Correct Install Proceedure for Project Gamera

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?

Its nothing special, same idea as the automatic secondary DNS, I just point it at different files.
