Real Software Forums

Ok so I decided to go with inmotionhosting since RB uses it for their Demo... so I know it should work. I contacted RB and they suggested using the forums.

I'm on a VPS CENTOS 6.4 x86_64 and have emailed the support team there letting them know that I need to have the 32bit libraries installed. They wrote back saying they need something more specific.



I'm really hoping for community help and thanks in advance to all those that reply.

Do you have SSH access to the VPS?
If you do you can install ia32-Libs yourself using apt-get (if it's installed)
Simply run: apt-get install ia32-libs

Thanks Akiland - I do have access to SSH but not sure if I need root access. I tried typing that into terminal once I was logged in and it gave me the following error:



Should I ask tech support if they can run that code for me?

Try: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Sudo tells Linux you're trying to perform the command administratively.

I guess I'm not an admin I get the following error:


Really baffle's me as why R.S. has them on the list and they even use them to run the CGI script (and no setup instructions). I have the script running fine on my shared hosting (not inmotionhosting) and was contacted saying it was using too much of the CPU's resources.

I found this not sure if it's something that would help but it sounds exactly like my issue.

Hmm, seems that Centos is a bit trickier than Ubuntu
Tell the support to install the libs necessary to run 32 bit apps on their 64 bit system. They should know what to do

Maybe I should cancel this service...I contacted support - what you told me and they responded with...

I'm not a CentOS expert, preferring to use Debian/Ubuntu.

In general, you probably want to start with one of these two commands depending on the version:

CentOS 6.x
# yum reinstall glibc.i686 glibc-devel.i686

CentOS 4.x, 5.x
# yum reinstall glibc.i386 glibc-devel.i386


If that is not sufficient then you'll need to use the ldd command on the built app:

ldd myappname

This will show additional libraries that are needed. They can be installed using these commands:

yum whatprovides */libname
yum install packagename

More practically, it might be easier to just deploy a 32-bit Linux VPS or to use Debian.

Alright just to update - I sent them what you said Paul (BTY thanks for all your tutorials) and seems like they are giving up and telling me that I need a dedicated host if I want to try loading all those scripts.



So if anyone has other hosting providers where that they can provide easy setup directions let me know.

Thanks for everyone's help.

We use iPeer VPS A (Ubuntu): http://cdn.ipeerhosting.com/linux-vps.php (Located somewhere in Sweden)
I think they still offer a 2 week free tryout if you contact them and ask for it. To get a stand alone app running, just install ia32 libs through SSH and everything should work. (at least thats how I remember I did)
I'm sure there are many other providers that others use too

I use amazon web services and turnketlinux's LAMP stack.

You can also download the image from Turnkey and install it on virtualbox on your PC if you like (no host necessary).

I've been using http://www.interserver.net/vps/home.php for almost two years.Their VPS packages start at $6.00 a month. I don't have any WE apps running on it right now, but I've played with a couple of test apps and they ran just fine. They also provide a large selection of operating systems you can install. With Ubuntu you can install 32 or 64 bit... not sure about the others.

Thanks again for those suggestions on VPS - I'll take a look at them. If any of you are affiliates feel free to PM me the code - if I decide to go with them I want to make sure I give you credit.

Not really sure which one I need but here's a screen capture of what I'm trying to prevent. Right now I'm on a shared server and hopefully on a VPS the lag will go away.

The video is in realtime nothing was paused and I was doing a simple query to fill a list box. When I run in RB Test mode this lag is not noticeable.

Hey guys. I just wanted to write and give some sort of detail in setting up WE apps on InMotion Hosting. I just started the setup about 3 days ago and have it complete with a test app up and running.

The important things to note are:

1. Get a VPS. For now I'm using VPS-1000
2. You must physically request root access from them.

a. Log into AMP
b. Under "Additional Services", click "Other"
c. Under "Add Services", click the account in question
d. Click "Request Root Access"
3. Once root access is enabled, you must change your domain nameservers. InMotion will set them up for you as ns1 and ns2.yourdomain.com.
4. Upload one of your web apps, libs, etc. and use standard permissions (755 for app, cgi and Lib directory and (debatable) 777 for config file.
5. SSH into your server as root:

a. # ssh root@vps####.inmotionhosting.com (#### of course is your VPS number)
6. While in SSH you need to install ia32-libs… HOWEVER, InMotion uses CentOS, so you have to physically install each of these yourself as root. Navigate to one of your apps and:

a. type ldd <appname>. For instance, one of my apps is called 'cp', so I key in # ldd cp
b. You'll get a response such as:

# ldd cp
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00def000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x004a9000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x0084c000)
libstdc++.so.6 => not found
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00942000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00468000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x005c2000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00cd4000)
c. This shows the different libraries required by your app.
d. Step through each, determining which package has the appropriate libraries by:

1. Typing # yum provides <library name>. Example: # yum provides libdl.so.2


# yum provides libdl.so.2

glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.i686 : The GNU libc libraries

Matched from:
Other : Provides-match: libdl.so.2
e. Find the specific packages, in this case "glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.i686" and install it by typing this:

1. # yum install <name>. Example: # yum install glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.i686
f. Repeat d and e for each library. When I did this with InMotion, I only had to install for libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1
7. Test your web app

Good luck!
