- 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 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 - download the 3.x series, extract it, and copy the src directory from it to vcl/.ht-inc/jpgraph
- make the .ht-inc/maintenance directory writable by the web server user - i.e. if the httpd process is running as user 'apache' run 'chown apache .ht-inc/maintenance'
- open the testsetup.php page in a web browser
- 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
**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 these additional required fields:
- SysAdmin Email Address - error emails will be sent to this address
- Install Path - this is parent directory under which image files will be stored - only required if doing bare metal installs or using VMWare with local disks
- End Node SSH Identity Key Files - probably just enter "/etc/vcl/vcl.key"
- optionally, fill in these unrequired fields:
- Address for Shadow Emails - End users are sent various emails about the status of their reservations. If this field is configured, copies of all of those emails will be sent to this address.
- Public NIC configuration method - this defaults to Dynamic DHCP - if DHCP is not available for the public interface of your nodes, you can set this to Static. Then, the IP configuration on the nodes will be manually set using Public Netmask, Public Gateway, Public DNS Server, and the IP address set for the computer under Manage Computers
- click "Confirm Management Node"
