Installing Nethserver with yum -- Issues

DaveM · April 4, 2015, 10:38am

I just tried to follow the provided instructions about how to install it from a minimal fresh centos installation.
Unfortunately this “method” do not worked for me as it should…
I tried it in a OpenStack KVM Virtual Machine, with the centos 6.6 x86_64 minimal installation. *not custom iso or any modifications for example like ovh do. It is a pure centos 6.6 minimal installation

Im only getting this:

[root@snf-652968 log]# nethserver-install
Starting installation process. It will take a while…

have you tried running yum update first?
also, maybe you could installed the required packages first?
(the ones that start with Error: package:)

DaveM · April 4, 2015, 11:13am

Well, in post install commands after centos installed, yeap, of course i have run yum update
The point is to install manually the “required” packages? I was thought that was take care automatically by yum…
Something is wrong with “nethserver-install” script (i think, only speculation) because that command, should not need anything, and do the work automatically. I have seen similar issues

Lincee · April 4, 2015, 11:18am

well i suppose you’re right
i must admit i have not yet seen such error, so i’m only thinking aloud

filippo_carletti · April 4, 2015, 3:05pm

IIRC, in the past I’ve been instrcuted to NOT run yum update before “morphing” CentOS to NethServer.

install centos
install nethserver
yum update

I’m not sure it’s still valid for 6.6, though.

PParker · April 4, 2015, 5:45pm

Single each error out, I did not update i used CentOS mininal to do mine, but if you have to look for the dependencies and deal with them one at a time… it maybe you need to uninstall a package or two and update and place them back on. Its happened to me already i had to uninstall mysql-client and mysql-libs…I needed to install mysql-devel.it usually tells you the requirements for each file and dependencies and deal with them individually rather then whole I ended up using Percona-Server 55 and getting that mysql-devel package on and uninstalling Percona-Server once it went stable, then adding mysql-devel all on its own as a yum install after that… maybe this can help you?

DaveM · April 5, 2015, 3:40am

i’ll try once more

I’ll reinstall centos 6.6, without any post install commands, nothing, and i’ll procceed according the instructions in the wiki about how to installing it with yum (yum localinstall etc). First reinstallation, then the two commands about installing the repo files of nethserver and the command : nethserver-install . I hope this time will work. If not, i’ll report back what was the “output”

But something it tells me, i will not have success. Im sure about something is wrong with the “nethserver-install” script but i dont know what (im not programmer/developer or bash hacker). If it will not work again, maybe we need another solution/way to install nethserver when we cannot from the nethserver isos, and we have only a minimal centos installation (with the success of the installation, i can make then a diskdump/template, and giving it to the rest of the users of the cloud compute service which im using from my university -----> https://okeanos.grnet.gr —> http://www.synnefo.org)

That is very odd you went straight for the install, i dont get it… what did you use for a base to install CentOs? I used CentOS minimal and didnt have an issue, maybe your issues lie it the repository your using? I look at those lines and it looks like valid baseurl- CentOS repository,and it says invalid release…

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Setting up Install Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: centos-base
YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file.
Eg. Invalid release/

it didnt setup completely. So you only got a portion of the install? This what i see…

Use CentOS 6.6 Minimal and follow the instructions to the T to install NethServer…

is begins here:http://docs.nethserver.org/en/latest/installation.html

With this line about halfway down the page: I had to use this method myself it took 2 tries to get it right…Good Luck!!!

Install on CentOS

It is possible to install NethServer on a fresh CentOS installation using the yum command to download software packages. This is the recommended installation method if you have

a virtual private servers (VPS), or
an USB stick.

For example, if you wish to install NethServer 6.6, just start with a CentOS 6.6 on your system (many VPS providers offer CentOS pre-installed virtual machines), and then execute below commands to transform CentOS into NethServer.

Enable NethServer repositories with this command:

yum localinstall -y http://mirror.nethserver.org/nethserver/nethserver-release-6.6.rpm

Try once more please and report back your information…it take a few for me… this is normal as all repositories do not respond the same due to web traffic…

That is telling me it is a repo error, try again see if it goes thru if not we have issues with the repos that need to be researched…

If this happens once more I will do a virtual install and debunk the issue for you…

thanks
Phil

Well, im using pure centos 6.6 Minimal Installation, no modifications. Just a pure fresh installtion of centos 6.6 minimal.
I have already follow that you have paste And every time it fails badly

But…

When im changing from the NethServer.repo for the centos-base and centos-updates the domain of mirrorlist
for example: mirrolist.nethserver.org (original) to… mirrorlist.centos.org the nethserver-install script it works as should…

i have managed to continue the installation by changing this in the NethServer.repo file. Everything else, fails badly with no way to install nethserver as the instruction from the wiki saying with using yum

Very strange for me anyway. Very unorthodox way hehe

PParker · April 5, 2015, 6:53am

Everything I do concerning this distro is unorthodox, but get this,if it was the same it would be like any other distro, which keeps it alive… it will smooth out give it time…nice to know i was on target…

Ehi @giacomo or @davidep do you have any hint for @DaveM?

PParker · April 5, 2015, 8:13am

you know i just thought about it why dont you have EPEL installed? at the very least? I use EPEL and remi, remi becomes a little tricky so dont mess with it unless your really in for a lot of fun

DaveM · April 5, 2015, 9:56am

in all my centos installtions, im installing at least epel, after the initial and successfull yum update. Not because i need it right now for something, but just in case for something i will need in the future.
In the past i was have use many other repos, but mixing different repos is not always a good thing.
In my case with nethserver, i will install epel after the successfull installtion and configuration (and keep it disabled for future needs maybe)

(not related with the installation issue, offtopic)

luigi_lops · April 5, 2015, 8:55pm

what do you mean “morphing” form nethserver to centos? i just want nethserver atop my centos installation, as a kind of webmin. I’m not going to spend all the days it took to finally have a stable configuration with all the services activated because you can’t decouple the services from the distro

PParker · April 6, 2015, 4:26am

This distro is still being designed and thats something we are all working on, We are looking at features and adding them as the community demands. If we pushed a distro or a release too fast with everything you wanted it would just crash and burn, so we need to test what does not break the distro first then code in later what the demands of the community are…You can move around the distro and install services that you want would prove to be an unstable distro with tons of issues.

filippo_carletti · April 6, 2015, 8:38am

That’s how NethServer works. We add some packages to centos. We provide a web interface and configuration templates, with automation to fire up events when needed.
