My system is 64-bit centOS 6.5. The 64-bit version then is 0.98.766 and the following error appeared when installing RStudio Server preview version:
[root@supstat download]# rpm -ivh rstudio-server-0.98.766-x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.6()(64bit) is needed by rstudio-server-0.98.766-1.x86_64
libgfortran.so.1()(64bit) is needed by rstudio-server-0.98.766-1.x86_64
libssl.so.6()(64bit) is needed by rstudio-server-0.98.766-1.x86_64
Refer to an article on stackoverflow:
yum install libcrypto.so.6 -y
yum install libgfortran.so.1 -y
yum install libssl.so.6 -y
yum install openssl098e-0.9.8e -y
yum install gcc41-libgfortran-4.1.2 -y
yum install pango-1.28.1 -y
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/centos/6.5/os/x86_64/Packages/compat-libgfortran-41-4.1.2-39.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh compat-libgfortran-41-4.1.2-39.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh --nodeps rstudio-server-0.98.766-x86_64.rpm
Completion of the above steps is still not enough. Running rstudio-server verify-installation still reports errors.
The problem lies in the lack of library files, but there is indeed a file as mentioned in the error report under /usr/lib. Then let’s check the library files under / usr/lib64 :
[root@supstat lib64]# ll libcrypto*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Apr 9 12:15 libcrypto.so -> libcrypto.so.1.0.1e
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Apr 9 12:15 libcrypto.so.10 -> libcrypto.so.1.0.1e
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1950976 Apr 8 10:42 libcrypto.so.1.0.1e
[root@supstat lib64]# ll libssl*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 250168 Feb 11 21:01 libssl3.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 9 12:15 libssl.so -> libssl.so.1.0.1e
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 9 12:15 libssl.so.10 -> libssl.so.1.0.1e
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 441112 Apr 8 10:42 libssl.so.1.0.1e
We could find there is no libcrypto.so.6 and libssl.so.6.
Attempting to create a soft link library files:
cd /usr/lib64
ln -s libssl.so.10 libssl.so.6
ln -s libcrypto.so.10 libcrypto.so.6
rstudio-server verify-installation test passed.
Firewall settings
In the browser, when entering http:// <server IP>: 8787, you will find it impossible to get accessed. This is due to built-in firewall policy in centOS which have not added 8787 port.
Next, modify the firewall configuration file:
vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
Add -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT after the following sentence:
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8787 -j ACCEPT
So that you can access it!
User Settings
Sometimes we want to restrict user access to Rstudio Server, then it is necessary to modify the configuration file /etc/rstudio/rserver.conf, and add the following sentence:
auth-required-user-group=rstudio_users
Then add users groups rstudio_users and user supstat in the command line:
groupadd rstudio_users
useradd supstat
usermod -a -G rstudio_users supstat
# user password setting
passwd supstat
# if you want to add sudo permission for some users ,please refer to
#http://www.getroad.cn/blog/?action=show&id=801
chown -R supstat:rstudio_users /home/supstat
Then we can use supstat account to login in the Rstudio Server :
View the process:
[root@supstat R]#ps aux|grep rstudio-server 498 19292 0.1 0.3 212788 3980 ? Ssl 07:30 0:00 /usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rserver
supstat 19307 0.5 4.3 568932 43956 ? Sl 07:31 0:03 /usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rsession -u supstat
root 19414 0.0 0.0 103248 864 pts/0 R+ 07:43 0:00 grep rstudio-server
We can see there are two rstudio-server-related processes: one is rserver system, and the other is the user supstat ‘s rsession.
