Installing VCL Frontend Web Code
This needs to be updated. Now that we have a release out, you should use the latest release instead of getting code from subversion.
- checkout web code somewhere under the web root of your web server:
Code Block |
---|
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/vcl/trunk/web/ vcl
|
- modify vcl/.ht-inc/secrets.php
- set $vclhost, $vcldb, $vclusername, and $vclpassword to match your database setup
- create random passwords for $mcryptkey, $mcryptiv, and $pemkey - $mcryptiv must be 8 hex characters
- run the genkeys.sh script from within vcl/.ht-inc and give it $pemkey from secrets.php as the passphrase (3 times, copy/paste is a good idea here)
- modify vcl/.ht-inc/conf.php to match your site - COOKIEDOMAIN needs to be the domain name your web server is using, or left blank if you are accessing it by IP only
- *NOTICE* JpGraph 2.x is no longer available. JpGraph 3.x is released under a dual license. QPL 1.0 (Qt Free Licensee). Free for non-commercial, open-source or educational use (JpGraph Professional License for commercial use). If you are planning to use this for commercial use and don't want to pay for JpGraph, you can safely skip this step with the only side effect of not being able to display a few graphs on the statistics page.
Download JpGraph from http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/jpdownload.php - For PHP5, download the 3.x series, extract it, and copy the src directory from it to vcl/.ht-inc/jpgraph
- download version 0.4.0 of Dojo Toolkit: http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-0.4.0/dojo-0.4.0-ajax.tar.gz
- extract it under the vcl directory and rename "dojo-0.4.0-ajax" to "dojoAjax"
- download version 1.1.0 of Dojo Toolkit: http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.1.0/dojo-release-1.1.0.tar.gz
- extract it under the vcl directory and rename "dojo-release-1.1.0" to "dojo"
- go into the themes directory (vcl/themes) and run "./copydojocss.sh default" to copy parts of dojo's css into the "default" theme
- if you want to be able to edit any of the documentation that comes bundled with the vcl web code, download fckeditor from http://www.fckeditor.net/download (most people can skip this step)
- extract it under the vcl directory
- open a browser and open the testsetup.php page
- debug any issues reported by testsetup.php
- now, open the index.php page in your browser
- select Local Account and use 'admin' as the user and 'adminVc1passw0rd' as the password
- click the "Management Nodes" link
- enter the hostname and IP of your management node
- click Add
- fill in "Install Path" - this is parent directory under which image files will be stored
- enter "/etc/vcl/vcl.key" for "End Node SSH Identity Key Files"
- click "Confirm Management Node"
- click Submit
- click the "Management Nodes" link
- select "Edit Management Node Grouping"
- click Submit
- select the checkbox for your management node
- click Submit
- click "Manage Computers"
- select the "Add Single Computer" radio button
- click the Submit
- fill in Hostname, IP Address, owner (admin@Local), RAM, Proc Speed, Network Speed, select "blade" for Type, select "xCAT 1.x Provisioning" for "Provisioning Engine", and click the checkbox under "allcomputers", and "newimages"
Note: if using using vmware, select "virtualmachine" for Type and "VMWare Server Provisioning" for "Provisioning Engine" - click Confirm Computer
- click Submit (don't worry about the fact that the computer you just added isn't listed after clicking Submit)
- after you've configured your image library and your management node has started checking in, you should be able to make a reservation
