Installation guide

following command as root:
/sbin/service piranha-gui start
or
/sbin/service piranha-gui restart
Issuing this command starts a private session of the Apache HTTP Server by calling the
symbolic link /usr/sbin/piranha_gui -> /usr/sbin/httpd. For security reasons, the
piranha-gui version of httpd runs as the piranha user in a separate process. The fact that
piranha-gui leverages the httpd service means that:
1. The Apache HTTP Server must be installed on the system.
2. Stopping or restarting the Apache HTTP Server via the service command stops the
piranha-gui service.
Warning
If the command /sbin/service httpd stop or /sbin/service httpd
restart is issued on an LVS router, you must start the piranha-gui service by
issuing the following command:
/sbin/service piranha-gui start
The piranha-gui service is all that is necessary to begin configuring LVS. However, if you are
configuring LVS remotely, the sshd service is also required. You do not need to start the pulse
service until configuration using the Piranha Configuration Tool is complete. See Section 8,
“Starting LVS” for information on starting the pulse service.
3.1. Configuring the Piranha Configuration Tool Web Server
Port
The Piranha Configuration Tool runs on port 3636 by default. To change this port number,
change the line Listen 3636 in Section 2 of the piranha-gui Web server configuration file
/etc/sysconfig/ha/conf/httpd.conf.
To use the Piranha Configuration Tool you need at minimum a text-only Web browser. If you
start a Web browser on the primary LVS router, open the location http://localhost:3636.
You can reach the Piranha Configuration Tool from anywhere via Web browser by replacing
localhost with the hostname or IP address of the primary LVS router.
When your browser connects to the Piranha Configuration Tool, you must login to access the
configuration services. Enter piranha in the Username field and the password set with
piranha-passwd in the Password field.
