[Samba] Samba4 Classicupgrade Failed

[Mario Codeniera]

Hi,

I used to solved this problem, hope that it will helps for others who will
encountered the same issue which took me days to figure it out. As you can
see the logs it is using python 2.4 (see for example File
"/usr/local/samba/lib/*python2.4/*site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py",
line 142, in _run) even I told before that I used to upgrade to Python2.7
but "samba-tools domain classicupgrade" seems to see the Python2.4.

Here are the steps:
1) Install the needed packages for the Python2.7 first
*yum groupinstall "Development tools"*
*yum install zlib-devel*
*yum install bzip2-devel*
*yum install openssl-devel*
*yum install ncurses-devel*
*yum install readline-devel*

2) Download the Python source code. (You can use also latest version 3.xx)
*wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tar.bz2*
*tar xvf Python-2.7.3.tar.bz2*
*./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-threads --enable-shared*
*make && make install*
*         T*ake note: you can use *make altinstall *(if you want two python
(a big and small, lol), meaning Python2.4 and Python2.7

*ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0 /usr/lib*
         If you can't find it, please do search.

3) Check the python if the version is correct.
*$python*

       Python 2.7.3 (default, Jan  23 2013, 16:43:58)
       [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2
       Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
       >>>

4) Optional (running before testing using step#3)
*wget
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.27.tar.gz
*
*tar xvf distribute-0.6.27.tar.gz*
*cd  distribute-0.6.27*
*python2.7 setup.py install*
*easy_install-2.7 virtualenv*

5) Finally check using yum
*yum search elinks*
*
*
Then refer to the howto in samba for details
*git clean -x -f -d*
*rm -rf /usr/local/samba*
recompile it back see
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO#Step_2:_Compile_Samba

Viola! you will not able to see these logs anymore, but another steps of
problems soon you will encounter which is another story.

Thanks,
