Instead of installing each of the software items below separately, it is sufficient to install only a small set of packages, as this will pull in most of the required dependencies. To install everything except Zend:

Change permissions so that the following directories and files are writable by the web server user. In most cases this is www-data:www-data
:
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
cd var/www/core/trunk sudo chown -v www-data:www-data cache data/logs data/mails languages uploads public/includes sudo chown -v www-data:www-data public/.htaccess public/index.php application/configs/application.ini |
Apache2
- Designate a vhost to CORE and make sure it runs SSL.
- Point the DocumentRoot to the 'public' subdirectory of the source, so in this case
/var/www/core/trunk/public
.
The vhost can contain one conference, or multiple conferences, in which case you can use the ServerAlias statement. For example:
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<VirtualHost *:443> ServerName core.nren.edu ServerAlias myconf2011.nren.edu ServerAlias myconf2012.nren.edu ServerAlias otherconf2011.nren.edu DocumentRoot /var/www/core/public SSLEngine on SSLCipherSuite 'ALL:!ADH:!EXP:!DES:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:!MEDIUM!SSLv2:@STRENGTH' SSLHonorCipherOrder On SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/cachain.crt SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.key </VirtualHost> |
In the case of multiple conferences, it is convenient to use an SSL certificate with Subject Alternative Names - for instance those obtained by participating in the TERENA Certificate Service
At this moment each conference in CORE needs its own vhost, and it is not possible to run conferences under a sub directory (for instance https://www.nren.edu/conferences/myconf).
PHP5
PHP needs to be configured according to this table:
PHP Version | 5.3 or greater |
---|---|
Directives |
|
upload_max_filesize | FIXME This should probably be done only in php.ini, and not in application config files. |
short_open_tag | On |
safe_mode | Off |
register_globals | Off |
Extensions |
|
pdo_pgsql | PDO PostgreSQL functions |
apc | Alternative PHP Cache |
fileinfo | File Information |
gd | GD Graphics |
PostgreSQL
sudo to postgres and create a new database user, and write down the password:

Developer info: use this command to create an empty database with all definitions and transfer it directly to the dev host where the installer is:

Change permissions
Change permission so that the following directories and files are writable by the web server user. In most cases this is www-data:www-data
:
...
cd var/www/core/trunk
sudo chown -v www-data:www-data cache data/logs data/mails languages uploads public/includes
sudo chown -v www-data:www-data public/.htaccess public/index.php application/configs/application.ini
Zend Framework
You need version 1.11.0 or higher. This will need to be downloaded separately. Packaged versions in Debian or Ubuntu might be too old, but the installer will tell you so. You can download a tar ball of the latest Zend Framework from http://framework.zend.com/download/latest. The "Minimal" version is sufficient.
Code Block |
---|
cd /opt
wget http://framework.zend.com/releases/ZendFramework-1.11.10/ZendFramework-1.11.10-minimal.tar.gz
tar xzvf ZendFramework-1.11.10-minimal.tar.gz
|
The installer will ask for a location where to find this.
Because the actual code is packaged together with some docs and other stuff, you need to specify the directory that contains the 'Zend' directory. So in this case you would specifiy /opt/ZendFramework-1.11.10-minimal/library
.
You could also use subversion, in that case you can download only the code, and skip the supporting docs etc:
Code Block |
---|
cd /opt
svn co http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/branches/release-1.11/library/Zend
|
In this case the you would specifiy /opt/library
Must be populated with data:
- filetypes
- roles
- timeslot_types
CRON jobs
TODO: Create some scripts that periodically clean up mails and orphan files
Must be populated with data:
- filetypes
- roles
- timeslot_types
Default conference & vhosts
THere should be at least one conference defined, with correct vhost, also in apache.
File permissions
Make sure that appropriate directories are writable:
default files
public/.htaccess-dist -> public/.htaccess
application/configs/application.ini-dist -> application/configs/application.ini
files changes
.htaccess SETENV production ?
Default development, met message dat het daarna UITgezet moet worden.
In application.ini-dist the following need to be set:
core.debugMailTo = "<email to send error reports to>"
core.observer.review = 1 (to toggle observer: review)
Vacuum jobs using CRON
- mails
- orphan files
Initial admin
Run the invitation code from the installer, asking for an email address which will become admin.
