setup_irods.py not created

[Ann-Sophie K.]

After having the [SYS_SOCK_READ_TIMEDOUT] error while using the command 'iinit' I decided to try to reinstall irods. (CentOS8)

Now i can't seem to find the setup_irods.py script/ it was not created.

At first no irods directory was created at all but by removing and reinstalling irods-server and irods-database-plugin-posgres the directory /var/lib/irods/packaging was created but it only has three files in it:

localhost_setup_postgres.input  sql  upgrade-3.3.xto4.0.0.sql

cant find the setup_irods.py with the locate command either.

I'm rather new to working with CentOS so i have a basic understanding of it at best, but the first installation of irods seemed to work fine except for the SYS_SOCK_... Error.

I also did not get the

iRODS Postgres Database Plugin installation was successful.

Message

Any Idea what might have caused the installation to fail?

iRODS does not officially support CentOS 8.

iRODS 4.3.0 supports the following OS:

• CentOS 7
• Ubuntu 18.04
• Ubuntu 20.04
• Debian 11
• Almalinux 8
• Rocky Linux 8

Hope that helps.

Sadly no,

the setup.py is still not created, but i'll try again in a bit and if it still doesn't work i'll be switching to centos7

I do get these two Error messages while trying to reinstall:

yum remove irods-server irods-database-plugin-postgres

bash: /var/lib/irods/packaging/preremove.sh: No such file or directory
error: %preun(irods-server-4.3.0-1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127

Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package irods-server
  Erasing          : irods-externals-nanodbc2.13.0-1-1.0-1.x86_64          3/12
error: irods-server-4.3.0-1.x86_64: erase failed

yum install irods-server irods-database-plugin-postgres

python3: can't open file '/var/lib/irods/scripts/chown_directories_for_postinstall.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
ldconfig: /usr/lib64/llvm14/lib/libclang.so.13 is not a symbolic link

I'm guessing thats where the problem in coming from, any idea what caused it or how to fix it?

Hello Ann,

I see that you have some ’no such file or directory’ messages. Maybe you can check if the /var/lib/irods folder exists? Maybe it has nothing in it? 

So, maybe the reinstall is working on a clean new system?

I haven't seen those errors before.

You can always try compiling from source. Keep in mind that doing that may require touching code.

I recommend switching to a supported OS. Almalinux 8 or Rocky Linux 8 should work fine. I'd avoid CentOS 7 as it is close to EOL.

Thanks,
