The installation instructions of SME Server functionality are based on minimal installation of Scientific Linux 6.3 64-bit and SME Server 9.0alpha1 repository. Please use a virtual environment to test your results. Virtual environments may include e.g. VirtualBox (free), VMWare, KVM or Xen.
The installation instructions of SME Server functionality are based on minimal installation of Scientific Linux 6.5 64-bit and SME Server 9.0 repository. Please use a virtual environment to test your results. Virtual environments may include e.g. VirtualBox (free), VMWare, KVM or Xen.
==== Install SL minimal ====
==== Install SL minimal ====
SME Server functionality is only tested with a minimal install of Scientific Linux. To be able to install 'SL minimal' one must use the DVD install ISO. Other available downloads like the LiveCD etc. do not have the option to install 'SL minimal'.
SME Server functionality is only tested with a minimal install of Scientific Linux. To install 'SL minimal' one can use the boot.iso. A internet connection is required. The URL required for performing a net install must point to the /pub/scientific-linux/6.5/x86_64/os/ diretory of the mirror you use.
You can download the SL DVD install CD from either [http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.3/x86_64/iso/SL-63-x86_64-2012-08-02-Install-DVD.iso here], [http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.3/x86_64/iso/SL-63-x86_64-2012-08-02-Install-DVD.iso here] or [ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.3/x86_64/iso/SL-63-x86_64-2012-08-02-Install-DVD.iso here]. Install SL minimal in your virtual environment which should have at least:
You can download the SL boot.iso from one of the many scientific mirrors. Install SL minimal in your virtual environment which should have at least:
* 1Gb RAM memory
* 1Gb RAM memory
Boot the boot.iso and follow instruction. Once the graphical installer starts, select 'minimal' and leave all other options as per their defaults.
Once the installation has finished, please reboot and continue with enabling networking and SSH.
Once the installation has finished, please reboot and continue with enabling networking and SSH.
==== Enable networking and SSH ====
==== Enable networking and SSH ====
This step may not be required. Please check after login with ifconfig your networking configuration. Otherwise, login as root with the password what was provided at installation time. To enable networking please issue:
ifup eth0
ifup eth0
service sshd start
service sshd start
SSH will now be enabled. Please log in remotely via SSH and further instructions are based on the fact that you are remotely logged. Specifically for Cut and Paste operations.

==== Install nano and wget ====
If you are not familiar with vi or vim, you can install the nano editor. This page assumes that you have installed nano. Please install nano and wget as follows by issuing as root on the console:
yum install nano wget
==== Disable SELinux ====
==== Disable SELinux ====
SELinux is enabled by default. We want to disable it for there are a few services (httpd) that get blocked by SELinux. To check the status of SELinux you can enter the command:
SELinux is enabled by default. We want to disable it for there are a few services (e.g. httpd) that get blocked by SELinux. To check the status of SELinux you can enter the command:
getenforce
getenforce
yum remove selinux-policy-targeted
yum remove selinux-policy-targeted
==== Update SL ====
Now is a good time to update your SL installation with the latest (security) updates:
yum update
==== Yum install ====
==== Add SME Server repo ====
To be able to download the required packages we need to add the SME Server repo:
yum install e-smith\* smeserver\* aspell aspell-en at audit-libs-python autoconf automake bc bind-libs bind-utils cronie cronie-anacron crontabs cyrus-sasl-md5 dhcp dosfstools ed eject elfutils elfutils-libs fetchmail ftp gettext glib gpm hesiod hmaccalc imake iptraf iptstate isdn4k-utils libXdmcp libgomp libselinux-python libsmbclient libsysfs libxml2-python lm_sensors lockdev lsof lvm2 m2crypto man mcstrans minicom mkbootdisk mlocate mod_ssl mtools mt-st mutt neon net-snmp net-snmp-utils openldap-servers patch pcmciautils postgresql-libs pyxf86config rpm-build rp-pppoe setserial strace sudo sysfsutils syslinux tcpdump telnet time tmpwatch traceroute unzip usbutils usermode vim-common vim-enhanced wget wodim xz zip zlib php-pear-Net-URL perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2 perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2 rsync tnef freeradius-ldap --exclude=centos*,smeserver-release --nogpg
nano -w /etc/yum.repos.d/smeos9.repo
and paste the following into it:
==== Yum update ====
[smeos9]
enabled=1
MirrorList=http://mirrorlist.contribs.org/mirrorlist/smeos-9
name=SME Server9 - os
enablegroups=1
gpgcheck=1
includepkgs = e-smith\* smeserver\* *.sme.* clamav* clamd* *dar mod_authnz* mhash tbb perl-* htop proftpd php-pear-* GeoIP mod_auth_tkt radiusclient-ng nut-client nut pyzor oidentd rssh pam_abl clamav par2cmdline DCC wv checkpassword pam pv razor-agents clam-db initscripts checkpassword-pam
Now we can install the required packages from the repo's. The ''includepkgs'' line in the SME Server repo file ensure that '''only''' the required packages for SME Server will come from the SME repo's, and all others from the sl repo's.
yum install e-smith\* smeserver\* *.sme.* initscripts --exclude=smeserver-release*,*86 --nogpg
This will result in the below summary. The numbers may vary depending on the changes in the repositories.
This will result in the following summary. The numbers may vary depending on the changes in the repositories.
Transaction Summary
Install 1 Package(s)
Install 402 Package(s)
Upgrade 39 Package(s)

Total download size: 70 M
Total size: 232 M
After yum is finished and all packages are installed, we can remove the temporary /etc/yum.repos.d/smeos9.repo file:
rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/smeos9.repo

{{note box | Please note that as of this point SME Server functionality is in place and in control. This means that your normal admin tasks have to be adapted to the SME Server principales described in the [[SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual|Administration Manual]].}}

==== Set root password ====
==== Set root password ====
After the first boot, an new root (admin) password will be asked. This may be the same as you used for the initial installation of SL or you can set a new one. After setting the root password, SME Server will configure additional settings and automatically reboot
After the first boot, there is the opportunity to restore from a backup and a new root (admin) password will be asked. This may be the same as you used for the initial installation of SL or you can set a new one. After setting the root password, SME Server will configure additional settings and automatically reboot.
==== Configuration ====
When the system has rebooted, it is ready for SME Server configuration of network and services settings. To start this process, please login as root and type:
console
and select 'configure this server'. After configuration, the server will reboot itself, re-configure itself based on the user choices and is in full operational mode ready for full use.
After the reboot, you can access the server-manager (https://your_ip/server-manager) and login as admin and the root password. In server-manager one can enable ssh and set various ssh options.
==== Adjust yum repositories ====

By default SME Server assumes it has CentOS as base linux system, In this case we use Scientific Linux, so we have to remove the CentOS specific repo's and add the SL repo's.

NOTES:
* The default SME Server repo's are part of sme-base
* The default (CentOS) repo's get re-initialized on yum-update
* so..... with an update of sme-base or a post-install, the repo's turn back to SME defaults
To remove the CentOS specific repo's issue the following commands as root:
To remove the CentOS specific repo's issue the following commands as root:
db yum_repositories delete contrib
db yum_repositories delete contrib
db yum_repositories delete extras
db yum_repositories delete extras
db yum_repositories delete fasttrack
db yum_repositories delete updates
and update the yum repositories db
signal-event yum-modify
Now we need to configure the SME repo's to *only* include SME Specific packages or packages that are not available in the SL repo's, and we need to configure the SL repo's the SME Server way.
