4: The standard process is to install LON-CAPA with an installation
5: CD on a fresh system. We provide this document as a secondary
6: service to those who wish to install and experiment on an existing
7: Linux system.
8:
9: These are the current steps for installing LON-CAPA on an existing
10: RedHat 6.2 system. Where possible, I have tried to indicate steps
11: for RedHat 7.1. Please note that step 1 is optional. You can
12: run LON-CAPA on a shadow-based system. However, you need to follow
13: steps at http://install.lon-capa.org/docs/loncapapasswordauthentication.html.
14:
15: SUMMARY
16:
17: This is what has to happen in the installation.
18: * Install LON-CAPA files
19: * Configure system
20: * Make sure you have the right software packages (RPMS)
21:
22: Note that
23: http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS
24: are generally meant for RedHat 6.2 systems.
25:
26: For RedHat 7.1/7.2, you will have to manually
27: inspect CVS:doc/otherfiles/rpm_list.txt
28:
29: 1. (NOW OPTIONAL). disable shadow and md5sum passwords
30: remove 'md5 shadow' from 'password required' lines in
31: /etc/pam.d/login
32: /etc/pam.d/passwd
33:
34: then run /usr/sbin/pwunconv and
35: /usr/sbin/grpunconv
36:
37: and then, manually enter in all your passwords again
38: first for root
39: passwd
40: and then the usernames...
41: passwd username1
42: passwd username2
43:
44: 2. make sure you have a web server (apache)
45:
46: 3. make sure you have mod_perl
47: RedHat 6.2:
48: http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/mod_perl-1.23-3.i386.rpm
49:
50: 4. Checkout CVS repository
51: cvs co loncapa (see install.lon-capa.org
52: http://install.lon-capa.org/docs/cvsupgrade/
53: for more cvs instructions)
54:
55: 5. Install the LON-CAPA-base RPM
56: http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/LON-CAPA-base-3.1-1.i386.rpm
57: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps LON-CAPA-base-3.1-1.i386.rpm
58:
59: If you are using RedHat 7.1, the only file you really need from this
60: RPM is tth.so.
61:
62: http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/binaries/tth.so
63:
64: 6. Add a user www.
65: /usr/sbin/adduser www
66:
67: 7. Make sure you have all the needed RPMs
68:
69: The following instructions only work for RedHat 6.2.
70: If you are using RedHat 7.1/7.2, you will need to
71: manually inspect CVS:doc/otherfiles/rpm_list.txt.
72:
73: As root, cd loncapa/loncom/build; make rpmstatuspost
74: look at the status of your RPMS
75: http://MACHINENAME/lon-status/rpmstatus.html
76:
77: install/upgrade the ones you don't have
78: probably start with the out-of-date RPMs
79: and then run make rpmstatuspost again
80:
81: install RPMs from the minimal set
82: (you might want to be a little selective here.. like, you
83: don't "need" autofs)
84:
85: install RPMs from the development set
86: (you might want to be a LOT selective here)
87:
88: 8. update LON-CAPA-base files with CVS
89: cvs update -d
90: cd loncom/build
91: make build; make install
92: NOTE!!!
93: REDHAT 7.1 or 7.2 (make DIST='redhat7.1' build; make DIST='redhat7.1' install)
94:
95: 9. run /usr/sbin/loncapaconfig and change the settings on your
96: machine
97:
98: OR
99:
100: manually edit
101: /etc/krb.conf
102: /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf
103: /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab
104:
105: 10. restart all the services
106: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
107: /etc/rc.d/init.d/loncontrol restart
108:
109: 11. The next step will be to experiment with your system.
110: If you are setting up a machine for test purposes, I recommend
111: you set up a domain coordinator. See CVS:doc/how_to_domain_coordinator.txt
