Not yet at least, I just spent the day setting up laptop to be used as a
workstation, midgard is needed for local mirrors of certain midgard
applications/databases etc. Most of the time went to going trough the
packages in RH7.1 and removing the unneccessary crud...
Points I ran into:
[apache, php, mysql all installed from rpms with devel etc. packages]
(apart from the mkall problem when compiling midgard-php)
- in httpd.conf I had to comment out part where some variable is checked
and if present then PHP is enabled, I made it to always enable PHP.
- mod_midgard installation guessed incorrectly the modules directory
when update httpd.conf (it tried to load mod_midgard from
(/etc/httpd/)lib/apache/modules when the correct location would be
(/etc/httpd/)modules/
- mysql server RPM installation does not automatically create the
database for access rights etc (which is rewuired to run mysql ;),
running the command to create those databases creates them with root as
owner, one needs to chown the /var/lib/mysql to mysql user (default:
mysql, check /etc/my.cnf) or mysql won't work (can't find file...)
- dbinstall (midgard-data) script failed to recognize root user (su:ed),
fix by commenting out the part where it checks the username.
- apache-devel rpm installs apxs to /usr/sbin/ where it might not be
found by configure scripts, best to define location manually (except for
mkall, where you have to have apxs in PATH)
Then there might have been some minor points I don't remember right now
