Hi,

I have installed omd-1.00 from the repo onto Scientific Linux x86_64.  No 
problems getting dependencies met.

"yum search omd-" returns both omd-1.00 and omd-0.52.  "yum install omd" 
attempts to install version 0.52.  I can't say that is 'wrong' or 'broken' but 
it is unusual to offer two versions of the same product like that, and that 
"yum install" would default to the older one.  If I do "yum install omd-1.00" 
it installs that one.

OK, so that install seemed to work.  But then...

The key issue it seems is that everything is getting installed in /opt/omd 
(like the web site reads), but all configuration files for omd are set for 
/omd/.

For instance, the /etc/fstab mount point entry for instance is /omd/sites/<site 
name>/tmp.  (no preceding /opt/)  Here's the actual line: "tmpfs  
/omd/sites/TestSite/tmp tmpfs noauto,user,mode=755,uid=TestSite,gid=TestSite 0 
0"
For instance pt. 2, the rpm installs the symlink /usr/bin/omd, but this links 
to /omd/versions/default/bin/omd (again, no preceding /opt)

Also, "omd create TestSite" successfully adds an entry to /etc/fstab, but it 
doesn't mount it.  If I mount it by hand it mounts fine.  Again though, it 
mounts on /omd, and the omd installer doesn't create a symlink.

So I thought, maybe it just needs a symlink.  I created one with "ln -s 
/opt/omd /omd".

Then onto "omd start TestSite":

# omd start TestSite

close failed in file object destructor:
Error in sys.excepthook:

Original exception was:
ERROR

As you can see from the error above, the "pnp4nagios" subdirectory doesn't get 
created.  I tried creating it and its 'run' subdirectory by hand, and creating 
the 'nagios' subdirectory under tmp by hand too and starting again.  The 
nagios.cfg file it created there then produced a bunch of errors because all of 
its config was for /omd instead of /opt/omd.

You get the idea.  The installed config just doesn't match the install location 
is what seems to be the problem.  Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ted
