| + | The [http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=SME_on_CentOS_6&oldid=18561 previous] instructions on how to install SME packages on CentOS 6 minimal are now out of date, but are still available in the history [http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=SME_on_CentOS_6&action=history archive]. Please see [[SME9Alpha | SME9Alpha]] for the latest development steps. |
| | | |
− | == SME 9, based on CentOS 6 == | + | The [http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=SME_on_CentOS_6&oldid=18561 previous] version can be usefull as a starting point for: |
| + | * Creating an OpenVZ template for SME |
| + | * Building SME on other future CentOS versions |
| + | * Building SME on CentOS like distros |
| | | |
− | === Prerequisites ===
| + | <noinclude>[[Category:Howto]][[Category:SME9-Development]] |
− | * 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 ===
| |
− | * Last update Januari 21st, 2013
| |
− | * 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
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Installing the ISO ====
| |
− | | |
− | * Just install a minimal el6 installation (I just installed a few utilities like htop, screen, rsync, vim, openssh-clients mc etc…). You can use either the DVD, the minimal CD install, a net install with PXE, it's up to you
| |
− | | |
− | ==== 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
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Disable SELinux ====
| |
− | It will be easier to see what's going on (and turn off selinux at kernel level, just to be sure)
| |
− | sed -i -e 's/rhgb quiet/selinux=0/g' /boot/grub/menu.lst
| |
− | sed -i -e 's/SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/sysconfig/selinux
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Remove selinux-policy-targeted and authconfig ====
| |
− | They conflict with some e-smith/smeserver packages
| |
− | yum remove selinux-policy-targeted authconfig
| |
− | | |
− | == Configure basic requirements ==
| |
− | ==== Configure third party repo ====
| |
− | Enable the EPEL repo
| |
− | rpm -Uvh http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
| |
− | | |
− | Enable the ATrpms repo
| |

| |
− | | |
− | ==== Install some package without dependancy check ====
| |
− | | |
− | A few packages have to be installed manually without dependancy check:
| |
− | rpm -Uvh --nodeps http://sme-mirror.firewall-services.com/releases/8/smeupdates/x86_64/RPMS/smeserver-yum-2.2.0-20.el5.sme.noarch.rpm
| |
− | rpm -Uvh --nodeps http://sme-mirror.firewall-services.com/releases/8/smeupdates/x86_64/RPMS/e-smith-samba-2.2.0-49.el5.sme.noarch.rpm
| |
− | rpm -Uvh --nodeps http://sme-mirror.firewall-services.com/releases/8/smeos/x86_64/SME/e-smith-test-2.2.0-1.el5.sme.noarch.rpm
| |
− | | |
− | Two perl package need to be installed manually with sme and epel repo disabled (I need to figure out why repo priority doesn't fix this)
| |
− | yum install perl-Razor-Agent perl-Data-UUID --disablerepo=sme\* --disablerepo=epel
| |
− | | |
− | == Install e-smith-base ==
| |
− | Now, you should be ready to install e-smith-base. For me, this pulls 222 packages (166MB). For some reason, the GPGKey is not recognized, so just run yum with –nogpgcheck
| |
− | yum --nogpgcheck install e-smith-base
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Install the remaining e-smith/smeserver packages ====
| |
− | Now install all the remaining e-smith/smeserver packages
| |
− | yum --nogpgcheck install e-smith\* smeserver\*
| |
− | | |
− | It should install the following packages and their dependancies:
| |
− | e-smith
| |
− | e-smith-LPRng
| |
− | e-smith-apache
| |
− | e-smith-backup
| |
− | e-smith-devtools
| |
− | e-smith-dynamicdns-dyndns
| |
− | e-smith-dynamicdns-dyndns.org
| |
− | e-smith-dynamicdns-tzo
| |
− | e-smith-dynamicdns-yi
| |
− | e-smith-flexbackup
| |
− | e-smith-horde
| |
− | e-smith-hosts
| |
− | e-smith-imp
| |
− | e-smith-ingo
| |
− | e-smith-ldap
| |
− | e-smith-lib-compspec
| |
− | e-smith-mysql
| |
− | e-smith-ntp
| |
− | e-smith-oidentd
| |
− | e-smith-openssh
| |
− | e-smith-php
| |
− | e-smith-pptpd
| |
− | e-smith-proftpd
| |
− | e-smith-proxy
| |
− | e-smith-qmailanalog
