Title: Installation on Linux
Post by: lolita on December 01, 2007, 03:16:20 am
We were trying to install Konakart on Linux. We had JDK 1.6, MySQL 5.0.27 installed and then we tried to execute the silent mode installation.

This was causing the server to crash and we had to restart the server everytime.
Finally we could not install it.

Please let us know if there are any other dependencies or what could be the problem.

Hi,

We install on Linux using the silent mode installation hundreds of times a week so for you to have a "crash" is very unusual. 

Do you have a log of the output of the silent mode installation?

When you say the server "crashes" - what exactly happens?

Have you tried running the GUI-based installer on Linux instead?

Which Linux? (we test mainly on CentOS 5 and Ubuntu)

We have used at least MySQL 5.0.45 and 5.0.22 (so before and after yours).  We use 1.6 as well.

Something very strange going on there;  Linux is not noted for such instabaility.

Hi:

We were installing it on RedHat Linux. Every time we started the installer, it would just hang the system. So we never go the output.

Thanks,

Hi,

We can report this to the InstallJammer people (our installer uses InstallJammer) but it would be helpful if you could tell us more about what happens.   For example, when you start the installer, have you been able to check the process to see if it's spinning at 100%cpu?   Can't you stop the installer process in this state?

Perhaps you could post the results of running the installing under strace ?

With this information, we can go back to the InstallJammer people and see what they have to say.


Something you could try:

Have you got SELinux enabled?   Can you run the installer with SELinux disabled?  Apparently this has caused problems with InstallJammer in the past, although I thought they'd fixed this.
Please let us know if this solves the problem.


Failing that you may have to use the zip install and configure it manually using the FAQs for guidance but I hope you can get the installer working as it's a lot easier  :)
