$Id: how_to_install_on_RedHat7.2.txt,v 1.5 2002/04/14 17:17:32 harris41 Exp $ (Alternative approach to perl module-ing is at end...) (Alternative approach to mysql is at end...) Install RedHat 7.2 on your system. Use a 'custom' install and include the web and sql servers along with any others you need or desire. 1. Add the user www /usr/sbin/adduser www 2. Determine the user id of www (needed in the next step): grep ^www /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f3 3. Work around authentication issues: wget http://www.wwnet.net/~janc/software/mod_auth_external-2.1.13.tar.gz tar zxvf mod_auth_external-2.1.13.tar.gz cd mod_auth_external-2.1.13/pwauth/ edit config.h and change the line: #define SERVER_UIDS 99 /* user "nobody" */ to #define SERVER_UIDS 666 /* user "www" */ where 666 is the number that results from step 2 above. make cp pwauth /usr/local/sbin chmod 6755 /usr/local/sbin/pwauth edit (creating the file) /etc/pam.d/pwauth to have the contents auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so 4. make sure you have mod_perl and apache on your system 5. Checkout CVS repository (I'm assuming you're already set up for cvs) cvs co loncapa 6. Install the needed RPMS Needed rpms for RH7.2 install and where to get them (sort of) ------------------------------------------------------------- lon-capa rpms (install.lon-capa.org) ------------------- LON-CAPA-base LON-CAPA-systemperl LON-CAPA-krb4 LON-CAPA-mysql LON-CAPA-barcode rpms on rpmfind.net (only accept these versions) ------------------------------------------------ ipxutils ipxutils-2.2.0.18-6.i386.rpm netatalk netatalk-1.5pre6-1rh7.i386.rpm libungif-progs libungif-progs-4.1.0-9.i386.rpm libgd libgd-1.3-4.i386.rpm gnuplot gnuplot-3.7.1-5.i386.rpm rpms on install cds or updates ------------------------------ + sysreport sysreport-1.2-1.noarch.rpm + mars-nwe mars-nwe-0.99pl20-6.i386.rpm + wu-ftpd wu-ftpd-2.6.1-20.i386.rpm + linuxconf linuxconf-1.25r7-3.i386.rpm install these all with rpm -Uvh, occasionally using --force and/or --nodeps rpm -Uvh linuxconf-1.25r7-3.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh sysreport-1.2-1.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh mars-nwe-0.99pl20-6.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh wu-ftpd-2.6.1-20.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh ipxutils-2.2.0.18-6.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh netatalk-1.5pre6-1rh7.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh libungif-progs-4.1.0-9.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh libgd-1.3-4.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh gnuplot-3.7.1-5.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps LON-CAPA-base rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps rpm -Uvh LON-CAPA-systemperl.rpm rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps rpm -Uvh LON-CAPA-krb4.rpm rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps rpm -Uvh LON-CAPA-mysql.rpm rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps rpm -Uvh LON-CAPA-barcode.rpm 7. Correct some RPM errors The Perl modules installed by the systemperl rpm are not in the proper place (the rpm was designed for 5.005 and RedHat 7.2 uses 5.6.0). cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 cp -R * ../5.6.0/ 8. Fix CGI::Cookie.pm edit /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/CGI/Cookie.pm change the lines: # IE requires the path and domain to be present for some reason. $path = CGI::url(-absolute=>1) unless defined $path; to: # IE requires the path and domain to be present for some reason. ($path = $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'})=~s![^/]+$!! unless $path; 9. update LON-CAPA-base files with CVS cd ~/loncapa cvs update -d cd loncom/build make DIST='redhat7' build; make DIST='redhat7' install 10. Update LON-CAPA config files httpd configuration: cd /etc/httpd/conf cp access.conf.lpmlnew access.conf edit access.conf to reflect the correct information: PerlSetVar lonHostID YOUR LON-HOST ID PerlSetVar lonRole library PerlSetVar lonAdmEMail YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS PerlSetVar lonDefDomain YOUR DOMAIN PerlSetVar lonLoadLim 2.0 PerlSetVar lonExpire 86400 PerlSetVar lonReceipt A RANDOM NUMBER (REAL, NOT INTEGER) PerlSetVar lonSqlAccess 123 Replace the capitalized text with your information kerberos configuration edit /etc/krb.conf to reflect your kerberos information LON-CAPA hosts configuration: /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab should be updated 11. Restart the daemons /etc/init.d/httpd restart /etc/init.d/loncontrol restart 12. Updated documentation Please help us keep our documentation up to date! If there is something in this document that was unclear or required further explaination, please help us help others by improving it! SOME NOTES ON THE RPMS INSTALLED ------------------------------------------------------------------ gnuplot gnuplot-3.7.1-5.i386.rpm USE ONLY THIS VERSION OF GNUPLOT! Other versions may not have gif support compiled in and dynamically generated plots will fail! libgd libgd-1.3-4.i386.rpm Required by gnuplot ================================================================== Alternative Approaches ------------------------------------------------------------------ Regarding: Perl modules As noted above, it is possible to install then redirect the files with LON-CAPA-systemperl. Another approach is to use loncom/build/system_dependencies/perltest.pl combined with the 30+ perl specific rpms that RedHat is now releasing with version 7.