| |
− | e-smith-quota
| |
− | e-smith-radiusd
| |
− | e-smith-turba
| |
− | e-smith-viewlogfiles
| |
− | smeserver-release
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Install samba ====
| |
− | Now install samba-client (e-smith-samba has been installed manually without dep check, otherwise it would have pulled samba3x package instead of samba)
| |
− | yum install samba-client
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Replace upstart with SysVinit ====
| |
− | We've almost finished, we just have to replace upstart with the good old SysVinit, because upstart doesn't support the custom runlevel 7 SME uses
| |
− | rpm -e --nodeps upstart sysvinit-tools
| |
− | rpm -Uvh http://sme-mirror.firewall-services.com/releases/8/smeos/x86_64/SME/SysVinit-2.86-17.el5.x86_64.rpm
| |
− | | |
− | {{note box|Do we really need/want to replace upstart? This is an easy fix now to get COS 6 with e-smith/SME packages to to boot, but it differs from upstream COS, which we try really hard not to do.
| |
− | | |
− | Good question, where is the answer? Please post this to the devinfo mailing list so it can be decided on in this case}}
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Move some perl modules ====
| |
− | We need to copy some perl modules to a new directory, because @INC has changed in EL6:
| |
− | cp -a /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/ /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Create a service entry for rsyslog ====
| |
− | We need to create a new service entry in the DB, because the standard syslog package is now rsyslog:
| |
− | /sbin/e-smith/db configuration set rsyslog service status enabled
| |
− | cp -a /etc/rc7.d/S05syslog /etc/rc7.d/S05rsyslog
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Run post-upgrade ====
| |
− | We can now try to post-upgrade
| |
− | /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | And reboot. Unfortunatly, I wasn't able to reboot properly at this stage, because of the upstart → SysVinit transition (the error message is ”/dev/initctl: No such file or directory”) so I had to destroy the VM completely
| |
− | | |
− | ==== The system boots but completly broken :-) ====
| |
− | Ok, so the system should now boot, but is really not usable, after a quick look, at least the following doesn't work as expected:
| |
− | | |
− | * The console on the first boot don't really work. It asks for the admin password (and BTW the password appears in cleartext) but it's all
| |
− | * No network interfaces are detected by the console menu (because kudzu is not installed, only available in SME repo, and require an older python which conflicts with the the one * from EL6)
| |
− | * slapd won't start
| |
− | * httpd won't start
| |
− | * squid won't start
| |
− | * manually running expand-template has no effect (and no error message is printed). But signal-event seems to work (files get expanded and services restarted)
| |
− | * as the network interface are not configured, all the services which requires the internel IP (or the external one) in their config (at least sshd squid and dnscache) won't start
| |
− | * even if we manually add 0.0.0.0 after the ListenAddress line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, we cannot connect using SSH (the daemon is running, but from a computer on the same network, I get a ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host error)
| |
− | * qpsmtpd won't start (can't locate Qpsmtpd/TcpServer.pm in @INC)
| |
− | * There's probably a lot more which is not working
| |
− | | |
− | == 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.

− | You will need to modify a bunch of perl module rpms to use
| |
− | /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl instead of /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/. You'll
| |
− | also need to replace all the perl module rpms which are specific for perl
| |
− | 5.8.5 and 5.8.8 with ones which will work with RHEL6. Most of those will
| |
− | come from epel or rpmforge.
| |
− | | |
− | There's a little work to switch to rsyslog instead of syslog.
| |
− | | |
− | You'll need either a new whiptail rpm or new console.pm which uses only
| |
− | unmodified dialog.
