[371] | 1 | This document is a how-to for installing a Fedora scripts.mit.edu server. |
---|
[181] | 2 | |
---|
[861] | 3 | Helper files for the install are located in server/fedora/config. |
---|
| 4 | |
---|
[881] | 5 | * Start with a normal install of Fedora. |
---|
[861] | 6 | |
---|
[881] | 7 | * Edit /etc/selinux/config so it has SELINUX=disabled and reboot. |
---|
[861] | 8 | |
---|
[788] | 9 | * Check out the scripts.mit.edu svn repository. Configure svn not to cache |
---|
| 10 | credentials. |
---|
[387] | 11 | |
---|
| 12 | * cd to server/fedora in the svn repository. |
---|
| 13 | |
---|
[861] | 14 | * Run "make install-deps" to install various prereqs. Nonstandard |
---|
| 15 | deps are in /mit/scripts/rpm. |
---|
[387] | 16 | |
---|
[861] | 17 | * Create a scripts-build user account, and set up rpm to build in |
---|
| 18 | $HOME by doing a |
---|
| 19 | cp config/home/scripts-build/.rpmmacros /home/scripts-build/ |
---|
| 20 | (If you just use the default setup, it will generate packages |
---|
| 21 | in /usr/src/redhat.) |
---|
[785] | 22 | |
---|
[861] | 23 | * su scripts-build - |
---|
| 24 | |
---|
| 25 | * Make sure that server/fedora (where you currently are) is writable |
---|
| 26 | by user scripts-build. |
---|
| 27 | |
---|
[387] | 28 | * Use the Makefile to build the scripts.mit.edu-specific Fedora |
---|
| 29 | packages. |
---|
[796] | 30 | - export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin |
---|
[785] | 31 | - make download |
---|
| 32 | - make setup |
---|
| 33 | - make all |
---|
| 34 | - openafs-devel is a build-dependency of accountadm, so you'll need to |
---|
[861] | 35 | install the openafs-devel package you just built by hand when that fails. |
---|
[387] | 36 | |
---|
[861] | 37 | * Then install the packages you just built as root: |
---|
| 38 | - yum localinstall --nogpgcheck accountadm-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm \ |
---|
| 39 | execsys-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm httpd* \ |
---|
| 40 | kmod-openafs-1.4.7-1.1.2.6.25_14.fc9.x86_64.rpm \ |
---|
| 41 | krb5-{debuginfo,devel,libs,pki,workstation-1}* \ |
---|
| 42 | logview-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm mit-zephyr-2.1-6-linux.x86_64.rpm \ |
---|
| 43 | mod_ssl-2.2.8-3.x86_64.rpm nss_nonlocal-* \ |
---|
| 44 | openafs-1.4.7-1.1.1.x86_64.rpm \ |
---|
| 45 | openafs-{authlibs,client,debuginfo,devel,docs,krb5}* openssh* \ |
---|
| 46 | sql-signup-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm tokensys-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm \ |
---|
[916] | 47 | whoisd-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm \ |
---|
| 48 | nss-ldapd* |
---|
[861] | 49 | |
---|
[796] | 50 | * Rebuild mit-zephyr on a 32-bit machine, like the one at Joe's home. |
---|
| 51 | |
---|
[861] | 52 | * Run "make suexec" and "make install-suexec" to overwrite |
---|
[562] | 53 | /usr/sbin/suexec with one that works. The one installed by the |
---|
| 54 | newly-built Apache RPM is misconfigured. |
---|
[881] | 55 | ... Except Anders claims he fixed this. |
---|
[562] | 56 | |
---|
[881] | 57 | * Remember to set NSS_NONLOCAL_IGNORE=1 anytime you're setting up |
---|
[906] | 58 | anything, e.g. using yum. Otherwise useradd will query LDAP in a stupid way |
---|
| 59 | that makes it hang forever. |
---|
[881] | 60 | |
---|
[861] | 61 | * Install and configure bind |
---|
| 62 | - env NSS_NONLOCAL_IGNORE=1 yum install bind |
---|
| 63 | - chkconfig named on |
---|
| 64 | - service named start |
---|
| 65 | |
---|
[788] | 66 | * Check out the scripts /etc configuration, which is done most easily by |
---|
[861] | 67 | $ svn co svn://scripts.mit.edu/server/fedora/config/etc |
---|
| 68 | # \cp -a etc / |
---|
[788] | 69 | |
---|
[862] | 70 | * Reload the iptables config to take down the restrictive firewall |
---|
| 71 | service iptables restart |
---|
| 72 | |
---|
[861] | 73 | * Copy over root's dotfiles from one of the other machines. |
---|
[803] | 74 | |
---|
[861] | 75 | * Replace rsyslog with syslog-ng by doing: |
---|
| 76 | # rpm -e --nodeps rsyslog |
