Most recently, it was because there # was a 64-bit RPM installed; remove it and install Joe's 32-bit one # Install the athena-base, athena-lprng, and athena-lprng-misc RPMs # from the Athena 9 build (these are present in our yum repo). Note # that you will have to use --nodeps for at least one of the lprng # ones because it thinks it needs the Athena hesiod RPM. It doesn't # really. Before doing this, run it without --nodeps and arrange to # install the rest of the things it really does depend on. This will # include a bunch of 32-bit rpms; go ahead and install the .i586 versions # of them. In the case of the Kerberos libraries, you'll be told that # there are conflicting files with the 64-bit versions of the packages, # which we scriptsify. You'll have to use --force to install those # rpms despite the conflicts. After doing that, you may want to # install the corresponding 64-bit scriptsified versions again, just # to be safe in case the 32-bit versions overwrite files that differ. # When you try this, it will complain that you already have the same # version installed; again, you'll need to use --force to do it anyway. # Yuck. # Install the full list of RPMs that users expect to be on the # scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/rpm and # server/doc/rpm_snapshot. (Note that this is only a snapshot, and not # all packages may in fact be in use.) # Check which packages are installed on your new server that are not # in the snapshot, and remove ones that aren't needed for some reason # on the new machine. Otherwise, aside from bloat, you may end up # with undesirable things for security, like sendmail. # Install the full list of perl modules that users expect to be on the # scripts.mit.edu servers. # - export PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 # - Run 'cpan', accept the default configuration, and do 'o conf # prerequisites_policy follow'. # - Parse the output of perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 on an existing # server, and "notest install" them from the cpan prompt. # TO DO THIS: # On another server, run: # perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 | cut -f 3 -d '<' | cut -f 1 -d '|' | sort -u | perl -ne 'chomp; print "notest install $_\n" if system("rpm -q --whatprovides \"perl($_)\" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null")' > /mit/scripts/config/perl-packages.txt # Then on the server you're installing, # cat perl-packages.txt | perl -MCPAN -e shell # Install the Python eggs and Ruby gems and PEAR/PECL doohickeys that are on # the other scripts.mit.edu servers and do not have RPMs. # - Look at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages and # /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages for Python eggs and modules. # First use 'yum search' to see if the relevant package is now available # as an RPM, and install that if it is. If not, then use easy_install. # - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems. # Again, use 'yum search' and prefer RPMs, but failing that, 'gem install'. # - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called). # Yet again, 'yum search' for RPMs before resorting to 'pear install'. Note # that for things in the beta repo, you'll need 'pear install package-beta'. # - Look at `pecl list` for PECL things. 'yum search', and if you must, # 'pecl install' needed items. # echo 'import site, os.path; site.addsitedir(os.path.expanduser("~/lib/python2.6/site-packages"))' > /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/00scripts-home.pth # Build and install the scripts php module that enhances error logging info # XXX This thing really ought to be packaged # cp -r /srv/repository/server/common/oursrc/php_scripts /root # cd /root/php_scripts # ./build.sh # cp test/modules/scripts.so /usr/lib64/php/modules # Install the credentials. There are a lot of things to remember here: # o You probably installed the machine keytab long ago # o Use ktutil to combine the host/scripts.mit.edu and # host/scripts-vhosts.mit.edu keys with host/this-server.mit.edu in # the keytab. Do not use 'k5srvutil change' on the combined keytab # or you'll break the other servers. # o The daemon.scripts keytab # o The SSL cert private key # o The LDAP password for the signup process # o The SQL password for the signup process # o The LDAP keytab for this server, which will be used later # o Replace the ssh host keys with the ones common to all scripts servers # o You'll install an LDAP certificate signed by the scripts CA later # o Make sure root's .k5login is correct # o Make sure logview's .k5login is correct # If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to # /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address. # You will also need to modify /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/nss-ldapd.conf, # /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, and /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf to # use scripts.mit.edu instead of localhost. # Install fedora-ds-base and set up replication (see ./HOWTO-SETUP-LDAP # and ./fedora-ds-enable-ssl-and-kerberos.diff). # Make the services dirsrv, nslcd, nscd, postfix, and httpd start at # boot. Run chkconfig to make sure the set of services to be run is # correct. # cd /etc/postfix; postmap virtual # Otherwise postfix will appear to work, but actually not deliver mail # Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work. # Ensure that PHP isn't broken: # # mkdir /tmp/sessions # # chmod 01777 /tmp/sessions # Reboot the machine to restore a consistent state, in case you # changed anything. # (Optional) Beat your head against a wall. # Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this # document.
