Cannot install Linux 3.0 Beta

    I can't seem to get the installation completed on my CentOS 4.5 server.  I've tried running the installer a couple of times, but it just dies at the same place now.

    The last few lines of the display read:
    package lighttpd-1.4.18-1.el4.rf is already installed
    warning: lighttpd-fastcgi-1.4.18-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6
    package lighttpd-fastcgi-1.4.18-1.el4.rf is already installed
    something wrong while installing lighttpd rmp. Please check
    Dimdim preinstall checks not successful. Please check documentation

    I have double-checked and these last 2 are installed:
    [root@ces dimdiminstalltemp]# rpm -q lighttpd
    lighttpd-1.4.18-1.el4.rf
    [root@ces dimdiminstalltemp]# rpm -q lighttpd-fastcgi
    lighttpd-fastcgi-1.4.18-1.el4.rf

    Looking at the end of the log file, I see this:
    Wed Nov 28 13:24:05 2007
    Checking lighttp version
            Inside lighttpd function - version required 1.4.18
            Downloading from the repositroy for lighttpd
            Downloading from the repostiory complete
            One package for lighttpd install is available for install
            Both lighttpd rpm packages are available for install
            Installing the downloaded lighttpd rpm packages
            One of the downloaded package is not proper for lighttpd
                    Check failed in lighttpd

    Any ideas?  I can't seem to figure out what's going on here...

    TIA

      Hi,

      Thanks for reporting this. We are trying to reproduce this in our test lab. Would it be possible for you to try the following and let us know the output?

      1. Check if the dimdim's custom database is available under location /usr/local/dimdim/db/.dimdim
      2. Had you tried the installer script more than once?
      3. Do you have a lighttpd installed in default database? (Like installing lighttpd using yum)
      4. Can you try lighttpd -version
      5. From /usr/lib, try "ls -al | grep lighttpd"

      Regards,
      -Rajesh

      Hi Rajesh,

      Thanks for the reply.  Here are the answers to your questions:

      1. Here is what I have in that directory:
      [root@ces dimdiminstalltemp]# ls -al /usr/local/dimdim/db/.dimdim
      total 9336
      drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    4096 Nov 28 12:51 .

      -rw-r--r--  1 root root   12288 Nov 28 12:56 Triggername

      2. Yes, I've probably run the installer script about 4 or 5 times now.

      3. I'm not sure I understand this question exactly.  I can say that I did not install lighttpd on my own, so I assume it was installed during the installation of dimdim.

      4. Here is the output:
      [root@ces dimdiminstalltemp]# /usr/sbin/lighttpd -version
      lighttpd-1.4.18 (ssl) - a light and fast webserver
      Build-Date: Oct  1 2007 23:57:30

      5. Here is the output:
      [root@ces lib]# ls -al | grep lighttpd
      lrwxrwxrwx    1 root root          46 Nov 28 12:56 lighttpd -> /usr/local/dimdim/ThirdPartyInstalls/lighttpd/

      Thanks again for your help!
