| 1 | Fedora Core 6 Installation Instructions |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | Fedora Core uses an RPM based packaging system that contains both stable and |
|---|
| 4 | cutting-edge software. It differs from other distributions in that the RPMs |
|---|
| 5 | (packages) that are bundled with Fedora Core are very modern (usually no older |
|---|
| 6 | than a year), as well as very stable and thoroughly tested. |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | These instructions are for installing the Zenoss RPM. This version works with |
|---|
| 9 | FC6, but it should work with FC5 and previous Fedora Core installations with |
|---|
| 10 | minor modifications (mostly to dependent RPM versions). Follow these steps on |
|---|
| 11 | the machine where you want to run Zenoss. Note: All commands should be run as |
|---|
| 12 | root. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | 1. The Yellow Dog Updater, Modified (YUM) is used to install several packages |
|---|
| 15 | Zenoss depends on in order to properly function. To run yum, issue the |
|---|
| 16 | following command: |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | # yum -y install mysql mysql-server net-snmp net-snmp-utils gmp |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | 2. Download the latest Zenoss RPM for EL 5 (there is no independent FC6 RPM) |
|---|
| 22 | from the SourceForge downloads page, and install it using the following command: |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | # rpm -ivh zenoss-2.0.0-0.el5.i386.rpm |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | 3. In order to allow the SNMP Daemon to read CPU information SE Linux must be |
|---|
| 28 | disabled. This can be achieved using the following command (Note: if you have a |
|---|
| 29 | better alternative please share it with us by emailing support@zenoss.com) |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | # setenforce 0 |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | 4. Start the snmp daemon using the command: |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | # /etc/init.d/snmpd start |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | 5. Start MySQL using the command: |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | # /etc/init.d/mysqld start |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | 6. Start Zenoss using the command: |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | # /etc/init.d/zenoss start |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | 7. Several ports need to be open for Zenoss to operate. One option for doing |
|---|
| 50 | this is to disable the firewall: |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | # service iptables stop # chkconfig iptables off |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | Alternatively you can open the following ports in your firewall: 8080 - HTTP |
|---|
| 55 | access to the zenoss console 514 - syslog 162 - SNMP traps |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | |
