Problem during oreon setup

[Thoorleif]

Hello

This is the first time i am setting up Oreon. We are running Red Hat, RHEL3 server with Apache2, Nagios 2.x, PHP 5.x, and mySQL 4.x, this software is installed under /usr/local/<correct folder>.

First question:
What could be the problem when i get this error message?

Component Status
Configuration file
Warning: fopen(../oreon.conf.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/local/oreon/www/install/setup.php on line 728 CRITICAL
oreon.conf.php Can't open file

It ask for the file oreon.conf.php but that file dosent eaven exist. Only file I can find is installoreon.conf.php

Second question:
So when i install Oreon should i first create a folder called oreon like this /usr/local/oreon or could i just unpack the tar.gz anywhere and run install.sh and it copy the needed files into /usr/local/oreon?

Third question:
Becuse Apache 2 is installed by compiling it its config file is located at /usr/local/apache/conf/apache.conf not at /etc/httpd/conf or /etc/httpd/conf.d can i just copy the "directory instructions" from oreon.conf and put em in the correct apache.conf file?

Is there anyone who made a more comprehensive install instruction? In that case i would be really greatful

your apache user don't have right to write in /usr/local/oreon/www/

I'm having the same issue with oreon.conf.php.

I searched my machine and the file doesn't exist. I checked the apache users rights to the /oreon/www/ and it has write permissions.

**EDIT I should clarify, I get the error on Step 9. - Creating Database. "Configuraion file status= critical

oreon.conf.php status=can't open file.

[wistof]

oreon.conf.php is created during step 9

[LoPo]

Not sure what to do then...

the apache user and group that the apache user belongs to both have read/write/execute permissions to the /www/ folder.

Suggestions?

PHP5 ?

[LoPo]

PHP 4.something

I'm a nix n00b. I created a phpinfo() .php file, but I didn't see anything for version info. I tried phpversion() also, no dice.


Are you suggesting to install PHP5?


Thanks,
John

Ok, I'm an idiot, it was right in the top title:
PHP Version 4.3.9

[LoPo]

I granted Owner,group, and others all read/write/execute permissions for testing to see if it resolved my problem. No go.

Suggestions?

Lopo can you do a ls -l of your oreon dir and post it?

[LoPo]

[[email protected] ~]# ls -l /usr/local/oreon/
total 48
drwxrwxr-x 5 apache apache 4096 May 5 12:00 filesGeneration
drwxrwxr-x 5 apache apache 4096 May 5 12:00 filesUpload
drwxrwxr-x 7 apache apache 4096 May 5 12:00 GPL_LIB
drwxrwxr-x 2 apache apache 4096 May 5 12:00 log
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagcmd 4096 May 5 12:00 rrd
drwxrwxr-x 11 apache apache 4096 May 16 16:26 www


I've also included two screen shots of steps 4 & 9. Step 4 says everything is good to go and in step 9 it states the failure.

Thanks.

Is there a oreon.conf.php file in the www directory?

[LoPo]

Nope.

[sgrynd]

You could try to blow it wide open chmod 777 on the dir and see if that works or have you tried that?

[LoPo]

Tried that too.


I confused.

If it creates/writes this file during step 9 and fails, why is it confirming that the location is 'OK' in step 4??
