Hi Folks, Thank you for this great software. It rocks! After installation on FC 3 and X/OS 4, i wanted to install FDS on Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux (Sarge), my platforms of preference. FWIW, this is how it worked for me: FDS-on-Ubuntu/Debian-howto ========================= This document describes howto install the Fedora Directory Server (FDS) on Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) or Debian GNU/Linux Sarge. I presume you already have done a minimal installation of the OS of choise. Most steps to Ubuntu and Sarge are equal, however this howto is base on the installation of the ''sudo'' package. As an alternative you can ''su -'' on Debian and skip the sudo part of the commands. 1 Get the software =================Download a prebuild rpm from http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Download Choose the version suitable for Fedora Core 3 and RHEL4. For Debian GNU/Linux Sarge the rpm for RHEL3 is required (Ubuntu has libc6 version 2.3.5 while Sarge has version 2.3.2). 2 Install alien-package ======================Alien is a tool that supports converting software in ''rpm'' format to ''deb'' format. sudo apt-get install alien 3 Build the fedora-ds .deb package =================================sudo alien /YOURPATH/fedora-ds-1.0.1-1.RHEL4.i386.opt.rpm (Ubuntu) sudo alien /YOURPATH/fedora-ds-1.0.1-1.RHEL3.i386.opt.rpm (Debian Sarge) 4 Build dependencies ===================The Fedora Directory Server needs ''libtermcap.so.2'', so install it. sudo apt-get install termcap-compat Install the Sun Java SDK or JRE version 1.4.2. Don''t forget to set the JAVA_HOME and PATH variables! The admin-server of FDS depends on Apache2 compiled conform the worker model, so let''s install it sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker As Fedora calls the daemon ''httpd'' while Ubuntu calls it ''apache2'' (like Debian), we want to create a symbolic link to satisfy FDS'' setup utility. sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/apache2 /usr/sbin/httpd 5 Install .deb package =====================sudo dpkg -i /YOURPATH/fedora-ds_1.0.1-2_i386.deb 6 Create a user and group for the daemon =======================================sudo groupadd fds sudo useradd -s /bin/false -g fds fds 7 Run the setup program ======================Now we want to configure the FDS. As the setup utility won''t find the Apache2 modules on Debian/Ubuntu by default, we''ll have to help it. First we''ll create an install.inf file by running the setup utility with the ''-k'' option. sudo /opt/fedora-ds/setup/setup -k Choose ''1'' for as minimal questions as possible. Choose ''fds'' when asked which user and group apply. After finalizing the setup wizard the directory server itself will be started as user ''fds''. It listens on the port you just configured (i chose port ''389'', the default LDAP-port). When done, copy the install.inf file to /opt sudo cp /opt/fedora-ds/setup/install.inf /opt sudo chmod 640 /opt/install.inf Then add this rule to the [admin] section of the file: ApacheRoot= /usr/lib/apache2 Afterwards rerun the setup utility with the following options: sudo /opt/fedora-ds/setup/setup -s -f /opt/install.inf 8 Adjust the admin-server''s httpd.conf =====================================We have to make some changes to the ''/opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/httpd.conf'' file. Some modules do not have to be loaded as they are compiled in statically. So outcomment these lines: ... #LoadModule access_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_access.so #LoadModule auth_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth.so #LoadModule log_config_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_log_config.so #LoadModule env_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_env.so ... #LoadModule setenvif_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_setenvif.so #LoadModule mime_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mime.so ... #LoadModule negotiation_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_negotiation.so #LoadModule dir_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_dir.so ... #LoadModule alias_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_alias.so ... 9 Now try to start the admin-server ==================================sudo /opt/fedora-ds/start-admin If it works, Good :-) If not, you probably didn''t have enough coffee! Cheers, Olivier Brugman
