Catalyst::Manual::Installation::CentOS4 - Catalyst Installation on CentOS 4


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This document provides directions on how to install CentOS 4 (a rebuild
of RedHat Enterprise 4) and then install Catalyst.

If you already have a functioning install of CentOS, RHEL, or a
comparable Linux OS, you should be able to skip this first section and
go straight to the C<INSTALL CATALYST> section.

B<NOTE:> You might want to consult the latest version of this document.  It
is available at:
L<http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/trunk/Catalyst-Runtime/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Installation/CentOS4.pod>


=head1 INSTALL CENTOS

These directions are written for CentOS 4.3 on an i386 machine; however,
you can substitute other versions as they become available.


=over 4

=item * 

Go to L<http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/isos/i386/> and click the
nearest mirror.

=item * 

Download C<CentOS-4.3-i386-bin1of4.iso> (you only need the first disk).

=item * 

Burn the .iso to CD.

=item * 

Insert the CD into your machine and power it up.

=item * 

Hit C<Enter> at the C<boot:> prompt.

=item * 

CD media test: you can either select C<OK> or C<Skip> depending on
whether or not you trust your burn.

=item * 

The installation GUI should start.  Click next at the "Welcome to
CentOS-4" screen.

=item * 

Select a language and click C<Next>.

=item * 

Select a keyboard configuration and click C<Next>.

=item * 

Select C<Custom> for the installation type and click C<Next>.

=item * 

Leave C<Automatically partition> selected on the C<Disk Partitioning
Setup> and click C<Next>.

=item * 

Uncheck C<Review (and modify if needed) the partitions created>, but
leave the rest of the default settings on the C<Automatic Partitioning>
screen.  Then click C<Next>.

=item * 

Click C<Yes> at the C<Are you sure you want to do this?> warning.

=item * 

Click C<Next> on the C<Boot Loader Configuration> screen.

=item * 

Update the C<Network Configuration> screen as necessary and click C<Next>.

=item * 

Check C<Remote Login (SSH)> and click C<Next> on the C<Firewall
Configuration> screen.

=item * 

Select additional languages as necessary.  Click C<Next>.

=item * 

Select the appropriate time zone and click C<Next>.

=item * 

Enter a root password and click C<Next>.

=item * 

Scroll to the bottom of the C<Package Group Selection> screen and check
C<Minimal> (the last option).  Click C<Next>.

=item * 

Click C<Next> at the C<About to Install> screen.

=item * 

The installation will prepare the hard drive and then install the
required rpm packages.

=item * 

Once the installation completes, remove the CD and click C<Reboot>.

=item * 

Type C<vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables> and add the following line as the
third to last line of the file (I<above> the C<-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j
REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited> line):

    -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 3000 -j ACCEPT

This will allow Catalyst to make use of port 3000 (the default for the
development server).

Type C<service iptables restart> to restart the iptables firewall using
the updated configuration.

=item * 

Type C<yum -y update> to retrieve the latest patches.

=back


=head1 INSTALL CATALYST

=over 4

=item * 

Type C<yum -y install gcc expat-devel sqlite3> to install several
packages used by Catalyst.

=item * 

Type the following:

    $ perl -MCPAN -e shell
    
    ...
    
    Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes] n
    
    ...
    
    cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7601)
    ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN')
        
    cpan> force install Module::Build
    
    ...
    
    cpan> quit

=item *

B<Optional:> The remaining steps of the installation could run 
significantly faster if you configure a fast mirror that uses HTTP vs. 
FTP (both transfer data at the same rate once the transfer is in 
progress, but HTTP connects much more quickly... and a Catalyst 
installation involves many connections).  One way to do this is to 
answer C<yes> to the C<Are you ready for manual configuration?> prompt 
when you ran C<perl -MCPAN -e shell> above.  Or, you can rerun the 
script by entering the following command at the C<cpanE<gt>> prompt:

    cpan> o conf init

It will then take you through the configuration dialog.  

However, it's often easiest to manually edit the C<urllist> setting in 
the CPAN configuration file (global configuration settings are located 
in C</usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Config.pm> with per-user override 
settings optionally specified in C<~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm>).  For 
example, open C</usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Config.pm> in your editor and 
update the C<urllist> entry (do not change or delete the other 
settings):

    $CPAN::Config = {
      ...
      'urllist' => [q[http://www.perl.com/CPAN/]],
      ...
    };
    1;
    __END__

Where C<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/> is replaced by a nearby, HTTP-based 
mirror.  You can get a list of all mirrors (including where they are 
located, their bandwidth, and their update frequency) at 
L<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY>.

=item * 

Type C<wget http://www.shadowcatsystems.co.uk/static/cat-install> to
retrieve a copy of the C<cat-install> script.

=item * 

Type C<vi cat-install> to open the installer script, then insert the
following lines at the bottom of the file (after the
C<install('Catalyst');> line):

    install('Catalyst::Devel');
    install('ExtUtils::ParseXS');
    install('Digest::SHA1');
    install('Digest::SHA');
    install('Class::DBI');
    install('DBIx::Class');
    install('DBIx::Class::HTMLWidget');
    install('Module::Install');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::Session');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::FastMmap');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::Roles');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIC');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::DefaultEnd');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::StackTrace');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::Dumper');
    install('Catalyst::Plugin::HTML::Widget');
    install('Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema');
    install('Catalyst::View::TT');
    install('Test::WWW::Mechanize');
    install('Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst');
    install('Test::Pod');
    install('Test::Pod::Coverage');

=item * 

Type C<perl cat-install>.  It will take a while to complete.

=back

You should now have a functioning Catalyst installation with the modules
and plugins required to run the Catalyst tutorial.


=head1 TESTING THE INSTALLATION

=over 4

=item *

Download the tarball of the final tutorial application:

    $ wget http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/trunk/examples/Tutorial/Final_Tarball/MyApp.tgz

=item *

Untar it:

    $ tar zxvf MyApp.tgz
    $ cd MyApp

=item *

Run the tests:

    $ CATALYST_DEBUG=0 prove --lib lib  t
    t/02pod...............skipped
            all skipped: set TEST_POD to enable this test
    t/03podcoverage.......skipped

    All tests successful, 2 tests skipped.
    Files=6, Tests=55, 11 wallclock secs ( 4.68 cusr +  4.84 csys =  9.52 CPU)

You should see C<All tests successful>.
