If you want to use E.F.A on direct hardware instead of a VM you will need to build E.F.A from a build script.
A bit of Linux (Debian) knowledge is required to get this working.

Currently there is no bootstrap script available so you will need to install Debian 6.0.x (x86) your self with the following settings during installation:

• Create the root user with password: password
• Create the user: efaadmin
• password for user efaadmin: password
• Disk setup (the use of LVM is recommended, below settings are guidelines but are not required a single / could work.):
• - minimum 6GB /
• - minimum 1GB /tmp (set noexec & nosetuid)
• (if you don't want a separate /tmp partition you need to comment the two DPkg: lines in the build script)
• - minimum 12GB /var
• - minimum 20GB /var/spool
• Software installation: SSH Server & Standard system utilities

After the OS is installed and is booted login as root.
Now download and execute the build script: During the installation you will be asked to configure mysql answer these as followed:

• Configure MySQL (1): yes
• Configure MySQL (2): yes

The system will automatically reboot and is ready for configuration (the configure script will automatically be launched when you login as root the first time).

Good luck!

It seems that the database or tables do not exist in mysql for baruwa.

This will most likely be because you did not use the password 'password or made a typo in one of the usernames or passwords.

I can confirm this as I made the same mistake.

Do you recommend the amd64 or i386 version of Debian or does it not matter?

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

Currently all is build on x86, never tested on amd64.

Good point I will add this to the howto.

d.

I recently installed EFA with SQLgrey and webmin on debian 6.0.6 amd64.

Beside two minor problems (no relation to platform) with exec permissions of a script and an apache2 config everything installs and runs fine.

So no problems on 64bit systems

In addition to my previous post I can add that I have succesfully installed EFA on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (64Bit).

Problems I had where:
- the install script tries to install (mysql)versions that are not in the Ubuntu repo
- rabbitmq had to be reconfigured as mentioned in other posts
- baruwa user/password had to be corrected afterwards
- Apache2, WSGIScriptAlias location corrected in config
- apparmor had to be modified to enable clamav scanning

So despite these minor issues everything works fine now.
