Had to switch to centos because FC is no longer supported (3.5.0 max) Gotchas: 1) dealing with the database restore was a pita, i found that from several failed attempts setup had created extra engine databases. I had to use engine-clean to wipe as much as possible, then manually delete all the engine-* and engine databases, then do engine-setup to create a new database, grep the config for the db password, engine-clean to wipe everything (removes all data but leaves empty database) then do a restore using the password from the grep step. 2) http SSL was bad; FC used a different SSL config from centos, and this seemed to be reproduced by engine-setup causing failures during setup. The http error was around SSLPassPhraseDialog, in FC: SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/usr/libexec/httpd-ssl-pass-dialog in centos: LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin This caused engine-setup to fail and http not to start.
