In this tutorial i will show you how to collect and create the system configuration summaries for Linux CentOS 5.5. The output file will be in the HTML format.
1. Please visit http://www.cfg2html.com to download cfg2html
For example :
26.01.2011 | 428.603 | cfg2html-linux-1.87-20110126_all.zip | cfg2html for Linux, SuSE+RedHat RPM, native Debian/Ubuntu package for apt(itude)/dpkg, \nSource Code for other distros
2. Extract the .zip and looking for .rpm file. Copy this .rpm to /tmp directory on your server. In this tutorial we will use cfg2html-linux-1.87-1.noarch.rpm to install cfg2html in Linux CentOS 5.5
3. Putty to your server and follow below command.
[root@server tmp]# ls cfg2html-linux-1.87-1.noarch.rpm [root@server tmp]# rpm -hiv cfg2html-linux-1.87-1.noarch.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:cfg2html-linux ########################################### [100%] [root@server tmp]# which cfg2html-linux /usr/bin/cfg2html-linux [root@server tmp]# cd /usr/bin [root@server bin]# ls *cfg2html-linux* cfg2html-linux [root@server bin]# mkdir /tmp/cfg2html [root@server bin]# cp cfg2html-linux /tmp/cfg2html [root@server bin]# cd /tmp/cfg2html [root@server cfg2html]# ls cfg2html-linux
Please make sure that there are no other files in “/tmp/cfg2html” directory except cfg2html-linux as all the output files will be store in this directory. Proceed to run the cfg2html script.
