incorporated.
Thanks,

Hey guys,
This is my guide for installing Zenoss on SuSE. I found that the
one in the actual "How To" section didn't work for us so I set out
to make my own.
Special thanks to both Bothunbr and Malvin for their previous work
on the subject.
HowTo Install Zenoss on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10.1
Preparation
1. Turn of software firewall
2. Make sure you are logged in as root
Code:
su
3. Install dependencies via yast
Code:
yast -i openssl openssl-devel net-snmp perl-Digest-HMAC perl-DBI
perl-Net-SNMP perl-Crypt-DES pyxml mysql-client mysql mysql-devel
yast -i gmp gmp-devel autoconf
4. Install swig
Code:
cd
wget
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Subversion/Apache_SuSE_Linux_10.1/i586/swig-1.3.33-3.1.i586.rpm
rpm –i *.rpm
NOTE: Make sure Yast sources include Suse CD’s or DVD; certain
dependencies do not exist on online repositories!
5. Start MySQL
Code:
/etc/init.d/mysql start
6. Assign a password for the MySQL root user
Code:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'newmysqlpassword'
7. Create a group and user for zenoss
Code:
groupadd zenoss
useradd –m –G zenoss
passwd zenoss
8. Set the zenoss environmental variables
Code:
vi /home/zenoss/.bashrc
Paste the following at the end of the file
Code:
export ZENHOME="/opt/zenoss"
export PATH="${ZENHOME}/bin:${PATH}"
export PYTHONPATH="/opt/zenoss/lib/python"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/zenoss/lib"
9. Create the Zenoss install directory
Code:
mkdir -p /opt/zenoss
Installing Software
10. Download Python 2.4

With:
# look for python
for p in /opt/zenoss/python/bin/python
13. Change ownerships
