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 | - export PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 |
---|
54 | - Run 'cpan', accept the default configuration, and do 'o conf |
---|
55 | prerequisites_policy follow'. |
---|
56 | - Parse the output of perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 on an existing |
---|
57 | server, and "notest install" them from the cpan prompt. |
---|
58 | |
---|
59 | * Install the Python eggs and Ruby gems and PEAR/PECL doohickeys that are on |
---|
60 | the other scripts.mit.edu servers and do not have RPMs. |
---|
61 | - Look at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages for Python eggs and modules. |
---|
62 | - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems. |
---|
63 | - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called). |
---|
64 | |
---|
65 | * echo 'import site, os.path; site.addsitedir(os.path.expanduser("~/lib/python2.5/site-packages"))' > /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/00scripts-home.pth |
---|
66 | |
---|
67 | * Install the credentials (machine keytab, daemon.scripts keytab, SSL |
---|
68 | certs). |
---|
69 | |
---|
70 | * Attempt to check out server/fedora/config/etc into /etc. The easiest way to |
---|
71 | do this is to create a checkout of etc in another directory and mv -f this on |
---|
72 | top of /etc. |
---|
73 | |
---|
74 | - If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to |
---|
75 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address. |
---|
76 | You will also need to modify /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, and |
---|
77 | /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf to use scripts.mit.edu instead of |
---|
78 | localhost. |
---|
79 | |
---|
80 | * Install fedora-ds-base and set up replication (see /mit/scripts/doc |
---|
81 | and /mit/geofft/Public/fedora-ds-enable-ssl-and-kerberos.diff). |
---|
82 | |
---|
83 | * Install nslcd / nss-ldapd, which, unlike nss-ldap, doesn't crash every few |
---|
84 | hours. Add /sbin/service dirsrv start and /sbin/nslcd to /etc/rc.local, or |
---|
85 | better yet package nss-ldapd properly. |
---|
86 | |
---|
87 | * Make the services dirsrv, postfix, and httpd start at boot. |
---|
88 | |
---|
89 | * Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work. |
---|
90 | |
---|
91 | * (Optional) Beat your head against a wall. |
---|
92 | |
---|
93 | * I recommend setting noatime for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab. |
---|
94 | |
---|
95 | * Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this |
---|
96 | document. |
