Installing Plone-4.1.3 on CentOS 6.2

I'm migrating to a new server with CentOS 6.2. Here's how I got it ready for Plone-4.1.3.

Starting with a newly installed CentOS 6.2 box, I ran a "yum update" to get all of the current software for the pre-installed packages.

Install the following packages using yum:

  • make
  • readline-devel
  • patch
  • libjpeg-devel
  • poppler-utils
  • gcc
  • gcc-c++
  • libgsf (This is needed for the "wv" package, mentioned later)
  • lynx
  • openssl-devel (This wasn't needed on my server, but Damien reported that he needed to install it. Thanks Damien)

I used a command like the following one for each package:

#yum install make

As recommended in the Unified Installer docs, I installed the "wv" package. First, I had to install the dependancy: libgsf.  Then I downloaded the package here:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/wv-1.2.7-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

Then I installed "wv" using:

#rpm -Uvh wv-1.2.7-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

Next I followed the instructions for the Plone-4.1.3 Unified Install

Next: Diazo Theme

I had some trouble getting a Diazo theme working with plone.app.theming. Read this article to find out how I got it working.
