Hah. beat me to it. I was just reading about conary too. :)
Might want to save yourself some headaches and pick a Liux distro you know better or is more well known like Fedora Core and install Zenoss that way. I hate having to learn yet another linux distro though rPath seems an awful lot like redhat/fedora from the bit of poking I have done so far. mike On 12/1/06, Tony Graziano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I got nowhere so far after posting on the rPath zenoss list. It seems to have ZERO activity thus far. After reading more thoroughly on the rPath system, they use a system they wrote called conary, their own update system to patch or add modules to the system. You can update/configure this system by going to https://<your ip address of the zenoss appliance>:8003 I think the username/passowrd is admin/password, if not it shopuld be int he docs. Of course, I can't confirm since I changed the default password when installing this system. :) You should do any updates there before updating or installing perl-DBI. There is a precompiled version that installs, so make is not needed. Sort of smart this way since make is not installed, anyone getting access cannot compile something on your system and install, say, a rootkit. Go to the VMWARE/ZENOSS console. Login as root (the default password is null). Type conary update perl-DBI Once it reboots (it won't reboot unless you tell it to, from the console, type "shutdown -r now"), the perl-DBI message goes away, it does say that it cannot find a modem, a modem is not installed, but it seems to get things much further along than when DBI was not there, and since I do not have a modem installed presently, it would actually be a correct message. I'll post this on the rPath list so "maybe" they will add that package to automtaically update when the system checks for things instead of it being a manual affair. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/01/06 04:09AM >>> I tried the cpan method, but one cannot install the DBI module because make is missing. Thomas -----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Mike Fratto Envoyé : jeudi 30 novembre 2006 18:51 À : General discussion of using zenoss system Objet : Re: [zenoss-users] Re: Appliance startup error (1.0.1) The easiest way to install perl modules is with cpan. I am not a perl dude, but here is what I know. On your server, just run cpan. If this is the first time you have run it, you will go through a set-up process. At some point, you will get to a question that asks you to select a few CPAN mirrors. My suggestion is to scroll through a few pages and select later entries and mostly from .edu. I have had better luck that way. There is no simple way to change the mirrors once you run through the script (but you can google for changing the mirrors, it a text file change). The the very next thing is to update cpan itself. One you do all that, you can try something like "cpan install Bundle::DBI" and it should go find the bundle and install it along with all the dependencies. You can also just do a "cpan update all" and it will update all your packages. You might want to reinstall or update perl, however, because I believe DBI is part of the base package. The other option is to down load the modules from cpan and compile them, but I then you have to resolve all dependencies yourself.
