-
-This is the current list of steps to support LON-CAPA installation. These steps have
-been tested.
-
-- Get Redhat 6.2 on a CD by
-
-- Using a RedHat 6.2 CD
-
- Downloading a RedHat 6.2 CD image and burning a CD
-
- Or, alternatively do a network install from a
-RedHat 6.2 CD source tree. You need to burn a boot floppy disk with a network boot image;
-
-bootnet-20000407.img. (Download the image file; insert a blank floppy disk; and type a
-command similar to: dd if=bootnet-20000407.img of=/dev/fd0). For installation, you
-need to specify http://www.lon-capa.org as your download URL, and /install/3.1/currentcdsource
-as the source location.
-
- - Install RedHat 6.2
-
-- Important: Do a "GNOME Workstation Install" and go with their default list of packages
-
- Important: Make sure you add a user "www"
-
- - After installation, install extra RPMs/upgrades by downloading all files from
-
-http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/SupplementalRPMS.
-
-- Use this command to install the RPMs you download: rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm.
-
- - Remove extra RPMs by downloading and running the script
-
-http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/scripts/remove_extra.sh as root.
-
- After installing the supplemental RPMS, install a final RPM set by downloading all files from
-
-http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/FinalRPMS.
-
-- Use this command to install the RPMs you download: rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm.
-
- - Configure needed files.
-
-- Currently, reconfiguration must be handled manually and involves an administrator
-altering configuration files present throughout the system. For a list of these
-files and their descriptions, visit
-http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/loncapafiles/loncapafiles.html.
-
- Important files are /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf, /etc/ntp.conf, /etc/krb.conf,
-/home/httpd/lonTabs/spare.tab, /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab (if setting up a cluster different
-than MSU's).
-
- Run, as root, /etc/rc.d/init.d/loncontrol start.
-
- After 10 minutes, you should be able to check the file /home/httpd/html/lon-status/index.html
-to see if your machine has been successfully set up.
-
-
-
-Future Installation Procedure (not yet implemented)
-
-In the future, LON-CAPA Installation will be distributed on a CD complete with a
-customized interface. Many elements for doing this have been coded, and are in place, but
-it awaits completion.
