yum installation on secureplatform

versions

this guide was written for SPLAT, I think the version was...

splat(75.40) glibc = glibc-2.3.2-95.34cp

Gaia has a newer glibc and will need a different set of RPS from 5.1 centos (i think) to get the same objective done.

gaia77.30 glibc = glibc-2.5-18.1.cp738000011

Installing yum

Command log / list of my successful yum installation on SecurePlatform. It was truly an "rpm hell" experience to determine the required list of rpms and dependencies below. But, that is why I was installing yum... so that I only have to wade through RPM hell one time. If I ever do it again I can clean this command list up, change the order, and eliminate some of the errors.

installed this library, from a centos 3.8 installation (I think)

configuring yum

I don't have the specific details here. You can we search how to setup yum to work with a particular repository. Here is a link to an old one that is still online...

http://mirror.hmc.edu/centos/3.8/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

Installing software

Here is my living proof I made yum work on splat...

lets start that apache up shall we?

[Expert@ckkpmgr]# /etc/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.1.100 for ServerName
                                                          [  OK  ]

I can't believe it is running, let me check...

[Expert@ckkpmgr]# netstat -anp | grep httpd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      20186/httpd  

yep, it is really running

[Expert@ckkpmgr]# wget http://192.168.1.100/index.html

did I just get a file from my Check Point http server?

[Expert@ckkpmgr]# cat index.html
<html><body><h 1>It works! localhost</h 1></body></html>

...yes I did!
