All,

I did as Josh suggested and it seems to be working fine for me. The tables in the database were created successfully, the services start fine using "./zenoss start". The only thing i find a little buggy is that if i did a "./zenoss stop", it says all the daemons are stopped, but if i do a "ps -ef | grep python" in a non-predictable format, some daemons are still running and i have to do a manual "pkill python" in order to fully stop the processes. If i dont, if i try to do a "./zenoss start" with those random daemons still running, the "About" link will show unpredictable results and i can not start a stopped daemon for more than 10 seconds before it kills itself.

So when i go to create an init script, i will just have a case statement with a "pkill python" as the stop statement and the "/opt/zenoss/bin/zenoss" as the start statement.

To answer your question Christopher Blunck, I am now currently installing Zenoss on my test box which is running RHEL 3 which had net-snmp-perl installed using the source code for Net::SNMP pulled down from NET::SNMP's website.

Thanks,

Daniel

P.S.  I cant wait to start playing with this system... :)

If you are sure that you have a correct perl-net-snmp installation, you can try adding the --nodeps switch to your RPM line:

Rpm --Uvh zenoss-1.0.2-0.i386.rpm ---nodeps

John,

Ok, Stupid question. I am trying attempt number 2 for trying to install it from rpm like you have. Each time i try to install it from rpm, even using the "--force" option i get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] zenoss]# rpm -i --force zenoss-1.0.2-0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        perl(Net::SNMP) is needed by zenoss-1.0.2-0.i386

I know that perl net_snmp is installed because of the output of the following command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] zenoss]# rpm -qai | awk '{if ( $1 == "Name" ) printf "%-30s", $3; if ( $1 == "Version" ) print $3 }' | grep net-snmp-perl
net-snmp-perl                 5.1.2

Is the rpm looking for the perl(Net::SNMP) files in a place where they are not installed? And if so, is there a way to point the rpm to where these files live?

-Daniel

It looks like after the install, the user, database and proper tables
were created and i am no longer getting the "Lost Connection to Zenoss"
red text on the web GUI. So John, after your last install, everything is working for you now?
Including your zensyslog and zentrap?
Can you start/stop zenoss using the web gui and the "./zenoss stop"
"./zenoss start" and the "./zenoss status" and your "About" link on the
web GUI are all happy?
Thanks, -Daniel P.S. What steps did you take to un-install zenoss? Did you just wipe
the /opt/zenoss directory and do a "make clean" in your install directory?
Everything seems to be running for me now, I've pointed it at a number
of servers and the SNMP details have started populating Zenoss successfully.
I've tried /etc/rc.d/init.d/zenoss status, stop and start and can view
the About page all of which are showing 'Up'.
I was using the rpm package, not built from source, so all I did was
un-install the package and delete the /opt/zenoss/ directory.
