NetXMS video tutorial series

[edwin]

hi Tomas,
Totally newbie with linux and trying to get netXMS running on ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
The first video i already stumble. When i get to the part op apt-get search netxms* there are no files found so something is going wrong.
Netxms changed webstructuur but i guess is has to be echo "deb http://packages.netxms.org debian wheezy main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/netxms.list
I do see some notifications like:
Reading package lists... Done
W: The repository 'http://packages.netxms.org debian Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
E: Failed to fetch http://packages.netxms.org/dists/debian/wheezy/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Any help would be great!

If you turn on annotations in the video, it should tell you how to deal with that

[edwin]

damn, I thought I did  ???
Will try that.
Do you also have a video for how to setup the MySQL part on the same box as netXMS?

[tomaskir]

No, but there should be plenty of videos/tutorials on how to setup MySQL on Linux already

[edwin]

i guess i had to turn notification off and on before it showed all notifications. now it is showing more info

no luck. key installed:
root@ubuntu:/home/netxms# wget -q -O - packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
OK

but then;
W: The repository 'http://packages.netxms.org debian Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Please show apt sources.list

[edwin]

would love to, if I know how (really Linux newbie  )
btw this is getting out of hand. perhaps better if moderator moves my part into new thread out of the sticky?

[edwin]

anyone?

[edwin]

some steps in progress. After some digging (for me at least) i found the working command
echo "deb http://packages.netxms.org/debian wheezy main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/netxms.list
wget -q -O - http://packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-cache search netxms*
apt-get install netxms-server
apt-get install netxms-server-mysql => and then an error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree     
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 netxms-server-mysql : Depends: netxms-server (= 1.2.17) but 2.0.5-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

so i noticed the note and tried apt-get install netxms-dbdrv-mysql

Still no luck. Again:

Reading state information... Done

 netxms-dbdrv-mysql : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (>= 5.5.24+dfsg-1) but it is not installable

Clearly something is wrong, but how to fix? Please help

[tomaskir]

'netxms-server-mysql' is the legacy package (for usage with 1.2.x).
You should use the 'netxms-dbdrv-mysql' (as you correctly did for the 2nd try).

As to why 'libmysqlclient18' is not installable on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I dont know.
Alex will probably have to check if there isnt some issues with .deb packaging for 16.04.

I really had my hopes on netXMS but neither the Linux nor the windows versions seems to install 
Linux see above, windows stumbles on sql error. Windows fresh install btw. Got the impression that netXMS is not ment to be for me unless someone could help me out with the Linux installation.

Contact me on Skype at t[dot]kirnak[at]atris[dot]sk and I will help you out.

[edwin]

Hi Tomas. Thanks for offer, send you a pm.

[efiniste]

Did you guys get to the bottom of this? I've just started a thread with exactly the same problem (not sure why this one didn't show up when I did a search) in the installation forum.

Hey Thomas,

Great video work.  I was working towards Zabbix or NetXMS but your video intro on Brothers WISP put me over the line for NetXMS.  We ate those basic videos for breakfast.

Any update on when Advanced may come available, or if it already is?
