Hi Damion,
Thanks for your answer. I'll give you a description of my actions on both
installations:
1) Install and setup the OS.
2) #rpm -ivh reevsd-1.4.9-1rhX.i386.rpm (X is the corresponding OS version
of freevsd)
3) #mkdir -p /home/vsd/skel
4) #tar xIf freevsd-skel-1.4.9-1rh6.tar.bz2 -C /home/vsd/skel (On RH7.1, tar
complains about deprecated options, but it does the job.)
5) #vsd-install.pl (default answer to all the questions)
6) setup the "local" domain on my nameserver and all the direct and reverse
information for my vs's... from vs1 to vs9.
7) #vsdadm vs_create myhostingbox vs1 192.168.0.201 vs1.local 100 100
8) #vsd-vsbatch.pl
9) #vsboot --start (this command runs without any error, only the usual stuff ...
compiling majordomo, starting httpd, mysql, etc.)
10) Then I try to check the services and everything works, except the web server.
(I checked on port 80, then 8080, and then a ps -axe and it's not there)
10) #bevs vs1
11) [admin@vs2 /]$ su - web (I su to the user web)
12) [web@vs2 web]$ /usr/sbin/httpd then I get the following : Illegal instruction
After this, I check again and the web server is not running.
The logs in /home/web/log are empty.
Note: issuing the command
[admin@vs2 /]$ su - web -c /usr/sbin/httpd
as the "admin" user won't display the error, but the server won't run either.
I believe that it might be a problem with my cpu, since the same error happens with
both OS's and I follow all the installation instructions.
If you are interested, I provide at the end of this email the output of the
/proc/cpuinfo on my box.
Anyway, as I mentioned before, I'm willing to build my own skel, but I'd like to
know which software is provided by the predefined skel (a list of the sofware by
package/application like "rpm -qa|sort" would be very nice), in order to provide
the most similar environment possible to a predefined skel installation.
I've already started this effort, my box is running now RH 7.1 (latest software
versions and rpm upgrades).
I've catched several bugs on the skel generation process: problems with the mysql
installation, sendmail, ld.so.config, etc. and I'm compiling a list
issues/solutions that might be useful for other people out there (sorry, it's on
spanish right now but I plan to translate it later. :-)
By the way: I've noticed that neither ping or traceroute are included on the skels,
predefined or generated. Is there any reason for this or it might be a bug?
Which other popular tools are not included?
Thanks again for your help, I've been involved with freevsd nearly a week, and
every time I get more interested on it.
Regards,
Carlos Paz.
