[ixpmanager] Server rebuild

Sat Oct 12 01:28:33 IST 2013

Rowan,

Plugging away at your autoinstall script.  Most of it is tweaking the
conf.sh file.

I have found that it would be useful to include at least in the
documentation of all the package dependencies the script requires.

I started with ubuntu-12.10-server-i386.iso and added openssh, lamp, and
mail packages.

   1  vi /etc/locale.gen
    2  locale-gen
    3  vim /etc/locale.alias
    4  aptitude update
    5  cd /usr/local/
    6  apt-get install git
    7  vim /etc/hosts
    8  git https://github.com/rowanthorpe/ixp-autoinstall.git autoinstall
    9  git
   10  apt-get install memcached
   11  apt-get install subversion
   12  apt-get install php5-memcache
   13  apt-get install php5-snmp
   14  apt-get install php-apc
   15  git clone https://github.com/rowanthorpe/ixp-autoinstall.gitautoinstall
   16  cd autoinstall/
   17  ls
   18  vim ixp-autoinstall_conf.sh.dist
   19  ls
   20  ./ixp-autoinstall.sh
   21  cp ixp-autoinstall_conf.sh.dist ixp-autoinstall_conf.sh
   22  ./ixp-autoinstall.sh

Found pear was missing

 26  pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com
   27  apt-get install php-pear
   28  pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com
   29  pear channel-discover pear.doctrine-project.org
   30  pear install doctrine/DoctrineORM
   31  ls
   32  cd ..
   33  ls
   34  cd ..
   35  ls
   36  updatedb
   37  locate ixp
   38  cd /usr/share/php/Doctrine
   39  ln -s ../Symfony
   40  ./ixp-autoinstall.sh
   41  cd /usr/local/autoinstall/
   42  ./ixp-autoinstall.sh
   43  rm -rf /opt/ixpmanager

Found 43 very useful
Then found I needed to flip a switch in the install.sh for mysql passwords.

Then found 55 very useful

 55  mysqladmin -u root -p drop ixp

Discovered MRTG not installed.

 68  apt-get install libconfig-general-perl libnetaddr-ip-perl mrtg
   69  mkdir -p /srv/mrtg
   70  mkdir -p /srv/mrtg/members

Currently I am still on MRTG with this error.

ixp-autoinstall.sh: setting up mrtg
sed: can't read /etc/mrtg-rrd.conf: No such file or directory

I haven't been able to determine where in the recipe this file gets built.

How is my recipe differing from yours?

Thanks,
Brian
