How to Install Free Registry of Enum and Domains on Ubuntu Debian Linux (FRED.NIC.CZ)

For anyone that is interested in enum technology and setting up a professional enum registry service for there customers may have stumbled across FRED the free registry of enum and domains. Its basically an open source project that comes with all the packages and software needed to create a central enum registry. (fred.nic.cz)

- allows registrars to join
- input domain names
- service invoices and much more

Installing the FRED system can be painful using the manuals but there is a FRED script that will install and let you run all the components very easily the only trouble being installing all the correct packages for it to execute trouble free. I had FRED working and I will go through the basic steps

Download the Appropriate Packages (sudo su) must be in root mode

apt-get -y install

apt-get install apache2 postgresql gcc autoconf make bison
build-essential libpq-dev omniidl4 omniidl4-python libomniorb4-dev
libomnithread3-dev libdaemon-dev libboost-dev libboost-date-time-dev

note: there may be some duplicates in there but I haven't removed them, just ensure that you have all the above packages. Tested on ubuntu 8.04, 8.10. Note ubuntu 9.04 has some IPV6 Omniorb-nameserver clashes which may be a pain to get around (reloading the kernel or disabling ipv6)

Now follow the steps

wget http://fred.nic.cz/sources/fred-manager
chmod 755 fred-manager
./fred-manager download
./fred-manager install
./fred-manager start

Here we download the fred-manager script to any directory , ppl recommend /usr/src , or /usr/yourusername

we modify the priveldges for the fred-manager script
download the neccessary files for FRED, install and then start

and there you have it , FRED , Free registry of enum and domains should be up and running you can reach it using fred client located at

./root/bing/fred-client

or reach the http gui at http://serverip:/22344 , 23445

hope this helps someone who see's this ,gooodluck
