VMware Tools Installation

[adam.heavens]

I am trying to demo the upgrade process of a freshly built Centos 5.4 server. I have completed the following structions successfully

# wget http://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/centos2cl
# sh centos2cl
# reboot

However I am unable to configure VMware Tools, even using the following documentation

http://www.cloudlinux.com/knowlege-base/114/#309

I get the following error, can anybody advise the location of the kernal headers?

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

Thanks

Adam, please install kernel-devel package according to your actual kernel. In most cases it can be done by "yum install kernel-devel". If you are running xen guest, kernel-xen-devel should be installed. After it verify that directory /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include is not empty - and it will be found automatically by vmware build script.

Thanks, that resolved the VMware Tools install. However when installing the cPanel hooks I get the following error when running

sh install-lve -a

Rebuilding configuration without any local modifications.

Failed to generate a syntactically correct Apache configuration.

Thanks for your time.

Which version of apache are you running?

2.2 or 1.x?
Also is it in MPM worker, or prefork?

Always helps to read the documentation properly first! I had not compiled Apache with MPM Prefork support. Once compiled the cPanel hooks installed without any issues.

Thanks for your help.
