Server Install on Fedora Core 6

These instructions might work on CentOS. If it does, let us know.

1. Download and un-tar the ZipTie Server tar file.
2. Create a 'ziptie' user that the server will execute as: useradd ziptie
3. Change file system ownership of the installation directory to ziptie user: chown -R ziptie:ziptie ziptie-server
4. Install required Subversion library dependencies:
   • i386:
     • http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/9/i386/subversion-1.4.6-7.i386.html
     • http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/9/i386/subversion-javahl-1.4.6-7.i386.html
   • x86_64:
     • http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/x86_64/subversion-1.4.3-4.x86_64.html
     • http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/x86_64/subversion-javahl-1.4.3-4.x86_64.html
5. Install required Perl modules (as root or via sudo). Use the perlcheck.pl file in the ziptie-server directory to show you what's missing: perl perlcheck.pl
6. Make sure you don't have another server running on port 8080. If you do, see the FAQ about changing ports.
7. Create the following symbolic links:
   • /etc/init.d/ztserver → /usr/local/ziptie-server/ztserver
   • /etc/rc3.d/S99ztserver → ../init.d/ztserver
   • /etc/rc3.d/K01ztserver → ../init.d/ztserver
   • /etc/rc5.d/S99ztserver → ../init.d/ztserver
   • /etc/rc5.d/K01ztserver → ../init.d/ztserver
8. Start the server using: /sbin/service ztserver start
