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! -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=16505#16505 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
