Notes on a CentOS 5 install - for your wiki?

[Pthagonal]

Hi all,

Thanks very much for an excellent project. I've been having a go at
installing a CentOS 5 server on EC2 using RightScale scripts. I've
also distilled my scripts into a single list of tasks that should get
someone close to a working install onto a standalone CentOS 5 server.
If you want to turn this into a wiki page, please feel free.

Cheers,

Tony.



My notes now follow:


# activate rpmforge repo

rpm -Uvh $ATTACH_DIR/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

# install ant:

mkdir -p /opt
tar -xzf $ATTACH_DIR/apache-ant-1.7.1-bin.tar.gz -C /opt
mv /opt/apache-ant-1.7.1/ /opt/ant
#create ant.sh to set some environment stuff
cat <<EOF> /etc/profile.d/ant.sh
export ANT_HOME=/opt/ant
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ant/bin
EOF


# install red5:

yum -y install swftools
yum -y install xml-commons-apis
# xml-commons-apis uninstalls jdk, (why?!) so put the latest one back
in:
rpm -Uvh $ATTACH_DIR/jdk-6u7-linux-i586.rpm

#unpack and build 0.6.3
tar -zxf $ATTACH_DIR/red5-0.6.3.tar.gz -C /opt/
