Graphite/Grafana/NetApp Harvest installation

[robv]

Hi Chris,

I'm trying to install to install Graphite/Grafana & NetApp Harvest on a freshly installed RedHat 7.1 server. Although I find your instructions very clear in the installation document you made, I'm running in some issues. Can you help me with this...as Google is not my friend in this particular case...

I'm stuck at page 12 of your quick install document:

[root@xxxxxxxx tmp]# pip install 'django<1.5'

Can you perhaps point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

These errors are probably caused because  your Linux box is not configured to trust the certificate authority that issued the github certificates.    

You can either add the certificate authorities on your Linux box, or you can disable git's validating of SSL certificates using one of these commands before you run your git clone commands.

git config --global http.sslVerify false    # Persistent

$ env GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true    # For this session only

WARNING: Disabling SSL certificate verification has security implications. Without verification of the authenticity of SSL/HTTPS connections, a malicious attacker can impersonate a trusted endpoint (such as GitHub or some other remote Git host), and you'll be vulnerable to a Man-in-the-Middle Attack. Be sure you fully understand the security issues before using this as a solution.

Hope that helps.

Colin
