So, when installing ASL you should always use the latest installer to install ASL. Don't download it, run the command that downloads the latest installer and pipes that into a shell. It changes that often so we can keep on top of all the control panels, OSes, vendor forks of third party software (o...

I'm thinking that I can template out /etc/asl/config, install the files via yum, and then kick off asl -s -f to set the box up based on the config (thank you, Notepad++, and your color coding of shell scripts)

I'm still writing the template but I will update how it's going.

I'm trying to reverse engineer the ASL install script and it's a bit confusing because of all the flavors it supports. Is there a list of all the packages and things the installer does? I'm trying to set this up like a normal service (i.e. Apache) and build the config via options set in Chef.

A couple of comments NON_INT did indeed get around the need for a yes/no response. For some reason, however, the installer would simply fail without installing the RPM. Chef creates a strange environment and that may be why. I wound up writing a manual workaround where it grabs the GPG key and the l...

I saw that you guys got the installer working on the Amazon Linux. That was fast! I'm hoping this will be just as fast. I need a -y option for the atomic installer. We're starting to work on using Chef to configure our EC2 instances. Chef is a scripting language so you can automatically configure yo...

Apparently this

Amazon Linux AMI release 2011.09

I am using several EL5 packages from the ART repo without issue so I would assume it's EL5 but the EPEL thing is confusing.

It's hard to tell. It's definitely EL, although the EPEL repo the came with it points to it being rebranded EL6 [epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch failovermethod=priority enabled=1 gpgchec...

So I've been playing more with EC2 lately and I decided to give the stock Amazon Linux a whirl. It's based on EL5 with its own repos which give you most everything (Apache 2.2.21, PHP 5.3.8, etc) but there are still things in Atomic that I would like (mysql 5.5, e-accelerator, atop, etc) so I tried ...

It looks like most, if not all, RPM builds of mysql leave it turned off

1. You can install from source and it will work
2. You could get the srpm and compile yourself

There's a wiki page on Mysql

I've not had any issues with PHP packages and upgrading but definitely heed breun's cautions. If you use stock open source programs (like Wordpress) you shouldn't have any issues.

Hope your child gets well.

If you do both at the same time then you will absolutely break plesk and the whole thing will blow up on you. As another note, this is actually already implemented in the parallels distributed mysql rpms. I had to snip that and do the uncouth thing of quoting for truth. Plesk blowing up is a well d...

So you're testing this with the CLI? And there's two /bin/bash, one is chrooted (at least in mine there is)

I thought Plesk did cron jobs for them under their FTP user

Fixes the gaping hole in 5.3.7

Apparently they're changing how crypt works, which is what broke

Yeah, www6 was timing out and dragging some yum stuff I was doing last night down. Might want to look at it.
