[Koha] Installing Koha 3.12 on CentOS 5.x 32bit

[Raj Pawan]

I have a requirement of hosting a Free Library management system for a Non
Profit organization with a noble cause. We were able to manage and get a
free VPS hosting space for ourselves with the following configuration: 

OS: CentOS 5.x 32bit 
Bandwidth limit: 500 GB 
Memory: 512 MB 
Disk: 20 GB 
Absolutely No Support offered by web hosting company as this is a Free VPS
account, so I am all on my own with the help of the Koha forums and mailing
lists. 

I am using a Mac for all the operations and unfortunately the web console
provided by webhosters do not work with it as a Java applet has not been
signed against the Apple authority. So, I am using SSH to remotely login via
terminal. 

Questions: 
1. Is it possible to install Koha 3.12 or 3.14 on CentOS 5.x? 
2. I referred this post but not being able to get it to work. What are the
packages which I should get before I start installing Koha into it. 
3. apt-get does not work for me. I have wget installed but no dpkg as
explained in this post. 
4. I am totally new to VPS thing, where exactly should I copy all the files
etc.? 

Thank you for any help / suggestion which you might offer. Eagerly
anticipating replies and help.

Greetings,


Questions:
1. Is it possible to install Koha 3.12 or 3.14 on CentOS 5.x?


No, it is not easily possible.
Newer, supported (by the general masses for small amounts of free time) 
versions of Koha require Perl 5.10 -- and that's still pretty old.
However, CentOS 5 (if I recall correctly) still only has 5.8. You would need 
to figure how to upgrade your Perl without busting the rest of the 
environment. I don't know how.


CentOS 6 does have 5.10, but getting Koha onto CentOS is not the easiest of 
tasks.




2. I referred this post but not being able to get it to work. What are the
packages which I should get before I start installing Koha into it.
3. apt-get does not work for me. I have wget installed but no dpkg as
explained in this post.
4. I am totally new to VPS thing, where exactly should I copy all the 
files

etc.?



There are different kinds of Linux variants with their own packaging 
systems. Debian and debian-based OS's (like Ubuntu) use apt-get. CentOS is 
not Debian-based. It is Red Hat based. You would use yum. However, you can't 
get an apt-get command, turn the word apt-get into yum and expect it to 
work. Red Hat and Debian do many things differently.



OS: CentOS 5.x 32bit
Bandwidth limit: 500 GB
Memory: 512 MB
Disk: 20 GB


Lastly, 512MB?! Seriously consider 1GB at least.

GPML,
Mark Tompsett
