The rpm lays down files on the filesystem, but a lot of the actual installation and configuration steps are done by the /etc/init.d/zenoss script when it detects that it is running for the first time. One of these steps is setting up Zope, which creates the zopectl and zeoctl scripts in $ZENHOME/bin. If something goes wrong during these setup steps it can leave you with a partially installed Zenoss. Sounds like this is what's happening to some of you. I can think of a couple things that might cause this.
* Running /etc/init.d/zenoss as the zenoss user rather than the root user right after the rpm install. Really the zenoss script should detect this situation and give an error. I've created a ticket to implement this check: http://dev.zenoss.org/trac/ticket/3127 * Having a non-blank mysql root password. The rpm install instructions assume that you have just installed mysql and therefore have a blank password. /etc/init.d/zenoss fails badly if this is not the case. If you need to you can work around this by greping $ZENHOME/bin for MYSQLROOTPASSWD and setting it correctly in the 4 or so files it appears in. Obviously this should be better documented: http://dev.zenoss.org/trac/ticket/3128 If neither of these situations applies or fixes your problems then the output from your first run of /etc/init.d/zenoss might help us track down the cause. -jason -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19594#19594 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
