was unclear or required further explanation, please help
144: us help others by improving it!

148: SOME NOTES ON THE RPMS INSTALLED
149: ------------------------------------------------------------------
150: gnuplot gnuplot-3.7.1-5.i386.rpm
151: USE ONLY THIS VERSION OF GNUPLOT! Other versions may not have
152: gif support compiled in and dynamically generated plots will fail!
153: libgd libgd-1.3-4.i386.rpm
154: Required by gnuplot
155:
156:
157: ==================================================================
158: Alternative Approaches
159:
160: ------------------------------------------------------------------
161: Regarding: Perl modules
162: As noted above, it is possible to install then redirect
163: the files with LON-CAPA-systemperl. Another approach
164: is to use loncom/build/system_dependencies/perltest.pl
165: combined with the 30+ perl specific rpms that RedHat is
166: now releasing with version 7.*.
167:
168: * need to fix Cookie.pm as noted above
169:
170: ncftpget ftp://mirror.pa.msu.edu/linux/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/*perl*.rpm
171: And do comparisons with output from
172: perl CVS:loncom/build/system_dependencies/perltest.pl
173:
174: Here is what is found from this approach:
175:
176: Already installed on RedHat 7.2 by default:
