Installing Freeside 1.7.x on CentOS 4.4
This is a (hopefully) step-by-step guide for doing a basic installation of Freeside on CentOS 4.4 (4.5?) using RPMs whenever possible. It would probably be easier to use CPAN directly in some cases, but that wouldn't be very fun now would it? These instructions also include information for installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.4/4.5 using up2date instead of yum.
Software Installation
Run the correct command below depending on your architecture. The BASEARCH environment variable must be set before running many of the commands contained in this document. If you close your terminal and resume the process at a later time, you must re-run the export command. If you find that rpm or wget is unable to download a particular file, run echo $BASEARCH and make sure it outputs either i386 or x86_64.
Please stop updating this wiki replacing the occurances of $BASEARCH with i386 or x86_64.
# export BASEARCH=i386
...or...
# export BASEARCH=x86_64
Binary Packages

# yum install httpd postgresql-server tetex ghostscript.$BASEARCH
Upgrade to perl 5.8.8 to get CGI >= 3.08.
# yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade perl
Next install the gcc complier
# yum install gcc
Perl Packages
Setup 3rd party repos for most of the extra perl modules.

- Log::Dispatch
Use the SRPM from Fedora Core 5. They have the correct and properly patched version that supports mod_perl 2.
But first, a couple of prereqs.
# yum -y install perl-File-Find-Rule perl-IO-String # yum -y install perl-MIME-Lite perl-Mail-Sender perl-Mail-Sendmail
Now build and install Log::Dispatch itself. (There seems to be another rpm too, but it need Apache::Log)
# wget -O /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/perl-Log-Dispatch-2.15-2.fc5.src.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/SRPMS/perl-Log-Dispatch-2.15-2.fc5.src.rpm # rpmbuild --rebuild /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/perl-Log-Dispatch-2.15-2.fc5.src.rpm # rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-Log-Dispatch-2.15-2.noarch.rpm
- DBIx::SearchBuilder
DBIx::searchBuilder is a little painful to install because it requires DBD::Oracle. You can just run "yum install perl-DBIx-SearchBuilder" if you want to go through the trouble of building and installing DBD::Oracle first. Again, that can be rather painful and isn't within the scope of this guide.
The alternative below is to force install the RPM for DBIx::SearchBuilder since we're not going to use Oracle anyway. You have to exclude it from future updates in yum otherwise you'll get dep failures everytime you do a "yum upgrade".
If you're not going to use RT, just skip DBIx::SearchBuilder altogether.
# yum -y install perl-Want perl-Clone perl-Cache-Simple-TimedExpiry # yum -y install perl-DBD-SQLite perl-capitalization perl-Class-Accessor # rpm -ivh --nodeps http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/${BASEARCH}/dag/RPMS/perl-DBIx-SearchBuilder-1.43-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm # echo "exclude=perl-DBIx-SearchBuilder" >> /etc/yum.conf
System configuration
This is just following the directions with CentOS-specific commands.
# groupadd freeside # useradd -g freeside freeside
With CentOS 4.4, postgresql wouldn't start if SELinux was enabled. We call "setenforce 0" here to temporarily disable it. Some claim that it only needs to be disabled the first time postgresql is started.
Enable postgresql at startup, disable selinux temporarily, and start postgresql.
# chkconfig postgresql on # setenfore 0 # service postgresql start
Create the freeside datbase user for postgresql.
# su -c "createuser -P freeside" - postgres
Installing Freeside
su to the freeside user, extract a copy of the freeside tarball or check out the code from CVS into the freeside user's home directory. You should have the freeside top-level Makefile in /home/freeside/freeside/Makefile or /home/freeside/freeside-1.7.0/Makefile at this point. 1.7.0 wasn't officially released at the time of writing, so we're using a version checked-out from CVS.
Edit freeside's top-level Makefile with your configuration. Here are some examples...
FREESIDE_CONF = /etc/freeside FREESIDE_LOG = /var/log/freeside FREESIDE_LOCK = /var/lib/freeside FREESIDE_CACHE = /var/lib/freeside FREESIDE_EXPORT = /var/lib/freeside APACHE_VERSION = 2 FREESIDE_DOCUMENT_ROOT = /var/www/freeside/html INIT_FILE = /etc/init.d/freeside INIT_INSTALL = /sbin/chkconfig freeside on HTTPD_RESTART = /etc/init.d/httpd restart APACHE_CONF = /etc/httpd-freeside/conf.d
As the freeside user, create the database and make the perl modules.
$ createdb -E sql_ascii freeside $ make perl-modules
As root, install the perl modules and create the initial config.
# make install-perl-modules # mkdir -m 770 /var/lib/freeside # chown -R freeside:root /var/lib/freeside/ # make create-config
Apache Configuration
Creating Freeside's Apache Instance
The default Apache init script for CentOS doesn't make it very easy to setup multiple instances of Apache. A few small modifications take care of that problem.
Start by making a copy of the init script, as well as download the patch and apply it to your httpd-freeside init script. You can make a symlink if you'd like to eventually setup additional Apache instances.
# ln -s /etc/init.d/httpd /etc/init.d/httpd-freeside # cd /etc/init.d/ # wget -O /tmp/httpd-freeside.patch http://users.fire2wire.com/~khoff/freeside/1.7.0/httpd-freeside.patch # patch < /tmp/httpd-freeside.patch
Make a copy of the Apache server root.
# cp -av /etc/httpd /etc/httpd-freeside
You can remove any extra conf files from /etc/httpd-freeside/conf.d (webdav, php, etc.) if you're not using them. They'll only take up more memory and potentially make freeside slower.
/etc/httpd-freeside/conf/httpd.conf
Change the following Apache configuration directives in /etc/httpd-freeside/conf/httpd.conf to match our previous changes.
- ServerRoot "/etc/httpd-freeside"
- PidFile run/httpd-freeside.pid
We're changing the listening port in case you're using the default Apache configuration (and port) for something else. This can be remedied by binding to a specific IP address as well (eg. 192.168.0.2:80).
- Listen 8080
Freeside's instance of Apache needs to run as the freeside user and group.
- User freeside
- Group freeside
- DocumentRoot "/var/www/freeside/html"
- <Directory "/var/www/freeside/html">
- ErrorLog logs/freeside_error_log
- CustomLog logs/freeside_access_log combined
Install Docs and Freeside's Apache Includes
Inside the freeside source directory, run "make install-docs" and "make install-apache" as root.
# make install-docs # make install-apache
Edit the config file that was just created (/etc/httpd-freeside/conf.d/freeside-base2.conf) by "make install-apache" and change the AuthUserFile directive to match our new path.
- AuthUserFile /etc/freeside/htpasswd
Populating the Database
Populate the freeside database with the initial data, as the freeside user.
$ freeside-setup -d example.com
Create the freeside system users, as the freeside user.
$ freeside-adduser -g 1 fs_queue $ freeside-adduser -g 1 fs_daily $ freeside-adduser -g 1 fs_selfservice
Create whatever other freeside users you want, again, as the freeside user.
freeside-adduser -g 1 username htpasswd /etc/freeside/htpasswd username
Repeat the last two commands as many times as you want for your internal staff's freeside accounts.
Startup Configuration
We just need to make sure that our new instance of Apache and the freeside queue daemon start when we boot.
# make install-init # chkconfig freeside on # chkconfig httpd-freeside on
And last but not least...start freeside's Apache instance.
# service httpd-freeside start
Hopefully, Apache should start without errors. If you do get errors, check /var/log/httpd/freeside_error_log.
Assuming Apache started correctly, you should now be able to access freeside via http://<Your server's FQDN or IP>:8080/. You can login using the username and password you set earlier with htpasswd.
From here, consult the standard freeside install documentation in the wiki on how to proceed with initial configuration. Good luck!
Problems
There might be some formatting issues as this was converted from TWiki to MediaWiki markup. If the syntax of a command doesn't look correct or doesn't make sense, it probably didn't get escaped correctly, or your web browser gobbled up some angle brackets, or both!
