Installing a gLite ApelBox

The ApelBox is installable via yum. The necessary gLite yum repositories are available at http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/glite/repos/3.2. The required repositories are:

 lcg-CA.repo
 glite-APEL.repo

The repository files have to be stored in directory /etc/yum.repos.d/:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/glite/repos/3.2/glite-APEL.repo
wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/glite/repos/3.2/lcg-CA.repo

Installing the packages

Now the gLite software has to be installed.

yum install glite-APEL
yum install lcg-CA

Due to a bug (https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?68636) the fetch-crl package is not included in the configured repositories for gLite APEL. Please install manually fetch-crl that can be downloaded from the following location:

http://glitesoft.cern.ch/EGEE/gLite/R3.2/glite-GENERIC/sl5/x86_64/RPMS.externals/fetch-crl-2.7.0-2.noarch.rpm 

To do so

cd ~
wget http://glitesoft.cern.ch/EGEE/gLite/R3.2/glite-GENERIC/sl5/x86_64/RPMS.externals/fetch-crl-2.7.0-2.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall fetch-crl-2.7.0-2.noarch.rpm

We will use a MySQL database on the ApelNode to store the accounting information. Therefore you need to install the mysql-server package:

yum install mysql-server