---|
| 77 | # yum install syslog-ng |
---|
| 78 | |
---|
[788] | 79 | * Install various dependencies of the scripts system, including syslog-ng, |
---|
[798] | 80 | glibc-devel.i386, python-twisted-core, mod_fcgid, nrpe, nagios-plugins-all. |
---|
[788] | 81 | |
---|
[906] | 82 | * Disable NetworkManager with chkconfig NetworkManager off. Configure |
---|
[881] | 83 | networking on the front end and back end, and the routing table to send |
---|
[906] | 84 | traffic over the back end. Make sure that chkconfig reports "network" on, so |
---|
| 85 | that the network will still be configured at next boot. |
---|
[788] | 86 | |
---|
[861] | 87 | * Fix the openafs /usr/vice/etc <-> /etc/openafs mapping by changing |
---|
| 88 | /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo to contain: |
---|
| 89 | /afs:/usr/vice/cache:10000000 |
---|
[788] | 90 | |
---|
[881] | 91 | * Figure out why Zephyr isn't working. Most recently, it was because there |
---|
| 92 | was a 64-bit RPM installed; remove it and install Joe's 32-bit one |
---|
[861] | 93 | |
---|
[387] | 94 | * Install the full list of RPMs that users expect to be on the |
---|
| 95 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/rpm and |
---|
[562] | 96 | server/doc/rpm_snapshot. (Note that this is only a snapshot, and not |
---|
| 97 | all packages may in fact be in use.) |
---|
[387] | 98 | |
---|
| 99 | * Install the full list of perl modules that users expect to be on the |
---|
| 100 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/perl and |
---|
| 101 | server/doc/perl_snapshot. |
---|
| 102 | |
---|
[832] | 103 | - export PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 |
---|
[812] | 104 | - Run 'cpan', accept the default configuration, and do 'o conf |
---|
| 105 | prerequisites_policy follow'. |
---|
[818] | 106 | - Parse the output of perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 on an existing |
---|
| 107 | server, and "notest install" them from the cpan prompt. |
---|
[812] | 108 | |
---|
| 109 | * Install the Python eggs and Ruby gems and PEAR/PECL doohickeys that are on |
---|
| 110 | the other scripts.mit.edu servers and do not have RPMs. |
---|
[818] | 111 | - Look at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages for Python eggs and modules. |
---|
| 112 | - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems. |
---|
| 113 | - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called). |
---|
[785] | 114 | |
---|
[812] | 115 | * echo 'import site, os.path; site.addsitedir(os.path.expanduser("~/lib/python2.5/site-packages"))' > /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/00scripts-home.pth |
---|
| 116 | |
---|
[387] | 117 | * Install the credentials (machine keytab, daemon.scripts keytab, SSL |
---|
| 118 | certs). |
---|
| 119 | |
---|
[916] | 120 | * If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to |
---|
[562] | 121 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address. |
---|
[916] | 122 | You will also need to modify /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/nss-ldapd.conf, |
---|
| 123 | /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, and /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf to |
---|
| 124 | use scripts.mit.edu instead of localhost. |
---|
[562] | 125 | |
---|
[861] | 126 | * Install fedora-ds-base and set up replication (see ./HOWTO-SETUP-LDAP |
---|
| 127 | and ./fedora-ds-enable-ssl-and-kerberos.diff). |
---|
[785] | 128 | |
---|
[916] | 129 | * Make the services dirsrv, nslcd, nscd, postfix, and httpd start at |
---|
| 130 | boot. Run chkconfig to make sure the set of services to be run is |
---|
| 131 | correct. |
---|
[818] | 132 | |
---|
[803] | 133 | * Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work. |
---|
| 134 | |
---|
[875] | 135 | * Reboot the machine to restore a consistent state, in case you |
---|
| 136 | changed anything. |
---|
| 137 | |
---|
[562] | 138 | * (Optional) Beat your head against a wall. |
---|
| 139 | |
---|
[387] | 140 | * Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this |
---|
| 141 | document. |
