Chapter 4. Installation


This chapter describes the initial installation of the RHN Proxy Server. It presumes the prerequisites listed in Chapter 2, Requirements have been met. However, if you are upgrading to a newer version of RHN Proxy Server, contact your Red Hat representative for assistance.

4.1. Base Install

The RHN Proxy Server is designed to run on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. Therefore, the first phase is to install the base operating system, either from disc, ISO image, or kickstart. During and after operating system installation, make sure you:
  • Allocate sufficient space to the partition that will be used to store packages, according to the hardware requirements set forth earlier. The default location for cached Red Hat packages is /var/spool/squid, while custom packages are located in /var/spool/rhn-proxy.

    Note

    The installation program automatically calcutes the available space on the partition where /var/spool/squid is mounted and allocates up to 60 percent of the free space for RHN Proxy Server use.
  • Install the packages required by RHN Proxy Server.

    Note

    You must install only the base packages, as others will cause the RHN Proxy Server installation to fail.
    Refer to Section 2.1, “Software Requirements” for the method to obtain the correct package group needed for each version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
  • Enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) on the Proxy and select the appropriate time zone. All client systems should already be running the ntpd daemon and be set to the correct time zone.
  • Disable the ipchains and iptables services after installation.
