| − | == SME 9, based on CentOS 6 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Prerequisites ===
| |
| − | * VIrtual machine (Vmware, Parallels or Virtualbox)
| |
| − | * Centos Minimal 64-bit architecture. 32-bit may follow later
| |
| − | * Access to EPEL, RPMForge and ATrpms repositories
| |
| − | * Setting up a RPM Building environment
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Current status ===
| |
| − | * Identify all SME Server specific packages (John C.) See notes below.
| |
| − | * Setting up a RPM building environment (Ian W.)
| |
| − | * booting CentOS 6 with the SME packages installed. (Daniel)
| |
| − | * Notes:
| |
| − | ** Some RPMs need to be got from EPEL, RPMForge and ATrpms
| |
| − | ** Needs a hack in yum-priority.conf
| |
| − | ** selinux-policy-targeted and authconfig need to be removed
| |
| − | ** You have to completely disable SELinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux
| |
| − | ** LOTS of things are broken, but then that's no great surprise.
| |
| − | ** If we have a booting system we can start to look at fixing it.
| |
| − | ** nke has been playing on 32 bit as well - I guess it will probably be worth replicating from 64 to 32 to see what happens.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | There are two paths that I can see to testing this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Install CentOS 6 Minimal and try to add the equivalent 6 packages and see what is missing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. Install CentOS 6 Minimal and then try to add existing SME v8 (el5) packages
| |
| − | | |
| − | This how-to takes on route 1.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Installing CentOS 6 minimal ==
| |
| − | First a few notes on CentOS 6 minimal, which is a bare bones install with very little on board. You can download a copy from one of the CentOS mirrors [http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 here]
| |
| − | | |
| − | * As per above note, only use Virtual Machine for testing purposes. A good free VM package can be obtained [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads here]
| |
| − | * You might want to note down as much as possible so you yourself and others can reproduce the actions
| |
| − | * Don't use yum with the '-y' flag (install/upgrade without further user interaction) when using the yum install/upgrade commands. (beware copy/paste yum commands)
| |
| − | * you might want to note down all packages listed by yum to be installed/upgraded AND their dependencies
| |
| − | * When you are using 64-bit, please add '--exlcude=*86' at the end of the yum command line. This will prevent i386/i686 packages to be installed as 'required' dependencies
| |
| − | * Make regular snapshots of your Virtual Machine and describe them specifically. At least when you've reached an important milestone for yourself
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | === Enable networking ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each boot you have to start the network etc etc. I decided it was better with the minimal install and touch as little as possible - if I could then get SME packages installed I could then use that to configure networking later.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To start the networking
| |
| − | ./etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth eth0
| |
| − | | |
| − | or
| |
| − | dhclient eth0
| |
| − | | |
| − | or if you want to assign a IP address yourself.
| |
| − | ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
| |
| − | echo "nameserver 192.168.1.254" >> /etc/resolv.conf
| |
| − | route add default gw 192.168.1.254 eth0
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To make your changes permanent you will need to edit the configuration file to make it active on boot. There is only the vi text editor, you can also install nano.
| |
| − | yum install nano
| |
| − | nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
| |
| − | and set ONBOOT=”YES”
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the current purposes I decided to start manually each time so I that left the base settings as untouched as possible.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Enable SSH ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | On first run make sure we have ssh installed so we can use a terminal to login - much easier for copy and pasting stuff :
| |
| − | yum install open-ssh*
| |
| − | | |
| − | To get to the sshd service you will need this on each boot :
| |
| − | service iptables stop
| |
| − | service sshd start
| |
| − | | |
| − | == SME Server specific/required packages ==
| |
| − | To get a list of all specific SME Server packages you can run:
| |
| − | rpm -qa | grep 'smeserver\|e-smith'| sed -e 's/-[0-9].*//'|sort > smeserver-packages.txt
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == SME Server specific/required perl packages ==
| |
| − | I decided to attack perl first as the SME stuff is written in it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here is a list of perl files from v8 and their equivalent in CentOS 6 if available....
| |
| − | | |
| − | To get a list of the file names in v8 either do (all file starting with the string 'perl'):
| |
| − | rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' name=perl\*
| |
| − | (Thanks Shad !)
| |
| − | | |
| − | or as per suggestion on the lists (All files containing the string 'perl')
| |
| − | rpm -qa | grep perl | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*//'
| |
| − | (Thanks Gordon !)
| |
| − | | |
| − | To get a alphabetically sorted list (which is easier to compare lists) add '|sort' to the commands above.
| |
| − | rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' name=perl\*|sort
| |
| − | rpm -qa | grep perl | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*//'|sort
| |
| − | | |
| − | To export the list to a plain text file you could do:
| |
| − | rpm -qa | grep perl | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*//'|sort > perl-list.txt
| |
| − | (Thanks HF !)

| − | I am now going to try and lob in the existing/missing el5 versions to see what happens. My guess is we will need to rebuild the required modules.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == FormMagick ==
| |
| − | Next will be an attack on FormMagick - there is no package in the default install so need to figure that out. In may indeed be horrible, but we can live with it for now.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hopefully with perl and FormMagick installed, most of the SME stuff *should* basically install.
