Hi @all,

I would like to install zenoss on a box running opensuse 10.3. Actually I had 
it up running already, but there seem to be some problems. I am installing it 
on a dedicated machine... Doing a new installation wont be a problem if 
required..

There are some details I dont understand about the installation process:

First of all, there is a tarball at the download section for opensuse 10.2 
which I download and tried to use, but I keep getting the error message "python 
2.3 or 2.4 required" when executing ./install.sh. (actually python 2.5x is 
installed, cause there is no other version available through yast software 
management and I dunno how to install an older version of it)...

So I used the "install from source" manual and I guess "svn co 
http://dev.zenoss.org/svn/trunk/inst zenossinst" downloads a working python 
version with the other stuff...

But is the version installed this way (I think it was 2.1.72) a stable version 
or some kind of devel-version?

Why is there a tarball at all if the manual tells to download from "trunk" 
anyway?

Ok.. so I used ./install.sh and it put everything in place. Another confusing 
thing for a newbie like me would be that the manual (install from source) tells 
how access to the webportal is done before telling me how to start zenoss 
deamons...

So I start the services but when I do "/usr/local/zenoss/bin/zenoss status" 
only the first two deamons are running. However if I do "ps uaxw | grep zenoss" 
I see that all zenoss services are running... Why is that?

And to make it even more confusing, when I do "zenoss stop" it looks like it is 
stopping all services one by one, but afterwards the same services as before 
are running when "ps uaxw | grep zenoss" is done. Can someone please explain? 
Is it possible that the starting/stopping skript does for some reason not 
recognize the services and leaves them running...?

I havent looked around on the web interface for long due to this issues I want 
to solve first hand, but already encountered 3 problems:

1. When I go to device list, it tells me "loading..." but nothing happens, like 
process has hung up..

2. when I go to events I get a browser window error message telling me there is 
"no connection to the server", however some events show up.

3. Everything is dead slow even though I am on the same switch as the linux 
machine running zenoss (using windows with IE7 to connect to web interface).. 
Linux machine has 512 mb ram and is running a pentium 4...

Tanks for any help!
