Preparations |
|---|
| 19 |
------------ |
|---|
| 20 |
* /var/mgd or whatever base directory configured needs to be added to your include_path in php.ini. Setting max_execution_time = 0, memory_limit = 256M is also recommended. If you have a separate php.ini for the CGI version you need to include it there too. |
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 |
* If your php commandline interpreter is not located at /usr/bin/php4 you need to make a symlink to that location. |

New install |
|---|
| 27 |
----------- |
|---|
| 28 |
* Installs a fresh staging / live setup with current oldadmin + asgard, borrowed from the data package. I also made a similar package based on Aegir but I don't distribute it because of possible license problems. |
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 |
* Run ./configure --with-host=your.host.name --with-ip=1.2.3.4 etc. (see ./configure --help) |
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 |
* Run ./dbinstall. This will generate 5 databases: frontend staging, backend staging, frontend live, backend live, meta and scripts in /var/mgd (default) |
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 |
* If you have already run ./dbinstall you first need to run ./clear to wipe the remnants, otherwise ./dbinstall won't work. This wipes all databases, blobs etc. configured, so back up if there is any real data. |
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 |
* The generated midgard-workflow.conf needs to be included or merged into your apache config. |
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 |
* Restart apache and run /var/mgd/everymin.php from the command line. If there is no error message, it probably works, and you can verify the everymin.php entry in your /etc/crontab and restart cron. |

Convert your existing DB |
|---|
| 43 |
------------------------ |
|---|
| 44 |
* Uses an existing DB and tries to convert it into a staging / live setup (everything published initially). It does this without overwriting the original DB. It can take an hour or longer if you have a lot of data. You can't convert a staging / live setup yet. |
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 |
* Run configure with --with-install=convert --with-convert-db=dbname (the original db). The blobs that belong to your existing db need to be in $blobroot/blobs_$dbname (adjust --with-blobroot) |
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 |
* Continue as above. |

Try it out |
|---|
| 52 |
---------- |
|---|
| 53 |
Log in to the control interface at http://host:staging-port(default 8001)/vccontrol?path=/sitegroup:SG0/page:Asgard_Root (for example). |
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 |
Try http://host:staging-port(default 8001)/vc/create to create a test sitegroup. If the page is mostly green, it works :) |

Oh well |

It's not tested on a lot of different setups and probably won't work without tweaking. Report your problems, please. |
