| 1 | This document is a how-to for installing a Fedora scripts.mit.edu server. |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | * Check out the scripts.mit.edu svn repository. |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | * cd to server/fedora in the svn repository. |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | * Run "make install-deps" to install various prereqs. |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | * Use the Makefile to build the scripts.mit.edu-specific Fedora |
|---|
| 10 | packages. |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | * Run "make suexec" and "make suexec-install" to overwrite |
|---|
| 13 | /usr/sbin/suexec with one that works. The one installed by the |
|---|
| 14 | newly-built Apache RPM is misconfigured. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | * Install the full list of RPMs that users expect to be on the |
|---|
| 17 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/rpm and |
|---|
| 18 | server/doc/rpm_snapshot. (Note that this is only a snapshot, and not |
|---|
| 19 | all packages may in fact be in use.) |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | * Install the full list of perl modules that users expect to be on the |
|---|
| 22 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/perl and |
|---|
| 23 | server/doc/perl_snapshot. |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | * Install rails (versions 1.1.6 and 1.2.2). |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | * Install the credentials (machine keytab, daemon.scripts keytab, SSL |
|---|
| 28 | certs). |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | * Attempt to check out server/fedora/config/etc into /etc. This involves |
|---|
| 31 | individually renaming directories out of the way, copying over any |
|---|
| 32 | configuration files from SVN (and the .svn directory), and moving the |
|---|
| 33 | original directory back. |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | - Configure Apache. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | - Try not to misconfigure PAM or SSH in the process. |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | - If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to |
|---|
| 40 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address. |
|---|
| 41 | You will also need to modify /etc/ldap.conf and |
|---|
| 42 | /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf to use scripts.mit.edu instead of |
|---|
| 43 | localhost. |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | * (Optional) Beat your head against a wall. |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | * I recommend setting noatime for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab. |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | * Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this |
|---|
| 50 | document. |
