[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 \ |
---|
| 47 | whoisd-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm |
---|
| 48 | |
---|
[796] | 49 | * Rebuild mit-zephyr on a 32-bit machine, like the one at Joe's home. |
---|
| 50 | |
---|
[861] | 51 | * Run "make suexec" and "make install-suexec" to overwrite |
---|
[562] | 52 | /usr/sbin/suexec with one that works. The one installed by the |
---|
| 53 | newly-built Apache RPM is misconfigured. |
---|
[881] | 54 | ... Except Anders claims he fixed this. |
---|
[562] | 55 | |
---|
[881] | 56 | * Remember to set NSS_NONLOCAL_IGNORE=1 anytime you're setting up |
---|
| 57 | anything, e.g. using yum |
---|
| 58 | |
---|
[861] | 59 | * Install and configure bind |
---|
| 60 | - env NSS_NONLOCAL_IGNORE=1 yum install bind |
---|
| 61 | - chkconfig named on |
---|
| 62 | - service named start |
---|
| 63 | |
---|
[788] | 64 | * Check out the scripts /etc configuration, which is done most easily by |
---|
[861] | 65 | $ svn co svn://scripts.mit.edu/server/fedora/config/etc |
---|
| 66 | # \cp -a etc / |
---|
[788] | 67 | |
---|
[862] | 68 | * Reload the iptables config to take down the restrictive firewall |
---|
| 69 | service iptables restart |
---|
| 70 | |
---|
[861] | 71 | * Copy over root's dotfiles from one of the other machines. |
---|
[803] | 72 | |
---|
[861] | 73 | * Replace rsyslog with syslog-ng by doing: |
---|
| 74 | # rpm -e --nodeps rsyslog |
---|
| 75 | # yum install syslog-ng |
---|
| 76 | |
---|
[788] | 77 | * Install various dependencies of the scripts system, including syslog-ng, |
---|
[798] | 78 | glibc-devel.i386, python-twisted-core, mod_fcgid, nrpe, nagios-plugins-all. |
---|
[788] | 79 | |
---|
[881] | 80 | * Disable NetworkManager (with yum remove), if it makes you happy. Configure |
---|
| 81 | networking on the front end and back end, and the routing table to send |
---|
| 82 | traffic over the back end. Make sure to run "chkconfig network on" to ensure |
---|
| 83 | that the network will still be configured at |
---|
| 84 | next boot, |
---|
[788] | 85 | |
---|
[861] | 86 | * Fix the openafs /usr/vice/etc <-> /etc/openafs mapping by changing |
---|
| 87 | /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo to contain: |
---|
| 88 | /afs:/usr/vice/cache:10000000 |
---|
[788] | 89 | |
---|
[881] | 90 | * Figure out why Zephyr isn't working. Most recently, it was because there |
---|
| 91 | was a 64-bit RPM installed; remove it and install Joe's 32-bit one |
---|
[861] | 92 | |
---|
[387] | 93 | * Install the full list of RPMs that users expect to be on the |
---|
| 94 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/rpm and |
---|
[562] | 95 | server/doc/rpm_snapshot. (Note that this is only a snapshot, and not |
---|
| 96 | all packages may in fact be in use.) |
---|
[387] | 97 | |
---|
| 98 | * Install the full list of perl modules that users expect to be on the |
---|
| 99 | scripts.mit.edu servers. See server/doc/perl and |
---|
| 100 | server/doc/perl_snapshot. |
---|
| 101 | |
---|
[832] | 102 | - export PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 |
---|
[812] | 103 | - Run 'cpan', accept the default configuration, and do 'o conf |
---|
| 104 | prerequisites_policy follow'. |
---|
[818] | 105 | - Parse the output of perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 on an existing |
---|
| 106 | server, and "notest install" them from the cpan prompt. |
---|
[812] | 107 | |
---|
| 108 | * Install the Python eggs and Ruby gems and PEAR/PECL doohickeys that are on |
---|
| 109 | the other scripts.mit.edu servers and do not have RPMs. |
---|
[818] | 110 | - Look at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages for Python eggs and modules. |
---|
| 111 | - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems. |
---|
| 112 | - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called). |
---|
[785] | 113 | |
---|
[812] | 114 | * echo 'import site, os.path; site.addsitedir(os.path.expanduser("~/lib/python2.5/site-packages"))' > /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/00scripts-home.pth |
---|
| 115 | |
---|
[387] | 116 | * Install the credentials (machine keytab, daemon.scripts keytab, SSL |
---|
| 117 | certs). |
---|
| 118 | |
---|
[862] | 119 | * If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to |
---|
[562] | 120 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address. |
---|
[812] | 121 | You will also need to modify /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, and |
---|
[562] | 122 | /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf to use scripts.mit.edu instead of |
---|
| 123 | localhost. |
---|
| 124 | |
---|
[861] | 125 | * Install fedora-ds-base and set up replication (see ./HOWTO-SETUP-LDAP |
---|
| 126 | and ./fedora-ds-enable-ssl-and-kerberos.diff). |
---|
[785] | 127 | |
---|
[818] | 128 | * Install nslcd / nss-ldapd, which, unlike nss-ldap, doesn't crash every few |
---|
| 129 | hours. Add /sbin/service dirsrv start and /sbin/nslcd to /etc/rc.local, or |
---|
| 130 | better yet package nss-ldapd properly. |
---|
| 131 | |
---|
[875] | 132 | * Make the services dirsrv, postfix, and httpd start at boot. Run |
---|
| 133 | chkconfig to make sure the set of services to be run is correct. |
---|
[818] | 134 | |
---|
[803] | 135 | * Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work. |
---|
| 136 | |
---|
[875] | 137 | * Reboot the machine to restore a consistent state, in case you |
---|
| 138 | changed anything. |
---|
| 139 | |
---|
[562] | 140 | * (Optional) Beat your head against a wall. |
---|
| 141 | |
---|
[387] | 142 | * Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this |
---|
| 143 | document. |
