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".
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
copy/rename secrets-default.php to secrets.php
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)
copy/rename conf-default.php to conf.php
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. *You really need to modify each every entry in the "Things in this section must be modified" part of the file.*
*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
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)
select Local Account and use 'admin' as the user and 'adminVc1passw0rd' as the password **Now would be a good time to change the password from the default by going to User Preferences
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

For vmware: 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
