The following steps have been tested on Redhat x86 (32-bit) and x86-64 (64-bit) platforms.
In the following instructions, you are asked to perform certain steps as either the root user or the opensrf user.
su -
command and enter the password of the root user.
To switch from the root user to a different user, issue the su - <username>
command; for example, su - opensrf
. Once you have become a non-root user, to become the root user again simply issue the exit
command.
rhnreg_ks --username=<user> --password=<pass> --profilename=<name> vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux # change from enforcing to disabled reboot
/etc/init.d/iptables stop chkconfig --del iptables
/bin/bash
to inherit a reasonable environment:yum install -y subversion useradd -m -s /bin/bash opensrf passwd opensrf # only necessary if you want to log in to this user directly
cd && svn checkout svn://svn.open-ils.org/OpenSRF/trunk OpenSRF-trunk
cd /home/opensrf/OpenSRF-trunk make -f src/extras/Makefile.install rhel
This will install a number of packages required by OpenSRF on your system, including some Perl modules from CPAN. You can say “no” to the initial CPAN configuration prompt to allow it to automatically configure itself to download and install Perl modules from CPAN. The CPAN installer will ask you a number of times whether it should install prerequisite modules - say “yes”.
–enable-python
and –enable-java
configure options if you want to include support for Python and Java, respectively:cd /home/opensrf/OpenSRF-trunk cat /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 >> aclocal.m4 mkdir m4 && ./autogen.sh export memcached_LIBS=/usr/local/lib/libmemcached export memcached_CFLAGS=-lmemcached ./configure --prefix=/openils --sysconfdir=/openils/conf --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs make
cd /home/opensrf/OpenSRF-trunk make install
/openils/lib
to the system dynamic library path and make your system recognize the newly installed libraries./etc/ld.so.conf.d/osrf.conf
containing the following line:/openils/lib
ldconfig
public.localhost
for the public domain and private.localhost
for the private domain. On a single-server system, the easiest way to define public and private domains is to define separate hostnames by adding entries to the /etc/hosts
file. Here are the entries to add as root to a stock /etc/hosts
file for our example domains: 127.0.1.2 public.localhost public 127.0.1.3 private.localhost private

in the home directory of each user you want to use to run the srfsh command line client for testing OpenSRF, and edit .srfsh.xml
as follows:domain
is the router hostname (following our domain examples, private.localhost
will give your srfsh access to all OpenSRF services, while public.localhost
will only give you access to those OpenSRF services that are publicly exposed)username

.bashrc

Before starting OpenSRF, ensure that your Jabber and memcached daemons are running. As the root user:
/opt/ejabberd/bin/ejabberdctl start /etc/init.d/memcached start
You might want to add these to start when the machine boots:
useradd -m -s /bin/bash ejabberd chown ejabberd:ejabberd -R /opt/ejabberd cp /opt/ejabberd/bin/ejabberd.init /etc/init.d/ejabberd vi /etc/init.d/ejabberd
Now add these lines to the top of /etc/init.d/ejabberd immediately below the #!/bin/sh:
# chkconfig: 2345 95 20 # description: ejabberd start/stop init script # Script to start and stop ejabberd # processname: ejabberd
Now finish adding these programs to autostart:
chkconfig --level 2345 ejabberd on chkconfig --level 2345 memcached on
Starting OpenSRF with the start_all
option starts the OpenSRF router, Perl services, and C services. As the opensrf user, start OpenSRF (NOTE: use the -l
flag only if you wish to force the hostname for the <hosts>
section in opensrf.xml
to be localhost
):
osrf_ctl.sh -l -a start_all
/openils/bin
directory; this should have been set by .bashrc
when you logged in as the opensrf
user, but you can manually set it using the following command:export PATH=$PATH:/openils/bin
Once you have installed and started OpenSRF, test your connection to OpenSRF via srfsh
:
srfsh
and try calling the add
method on the OpenSRF math service:/openils/bin/srfsh srfsh# request opensrf.math add 2 2
You should see a result like:
Received Data: 4 ------------------------------------ Request Completed Successfully Request Time in seconds: 0.007519 ------------------------------------ srfsh#
If this does not work, it's time to do some troubleshooting. Please do not make any significant changes to your configuration. If you have followed the entire set of installation steps listed here closely, you are probably extremely close to a working system. Gather your configuration files and log files in /openils/var/log
and contact the Evergreen development mailing list for assistance before making any drastic changes to your system configuration.
