HOW TO: Install Tactic-4.7 Enterprise on CentOS 7 - Bob.K - 04-02-2020
Hey Guys!
I have struggled around with the installation documentation of Tactic-4.7 for a while now and I thought maybe I should share my version of it.
Requirements: - Minimal Installation of CentOS 7 + Internet (Network connection)
For simplicity, issue the following commands as root user (otherwise don‘t forget to put sudo in front of each command)
First of all, update the system:
>yum update -y
Enabling SELinux
Open the file /etc/selinux/config and change the option SELINUX to enforcing
>yum install -y nano
>nano /etc/selinux/config # CTRL+O to save ; CTRL+X to exit
>reboot
Enabling firewalld
Check status with >systemctl status firewalld
>systemctl start firewalld
>systemctl enable firewalld
Install Apache
>yum install -y httpd
>firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
>firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent # optional
>firewall-cmd --reload
>/usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
>systemctl start httpd
>systemctl enable httpd
Download and extract Tactic-Install archive
>yum install -y unzip wget
>cd /tmp
>wget http://community.southpawtech.com/downloads/TACTIC%20-%20Enterprise/TACTIC-4.7.0.b02.zip
>unzip TACTIC-4.7.0.b02.zip
EPEL
Enable Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL).
>yum -y --enablerepo=extras install epel-release
Install PostgreSQL
>rpm -Uvh https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
>yum update -y
>yum install -y postgresql11-server postgresql11-contrib postgresql11-devel
>/usr/pgsql-11/bin/postgresql-11-setup initdb
>systemctl start postgresql-11
>systemctl enable postgresql-11
Configure and verify PostgreSQL
>systemctl stop postgresql-11
>mv /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/pg_hba.conf /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/pg_hba.conf.BACKUP
>cp /tmp/TACTIC-4.7/src/install/postgresql/pg_hba.conf /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/
>chown postgres:postgres /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/pg_hba.conf
>systemctl start postgresql-11
To verify, issue followinf command:
>psql -U postgres template1
It should give you a prompt: > [b]template1=#
[/b]Exit out by pressing [b]CTRL+D[/b]
Install Python 3.6 and supporting modules
>yum install -y python3
>yum install -y python36-pycryptodomex python36-lxml python36-requests
>yum install -y python36-pillow python36-dateutil python36-pytz
>yum install -y python3-psycopg2
Alternatively you can also install these modules using pip like this.
>pip3 install pycryptodomex
Install ImageMagick
>yum install -y ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick-perl
Install ffmpeg
>rpm --import http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/RPM-GPG-KEY-nux.ro
>rpm -Uvh http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
>yum install -y ffmpeg
Install pyodbc
>yum install -y unixODBC unixODBC-devel
>yum install -y gcc-c++
>yum install -y python3-devel
>yum install -y pyodbc
>pip3 install --upgrade pip
>pip3 install pyodbc
Installing Tactic 4.7.0.b02
>cd /
>python3 /tmp/TACTIC-4.7/src/install/install.py
>pip3 install pycryptodomex
Install ImageMagick
>yum install -y ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick-perl
Install ffmpeg
>rpm --import http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/RPM-GPG-KEY-nux.ro
>rpm -Uvh http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
>yum install -y ffmpeg
Install pyodbc
>yum install -y unixODBC unixODBC-devel
>yum install -y gcc-c++
>yum install -y python3-devel
>yum install -y pyodbc
>pip3 install --upgrade pip
>pip3 install pyodbc
Installing Tactic 4.7.0.b02
>cd /
>python3 /tmp/TACTIC-4.7/src/install/install.py
The installer will ask you a number of questions. You should be prompted by the following:
>Please enter the base path of the TACTIC installation:
>(/home/apache) -> /opt/tactic
>Please enter the base path of the TACTIC installation:
>(/home/apache) -> /opt/tactic
Choose your custom Tactic path, this will be the base directory for your Tactic installation. We have chosen /opt/tactic.
Next you will be asked to identify the user used to run the Apache service.
>Please enter the user Apache Web Server is run under:
>(apache) -> apache
While installation, you will be asked if you want to run fix_search_code.py, press y followed by ENTER
Configuring Apache
Lastly Tactic requires us to install the custom Apache configuration file it has created during the installation process /opt/tactic/tactic_data/config/tactic.conf
With an editor make sure the following lines exist:

>Please enter the user Apache Web Server is run under:

Configuring Apache
Lastly Tactic requires us to install the custom Apache configuration file it has created during the installation process /opt/tactic/tactic_data/config/tactic.conf
With an editor make sure the following lines exist:
# Using the ProxyPass directives
ProxyPreserveHost on
<Proxy balancer://tactic>
BalancerMember http://localhost:8081/tactic
BalancerMember http://localhost:8082/tactic
BalancerMember http://localhost:8083/tactic
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /tactic balancer://tactic
ProxyPass /tactic_data balancer://tactic
As root issue the following commands:
>cp /opt/tactic/tactic_data/config/tactic.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d
>systemctl restart httpd
Starting Tactic in Development Mode
>su -s /bin/bash apache
>python3 /opt/tactic/tactic/src/bin/startup_dev.py
You should now be able to navigate a web browser to http://localhost Alternatively, use the non-local IP address or fully qualified domain name you have assigned to your TACTIC server in place of localhost. You should see the TACTIC login screen.
Press CTRL+C to exit TACTIC Development Mode followed by CTRL+D
Installing TACTIC as a Service
Update your TACTIC config file /opt/tactic/tactic_data/config/tactic-conf.xml to use Python 3 for all services by updating tag:
<services>
...
<python>python3</python>
...
</services>
Now as root, type the following:
>cp /opt/tactic/tactic/src/install/service/tactic_python3 /etc/init.d/tacticProxyPreserveHost on
<Proxy balancer://tactic>
BalancerMember http://localhost:8081/tactic
BalancerMember http://localhost:8082/tactic
BalancerMember http://localhost:8083/tactic
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /tactic balancer://tactic
ProxyPass /tactic_data balancer://tactic
As root issue the following commands:
>cp /opt/tactic/tactic_data/config/tactic.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d
>systemctl restart httpd
Starting Tactic in Development Mode
>su -s /bin/bash apache
>python3 /opt/tactic/tactic/src/bin/startup_dev.py
You should now be able to navigate a web browser to http://localhost Alternatively, use the non-local IP address or fully qualified domain name you have assigned to your TACTIC server in place of localhost. You should see the TACTIC login screen.
Press CTRL+C to exit TACTIC Development Mode followed by CTRL+D
Installing TACTIC as a Service
Update your TACTIC config file /opt/tactic/tactic_data/config/tactic-conf.xml to use Python 3 for all services by updating tag:
<services>
...
<python>python3</python>
...
</services>
Now as root, type the following:
>chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tactic
>systemctl enable tactic
>systemctl start tactic
Create user „tactic“ and configure permissions
>adduser tactic
>chown tactic:tactic -R /opt/tactic
>chmod 755 -R /opt/tactic
Finally, reboot the server and test whether the TACTIC service continues to perform across reboots.
>reboot

Thanks so much for this guide!
Before I tear my hair out trying to make a docker-compose out of this, do you know if anyone has converted this to a Docker or docker-compose setup?
Cheers
Dan

Search for the forums, Diego already did docker-compose
RE: HOW TO: Install Tactic-4.7 Enterprise on CentOS 7 - tushar_soni - 07-26-2020
Thank you Bob.
This was very helpful.
I am installing tactic 4.8.0.b03 on centos 7 VM on virtual box according to above guidelines.
Everything went fine upto running tactic in dev mode with startup_dev.py, I could access the site on host OS with IP address.
However, when I tried to install tactic service I am getting below error.
tactic.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.
Executing /sbin/chkconfig tactic on
service tactic does not support chkconfig
Any workaround for this as I am using latest version of tactic from git repo?
Thanks.

I copied service in /etc/rc.d/init.d and then changed permission as mentioned above and then added it to ckhconfig like below,
Code:
> /etc/rc.d/init.d/tactic chkconfig --add
> /etc/rc.d/init.d/tactic chkconfig on
> systemctl start tacticThat's it!
But still this is not enabled across reboots, I have to run chkconfig again on everyboot.
There must be some solution for this.
Thanks
RE: HOW TO: Install Tactic-4.7 Enterprise on CentOS 7 - Bob.K - 07-26-2020
yeah weill, i actually did used systemctl to enable the service on boot....I'm not sure why you have to fiddle around with chkconfig
just to be sure, have you type this one as well:
systemctl enable tactic
?

That's the reason why systemctl enable tactic doesn't work, if this works then tactic will start on every boot.
