### Other info / logs

When looking at similar issues i tried to run the mongod from the env but got and error : `[/data_local/workspace/conda_amine] l0494241@xrai-frpau-132 bin → /data_local/workspace/conda_amine/lib/python3.7/site-packages/fiftyone/db/bin/mongod --version

/data_local/workspace/conda_amine/lib/python3.7/site-packages/fiftyone/db/bin/mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`

Also running directly the command /usr/bin/mongod --dbpath /users/l0494241/.fiftyone/var/lib/mongo \ --logpath /users/l0494241/.fiftyone/var/lib/mongo/log/mongo.log \ --port 0 --nounixsocket

gives a core dump error :

**Aborted (core dumped)**

We also have a disk quota limit on our home ( /users/ID) where the .fiftyone directory is created, this may be the issue, how can i configure fiftyone to use other directory for sertup ?

Thanks for your help

Hi @AmineDiro. I am unsure if we have had any users successfully set up fiftyone on RHEL. But it is something we can try to work out.

The first thing I would recommend is to clear your mongo data folder, and then try again with your system install of mongo.

rm -r /users/l0494241/.fiftyone/var/lib/mongo

Thanks a lot for your help, i rm - rf I am still having the same issue.

From my understanding the init calls __public__ which initalizes the DatabaseService class.

In the class we call `DatabaseService.find_mongod()``which search for available mongod_path .

For me i debugged by printing the mongod_path

mogod_path /data_local/workspace/conda_amine/lib/python3.7/site-packages/fiftyone/db/bin/mongod
mogod_path /usr/bin/mongod

Now after rerunning i have this error :

Also after reinstalling mongod-server i could not start the service :

I am pretty stuck at this level , running mongod with --dbpath does not work either :/ .

Well , I found the issue with the mongod server not running it was a port issue, now i changed it to runn on 8889 , i also changed the value in command property of DatabaseService :

262     @property
263     def command(self):
264         args = [
265             DatabaseService.find_mongod(),
266             "--dbpath",
267             self.database_dir,
268             "--logpath",
269             os.path.join(self.database_dir, "log/mongo.log"),
270             "--port",
271             "8889",
272         ]

Now the mongod server is running 👍

Hi @AmineDiro. Pardon the delay. I think what would be easiest until we can officially support RHEL (soon) is a quick patch that assumes you are running your own mongod service.

All you should need to do is replace this line with

import fiftyone.core.odm.database as food
food.set_default_port(27017) # change to your mongo service port
food.get_db_conn()

Again, you should replace or comment out the line starts that initializes the DatabaseService.

Hello thanks for the help again :smiley: I would love to contribute to the support of RHEL (what would be the step to contribute on this ? ) i changes __public__ to :

 11  #_database_service = fos.DatabaseService()
 12  import fiftyone.core.odm.database as food
 13  food.set_default_port(8889) # change to your mongo service port
 14  food.get_db_conn()

Now everything is ok :

You'd need to add the download url option to the db package's setup.py. And add a new rhel package like debian9.

https://github.com/voxel51/fiftyone/blob/develop/package/db/setup.py

In the end, the changes should allow for the following build command:

FIFTYONE_DB_BUILD_LINUX_DISTRO=rhel python setup.py bdist_wheel --plat-name linux-x86_64

I should note that I was able to install and use fiftyone on a rhel 8 docker image, but I was not able to find a rhel 7 image. Perhaps I should check CentOS 7.

Adding arm wheel(s) would be nice too.

This page can help you generate the links, but remember we are using 4.4.2

Great Thanks for the guidance. I'll start working on this. :+1:
