Virtual server monitor:Installation/Installing from the sources
From Revolution Linux OpenSource projects
The sources are available as a download from SourceForge.
Backend
The backend should be installed on hosts only (i.e. it is not needed to install a backend for each vserver; only for the vservers' host).
1- Install all backend's dependencies as listed at the top of this page (python packages can usually be installed with python setup.py install as root).
2- Install the backend :
tar jxvf vsmon-0.5.1.tar.bz2 cd vsmon-0.5.1/backend python setup.py install
3- Configure the backend (edit /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/vsmon/backend/settings.py)
Frontend
The frontend should be installed in it's own vserver.
1- Install all frontend's dependencies as listed at the top of this page (python packages can usually be installed with python setup.py install as root).
2- Install the frontend :
tar jxvf vsmon-0.5.1.tar.bz2 cd vsmon-0.5,1/frontend python setup.py install ln -s /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media /var/www/html/ ln -s /usr/share/vsmon/frontend/site-media /var/www/html/
3- Install the database (see instructions for Mandriva) and configure the frontend (edit /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/vsmon/settings.py)
4- Start apache and browse to the server vsmon was installed on.
