Dan, I'd like to start by lavishing extreme amounts of praise for your extremely clear and thorough set of instructions. As someone fairly new to Linux and command line, those instructions have been an incredible help, even if it was intended for an earlier version.
As for option 1, I actually started out with release 1.0.6.3, ran into some connection problems, and started over with the newer version in the hopes that I wouldn't encounter those problems with the newer version. So much for that thought. At this point, I'd like to stick it out and try to get the 1.2.0 rc 1 version going, but I'm open to whatever will get me a functioning installation. I actually did install OpenSRF prior to installing Evergreen. Here's what I did and didn't do. Between steps 19 (preparing the database) and 20 (build and install evergreen), I did the following. Cd into opensrf source Sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh CFLAGS=-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE make Edited /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to include: # This is here for apxs compatibility (and this comment is required!) #LoadModule mod_placeholder /usr/lib/apache2/mod_placeholder.so Sudo make install I did not do the following before make because I (incorrectly?) assumed they were specific to Gentoo. Open install.conf in a text editor and set the default Gentoo settings for make configuration: export APXS2=/usr/sbin/apxs2 export APACHE2_HEADERS=/usr/include/apache2 export APR_HEADERS=/usr/include/apr-0/ export LIBXML2_HEADERS=/usr/include/libxml2/ Could this be the cause of my problems? Or... I just spotted another potential place I may have gone astray... In step 23, setting up Evergreen, I skipped the parts labeled in 1.0x only and went with the 1.1x parts, as well as skipping anything refering to bootstrap.conf, which doesn't exist in this version. But I think that may have been the problem... The four bullet points under "Edit bootstrap.conf" I skipped because there is no bootstrap.conf, when in reality, I probably should have made those changes in some other configuration file. Um... Either opensrf_core.xml or opensrf.xml? Which of these possible problems sounds most likely and worth attempting to fix? Anybody? Thanks, Karen PS. Dan, I'd be happy to help with updating this area of the wiki, but if you've got it under control, that's cool too. I'd be happy to run through my notes and tell you anything relevant on or off list. But you have a good point about waiting until it's a regular release. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Wells [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 2:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; open-ils-dev@list.georgialibraries.org Subject: RE: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Newbie install question Hello Dave and Karen, The instructions for installing Evergreen on Ubuntu were written/edited by me specifically for the stable 1.0.x branch. They should work with minimal changes for some of the 1.1.x development builds, but will be missing critical steps for 1.2.x, as OpenSRF has been pulled out as a separate build. The project is in an awkward state at this moment, as there is no official build that is both current and stable (coming soon!). I have been resisting changes to the Wiki until 1.2.x passes the release candidate stage, but may create a new page to accommodate it if the RC process drags on too long due to something unforeseen. So, you have a few options at this point: 1) Install 1.0.x. The install should smoothly follow the Wiki guide, and you will at least get a live install to see what Evergreen is like. 2) Stick with 1.2.x, making sure to install OpenSRF. You should be able to install most things based on the Ubuntu guide, but check out the Gentoo guide for the last bits, specifically the sections beginning with "Installing OpenSRF" http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_prerequisites_on_gen too People here are always willing to work through specific sticking points, and I will be sure to glean any troubleshooting info from your posts to add to the future 1.2.x wiki page :) 3) If you just want to see Evergreen in action, grab VMWare Player and one of the VMWare images. The Ubuntu image is functional, but a few months old at this point. The Gentoo image looks more up to date if your heart isn't set on Ubuntu. Good luck, DW
