ok, I'll remember it.

I just did another piler install (which went way better and faster
than the first attempt knowing the few gotchas now) and came across 2
more points:

The postinstall script creates the first cronjob as follows:

crontab -l -upiler
### PILERSTART
*/5 * * * * LC_ALL=C mpstat | tail -1 | awk '{print 1}' >
/archive/piler/stat/cpu.stat


please check if you have the following in util/postinstall.sh:

echo "*/5 * * * * LC_ALL=C mpstat | tail -1 | awk '{print \$11}' > $LOCALSTATEDIR/piler/stat/cpu.stat" >> $CRON_TMP

notice the backslash before $11

which will always result in 1 for cpu.stat

The second point has to do with having changed the piler data dir to
/archive. Worked all fine except that the sphinx.conf is not being
updated with this when running the postinstall script and still points
to /var/piler

yeah, the idea was to get a large partition under /var/piler to hold all piler related data (probably except the mysql database), since I believe
that it's easier to manage one partition than 2.


Finally, I was wrong when I said that mysqlsocket= works, it doesn't.
I still had the host set to 127.0.0.1. I had to actually set the
mysqlsocket= from /etc/my.cnf and with that ith works fine for
localhost.

ok, I set it to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock by default
