Correct Install Proceedure for Project Gamera

Unread post by randy »

Hi,

I want to install Project Gamera for a primary mail system (I will call it my Gamera Server) that relays to the main server (I will call it Main Server). I figured out I can take my /etc/localdomain files from the Main server and I made a script to copy it to another area on the server, copy it again to rcpthosts (It shoudl be in the proper format for qmail to use then I wrote a small script to append the Main Server :IP to the end domain name and create it as the smtproutes file which I will rsync to the Gamera server via a cron every couple of hours.

From my reading and what I understand this is what the project was created for.

So I do not blow up another system :lol:

I followed the install directions from http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/Jooml ... iew/77/29/

By:

Step 1) Configure yum to use the [atomic] channel.
Step 2) Remove the sendmail package: yum -y remove sendmail
Step 3) Install Project Gamera: yum -y install project-gamera

Before step 4, rebooting I had some problems with qmail not installing. I do not have the exact problem right off hand (Yeah I am a lot of help). I am doing a OS reload now because it got really really ugly :twisted:

This was a new install of CentOS 4.3 when it started and soon became a messed up install of CentOS 4.3

So I guess I am just really asking if the above should do it and I am on the right track. I may have had other issues causing my problem, or do I need to install qmail first etc... I do know the kernel was an older version so that will be taken care of as well.

I will not blow this one up :shock: lol so I will wait for a response before proceeding.

I also am setting up a small VPS so I can test it before going back to the extra server. It is easier to reload the system from Virtuozzo then relaoding a whole system. I will call this my Test Server :-) So I will get it all running on the test server before trying it again on my Gamera server.

All suggestions are apprciated.

Oh, I should mention there are no Control Panels installed on the Gamera Server.

Yes, that is all you need to do to install it, however I should warn you that PG wont work on a vserver without customization.

Define "customization"? I was attempting to run Gamera on a Virtuozzo VPS with CentOS4....

I just posted this in another thread, the short version is that you need to be able to modify init, which you cant normally do on a vserver. Someone managed to hack it in, but I didnt track it on my side. They probably posted it to the forums though

Mind sharing the scripts you use to sync the hosts on the two systems together?
