+LON-CAPA Installation
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+You will need to check all the following things to ensure proper
+installation of your LON-CAPA system.
+
+
+
+
+
+Make a LON-CAPA system work with shadow passwords
+
+
+| Step # | Description |
|---|
+|
+1
+ |
+ Is your system using shadow passwords? (Note: LON-CAPA will
+work with either MD5/non-MD5 configured systems). If your
+system is not using shadow passwords, then do not perform
+any of the additional steps. If your system is using shadow
+passwords, then you will need to perform the additional steps below.
+
+
+How to detect:
+
command: cat /etc/passwd | grep ':x:'
+
+If there is output such as "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash",
+then your system is using shadow passwords and you will need to continue with
+the steps below.
+
+ |
+|
+2
+ |
+ Retrieve the mod_auth_external source by
+running the following command
+
+
+wget http://www.wwnet.net/~janc/software/mod_auth_external-2.1.13.tar.gz

-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 hobbes.lite.msu.edu/~loninst as your download URL, and /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, restart the computer. Login as root. Enter these two commands:
-
-- lynx -source http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/scripts/postinstall.pl>postinstall.pl
-
- perl postinstall.pl
-
- - As postinstall.pl runs, you will be asked various questions. Follow the instructions to correctly
-enter in the appropriate parameter values.

-
-- 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.
-
-
- 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).
-
- Unshadow passwords
-
You can do this by these 5 steps:
-1. enter the system command, as "root", pwunconv
-2. enter the system command, as "root", grpunconv
-3. Set the following to be the /etc/pam.d/login file on your system
-#%PAM-1.0
-auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
-auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
-auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
-account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
-password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
-password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so nullok use_authtok
-session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
-session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so
-4. Set the following to be the /etc/pam.d/passwd file on your system
-#%PAM-1.0
-auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
-account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
-password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3
-password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok nullok
-5. Set/reset passwords. As "root" use 'passwd', and 'passwd www'
-to change the important passwords. This creates crypt-processible
-passwords in /etc/passwd.
-
-
- - Run, as root, ln -s /etc/mime.types /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types
-
- Run, as root, /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start.
-
- 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.

+This is the current list of steps to support LON-CAPA installation. These
+steps have been tested.
+
+- Get LON-CAPA on a CD by
+
+- Requesting a LON-CAPA installation CD (c/o Helen Keefe,
+helen@lon-capa.org).
+- Or, downloading a LON-CAPA installation
+CD image and
+burning a CD.
+- (Depending on whether your computer has a bootable CD-ROM, you may
+need to also make a boot floppy. Download this floppy disk image file:
+
+boot-20000407.img. (Download the image file; insert a blank floppy disk;
+and type this command: dd if=boot-20000407.img of=/dev/fd0).
+
+- Install with CD-ROM
+
+- After installation, restart the computer. Login as root. Enter this
+command (you only need to do this after your first reboot):
+
+- sh /usr/sbin/loncapa_configure
+
+
+
+
+You can also try to install LON-CAPA on an existing installation of
+RedHat 6.2. Please see
+how_to_install_loncapa_on_a_preinstalled_system.txt.
