| 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. Configure svn not to cache |
|---|
| 4 | credentials. |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | * cd to server/fedora in the svn repository. |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | * Run "make install-deps" to install various prereqs. |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | * Create a scripts-build account, and set up rpm to build in $HOME. |
|---|
| 11 | If you just use the default setup, it will generate packages |
|---|
| 12 | in /usr/src/redhat. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | * Use the Makefile to build the scripts.mit.edu-specific Fedora |
|---|
| 15 | packages. |
|---|
| 16 | - export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin |
|---|
| 17 | - make download |
|---|
| 18 | - make setup |
|---|
| 19 | - make all |
|---|
| 20 | - openafs-devel is a build-dependency of accountadm, so you'll need to |
|---|
| 21 | install it by hand when that fails. |
|---|
| 22 | Then install all the packages as root. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | * Rebuild mit-zephyr on a 32-bit machine, like the one at Joe's home. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | * Run "make suexec" and "make suexec-install" to overwrite |
|---|
| 27 | /usr/sbin/suexec with one that works. The one installed by the |
|---|
| 28 | newly-built Apache RPM is misconfigured. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | * Check out the scripts /etc configuration, which is done most easily by |
|---|
| 31 | - svn co https://scripts.mit.edu:1111/server/fedora/config/etc |
|---|
| 32 | - \cp -a etc / |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | * Copy over root's dotfiles. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | * Install various dependencies of the scripts system, including syslog-ng, |
|---|
| 37 | glibc-devel.i386, python-twisted-core, mod_fcgid, nrpe, nagios-plugins-all. |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | * Disable SELinux and NetworkManager. |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | * Figure out why Zephyr isn't working and why the openafs /usr/vice/etc <-> |
|---|
| 42 | /etc/openafs mapping isn't in sync. |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | * Install the full list of RPMs that users expect to be on the |
|---|
| 45 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/rpm and |
|---|
| 46 | server/doc/rpm_snapshot. (Note that this is only a snapshot, and not |
|---|
| 47 | all packages may in fact be in use.) |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | * Install the full list of perl modules that users expect to be on the |
|---|
| 50 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/perl and |
|---|
| 51 | server/doc/perl_snapshot. |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | - Run 'cpan', accept the default configuration, and do 'o conf |
|---|
| 54 | prerequisites_policy follow'. |
|---|
| 55 | - Parse the output of perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 on an existing |
|---|
| 56 | server, and "notest install" them from the cpan prompt. |
|---|
| 57 | |
|---|
| 58 | * Install the Python eggs and Ruby gems and PEAR/PECL doohickeys that are on |
|---|
| 59 | the other scripts.mit.edu servers and do not have RPMs. |
|---|
| 60 | - Look at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages for Python eggs and modules. |
|---|
| 61 | - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems. |
|---|
| 62 | - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called). |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | * echo 'import site, os.path; site.addsitedir(os.path.expanduser("~/lib/python2.5/site-packages"))' > /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/00scripts-home.pth |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | * Install the credentials (machine keytab, daemon.scripts keytab, SSL |
|---|
| 67 | certs). |
|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | * Attempt to check out server/fedora/config/etc into /etc. The easiest way to |
|---|
| 70 | do this is to create a checkout of etc in another directory and mv -f this on |
|---|
| 71 | top of /etc. |
|---|
| 72 | |
|---|
| 73 | - If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to |
|---|
| 74 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address. |
|---|
| 75 | You will also need to modify /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, and |
|---|
| 76 | /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf to use scripts.mit.edu instead of |
|---|
| 77 | localhost. |
|---|
| 78 | |
|---|
| 79 | * Install fedora-ds-base and set up replication (see /mit/scripts/doc |
|---|
| 80 | and /mit/geofft/Public/fedora-ds-enable-ssl-and-kerberos.diff). |
|---|
| 81 | |
|---|
| 82 | * Install nslcd / nss-ldapd, which, unlike nss-ldap, doesn't crash every few |
|---|
| 83 | hours. Add /sbin/service dirsrv start and /sbin/nslcd to /etc/rc.local, or |
|---|
| 84 | better yet package nss-ldapd properly. |
|---|
| 85 | |
|---|
| 86 | * Make the services dirsrv, postfix, and httpd start at boot. |
|---|
| 87 | |
|---|
| 88 | * Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work. |
|---|
| 89 | |
|---|
| 90 | * (Optional) Beat your head against a wall. |
|---|
| 91 | |
|---|
| 92 | * I recommend setting noatime for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab. |
|---|
| 93 | |
|---|
| 94 | * Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this |
|---|
| 95 | document. |
