Scalr 4.5 Install Notes For Cento 6.4
Last year we published an article on installing the open-source version of Scalr: http://blogs.reliablepenguin.com/2013/08/29/scalr-install-notes Now there’s a new 4.5 release of Scalr available so it’s time for an update. We’re installing on Cento 6.4 hosted on a RackSpace Performance 1 Cloud Server. The installation instructions have improved since the last time around but Scalr is till a complex install: https://scalr-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/display/docs/Installing+Scalr+4.5 Follow these instructions one section at a time and make sure you’ve got the section complete and working before moving to the next section. We’ve provided notes below about each section. Before you start, select a hostname for the server and add a DNS A record. For this article we’ll use:
|
1 |
scalr.domain.com |
You’ll have problems later on if you don’t get the hostname setup in advance. Also I like to add some swap to the server:
|
1 2 3 4 |
dd if=/dev/zero of=/1GB.swap bs=1M count=1024 mkswap /1GB.swap swapon /1GB.swap echo "/1GB.swap none swap sw 0 0" >>/etc/fstab |
Create UNIX Users and Group for Scalr I setup a script at /root/env.sh
