Centos 7 support

[Me.B]

Resumed working on centos 7 install:

First issue install is epel repos used by old installer will fail on 3 packages php-imap / php-mbstring ( required for roundcube/phmyadmin) and php-suhosin.

The old installer will fail as no packages will be installed.

Nigel figured that out and setup using epel 7 Beta.

Epel 7 official repo is already there:

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x...noarch.rpm

yum -ivh epel-release-7-1.noarch.rpm

All services look ok BUT apache is still not working for an unkown reason here.

Should add also new suhosin and compile it manually as we used to.

Notice install won't work with yum install mysql and all related tools as we have here mariaDB instead. Redhat moved off mySQL to mariaDB, will check if it would trigger some path changes here, doesn't see to have impact as mariadb admin tools have the same names.

Apache was working, but I couldn't connect to a machine 4 meters away from me.

[Me.B]

It's the same here looks firewalled. I'm able to grab a page using lynx browser.

I will fix apache and there seem new command lines for firewall not bad at all.

Will fix this not a big issue. will reset my VM to snapshot and reinstall again.

Got it

Installer disable iptables but we have a new firewall here and we should add

service firewalld stop
chkconfig firewalld stop...

That's it and now I can see my little big apache working fine on remote machines it was obvious firewall was there Nigel.

Some warning to fix... same in ubuntu.

Still checking to get apache working fine...

LoadModule suexec_module modules/mod_suexec.so

SuExec is enabled by default that's great but we have to disable it currently.

Would be neat to support it.

Error AH01630
fixed
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html

Sentora running currently on centos 7... Need to review the security and if there is some bugs here.

We need mainly to change apache hook to support 2.4 over
Require all granted

That will replace

Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

Those cause an issue here.

5050 already had to handle it in ubuntu and same patched the hook manually using:
sed -i 's|Order allow,deny|Require all granted|I' /etc/zpanel/panel/modules/apache_admin/hooks/OnDaemonRun.hook.php
sed -i '/Allow from all/d' /etc/zpanel/panel/modules/apache_admin/hooks/OnDaemonRun.hook.php

That should do the trick but then need to be applied after each update. We need to patch the apache hook.

Beta testers? Guinea pigs?

Notice installer is slow when cloning despite my dsl.

Better we set using the tagged release

https://github.com/sentora/sentora-core/.../1.0.0.zip ( wget & extract ).

We could later allow either beta ( latest ) or last-stable in advanced mode...

Fixed os test and will focus on major release instead of only testing 6.5 .6.4 6.3 6.2 or 7.1 later... will test 6 & 7 then go.

Must add instructions for centos 6 mysql || centos 7 mariadb would be fine & test back on centos 6.x

6.x and 7.x support focus on major release test.

Code:

# Ensure the installer is launched and can only be launched on CentOs 6.x/ centos 7.x Supported
BITS=$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_//;s/i[3-6]86/32/')
if [ -f /etc/centos-release ]; then
 OS="CentOs"
 VERFULL=$(cat /etc/centos-release | sed 's/^.*release //;s/ (Fin.*$//')
 VER=${VERFULL:0:1}
else
 OS=$(uname -s)
 VER=$(uname -r);
fi
echo "Detected : $OS  $VER  $BITS"

#warning

the last version of centos and 6.x
if [[ "$OS" = "CentOs" ]] && ( [[ "$VER" = "6" ]] || [[ "$VER" = "7" ]] ) ; then
echo "Ok."
if "$VER"== "7"; then
dbserver="mariadb"
fi

else
 echo "Sorry, this installer only supports the installation of Sentora on CentOS 6.x./7.x"
 exit 1;
fi

added 3 variables:

Code:

panelpath="/etc/zpanel"
paneldata="/var/zpanel"
dbserver="mysql"

I've tried checking for Version 7 and it just throws me an error.

I tried ALL available variables.

[Me.B]

I made the fix in the code Nigel.

It works for me and I can detect 7.0 or only 7. As centos os release have now a longer number 7.0.xxx so I used to select first 3 characters or first to do the trick.
