Line 1: − {{Level|Developer}}+ − == SME on CentOS 6 == − + − These are my own attempts. I am not qualified to do this. Do NOT try it on anything other than a Virtual Machine, or a test machine.<br />}}+ + − These are some notes on my attempts at installing SME on CentOS 6. Pardon the bad formatting - I was in a rush and haven't got to grasps with Wiki formatting yet.+ + + + − 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.<br /> − 2. Install CentOS 6 Minimal and then try to add existing SME v8 (el5) packages − − I decided to try Route 1 first. − − I did the following using a Virtualbox VM for expediency allowing me to revert changes easily if I needed too. − − == 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 van 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 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 − − {{Note box|We need to decide on 32 or 64 arch}} − − === 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” − − === 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].*//' − − 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 − − {{Note box|Which command will be the de facto standard to use so we are all talking about the same list??}} − − This is the output of the non-GREP variant: − − perl-Digest-SHA Y − perl Y − perl-Archive-Tar Y − perl-Authen-PAM ****** − perl-Authen-SASL Y − perl-BSD-Resource ****** − perl-CGI-FormMagick ****** − perl-CGI-Persistent ****** − perl-Class-ParamParser ****** − perl-Clone Y − perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2 Y − perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib Y − perl-Compress-Zlib Y − perl-Convert-ASN1 Y − perl-Convert-BinHex Y − perl-Convert-TNEF ****** − perl-Crypt-Cracklib ****** − perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-Bignum Y − perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-Random Y − perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA Y − perl-DateManip Y − perl-DBD-MySQL Y − perl-DBI Y − perl-Digest-HMAC Y − perl-Digest-SHA1 Y − perl-Email-Date-Format Y − perl-Encode-Detect Y − perl-Error Y − perl-File-MMagic ****** − perl-Geography-Countries ****** − perl-HTML-Parser Y − perl-HTML-Tabulate ****** − perl-HTML-Tagset Y − perl-I18N-AcceptLanguage ****** − perl-IO-Compress-Base Y − perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2 Y − perl-IO-Compress-Zlib Y − perl-IO-Socket-INET6 Y − perl-IO-Socket-SSL Y − perl-IO-stringy Y − perl-IO-Zlib Y − perl-IP-Country ****** − perl-LDAP Y − perl-libwww-perl Y − perl-Locale-gettext ****** − perl-Mail-DKIM Y − perl-Mail-RFC822-Address ****** − perl-Mail-SPF ****** − perl-MailTools Y − perl-MIME-Lite Y − perl-MIME-tools Y − perl-Net-DNS Y − perl-Net-Ident ****** − perl-Net-IP Y − perl-Net-IPv4Addr ****** − perl-Net-SMTP-SSL Y − perl-Net-SSLeay Y − perl-NetAddr-IP Y − perl-Object-Persistence ****** − perl-Package-Constants Y − perl-Quota ****** − perl-Razor-Agent ****** − perl-RPM2 ****** − perl-Socket6 Y − perl-suidperl Y − perl-Test-Inline ****** − perl-Text-Iconv Y − perl-Text-Template ****** − perl-Time-TAI64 ****** − perl-TimeDate Y − perl-Unix-ConfigFile ****** − perl-URI Y − perl-version Y − perl-WWW-Automate ****** − perl-XML-NamespaceSupport Y − perl-XML-Parser Y − perl-XML-SAX Y − − − I am now going to try and lob in the existing/missing el5 versions to see what happens.

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.
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
