Get CollabNet TeamForge 5.4

Download the packages you need to install and set up CollabNet TeamForge.

  1. Download the software you'll need to install the TeamForge application.
    1. Get the main TeamForge install package from open.collab.net. Copy it to a temporary location, such as /tmp, on the server where TeamForge will run.
    2. If you are installing TeamForge on a server without an Internet connection, ask your CollabNet representative for one of these auxiliary packages and save it in /tmp. This download includes the extra software and utilities you would otherwise be downloading automatically during the install process.

      The exact auxiliary package you will download depends on your operating system:

      Operating system Installer package
      Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 32-bit CTF-Disconnected-media-5.4.0.0-308.el5.i386.rpm
      Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 64-bit CTF-Disconnected-media-5.4.0.0-308.el5.x86_64.rpm
      SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.x 32-bit CTF-Disconnected-media-5.4.0.0-308.sles11.i386.rpm
      SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.x 64-bit CTF-Disconnected-media-5.4.0.0-308.sles11.x86_64.rpm
  2. Unpack the main installation package.
    • rpm -ivh TeamForge-installer-5.4.0.0-308.noarch.rpm
    Tip: To specify the directory where you want the installation package deployed, add the --prefix flag to the rpm command.
    • rpm -ivh TeamForge-installer-5.4.0.0-308.noarch.rpm --prefix /some/other/path
  3. If you are installing TeamForge on a server without an Internet connection, unpack the auxiliary installer package that you downloaded.
    • rpm -ivh <package-name>

    (See the table for the exact package name.)

    1. Insert the installation DVD for the operating system. This will provide some of the necessary software and utilities for installing TeamForge.
    2. Mount the Red Hat (or CentOS) installation DVD.
      Note: On SuSE, you don't need to mount the DVD. Just check that the contents of /etc/zypp/repos.d/SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Server-11-0.repo are appropriate for your installation environment. For example, replace sr0 with the identifier for your server's CD drive, if necessary.
      • umount /media/RHEL_5.3\ i386\ DVD/
      • cd /media/
      • mkdir cdrom
      • mount /dev/cdrom ./cdrom/

      Replace cdrom with the identifier for your server's CD drive, if necessary.

      Tip: If there are any spaces in the automount, unmount it first and mount it as a filepath, with no spaces.
    3. Create a yum configuration file that points to the OS installation DVD contents. For example, if you are using vi:
      • vi /etc/yum.repos.d/cdrom.repo
    4. Copy this into the file you just created:
      [RHEL-CDROM]
      name=RHEL CDRom
      baseurl=file:///media/cdrom/Server/
      gpgfile=file:///media/cdrom/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
      enabled=1
      gpgcheck=0
      Note: On CentOS 5, omit "Server" from the baseurl path, like this: baseurl=file:///media/cdrom/
    5. Check that your configuration files are correct.
      • yum list httpd
      • yum list apr
    Now the yum package manager will look for the standard OS installation components on the DVD and not on the Internet.
The installer is now ready to go. If you used the default path, it is located at /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/5.4.0.0.
