<h2>For the impatient</h2>
|
|
Those who think they know everything, the quick steps to install
|
|
LiveSupport are (make sure to run at least the <code>./bin/install.sh</code>
|
|
script as root):<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre><code>wget </code><code></code><code>http://livesupport.campware.org/look/campware</code><code>/download/livesupport-<version>.tar.bz2<br></code><code>wget </code><code></code><code>http://livesupport.campware.org/look/campware</code><code>/download/livesupport-libraries-<version>.tar.bz2<br>tar xfj livesupport-<version>.tar.bz2<br></code><code>tar xfj livesupport-libraries-<version>.tar.bz2<br>cd livesupport-<version><br>./configure<br>make setup && make compile<br>./bin/install.sh -d /usr/local/livesupport -g apache -r /var/www<br>/usr/local/livesupport/bin/scheduler.sh start<br></code></pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Then try the URL <code>http://localhost/livesupport/htmlUI/var/html/ </code>,
|
|
and log in using username: <code>root</code>, password: <code>q</code>.<br>
|
|
<br>

<h1>Installing and configuring required external services</h1>
|
|
LiveSupport depends on some external services to be able to run, most
|
|
importantly a PHP-capable web server (we assume apache), and a database
|
|
server (we assume PostgreSQL). <br>
|
|
<h2>Database</h2>
|
|
LiveSupport expects a <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a>
|
|
database, version 7.4 or later, to be installed on your system. The
|
|
database will be accessed through TCP/IP, usually via the localhost
|
|
interface. To achieve this, make sure to make the following changes to
|
|
the PostgreSQL configuration files.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Edit <code>postgresql.conf</code>
|
|
(usually <code>/var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf</code>), to have
|
|
to following line:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre><code>tcpip_socket = true</code></pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
and also edit <code>pg_hba.conf</code> (usually <code>/var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf</code>)
|
|
to include the following line, before any other lines related to access
|
|
through localhost:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre><code>host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password<br><br></code></pre>
|
|
These changes will make sure that the PostgreSQL database is accessible
|
|
via TCP/IP from localhost.<br>
|
|
<h2>Web server</h2>
|
|
LiveSupport expects an apache web server with PHP and some additional
|
|
PHP modules installed. In particular:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="http://httpd.apache.org/">Apache</a> httpd server,
|
|
either version 1.x or 2.x<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.php.net/">PHP</a> interpreter</li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.php.net/">PHP</a> apache module</li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.php.net/domxml">DOMXML</a> PHP extension - an
|
|
XMLv2 module for PHP<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a> support in PHP</li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://pear.php.net/">PEAR</a> modules (may be checked: <code>pear
|
|
list</code> and installed by e.g.: <code>pear install DB</code>):</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>DB</li>
|
|
<li>Calendar (available in Beta Version 0.5.2, so use <code>pear install Calendar-0.5.2</code>)
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>File</li>
|
|
<li>File_Find</li>
|
|
<li>HTML_Common</li>
|
|
<li>HTML_QuickForm</li>
|
|
<li>XML_Beautifier</li>
|
|
<li>XML_Parser</li>
|
|
<li>XML_RPC</li>
|
|
<li>XML_Serializer-0.15.0</li>
|
|
<li>XML_Util</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Please note the user group your apache daemon is running as (usually <code>apache</code>
|
|
or <code>www-data</code>), you will need this information later. Later
|
|
on in this document, this group will be referred to as <code><apache-group></code>.
