hi there, i just got a 8 license and im trying to configure it on my system. i have a headless linux server with no GUI. i would like xeoma to start when the system boots, then be able to view/configure everything from the webserver. i already configure everything VIA webmin, so it would vbe nice to do xeoma as well. is there a guide for this? i cant even really find a way to get it installed. when i run ./xeoma.app -install -allauto i get the output below.

also, i'd be willing to provide any logs/specs or anything else the devs would need to optimize for CentOS. pretty much full access to my system. (theres nothing but webmin and xeoma on it now)

system specs:
centOS 6 minimal (32bit)
pen 4
1TB hdd
2gb ram


output of: ./xeoma.app -install -allauto

Hello!

We are currently working on porting Xeoma to CentOS. For now, as you can see on our official site, CentOS is not on the list of fully supported operating systems. The issue with CentOs is that Xeoma doesn't auto start under this operating system. We plan to fix it by the next official release (planned for the end of the next week). Please stand by (you may want to subscribe to our new version notifications to not miss when it's done ). We'll be grateful if you could test it once it's done to see if it works for you.

well, i could probably write a bash script to auto launch it. but do you know why i cant just launch it?

also, in the FAQ, ubuntu server is the only OS that specifically says it works on a headless server. could i run it on a headless opensuse server?

What's the output of the command, can you send it to us?

rogerrabbitsclone Wrote:could i run it on a headless opensuse server?

Sure. Please give it a try.

the output is in my original post. i installed opensuse 13.1 minimal and it says "running in foreground" but i can neither access it from the desktop or through the web interface.

As mentioned before, since Xeoma is not yet fully ported under CentOS, it doesn't support auto start. So you'd better try to launch it the ordinary way, without installing to auto start, with

Code: Select All Code

[root@media share]# ./xeoma.app

Does it start this way? If it does, you can use the script to run it with every start of your OS.

If you still get the Failed to open 'libX11' error, you might want to install the library for your CentOS, for example from: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libX11-devel

As a side note, this seems strange since you launch Xeoma with root rights, don't you:

Code: Select All Code

Xeoma: run as superuser failed. Please, try to run this command as superuser (sudo) manually: /share/xeoma.app -instadm wsuc /root/bin/Xeoma/xeoma /usr/local/Xeoma

Have you tried to do as suggested?
