Is it possible to install Longview on CloudLinux?

I have a cPanel server that was initially CentOS 6.5, before I converted to CloudLinux 6.5.

I understand CloudLinux isn't officially supported by Longview, but I would have thought it should run fine, as it's not that different to CentOS?

I tried following the manual Longview CentOS install instructions at https://www.linode.com/docs/uptime/longview/#fedora-and-centos but upon running the final command (step 14), it ends with:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: perl-DBD-MySQL-4.013-3.el6.x86_64 (cloudlinux-x86_64-server-6)
           Requires: libmysqlclient.so.16()(64bit)
Error: Package: perl-DBD-MySQL-4.013-3.el6.x86_64 (cloudlinux-x86_64-server-6)
           Requires: libmysqlclient.so.16(libmysqlclient_16)(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I have tried using --skip-broken but it still doesn't start sending any data.

Anyone able to advise how to get it installed?

Many Thanks
James

James,

You would most likely need to install from source (if it would even run). The yum repositories for CloudLinux aren't going to have Longview (Linode's repository doesn't support CloudLinux as Longview for CloudLinux isn't supported).

You could try installing from source, that may or may not work. However, if you're also running cPanel (which is usually the case with CloudLinux users), you're not going to be able to use the newest Longview as Longview cPanel is no longer supported.

Thanks,

Dave.

Ok, thanks Dave. Think I might just stick to ServerDensity for the time being then!

As far as I remember CloudLinux has mysqlclient in their 'beta' repository, the following should works for you:

yum --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing install mysqlclient16 --disableexcludes=all

Wow, thanks some0dy, that worked perfectly! Data is now coming through!
