  Howto – Centos 5 64bit Pandora Easy Installation

  Posted by andrea-consadori on April 8, 2011 at 18:09

  Hi, this is my fist Guide on Pandora and i want to share an easy metod to install Pandora FMS on Centos 5 64 bit.

  First if you use a server without gui interface install openssh server to manage from remote
  yum install openssh mysql-server

  then install dependencies
  yum install php php-gd graphviz php-mysql php-pear-DB  php-mbstring php-ldap php-snmp php-ldap php-common

  yum install perl-HTML-Tree perl-DBI perl-DBD-mysql perl-XML-Simple perl-XML-SAX perl-NetAddr-IP net-snmp net-tools nmap wmic sudo xprobe net-snmp-utils
  

  and if you want to switch management interface from http to https
  yum install mod_ssl

  now we came to Centos php 5.2.0 issue

  create a new repo like that
  /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Testing.repo

  # CentOS-Testing:
  # !!!! CAUTION !!!!
  # This repository is a proving grounds for packages on their way to CentOSPlus and CentOS Extras.
  # They may or may not replace core CentOS packages, and are not guaranteed to function properly.
  # These packages build and install, but are waiting for feedback from testers as to
  # functionality and stability. Packages in this repository will come and go during the
  # development period, so it should not be left enabled or used on production systems without due
  # consideration.
  [c5-testing]
  name=CentOS-5 Testing
  baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/
  enabled=1
  gpgcheck=1
  gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing
  includepkgs=php*
  

  then check with “rpm -qa |grep php” if you have php packet installed, if so remote before continue

  then execute “yum update php” to install php5.2.0 on centos

  and restart web server “service httpd restart”

  fix the last dependancy with “yum install xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-misc”

  now create another repo
  vi /etc/yum.repos.d/graphwiz.repo

  [graphviz-stable]
  name=Graphviz - RHEL $releasever - $basearch
  baseurl=http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/redhat/el$releasever/$basearch/os/
  enabled=1
  gpgcheck=0
  
  [graphviz-stable-source]
  name=Graphviz - RHEL $releasever - Source
  baseurl=http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SRPMS/
  enabled=0
  gpgcheck=0
  
  [graphviz-stable-debuginfo] 
  name=Graphviz - RHEL - Debug 
  baseurl=http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/redhat/el$releasever/$basearch/debug/
  enabled=0 
  
  gpgcheck=0 
  
  [graphviz-snapshot]
  name=Graphviz - RHEL $releasever - $basearch
  baseurl=http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/development/redhat/el$releasever/$basearch/os/
  enabled=0
  gpgcheck=0
  
  [graphviz-snapshot-source]
  name=Graphviz - RHEL $releasever - Source
  baseurl=http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/development/SRPMS/
  enabled=0
  gpgcheck=0
  
  [graphviz-snapshot-debuginfo] 
  name=Graphviz - RHEL - Debug 
  baseurl=http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/development/redhat/el$releasever/$basearch/debug/
  enabled=0 
  gpgcheck=0 
  
  

  and install with yum install graphviz

  now we’re ready to install pandora-console

  rpm -i pandora_console*.rpm

  then install yum install popt

  and download wmic client and install it

  wget ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/sourceforge/p/project/pa/pandora/Tools%20and%20dependencies%20(All%20versions)/RPM%20CentOS,%20RHEL/wmic-4.0.0SVN-2.1.el5.centos.noarch.rpm

  now you’re able to install pandora_server

  rpm -i pandorafms_server-*.noarch.rpm 

  et woilla

  Pandora FMS Server configuration is /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf
  Pandora FMS Server main directory is /usr/share/pandora_server/
  The manual can be reached at: man pandora or man pandora_server
  Pandora FMS Documentation is in: http://pandorafms.org

  Don’t forget to start Tentacle Server daemon if you want to receive
  data using tentacle

                 

  a last command and we’re ready

  chkconfig httpd on && chkconfig mysqld on && chkconfig pandora_server on && chkconfig tentacle_serverd on
