Hello,
How can I install munin on Centos 4.7?
I had found this link:
http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13317

but I am getting errors:

Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Net::SNMP) is needed by package munin-node
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(RRDs) is needed by package munin
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Net::Server::Fork) is needed by package munin-node

any help?
Thanks

you don't have listed packages instaled, but they are required by munin. Install them before trying installing munin.

where can I get them?

knudfl · 05-27-2009, 07:41 AM

Getting it : something like this ......

# yum search perl-net-snmp perl-net-server perl-html-template perl-rrd

# yum install perl-Net-SNMP perl-Net-Server perl-HTML-Template \
perl-Log-Log4perl-RRDs perl-RRD-Simple

... and the remaining packages with the "perl cpan shell" :

# cpan
> cpan install Net::Server::Fork Log::Log4perl::Appender::RRDs \
RRD::Treshold RRD::Query

knudfl: you were faster

i was trying but an error also occurred.
I had tried to start with the basic:
yum install mod_perl (since munin need the perl package)
when I run the above command,
i get the following error:

Error: Missing Dependency: httpd-mmn = 20020903 is needed by package mod_perl
Error: Missing Dependency: httpd >= 2.0.40 is needed by package mod_perl

I had tried:
yum search httpd-mmn but nothing found

what shall I do?

should I edit the repository?

Thanks

The very first to do : Update 'httpd'.

# yum install httpd

..... and the latest version for Centos 4.7 will be installed.

*** 'httpd-mmn = 20020903' should be in package httpd.

And then may be 'mod_perl' can be installed ?

alsharifhoussam · 05-27-2009, 03:19 PM

when I type:

yum install httpd

no package found ;(

why?

knudfl · 05-28-2009, 07:14 AM

1) first command :
'su' .... and then please type password

2) # 'yum search <almost-correct-package-name--or-part-of-it>'
... to check availability and spelling.

'httpd' should be in the repo ... and on the install DVD.
.....
3) # 'yum install httpd'
.....
.....
Did you use # 'yum search' for the perl packages,
and did you install everything mentioned ? ?
.....

alsharifhoussam · 05-28-2009, 07:30 AM

I am root.
yum install httpd
the result is: NO packages found

when I run
yum search <the package name> required by perl, no package found

knudfl · 05-28-2009, 07:55 AM

So # 'yum search perl-net-snmp perl-net-server \
perl-html-template perl-rrd' gives no result ? ? ?

Then you probable have no 'repo's set up ??
Please do ' cat /etc/yum.repos.d/* '

Should look almost like this from CentOS 5.x
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ghlight=centos
Please read the files attached to post # 2 and 3.

alsharifhoussam · 05-28-2009, 08:02 AM

when I go:

yum search perl-net-snmp perl-net-server perl-html-template perl-rrd

no matches found

when I go to the /etc/yum.repos.d/
I had CentOS-Base.repo
CentOS-Media.repo
epel.repo
epel-testing.repo
mirrors-rpmforge
kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo
rpmforge.repo

When doing # yum search <package>, the start should look like

Code:

# yum search httpd

extras ............

If not, the lines in your repo files could be commented out.
No lines to be used, should start with a hash mark. ( # ).
Hence the suggestion to use 'cat <files>'

Also have a look in 'Add/Remove Software' (The package manager)
where you can enable repo's.

Have a look in /etc/yum.conf

If you have a line with
exclude=*
or
exclude=httpd* perl*
then you wont be able to get it with yum.

Suggest : edit 'yum.conf'
