Installing LumenVox on CentOS 5

To a CentOS newbie this is really frustrating. Maybe it’s the fault of the dependencies so I won’t place blame anywhere yet.


To install LumenVox on CentOS 5 you’ll need to follow the instructions from LumenVox and do a few more things. This quick list will give you all of those steps in a no-nonsense format. You won’t have to deal with getting stuck with instructions that just don’t work on CentOS 5.




Step 1: Add the YUM repository for LumenVox by creating /etc/yum.repos.d/LumenVox.repo with the following contents:

###################################################
[LumenVox]
name=LumenVox Products $basearch
baseurl=http://www.LumenVox.com/packages/EL5/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
###################################################

Step 2: IMPORTANT! This is 32-bit only. . Download the libjs RPM from DAG by issuing this command: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/js/js-1.60-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm




Step 3: Install the RPM with this command: rpm -i js-1.60-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm




Step 4: IMPORTANT! LumenVox claims there are issues with version 8.6 and CentOS 5. Install all of the LumenVox 8.5 components with this command: yum install LumenVoxCore-8.5.401 LumenVoxClient-8.5.401 LumenVoxSRE-8.5.401 LumenVoxLicenseServer-8.5.401




Now the last thing to do is to start the licensing server and start using LumenVox. Since I’ve had some difficulties getting it running past this point it’ll have to wait for another article…
