Catalyst::Manual::Installation::CentOS4 - Catalyst Installation on CentOS 4
This document provides directions on how to install CentOS 4 (a rebuild of RedHat Enterprise 4) and then install Catalyst.
If you already have a functioning install of CentOS, RHEL, or a
comparable Linux OS, you should be able to skip this first section and
go straight to the INSTALL CATALYST
section.
NOTE: You might want to consult the latest version of this document. It is available at: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/trunk/Catalyst-Runtime/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Installation/CentOS4.pod
These directions are written for CentOS 4.4 on an i386 machine; however, you can substitute other versions as they become available.
CentOS-4.4-i386-bin1of4.iso
(you only need the first disk).
Burn the .iso to CD.
Insert the CD into your machine and power it up.
Hit Enter
at the boot:
prompt.
CD media test: you can either select OK
or Skip
depending on
whether or not you trust your burn.
The installation GUI should start. Click next at the ``Welcome to
CentOS-4'' screen.
Select a language and click Next
.
Select a keyboard configuration and click Next
.
Select Custom
for the installation type and click Next
.
Leave Automatically partition
selected on the Disk Partitioning
Setup
and click Next
.
Uncheck Review (and modify if needed) the partitions created
, but
leave the rest of the default settings on the Automatic Partitioning
screen. Then click Next
.
Click Yes
at the Are you sure you want to do this?
warning.
Click Next
on the Boot Loader Configuration
screen.
Update the Network Configuration
screen as necessary and click Next
.
Check Remote Login (SSH)
and click Next
on the Firewall
Configuration
screen.
Select additional languages as necessary. Click Next
.
Select the appropriate time zone and click Next
.
Enter a root password and click Next
.
Scroll to the bottom of the Package Group Selection
screen and check
Minimal
(the last option). Click Next
.
Click Next
at the About to Install
screen.
The installation will prepare the hard drive and then install the
required rpm packages.
Once the installation completes, remove the CD and click Reboot
.
Type vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
and add the following line as the
third to last line of the file (above the -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j
REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
line):
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 3000 -j ACCEPT
This will allow Catalyst to make use of port 3000 (the default for the development server).
Type service iptables restart
to restart the iptables firewall using
the updated configuration.
yum -y update
to retrieve the latest patches.
yum -y install gcc expat-devel sqlite3
to install several
packages used by Catalyst.
Type the following:
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell ... Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes] yes The following questions are intended to help you with the ... cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7601) ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN') cpan> force install Module::Build ... cpan> quitNote: You need to have CPAN manually configured prior to running cat-install. As shown above, you should automatically receive a prompt for this when you first run
perl -MCPAN -e shell
. You
can re-run the configuration script by typing o conf init
at the
cpan>
prompt.
Optional: The remaining steps of the installation could run
significantly faster if you configure a fast mirror that uses HTTP vs.
FTP (both transfer data at the same rate once the transfer is in
progress, but HTTP connects much more quickly... and a Catalyst
installation involves many connections). If you want to change the
selection(s)
you made during the ``manual configuration'' process above,
you can manually add a single URL. To prepend a new URL to the front
of the list, use the unshift
option to o conf
:
cpan> o conf urllist unshift http://www.perl.com/CPAN/
Where http://www.perl.com/CPAN/
is replaced by a nearby, HTTP-based
mirror. You can get a list of all mirrors (including where they are
located, their bandwidth, and their update frequency) at
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY.
Then, be sure to save your changes (or they will be lost the next time you restart the CPAN shell):
cpan> o conf commit
You can view the current settings with o conf urllist
(or just
o conf
to view all settings):
cpan> o conf urllist urllist http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ Type 'o conf' to view configuration edit options Note that multiple values can be entered for the C<urllist> option (the first entry will be used as long as it responds).Review the
cat-install
documentation from the
http://www.shadowcatsystems.co.uk web site:
If you want to get started quickly with Catalyst, Shadowcat provides an installer script that will automate most of the process of installing it for you. Please bear in mind that this script is currently considered beta quality; we don't think it will eat your system but we make no guarantee of that.
First, you'll need -
* Perl, 5.8.1+ (if you're on windows, get it from Active State) * make of some sort. On unix/linux you should already have one. On windows get nmake from Microsoft. * A compiler. On unix/linux you should already have one. On windows, get the latest Dev-C++ beta. * All three of the above in your PATH for whatever shell you're using * A configured CPAN.pm. perl -MCPAN -e shell should get CPAN to walk you through the configuration process * Module::Build. Active State kindly include this for you.
Ok, now that your environment is set up, download the installer from this link, open a command prompt in the directory you downloaded it to and run perl cat-install. By the time it exits, you should have a full Catalyst install.
If anything goes wrong, please send the full build log and the output of perl -V to cat-install (at) shadowcatsystems.co.uk so we can try and resolve your issue.Type
wget http://www.shadowcatsystems.co.uk/static/cat-install
to
retrieve a copy of the cat-install
script.
Type vi cat-install
to open the installer script, then insert the
following lines at the bottom of the file (after the
install('Catalyst');
line):
install('ExtUtils::ParseXS'); install('Digest::SHA1'); install('Digest::SHA'); install('DBIx::Class'); install('DBIx::Class::HTMLWidget'); install('Module::ScanDeps'); install('Module::CoreList'); install('PAR::Dist'); install('Archive::Tar'); install('Module::Install'); install('Catalyst::Devel'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::Session'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::FastMmap'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::Roles'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIC'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::DefaultEnd'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::StackTrace'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::Dumper'); install('Catalyst::Plugin::HTML::Widget'); install('Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema'); install('Catalyst::View::TT'); install('Test::WWW::Mechanize'); install('Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst'); install('Test::Pod'); install('Test::Pod::Coverage');Type
perl cat-install
. It will take a while to complete.
Tip: You may want to enable logging of the output that cat-install
generates as it runs -- it can be useful if you need to troubleshoot
a failure. The log will generate almost 1 MB of output.
Note: Once the perl cat-install
is complete, you may want to rerun the
command to check the status of the packages listed in <cat-install>. Ideally,
everything should return a name is up to date
message. If any packages
try to re-install, the you could need to manually install the package with the
force
option. Also, look for new optional dependences that cat-install
was not able to automatically handle. You can address these by manually
installing the dependency and then re-running perl cat-install
.
In some cases you may wish to install an earlier version of a module. For
example, say that the latest version of Module::Install is 0.64 and you
want to install 0.63. The following command under perl -MCPAN -e shell
:
cpan> install A/AD/ADAMK/Module-Install-0.63.tar.gz
You should now have a functioning Catalyst installation with the modules and plugins required to run the Catalyst tutorial.
$ wget http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/trunk/examples/Tutorial/Final_Tarball/MyApp.tgzUntar it:
$ tar zxvf MyApp.tgz $ cd MyAppRun the tests:
