Distribution Setup

We support three main Linux distributions (CentOS, Fedora, ubuntu), but you need to maintain some security configuration and packages.

CentOS 5.2

1. Update the yum repository

scp mada0:/etc/yum.repost.d/Ruby-Media.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
scp mada0:/etc/yum.repost.d/Rlang.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/

1. Update distribution

yum update -y

1. Several packages

yum install -y R

yum install -y eruby eruby-devel eruby-libs ruby ruby-devel ruby-docs ruby-irb ruby-libs ruby-mode ruby-racc ruby-rdoc ruby-ri ruby-tcltk rubygem-rake rubygems subversion-ruby

yum install -y compat-db compat-db compat-gcc-34 compat-gcc-34-c++ compat-gcc-34-g77 compat-glibc compat-glibc compat-glibc-headers compat-libf2c-34 compat-libgcc-296 compat-libstdc++-296 compat-libstdc++-33 compat-libstdc++-33 compat-readline43

1. Setup IP tables

scp mada0:/mada/server/setup/setup/iptables /etc/sysconfig/iptables

1. Setup services correctly

yum install -y chkconfig
scp mada0:/mada/server/setup/setup/setup.serv /root/setup.serv

for a in `grep "3:on" setup.serv  | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 3 $a on;  done
for a in `grep "3:off" setup.serv | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 3 $a off; done
for a in `grep "4:on" setup.serv  | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 4 $a on;  done
for a in `grep "4:off" setup.serv | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 4 $a off; done
for a in `grep "5:on" setup.serv  | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 5 $a on;  done
for a in `grep "5:off" setup.serv | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 5 $a off; done

1. Setup automount

mkdir /mada
unalias cp
cp -f mascd1:/etc/auto.master mascd1:/etc/auto.mada /etc/
service autofs restart
