| 1 | Fedora Core 6 Installation Instructions |

| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | Fedora Core uses an RPM based packaging system that contains both |
|---|
| 4 | stable and cutting-edge software. It differs from other distributions |
|---|
| 5 | in that the RPMs (packages) that are bundled with Fedora Core are very |
|---|
| 6 | modern (usually no older than a year), as well as very stable and |
|---|
| 7 | thoroughly tested. |

| 10 | Installation Technique: Manual Install |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | These instructions are for installing the Zenoss RPM. This version works |
|---|
| 13 | with FC6, but it should work with FC5 and previous Fedora Core |
|---|
| 14 | installations with minor modifications (mostly to dependent RPM |
|---|
| 15 | versions). Follow these steps on the machine where you want to run |
|---|
| 16 | Zenoss. Note: All commands should be run as root. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | 1. The Yellow Dog Updater, Modified (YUM) is used to install several |
|---|
| 19 | packages Zenoss depends on in order to properly function. To |
|---|
| 20 | run yum, issue the following command: |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | # yum -y install mysql mysql-server net-snmp net-snmp-utils |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | 2. Download the latest Zenoss RPM for EL 5 (there is no independent FC6 |
|---|
| 26 | RPM) from the SourceForge downloads page, and install it using the |
|---|
| 27 | following command: |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | # rpm -ivh zenoss-2.0.0-0.el5.i386.rpm |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | 3. In order to allow the SNMP Daemon to read CPU information SE Linux |
|---|
| 33 | must be disabled. This can be achieved using the following |
|---|
| 34 | command (Note: if you have a better alternative please share it |
|---|
| 35 | with us by emailing support@zenoss.com) |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | # setenforce 0 |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | 4. Start the snmp daemon using the command: |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | # /etc/init.d/snmpd start |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | 5. Start MySQL using the command: |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | # /etc/init.d/mysqld start |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | 6. Start Zenoss using the command: |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | # /etc/init.d/zenoss start |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | 7. Several ports need to be open for Zenoss to operate. One option for doing |
|---|
| 56 | this is to disable the firewall: |
|---|
| 57 | |
|---|
| 58 | # service iptables stop |
|---|
| 59 | # chkconfig iptables off |
|---|
| 60 | |
|---|
| 61 | Alternatively you can open the following ports in your firewall: |
|---|
| 62 | 8080 - HTTP access to the zenoss console |
|---|
| 63 | 514 - syslog |
|---|
| 64 | 162 - SNMP traps |
|---|
| 65 | |
