1 | This document is a how-to for installing a Fedora scripts.mit.edu server. |
---|
2 | |
---|
3 | Helper files for the install are located in server/fedora/config. |
---|
4 | |
---|
5 | * Start with a normal install of Fedora 9. |
---|
6 | |
---|
7 | * Edit /etc/selinux/config so it has SELINUX=disabled. |
---|
8 | |
---|
9 | * Check out the scripts.mit.edu svn repository. Configure svn not to cache |
---|
10 | credentials. |
---|
11 | |
---|
12 | * cd to server/fedora in the svn repository. |
---|
13 | |
---|
14 | * Run "make install-deps" to install various prereqs. Nonstandard |
---|
15 | deps are in /mit/scripts/rpm. |
---|
16 | |
---|
17 | * Create a scripts-build user account, and set up rpm to build in |
---|
18 | $HOME by doing a |
---|
19 | cp config/home/scripts-build/.rpmmacros /home/scripts-build/ |
---|
20 | (If you just use the default setup, it will generate packages |
---|
21 | in /usr/src/redhat.) |
---|
22 | |
---|
23 | * su scripts-build - |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | * Make sure that server/fedora (where you currently are) is writable |
---|
26 | by user scripts-build. |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | * Use the Makefile to build the scripts.mit.edu-specific Fedora |
---|
29 | packages. |
---|
30 | - export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin |
---|
31 | - make download |
---|
32 | - make setup |
---|
33 | - make all |
---|
34 | - openafs-devel is a build-dependency of accountadm, so you'll need to |
---|
35 | install the openafs-devel package you just built by hand when that fails. |
---|
36 | |
---|
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 \ |
---|
47 | whoisd-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm |
---|
48 | |
---|
49 | * Rebuild mit-zephyr on a 32-bit machine, like the one at Joe's home. |
---|
50 | |
---|
51 | * Run "make suexec" and "make install-suexec" to overwrite |
---|
52 | /usr/sbin/suexec with one that works. The one installed by the |
---|
53 | newly-built Apache RPM is misconfigured. |
---|
54 | |
---|
55 | * Install and configure bind |
---|
56 | - env NSS_NONLOCAL_IGNORE=1 yum install bind |
---|
57 | - chkconfig named on |
---|
58 | - service named start |
---|
59 | |
---|
60 | * Check out the scripts /etc configuration, which is done most easily by |
---|
61 | $ svn co svn://scripts.mit.edu/server/fedora/config/etc |
---|
62 | # \cp -a etc / |
---|
63 | |
---|
64 | * Reload the iptables config to take down the restrictive firewall |
---|
65 | service iptables restart |
---|
66 | |
---|
67 | * Copy over root's dotfiles from one of the other machines. |
---|
68 | |
---|
69 | * Replace rsyslog with syslog-ng by doing: |
---|
70 | # rpm -e --nodeps rsyslog |
---|
71 | # yum install syslog-ng |
---|
72 | |
---|
73 | * Install various dependencies of the scripts system, including syslog-ng, |
---|
74 | glibc-devel.i386, python-twisted-core, mod_fcgid, nrpe, nagios-plugins-all. |
---|
75 | |
---|
76 | * Disable NetworkManager (with yum remove). |
---|
77 | |
---|
78 | * Fix the openafs /usr/vice/etc <-> /etc/openafs mapping by changing |
---|
79 | /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo to contain: |
---|
80 | /afs:/usr/vice/cache:10000000 |
---|
81 | |
---|
82 | * Figure out why Zephyr isn't working |
---|
83 | |
---|
84 | * Install the full list of RPMs that users expect to be on the |
---|
85 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/rpm and |
---|
86 | server/doc/rpm_snapshot. (Note that this is only a snapshot, and not |
---|
87 | all packages may in fact be in use.) |
---|
88 | |
---|
89 | * Install the full list of perl modules that users expect to be on the |
---|
90 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/perl and |
---|
91 | server/doc/perl_snapshot. |
---|
92 | |
---|
93 | - export PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 |
---|
94 | - Run 'cpan', accept the default configuration, and do 'o conf |
---|
95 | prerequisites_policy follow'. |
---|
96 | - Parse the output of perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 on an existing |
---|
97 | server, and "notest install" them from the cpan prompt. |
---|
98 | |
---|
99 | * Install the Python eggs and Ruby gems and PEAR/PECL doohickeys that are on |
---|
100 | the other scripts.mit.edu servers and do not have RPMs. |
---|
101 | - Look at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages for Python eggs and modules. |
---|
102 | - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems. |
---|
103 | - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called). |
---|
104 | |
---|
105 | * echo 'import site, os.path; site.addsitedir(os.path.expanduser("~/lib/python2.5/site-packages"))' > /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/00scripts-home.pth |
---|
106 | |
---|
107 | * Install the credentials (machine keytab, daemon.scripts keytab, SSL |
---|
108 | certs). |
---|
109 | |
---|
110 | * If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to |
---|
111 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address. |
---|
112 | You will also need to modify /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, and |
---|
113 | /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf to use scripts.mit.edu instead of |
---|
114 | localhost. |
---|
115 | |
---|
116 | * Install fedora-ds-base and set up replication (see ./HOWTO-SETUP-LDAP |
---|
117 | and ./fedora-ds-enable-ssl-and-kerberos.diff). |
---|
118 | |
---|
119 | * Install nslcd / nss-ldapd, which, unlike nss-ldap, doesn't crash every few |
---|
120 | hours. Add /sbin/service dirsrv start and /sbin/nslcd to /etc/rc.local, or |
---|
121 | better yet package nss-ldapd properly. |
---|
122 | |
---|
123 | * Make the services dirsrv, postfix, and httpd start at boot. |
---|
124 | |
---|
125 | * Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work. |
---|
126 | |
---|
127 | * (Optional) Beat your head against a wall. |
---|
128 | |
---|
129 | * Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this |
---|
130 | document. |
