Install on Xen with centos-5.1 fails

[cmdln]

I am getting errors trying to install on a clean centos-5.1 install inside a Xen domU.

Creating directory installd
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing cplyr1-cPanelExtraction failed.
.Terminated

Any ideas?

Make sure SELinux is disabled.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux & set SELINUX=disabled then reboot

[cmdln]

I do not have /etc/sysconfig/selinux

Hi,

Do you have /etc/selinux/ ?
You can disable it in the conf i think.
or
run as root
system-config-securitylevel and disable it there.

[cmdln]

I had to install system-config-securitylevel with yum. SELINUX was walready disabled when I ran it. It also installed openldap which according to the docs needs to be uninstalled for cpanel to install correctly.
At any rate .... same error.

[cmdln]

Any more ideas?

Try this on the command line:

wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest
sh latest --noexec

The above downloads the newest version of the installer and de-compresses it. If that works then do the following to begin the install:

./installd/bootstrap

If the de-compression still fails, please open a complimentary support ticket at https://tickets.cpanel.net/submit/

Mark the ticket ATTN: QA Installer issue on Xen

and we will gladly examine the system to determine why it is not progressing.

Hi, as per your request I have submitted a ticket and will await your response.

[cmdln]

This is what I ended up doing
cPanel WHM inside Xen Centos5.1 DomU

Hi,

Thanks, i forgot to run the base install in the VPS, which also caused the problem.

I just had this problem myself. If it's any help, as hinted at in cmdln's post, all I ended up having to do was "yum install tar". The cPanel install file then uncompressed without an error, although I did then have to "yum install perl" to get it running

I have this issue too.
Is it resolved?!

Hello,

You need to run the base install in order to install a number of files that cPanel will require, yum groupinstall base
