Has anyone managed to install Razuna on Red Hat 7?

Razuna v2 Legacy Self-Hosted
1

Hi Community,

I have been given the task of deploying Razuna on a Red Hat Enterprise version 7.2 server. Has anyone achieved this? Or have any idea as to whether it is possible?

If it is possible, could anyone provide a guide or any help? I have attempted to install all of the prerequisites but having trouble with a few of them.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Our Wiki, on installing on Linux covers RH systems. Also, there is a
dedicated page for installing ffmpeg. If you have something to add or
change let us know and we will update.

I have followed these guides but unfortunately I was unable to get Razuna working. The guide says that Razuna has currently been tested up to Red Hat 6 which I why I was curious to see whether anyone has achieved installation on Red Hat 7.

Regards,

You followed the Linux guide and are not able to install Razuna? What is
not working? Also, for ffmpeg I can’t imagine that RH7 is such a difference
to RH6 in installing a third party library.

I must admit, I do not have much experience with Linux, I’m only learning but from what I am seeing some of the prerequisites do not seem to be in their depositories. For example, for the ffmpeg installation, yum install libdc1394 libdc1394-devel does not work for me. Also Ghostscript and exiftool are a little bit trickier to install but I think that I managed it eventually.

Hi s-isa ,

Please check this guide for your ffmpeg compilation : https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Thanks for your help Huy!! I managed to get FFMPEG installed fine. I installed Razuna and run startup.sh. I get a message saying tomcat started but I cannot see the process or connect to the web server.

I have Java working, the prerequisites are there, the variables are in place but when I start Tomcat I can’t access the web server. I tried http://ipaddress:8080 but I get nothing. Is there anything else that I could check?

Make sure that you have Java 8 installed and loom into the catalina.out log
for issues. Most lines in there can be ignored though.

I get the issue below.

My latest error is below. Could my error be down to Java? What version of Java would could be recommended? I’m running Java version 1.8.0_45 currently.

As outlined in the release notes, you need to install Razuna, run the first
time wizard and it will automatically connect to the new search server. If
it cannot connect, you can go into the Razuna Administration and under
index set up the connection. Once the connection is established this error
will go away.

I can’t even reach the first time installer. Is there a way to install from command line?

Then your installation is messed up. As previously mentioned, if the web
app doesn’t even start you have other issues with your machine.

This is about as much as we can help, as it is clearly not a Razuna
(application) issue.
