Re: [Ids-devel] installing from new rpm

[Larry A. <ai...@sp...>]

Piet,
    wow. thanks for the detailed review and explanation.  I  was able to 
get ids installed using your steps and new rpms. This was enormously easier 
than using CPAN the first times I unsuccessfully tried to install ids on RH 
8.0 .

   I want to document a few things for other installers.

  1) the key was installing all rpm's on one command line.
  2) the first time I tried this approach, I got error messages that some 
of the modules were already installed and the rpm -Uvh *.rpm failed.  So I 
deleted the already installed modules with rpm -ev package-name.  Then rpm 
-Uvh *.rpm worked.
  3) I needed to add a "b" to get your step 5 working, as in
      htpasswd -bm /usr/share/ids/admin/.htpasswd admin "your lovely password"

good show!
Larry
