Hello, We are testing/evaluating Openmeetings at Basque Coutry University UPV/EHU. Based on Centos Installation instructions from openmeetings wiki . I have made a littel installation manual for RHELS , that I share with you.
UPV/EHUs motto 'Give and spread knowledge' INSTALLATION OF OPENMEETINGS ON RHELS 5.6 x64 (Tikanga) We start from a fresh installation with a MySQL database configured and running. 1. INSTALL IMAGEMAGICK yum install imagemagick ghostscript-8.70-6.el5.x86_64 already installed in my case 2. INSTALL SWFTOOLS It’s not in the rhels repos, so we have to download it; wget http://www.swftools.org/swftools-0.9.1.tar.gz Before compiling (I have some dependency problems) we must install yum install zlib-devel libjpeg-devel.x86_64 freetype-devel giflib- devel We start compiling tar -xzvf swftools-0.9.1.tar.gz ./configure make make install 3. INSTALL SOX First we must uninstall Sox 12.xx. yum remove sox wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/files/sox/14.3.2/sox-14.3.2.tar.gz/download tar -xzvf sox-14.3.2.tar.gz ./configure make -s make install 4. INSTALL FFMPEG We must remove previous version of ffmpeg, if we have already installed that was my case. yum remove ffmpeg wget http://www.ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2 bzip2 -d ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2 tar -xvfcd ff ffmpeg-snapshot.tar Before compiling due to dependencies, we must add a new repository and install some packages. rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm yum update yum install yasm ./configure make make install 5. INSTALL JAVA Easy step; yum install java 6. INSTALL OPENOFFICE You shuld download OO from openoffice.org. tar -xzvf OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm-wJRE_es.tar.gz cd OOO330_m20_native_packed-1_es.9567/ ./setup Then I create an init script and I copy to the necessary runlevel. Vi /etc/init.d/openoffice #!/bin/bash # chkconfig: 345 20 80 # description: init.d script for headless openoffice.org (3.3+ for RHEL5 64bit) # # processname: soffice # # source function library . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions RETVAL=0 SOFFICE_PATH='/usr/bin/openoffice.org3' SOFFICE_ARGS='- accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager - headless -nofirststartwizard -nologo' SOFFICE_PIDFILE=/var/run/soffice.bin.pid start_soffice() { echo -n $"Starting OpenOffice.org" $SOFFICE_PATH $SOFFICE_ARGS >/dev/null 2>&1 & [ $? -eq 0 ] && echo_success || echo_failure pidof soffice.bin > $SOFFICE_PIDFILE echo } start() { start_soffice } stop() { echo -n $"Stopping OpenOffice" killproc soffice echo } case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) stop start ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" esac Now we proceed with the standard Openmeetings installation. I only had one problem in the installation process, I had to set my database default character set to utf8 , so I add the following line in /etc/my.cnf default-character-set=utf8 restart the database daemon /etc/init.d/mysqld restart Josu Tamayo Zamorano [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenMeetings User" group.
