You can manually install the packages if you want, the script just makes fog “noob friendly” and searches and installs the packages for you. You can actually manually install them, then run the installer, it will tell you if a newer package is installed.

You can comment out the checks if you like, as I stated above, the installer is so it is noob friendly, after installation it will make sure the intended services are running.

I was looking at the installfog.sh but not sure where or what I need to comment out to skip the httpd and mysql-server checks?

I will start manually installing the above packages and see how things go. keeping my fingers crossed

Jaymes Driver

the package installer and the function to check the installations are included in the fog0.32/lib/redhat.

the config.sh holds the file names to download

the function.sh does the work and the checks.

look for this subroutine:
[CODE]confirmPackageInstallation()
{
for x in $packages
do
echo -n " * Checking package: $x";
rpm -q $x >/dev/null 2>&1;
if [ “$?” != “0” ]
then
echo “…Failed!”
exit 1;

    else
        echo "...OK";
    fi
done;

}[/CODE]

Should be close to the bottom.

I would edit it to read [code]
confirmPackageInstallation()
{
for x in $packages
do
echo -n " * Checking package: $x";
rpm -q $x >/dev/null 2>&1;
if [ “$?” != “0” ]
then
echo “…Failed! But continuing setup! CHECK FOR RUNNING SERVICES MANUALLY!!!”;
else
echo “…OK”;
fi
done;
} [/code]

You guys want, I can chime in.

Sorry I wasn’t very communicative so far today, had to drive 2.5 hours down south and then back.

D8TA

I would love all the help I can get right now. Chime away.

Tom Elliott

Well, it sounds like you’ve figured out all the details of the files needed to be installed.

What gets output when you run the command:
[code]cat /etc/release /etc/issue[/code]

D8TA

cat /etc/release /etc/issue

Does SUSE support the service command?

I think you’d need to use /etc/init.d/<filename> restart for this to work on your particular system.

D8TA

I reached the webpage I believe I am getting prompted for credentials. I am still having a slight issue with MySQL getting up and running so troubleshooting that at the moment. May call it a day and hit it again tomorrow.

I’ll keep you all posted.

Tom Elliott

Alright, I’ll probably be around more so tomorrow to help out where I can.

D8TA

Well, I thought I had this going. I can’t seem to get the web UI up and running and I noticed there is no MySQL database that was created. Not sure what to do next.

Jaymes Driver

LOL at this point we should start a separate script for installation on SUSE XD

I will see what I can do about the Mysql stuff, I am still trying to get some services installed on my vm

I will crack this open at home and give it a whirl, I will try to fully document the process, maybe we can help create an installer script for suse machines.

D8TA

I am going to try a couple other things and then can post my configs to help out with the installer script.

Jaymes Driver

it’s okay if we beat our head against the wall long enough Tom normally solves it

on a side note I finally got apache working again… time to break some more things maybe MYSQL is next :rolleyes:

Not certain how important clamav is but the locations were /etc/init.d/freshclam and /usr/bin/freshclam. Not sure if I am still missing a package on that one.

The Apache Web Server group should be wwwrun:www but I only found one place to place the webuser which is wwwrun.

I open a browser and key in the IP address and then prompted for authentication. I tried what I put into the mysql stuff but still nada so I am going to read the docs again to make sure I didn’t miss anything on the setup stuff.

I am attaching the files I modified for SUSE.

I, unfortunately, had many things to do this weekend and the opportunity did not present itself.

That being said, I will be on site with my virtual server tomorrow and I can plug away again

I want to give your script a run and see how she fairs.

D8TA

Just for Giggles to see how everything is suppose to work I stood up a CentOS VM and ran through the installer. Something is missing but I don’t know what on my SLED installation/installer because it doesn’t complete the full installation where you get the address to access the Web UI. It looks like some of the pieces get installed but not everything.

Jaymes Driver

Right, that’s what I’m trying to help you nail down, those missing pieces and to get them jiving.

Did your CentOS install go through well? Is it working?

Because I agree with you, some fundamental pieces seem to be a little difficult to acquire. I’m still working on getting the apache stuff working, I was going to tackle php and things like that today to try to get the web interface working, if time allows
