  1. If you haven't already done so, download and extract a copy of the latest release. There is a link to it under the Project Resources section on our wiki home page. Look for "Current version".
  2. copy the "web" directory to a location somewhere under the web root of your web server:
    Code Block
    cp -r web/ /var/www/html/vcl
  3. copy/rename secrets-default.php to secrets.php
  4. 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
  5. 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)
  6. copy/rename conf-default.php to conf.php
  7. 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.
    NOTE: There is a misconfiguration in conf.php in VCL 2.1. To correct it, change affiliationid for "Local Account" in the $authMechs array from 4 to 1You really need to modify each entry in the "Things in this section must be modified" part of the file.
  8. *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.

  9. download version 0.4.0 of Dojo Toolkit: http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-0.4.0/dojo-0.4.0-ajax.tar.gz

  10. 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"
  11. go into the themes directory (vcl/themes) and run "./copydojocss.sh default" to copy parts of dojo's css into the "default" theme
  12. 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)
