0. Untar the distribution within a temp directory. It will create a sella_nms-0.3.0
directory. Several examples follow:
For .tar.gz files:
tar xvzf sella_nms-0.3.0.tar.gz
-or-
zcat sella_nms-0.3.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
For .tar.bz2 files:
tar xvIf sella_nms-0.3.0.tar.bz2
-or-
tar xvf sella_nms-0.3.0.tar.bz2 --with-compress-program=bzip2
-or-
bzcat sella_nms-0.3.0.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
1. Run './configure' in the sella_nms directory (you may need extra flags).
cd sella_nms-0.3.0
./configure
2. Run 'make all', then 'make install' as root.
make all
su -c 'make install'
3. Setup sella_nms MySQL database. (Assuming database name of 'sella_nms'.)
mysql -u root -p sella_nms < docs/sella_nms-mysql.sql
4. Open and edit sella_nms.conf. Configure as needed. Most options
are described to the right of the option.
vi /usr/local/sella_nms/etc/sella_nms.conf
-or-
emacs
/usr/local/sella_nms/etc/sella_nms.conf
The options that *must* be changed are the 'prefix' section and
the 'storage' section. The sella_nms.conf file is described in detail
later in this file.
5. Start up the Sella NMS daemon.
cd /usr/local/sella_nms/sbin
./sella_nms
The servers log files (usually /var/log/messages) will contain output from
the daemon. Optionally, the daemon can be started in the foreground for easier
of log messages like so:
./sella_nms -f
6. Edit config.php in the html directory. Setting the database options as needed.
cd /usr/local/sella_nms/html
vi config.php
-or-
emacs config.php
7. Configure web server to serve up Sella NMS Web GUI.
For Apache, set your 'DocumentRoot' and 'DirectoryIndex' within your
httpd.conf as follows:
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/sella_nms/html"
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
This configuration assumes that you have Apache working wi
th PHP already, and
are only using this web server for Sella NMS. Optionally, you could symlink
'/usr/local/sella_nms/html' to your 'htdocs' directory or setup a virtual
server.
8. Test by viewing the Web GUI in your browser.
It may take several minutes for the Web GUI to begin displaying content. The
sella_nms daemon needs to discover your network and begin monitoring it.
