Hello, I saw in your other mail, that you already succeeded in instaling zenoss the hard way ;-). I had the same problems that you have, struggling for two days and I was able to track down the problem. While running install.sh, as someone already mentioned, the script stucks at "Loading initial Zenoss objects into the Zeo database" or $ZENHOME/bin/zenbuild -u $MYSQLUSER -p "$MYSQLPASS" 2>>zenbuild.log I did `lsof -u zenoss', and found out that there are two suspicios items in /tmp: python 6313 zenoss 4u REG 9,0 0 7989 /tmp/tmpAsph77.tbuf (deleted) python 6313 zenoss 5u REG 9,0 20971520 8113 /tmp/tmpFKltig (deleted) Running `df -h' continuously, shows my /tmp partition getting filled, although `ls' shows almost no files in it, and `du -hs /tmp' shows a very small usage. It turns out, that during install, zenbuild fills my /tmp partition(which is about 600MB), and the installation failes after all. I don't know how exactly, but I know that this is the problem. Resizing the partition to 1G did it. Maybe this is a bug, because with previous versions, I have no problems at all during installation. regards, Dimitar _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