|
|
Also note the document root directory for your apache installation
|
|
(usually <code>/var/www</code> or <code>/var/www/htdocs</code>
|
|
or <code>/var/www/<yourhost>/htdocs</code>). Later on in this
|
|
document, this directory will be reffered to as <code><www-root></code>.<br>
|
|
<h1>Obtaining LiveSupport sources</h1>
|
|
LiveSupport sources come in two different tarballs:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>livesupport-<version>.tar.bz2</code> - the
|
|
LiveSupport source files<code><br>
|
|
</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>livesupport-libraries-<version>.tar.bz2</code> -
|
|
external libraries used by LiveSupport<code><br>
|
|
</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
These files are accessible through the following URLs:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<pre><code></code><code>http://livesupport.campware.org/look/campware</code><code>/download/livesupport-<version>.tar.bz2</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<pre><code></code><code>http://livesupport.campware.org/look/campware</code><code>/download/livesupport-libraries-<version>.tar.bz2</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
After downloading the files, untar them in the same directory:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre><code>tar xfj livesupport-<version>.tar.bz2<br>tar xfj livesupport-libraries-<version>.tar.bz2<br></code></pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
which will create a <code>livesupport-<version></code>
|
|
directory, with all the required files to compile and install
|
|
LiveSupport.<br>
|
|
<h1>Compiling LiveSupport</h1>
|
|
To compile LiveSupport, enter the LiveSupport directory, and execute
|
|
the following commands:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre><code>cd livesupport-<version><br>./configure<br>make setup && make compile<br></code></pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
This will take quite a while, so go have a tea, watch a movie, relax,
|
|
etc.<br>
|
|
<h1>Installing LiveSupport<br>
|
|
</h1>
|
|
After a successful compilation, to install LiveSupport, you have to
|
|
decide which directory you want LiveSupport installed into. This
|
|
directory will be referred to as <code><ls-installdir></code>
|
|
later on in this document.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The installation is done using the <code>bin/install.sh</code> script
|
|
found in the LiveSupport base directory. This script has to be run as <code>root</code>.
|
|
To see the possible options to the script, invoke it with the <code>--help</code>
|
|
parameter. A brief overview of the most frequently used parameters:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre><code> -d, --directory The installation directory, required.<br><br></code></pre>
|
|
The installation directory, a required parameter. Supply the previously
|
|
decided LiveSupport installation directory here, <code><ls-installdir></code>
|
|
(as mentioned above). A sensible value to use here is <code>/usr/local/livesupport</code>.<br>
|
|
<pre><code><br> -g, --apache-group The group the apache daemon runs as.<br> [default: apache]<br><br></code></pre>
|
|
The user group the apache web server daemon runs at (see the section
|
|
above on installing apache). Supply the <code><apache-group></code>
|
|
value here, as mentioned above, which is usually either <code>apache</code>
|
|
or <code>www-data</code>.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre> -r, --www-root The root directory for web documents served<br> by apache [default: /var/www]<br><br></pre>
|
|
The document root of your apache installation (see the section above on
|
|
installing apache). Supply the <code><www-root></code>
|
|
value here, as mentioned above, which is usually <code>/var/www</code>
|
|
or <code>/var/www/htdocs</code>
|
|
or <code>/var/www/<yourhost>/htdocs.</code>
|
|
<pre><code><br> -H, --host The fully qualified host name of the system<br> [default: guess].<br></code><br></pre>
|
|
The fully qualified domain name of your system. If the install script
|
|
cannot determine your host name correctly, please supply the FQDN via
|
|
this parameter.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Thus a typical invocation of the install script is the following:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre><code>./bin/install.sh -d <ls-installdir> -g <apache-group> -r <www-root></code><br></pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The install script has more options, which enable you to customize your
|
|
installation of LiveSupport. Note that the defaults are usually quite
|
|
sensible values, which will create the following setup:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>a PostgreSQL database user named <code>livesupport</code>, with
|
|
password <code>livesupport</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>a PostgreSQL database named <code>LiveSupport</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>an ODBC data source named <code>LiveSupport</code>, connecting
|
|
to the database of the same name.</li>
|
|
<li>initialize the database with appropriate tables</li>
|
|
<li>create a symlink into your apache root to point to <code><ls-installdir>/var</code>.<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h1>Try it out</h1>
|
|
After a successful installation, the LiveSupport scheduler has to be
|
|
started. The scheduler has a System V runlevel-style startup script,
|
|
under <ls-installdir>/bin/scheduler.sh. To start the scheduler,
|
|
simply invoke:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre><code><ls-installdir>/bin/scheduler.sh start</code><br></pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The only thing left to do is to try out the LiveSupport web interface.
|
|
For this purpose, point your browser to the following URL: <code>http://<yourhost>/livesupport/htmlUI/var/html/</code>
|
|
. For your first login, use the following values:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>username: root</li>
|
|
<li>password: q</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Have fun!<br>
