Problems with installation procedure

Added by Matthew Snow 194 days ago

I tried to follow the manual, but it seems it doesn't work as is written.
When executing the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd I don't get anything like it's shown in the figures 1-3. I get asked the following:
"If you enable this option, no initial configuration or database will be created for you. Omit OpenLDAP server configuration?"
"Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged?"
"...LDAPv2 is disabled by default... Allow LDAPv2 protocol?"

For RODA-WUI I had to install "libltdl7" since the "libltdl3" is older.

And the main thing. I don't know how to install it. I picked the .tgz file from your page. Now what do I do with it? I tried to unpack it with Ark, and then wrote your command sudo ./install-, but it doesn't work this way. It says command not found.

Any help on how to fix this and install roda is apreciated.
I use (K)Ubuntu 9.10 server with Fedora Repository installed on it.

The manual instructions on how to install pre-requisited software are for the Ubuntu 8.04.
Furthermore, the RODA was only tested in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, and LDAP had a major revamp in the last version,
so you are advised to use Ubuntu 8.04 and LDAP version 2.4.15-1ubuntu3.

Nevertheless, you can try to install it in Ubuntu 9.10, but be advised that more install problems can appear.

While reconfiguring slapd:
  1. when asked to "Omit OpenLDAP server configuration?" choose "No".
  2. Choose "roda.dgarq.gov.pt" as the "DNS domain name"
  3. Choose any name for your "Organization name"
  4. Select "HDB" as the database backend
  5. Select "No" when asked "Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged?"
  6. Allow LDAPv2 protocol

For RODA-WUI you can install libltdl7, but as the libraries are statically linked, you need to make a simbolic link from libtldl7 to libltdl3.
See http://redmine.keep.pt/issues/show/25 on how to do this.

To install RODA:
  1. download the installer and unpack it
  2. Open a command line and go to the directory where you unpack the installer to
  3. You should see a file called "install-roda.sh"
  4. Execute the command
sudo ./install-roda.sh /usr/local/roda

(if it does not work, change permissions with "sudo chmod u+x install-roda.sh" and try again)

I have now created a new forum just for install problems, please use it if you have new problems:
