Re: [Users] Trouble building Ovirt from source - "No rule to make target `install_tools'. Stop."

Create the ovirt user (the engine runs by default with this service, unless you change the /etc/syscofig/ovirt-engine file and add the ENGINE_USER and ENGINE_GROUP parameters): useradd ovirt 2. Create (mkdir -p ...) and change the ownership of the directories that the engine needs to own to ovirt:ovirt (chown ovirt:ovirt ...): /etc/ovirt-engine /var/log/ovirt-engine /var/lock/ovirt-engine /var/lib/ovirt-engine/content /var/lib/ovirt-engine/deployments /var/tmp/ovirt-engine /var/cache/ovirt-engine 3. Enable the HTTP connector in the engine (the default is to enable only AJP, and that doesn't work without Apache as frontend) adding the following to the /etc/sysconfig/ovirt-engine file: ENGINE_PROXY_ENABLED=false ENGINE_HTTP_ENABLED=true ENGINE_HTTP_PORT=8700 ENGINE_HTTPS_ENABLED=false ENGINE_AJP_ENABLED=false 4. Configure database connection details (the default in development environments is to use the postgres user and the trust mode) adding this to /etc/sysconfig/ovirt-engine: ENGINE_DB_USER=postgres ENGINE_DB_PASSWORD= 5. Make sure that you have the PostgreSQL JDBC driver installed (rpm -q postgresql-jdbc) and install it if needed (yum install postgresql-jdbc). 6. Now you can start the engine running the engine-service script: engine-service start Look at the system log (the file /var/log/messages) and the engine logs (the files /var/log/ovirt-engine/server.log and /var/log/ovirt-engine) for errors. 7. Connect to http://localhost:8700 and you should be able to login with user admin and letmein! as password. Note that I am assuming that you already created the database, and that you want to use this installation for development. If you are looking for an production installation I suggest using the RPMs. Also I tested this with the latest source from the repository, it will not work with older versions. -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.
