- All the installation process has been done under CentOS 6 x86_64 – so some points are specific for this OS/architecture !!

* Installation el6 rpmforge packages instead of using the “el5″ ones described in the guide. Steps:

1. Download the rpmforge-release package. Choose one of the two links below, selecting to match your host’s architecture. If you are unsure of which one to use you can check your architecture with the command uname -i

– i686: > wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
– x86_64: > wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

2. Install DAG’s GPG key

> rpm –import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

3. If you get an error message like the following the key has already been imported:

error: http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt: key 1 import failed.

4. Verify the package you have downloaded

> rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm

5. Install the package

> rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm

* Download ImageMagick manually because the wget link was broken. Link: https://launchpad.net/imagemagick/main/6.7.0-2

* Install extra libraries if Nokogiri gem installation fails:

> sudo yum install -y gcc ruby-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel

* > bundle exec rake gems:install -> No such file or directory – /home/git/gitorious/config/gitorious.yml

> cd /home/git/gitorious/config
> cp gitorious.sample.yml gitorious.yml

* Problems running “bundle exec rake gems:install” command:

a) If Password = No error -> config/database.yml // set password with the one created for Mysql
b) Create Gitorious DB:

> mysql -uroot –p’’
> create database gitorious;
create database gitorious_test;
create database gitorious_dev;
CREATE user ‘git’@'localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ”;
GRANT ALL ON gitorious.* TO ‘git’@'localhost’;
GRANT ALL ON gitorious_test.* TO ‘git’@'localhost’;
GRANT ALL ON gitorious_dev.* TO ‘git’@'localhost’;
FLUSH privileges;
> exit;

* Starting stompserver:Failure

> gem install stompserver (from /home/git/gitorious dir)

* Problems starting httpd service. Modify the apache config file (httpd.conf):

> Comment the LoadModule’s that gives error
> Search for the “mod_passenger.so” library and change the path of it to the right one in the
a) LoadModule passenger_module
b) PassengerRoot

* Install aspell-0.60 if is missing:

> yum install aspell

Hope that will help someone in the future!

I tried to follow the above steps but no joy. The first line should have been:

/sbin/mount -uw / (as its says so on the screen)
after hitting enter i get a new line “Root#”
I then put in the line about ‘passwd but after hitting enter i get ‘sytax error on line……’

Any ideas?

i had changed passward policy