*. * need to fix Cookie.pm as noted above ncftpget ftp://mirror.pa.msu.edu/linux/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/*perl*.rpm And do comparisons with output from perl CVS:loncom/build/system_dependencies/perltest.pl Here is what is found from this approach: Already installed on RedHat 7.2 by default: groff-perl-1.17.2-3.i386.rpm mod_perl-1.24_01-3.i386.rpm perl-DateManip-5.39-5.noarch.rpm perl-Digest-MD5-2.13-1.i386.rpm perl-File-MMagic-1.06-2.i386.rpm perl-HTML-Parser-3.25-2.i386.rpm perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-3.i386.rpm perl-MIME-Base64-2.12-6.i386.rpm perl-NKF-1.71-2.i386.rpm perl-Parse-Yapp-1.04-3.noarch.rpm perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-4.noarch.rpm perl-Storable-0.6.11-6.i386.rpm perl-Text-Kakasi-1.04-4.i386.rpm perl-URI-1.12-5.noarch.rpm perl-XML-Dumper-0.4-5.noarch.rpm perl-XML-Encoding-1.01-2.noarch.rpm perl-XML-Grove-0.46alpha-3.noarch.rpm perl-XML-Parser-2.30-7.i386.rpm perl-XML-Twig-2.02-2.noarch.rpm perl-libnet-1.0703-6.noarch.rpm perl-libwww-perl-5.53-3.noarch.rpm perl-libxml-enno-1.02-5.noarch.rpm perl-libxml-perl-0.07-5.noarch.rpm New installations needed: rpm -Uvh mysql-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh perl-DBD-MySQL-1.2216-4.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh perl-DBI-1.18-1.i386.rpm Still need: wget http://www.linuxjar.com/CPAN/authors/id/R/RK/RKOBES/Math-FFT-0.25.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/MVERB/GDTextUtil-0.80.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/W/WA/WADG/GDGraph3d-0.56.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/MVERB/GDGraph-1.33.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/R/RK/RKOBES/Math-Cephes-0.25.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GR/GROMMEL/Math-Random-0.64.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/GD/GD-Barcode-1.13.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/GD/GD-1.33.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/N/NE/NEDKONZ/Algorithm-Diff-1.11a.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SB/SBURKE/HTML-Tree-3.11.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/MailTools-1.15.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/ER/ERYQ/MIME-tools-BETA-5.503.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/EB/EBOHLMAN/Text-Query-Advanced-0.05.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/EB/EBOHLMAN/Text-Query-0.07.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/EB/EBOHLMAN/Text-Query-Simple-0.03.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JH/JHORWITZ/Krb4-1.1.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DP/DPARIS/Crypt-DES-2.03.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DP/DPARIS/Crypt-IDEA-1.01.tar.gz wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SE/SEYN/Safe-Hole-0.08.tar.gz Algorithm-Diff perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install Crypt-DES perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install Crypt-IDEA (some swig problems...delay) GD perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install GD-Barcode perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install GDGraph (need to do GDTextUtil first so) GDTextUtil perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install GDGraph (need to do GDTextUtil first so) perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install IO-Stringy perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install Krb4 (need to get athena kerberos...delay) MailTools perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install Math-Cephes perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install Math-Random perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install MIME-Tools perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install Safe-Hole perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install Text-Query perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install Text-Query-Advanced perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install Text-Query-Simple perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; sudo make install So last problems...
