Can anyone point me to some easy to understand and straight > to the point documentation? hmmm... ok, let's try this way: I also use debian sarge (btw: sarge is not 3.0) and what I have done so far is: 1. install bare sarge (if you wish to receive my 'dpkg -l' to compare it to yours @mail me) 2. wget sources of openssl-0.9.7c mm-1.3.0 mod_ssl-2.8.16-1.3.29 and apache_1.3.29 (I prefere building them from sources) 3. ungzip'ed and untar'ed them into /usr/local/src/ and then: cd /usr/local/src cd openssl-0.9.7c && ./config && make && make test && make install cd ../mm-1.3.0 && ./configure --disable-shared && make cd ../mod_ssl-2.8.16-1.3.29 && ./configure && --with-apache=../apache_1.3.29 && --with-ssl=../openssl-0.9.7c && --with-mm=../mm-1.3.0 && --prefix=/usr/local/apache cd ../apache_1.3.29 && make && make certificate && make install 4. wget openca src (it was rc2 but you might want to get rc3 which is 'out-there'), ungziped it, untared it into /usr/local/src 5. install some additional pakckages that openca requires to build correctly: apt-get install libldap2-dev libxml-parser-perl libgdbm-dev libdb4.2-dev 6. 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' to make sure my language will be suported (I marked pl_PL ISO-8859-2 and de_DE ISO-8859-1) 7. cd /usr/local/src/openca-sources ./configure \ --with-engine=no \ --with-httpd-user=nobody \ --with-httpd-group=nogroup \ --with-openca-user=openca \ --with-openca-group=openca \ --with-httpd-fs-prefix=/usr/local/apache \ --with-cgi-url-prefix=/cgi-bin \ --with-web-host=jargot.nask.waw.pl \ --with-ca-organization="NASK" \ --with-ca-country=PL \ --with-ca-locality=Warszawa \ --with-openssl-prefix=/usr/local/ssl \ --enable-db \ --disable-dbi \ --enable-rbac \ --disable-ocspd \ --disable-openscep \ --with-db-name=openca \ --with-db-user=openca \ --with-db-passwd="*******" \ --with-ldap-port=389 \ --with-ldap-root="cn=Manager,o=NASK,c=PL" \ --with-ldap-root-pwd="*******" \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-service-mail-account="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" \ --with-language=pl_PL \ --with-hierarchy-level=ca ofcourse this is test instalation, so hostnames and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are temporary and then make, make install-online (for ra, ldap, pub, scep and node) or install-offline (ca and node) (note to set '--with-hierarchy-level=' properly in this cases). and then vi config.xml and so on (I think you know what next, more or less). as you might have noticed I don't use mysql neither postgresql - set corresponding options to meet your situation. after that I have openca up and running. still get some (minor) errors. I didn't try using openca .deb packages so far. I assume you did neither. don't give up. we all have problems installing openca but sooner or later they all pass away ;) p.s. I'm not developer neither advanced user, so my knowledge might be note enough to help you. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- F.Lewenda [ one 'logout' too far... ] -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
