Scientific Linux

NOTE: This is not officially supported my Amahi. Be advised that Scientific Linux has not been tested with Fedora 14.

NOTES

Download a Scientific Linux 6.1 DVD iso from either: http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/sc ... ll-DVD.iso Or http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/sc ... ll-DVD.iso Depending on your machines processor (32bit or 64bit) Note: I used the x86_64 version.

Install and update Scientific Linux 6.1 ( I did a minimal desktop installation )

Reboot to ensure everything is ok

You now need to install a few packages from SL's repository:

bash code
​yum install ruby-libs php-mbstring ImageMagick gcc rpm-build​

Now you need to download and install the following packages:

bash code

​wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/r ... x86_64.rpm wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/r ... x86_64.rpm wget ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/da ... x86_64.rpm wget http://quattorsrv.lal.in2p3.fr/packages ... noarch.rpm wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... noarch.rpm wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... x86_64.rpm wget http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rh ... noarch.rpm wget http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rh ... x86_64.rpm wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... x86_64.rpm wget http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rh ... x86_64.rpm wget http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rh ... x86_64.rpm wget http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rh ... x86_64.rpm wget http://quattorsrv.lal.in2p3.fr/packages ... x86_64.rpm wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... noarch.rpm wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... noarch.rpm wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... x86_64.rpm wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... x86_64.rpm yum localinstall perl-Authen-PAM-0.16-1.2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall pkcs11-helper-1.08-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall openvpn-2.2.0-3.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall fpaste-0.3.5-1.el6.noarch.rpm yum localinstall rubygem-daemon_controller-0.2.5-1.noarch.rpm yum localinstall rubygem-rack-1.1.0-2.el6.noarch.rpm yum localinstall rubygem-fastthread-1.0.7-2.el6.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall rubygem-passenger-3.0.8-2.el6.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall libev-4.03-3.el6.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall rubygem-passenger-native-3.0.8-2.el6.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall ruby-RMagick-2.13.1-6.el6.1.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall rubygem-passenger-native-libs-3.0.8-2.el6_1.8.7.299.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall mod_passenger-3.0.8-2.el6.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall rubygem-rack-test-0.5.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm yum localinstall rubygem-sinatra-1.0-2.el6.noarch.rpm yum localinstall mod_fcgid-2.3.6-1.el6.x86_64.rpm yum localinstall ruby-ldap-0.9.7-10.el6.x86_64.rpm​

I then had to create a cadaver rpm package, as I could not find one via Google. Login in as none root user

bash code
​mkdir $HOME/rpm $HOME/rpm/SOURCES $HOME/rpm/SPECS $HOME/rpm/BUILD $HOME/rpm/SRPMS $HOME/rpm/RPMS $HOME/rpm/RPMS cd rpm/SOURCES wget http://www.webdav.org/cadaver/cadaver-0.23.3.tar.gz cd .. cd SPECS​

you now need to create a spec file

bash code
​nano cadaver.spec​

- Initial creation.

You now need to create the cadaver rpm with: rpmbuild -bb cadaver.spec Next, install the rpm. cd .. cd RPMS/x86_64 <-- change the x86_64 to i386 if you used the i386 iso install. yum localinstall cadaver-0.23.3-3.x86_64.rpm <-- again change, if required to match your rpm file.

Now you need to create an Amahi repo file: Note, you might have to recreate this file if overwitten by Amahi.

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/amahi.repo

[amahi] name=Amahi repository for Fedora 14 baseurl=http://f14.amahi.org/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-amahi exclude=ruby,ruby-rdoc,ruby-irb,ruby-libs,ruby-ri,ruby-devel,rubygem-passenger-native-libs,mod_passenger,perl-Authen-PAM,rubygem-passenger,rubygem-passenger-native,dhcp,rubygem-rack-test,rubygem-sinatra

Edit /etc/issue and add 'Fedora' to the end of the top line.

nano /etc/issue

Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon) Fedora <--- Added here! Kernel \r on an \m

The Openvpn files are not in the required place, create a link ln -s /usr/share/openvpn /usr/lib64/openvpn

Now follow the Amahi install instructions here: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Self-install-existing ignore the update dhclient command.

At the end you should have a working Amahi Hda server running on Scientific Linux 6.1, this has an E.O.L of Until at least 2017-11-11

I must point out that whilst this worked for me, it may not work for you, but I cannot see any reason why it would not.
