Greetings all,

I just finishing installing zenoss and i can't get it to start, it says that i have to use the zenoss user - once i change to zenoss user i proceed to start it up and i got the following:

bash-3.2$ /etc/init.d/zenoss start
Password:

Looking at the logs under /var/log/secure

Sep 25 11:38:44 xxxxxxxx su: pam_krb5[5908]: authentication fails for 'zenoss' ( mailto:***@xxxxx.COM ***@xxxxx.COM): User not known to the underlying authentication module (Client not found in Kerberos database)

So this is one of the reasons if i try to start it from the zenoss user - so i think i need to make it authenticate using local account - how do i do that?


Now, if i try to start it from root i got the following:

ZENHOME not set. You must run this script as the zenoss user.
su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/zenoss: No such file or directory
ZENHOME not set. You must run this script as the zenoss user.
Checking RRDtool version >= 1.4.7: [ OK ] 1.4.7
which: no rabbitmqctl in (/usr/local/zenoss/bin:/usr/local/zenoss/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin)
Unable to find rabbitmqctl. Please refer to the installation
guide for instructions on configuring RabbitMQ.
Usage: zeneventserver-create-db [options]


zeneventserver-create-db: error: option --dbport: invalid integer value

Please advice.

thanks.

That's an underlying linux authentication issue - it looks like you're trying to use kerberos auth - do you have a zenoss user in your kerberos database? You probably need to configure pam to use type 'files' in addition to kerberos to use a local user.

Are you familar with Linux or know someone who is for the underlying OS configuration?
