| This script will prompt you for the MySQL root password and will download the latest LON-CAPA release. |
The script is used to prepare a Linux system to run LON-CAPA, and can also be |
| |
used to check the configuration of a system on which LON-CAPA has already been installed. Typically, though, you will run this script only once, when you first install LON-CAPA. |
| |
</p> |
| |
<p> |
| |
The script will analyze your system to determine which actions are recommended. The script will then prompt you to choose the actions you would like taken. |
| |
Once a choice has been entered for all nine possible actions, required changes will be made. |
| |
</p> |
| |
<p>The possible actions are: |
| |
<ul> |
| |
<li>Create the www user/group</li> |
| |
<li>Install the package LON-CAPA uses to authenticate users.</li> |
| |
<li>Set-up the MySQL database</li> |
| |
<li>Set-up MySQL permissions</li> |
| |
<li>Configure Apache web server</li> |
| |
<li>Configure start-up of services</li> |
| |
<li>Check firewall settings</li> |
| |
<li>Stop services not used by LON-CAPA,<br /> |
| |
e.g., services for a print server: cups daemon</li> |
| |
<li>Download LON-CAPA source code in readiness for installation</li> |
| |
</ul> |
