You can use rpm -e to remove Zenoss. If you have a non standalone server
environment, you'll probably want to use the source install. If you can
get the rpm the privs to do everything it want's to do, that's easier
however. It will need to create the user zenoss, create a socket??? my
memory fails here, and it needs root access to MySQL with NO ROOT
PASSWORD. You can reset to some strong password after install, but for
each upgrade you have to have no password on MySQL.
This is what we do, but you can specify a MySQL password with the source
install if you want.
When you made the directory - did you actually create the user zenoss?
It will want to add some variable exports for python etc for Zenoss.

I just attempted to install zenoss on a Red Hat EL 5 86_64 box. I grabbed the rpm from source forge labeled: zenoss-2.1.2-0.el5.x86_64.rpm. First did a yum install of net-snmp. It appears to have installed succesfully. Then
sudo rpm -ivh zenoss-2.1.2-0.el5.x86_64.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
useradd: cannot create directory /home/zenoss
error: %pre(zenoss-2.1.2-0.el5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping zenoss-2.1.2-0.el5
So I made /home/zenoss and tried again
-bash-3.1$ sudo mkdir /home/zenoss
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
useradd: user zenoss exists
1:zenoss ########################################### [100%]
grep: /home/zenoss/.bashrc: No such file or directory
There are some things installed, but it looks very incomplete.
Anyone have any recommendations on --
a) is there a way to force the install?
b) is there a way to fix the current install?
c) is the way to back out of the install is rpm -e ?
d) if I back out the rpm install, is there a better rpm to use, or should I try
a source install?
