NEW LENNY AND ETCH INSTALLERS

[Operations2]

As you already know we are close to finish a complete new code for a new GNUPanel version.
Meanwhile we have these new installers to be used with Debian etch AND lenny!

These are the latest packages:

http://www.gnupanel.org/descarga/gnupanel_etch_0.2.3_R11.tar.bz2

http://www.gnupanel.org/descarga/gnupanel_lenny_0.2.3_R12.tar.bz2

=============================================

A SHOT GUIDE FOR BOTH VERSIONS

Our recomendation is to install on a fresh system, remember that the configuration files for the programs used by GNUPanel are overwritten.

The sources.list should be like these including the "volatile" repositories:

Debian etch
***********
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main contrib non-free
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main contrib non-free


Debian lenny
************
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib non-free
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib non-free


NOTE: The "non-free" repositories will not be included in the new version.

Link to the public key for volatile etch repository:

http://www.debian.org/volatile/


lenny has included the volatile repository.


After a minimal Debian installation please be sure to have installed "locales" and "locales-all" packages, then:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

and choose to generate all locales setting "en_US" as default

(should work with any other but we have been testing with this)


Now ...

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade

mkdir /directorio

tar -xjvf fichero.tar.bz2 -C /directorio

cd /directorio

./install-debian-dep.sh

./gnupanel-install.sh

gnupanel-config.sh


This installer do not ask for database passwords because they are randomly generated with pwgen, the same for Mailman.

Once finish you will find the admin interface here:

Installer details
*****************

- This installer has 2 logs files, one for the standard output and the other for the error output:

/var/log/gnupanel-install.log
/var/log/gnupanel-install.err

- Some variables are added to /etc/sysctl.conf

- /etc/security/limits.conf is overwritten with an optimal configuration for GNUPanel

- /etc/hosts is overwritten too

If you have some settings in these files please make a backup!

Lenny installer is tested, etch installer is not but should work ok.


NOTE 2: These installers are not published in gnupanel.org, the website will be updated with the new version in about 50-60 days.


Enjoy!
