Install notes
Notes for installing kbpublisher as I try to upgrade the editor:
Get the installer from sourceforge [1]
Get CKEditor the improved FKEditor [2]
This howto [3] might be handy.
mysql
Install from YaST for now.
- mysql
- mysql-client
- mysql-tools
- php53-mysql
accept all the automatic additions.
rcmysql start|stop|restart|status
apache
Install apache2 and php5 package via YaST accept that apache2 and apache2-prefork must be installed.
Start on boot
apache locations
Document root: “/srv/www/htdocs” directory: “/srv/www/htdocs” alias “/icons/”, “/usr/share/apache2/icons/” directory: “/usr/share/apache2/icons” ScriptAlias: /cgi-bin/ “srv/www/cgi-bin/” Directory “srv/www/cgi-bin” mod_userdir.c Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf include /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-manual?conf Server Name kbptest Server Admin main root@kbptest
apache commands
rcapache2 start|stop|status
create index.html file in “/srv/www/htdocs”
<HTML> <BODY> HTML Working! </BODY> </HTML>
Make sure that php is installed and the module is toggled on in YaST
php
enable php by installing it from YaST/Software Management
Include PHP5 core files and apache module, but I'm installing everything just to be sure.
command line test:
php -r 'phpinfo();'
I get this far easily. Maybe this will help.
test php file for browser
test php (info.php) which will post info about the php version installed.
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
In case the browser wants to save your php files instead of displaying the content, you should enable php support in the /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf file. Add the following line to it, just after the <Directory /home/*/public_html> line and restart the server. [4]
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf
Success! info.php loads in the browser, of course apache needed restarting at each step.
research items
Maybe more needs to be done. Add the following line to /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf [5]
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/mod_php5.so
Create /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php5
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php4s
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php5s
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Set up Directory Structure
On SLES the web directory is under /srv/www
/srv/www/ - kb_file (for uploads via "Files" module) - htdocs (document root) |- kb |- kb_upload (for uploads via FCK Editor)
notes gleaned from previous attempt
got the vm OS up now to figure out how to install kbp: Installation Steps:
1. Unpack distribution package
2. Place it somewhere in your web-server's document root,
preferably(recommended) the parent directory of your root web directory.
Create directory to store attachments files
We recommend to name it kb_file and place it somewhere outside
your document root directory. It should not be accessible via http (web browser)
The structure of directories should look like this:
- kb_file (for uploads via "Files" module)
- public_html (document root)
|- kb
|- kb_upload (for uploads via FCK Editor)
3. Create an empty MySQL database to be used by KnowledgebasePublisher
3. Create tables using db dump file at kb/install/db_install.sql
To upgrade:
Use DB dump file kb/install/db_upgrade_[version].sql
Read instructions in file.
Do not forget to backup old DB.
5. Configure your "kb/admin/config.inc.php" configuration file
6. Configure your "kb/index.php" and "kb/rss.php" files if required
Normaly it should work without modifications.
7. Give your "kb/admin/cache", "kb_upload" and "kb_file" directory full write permissions.
In unix you can type "chmod 777 cache". On Windows you must go through your webserver to give it write permissions
8. You're done. End user screen will be available at www.your_site.com/kb/
Admin area will be available at www.your_site.com/kb/admin/ Login: admin Password: demo DO NOT FORGET TO CHANGE IT!
9. Go to "Settings" tab to configure settings
Make sure you set correct email address at Setting -> Email
10. Read FAQ file
11. Enjoy
--- 1 had to unzip the package to get to the instructions
2a. need to install http server/apache2 go into yast to do that, mount the os install disk, enable php5
ah useful list Document root: “/srv/www/htdocs” directory: “/srv/www/htdocs” alias “/icons/”, “/usr/share/apache2/icons/” directory: “/usr/share/apache2/icons” ScriptAlias: /cgi-bin/ “srv/www/cgi-bin/” Directory “srv/www/cgi-bin” mod_userdir.c Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf include /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-manual?conf Server Name kbptest Server Admin main root@kbptest no virtual hosts
Start Apache2 Server when booting
2b. moving kbp_204 to /srv/www/htdocs/kbp_204
2c. creating /srv/www/kb_file
2d. creating /srv/www/htdocs/kb_upload
3a. download Mysql 5.5 since that is what we use for Retain
3b install the rpms for server and client
3c set the password: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password ‘gwava’
3d set datadir: mysql_install_db --datadir=/srv/www/htdocs/kbp_204
3e: log into mysql: mysql -u root -p
3f: create database: CREATE DATABASE kbp DEFAULT CHARACTER SET 'utf8' DEFAULT COLLATE 'utf8_bin’;
3g: create kbp mysql user:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kbp.* TO 'kbpadmin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'gwava'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kbp.* TO 'kbpadmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'gwava';
4a: load dump file: mysql -h hostname -u user --password=password databasename < filename
go to /srv/www/htdocs/kbp_204/kbp_204/install_upgrade and load db_install.sql mysql -h hostname -u user --password=password kbp< db_install.sql go into mysql: use kbp; show tables; make sure there are new tables there.
5A install with wizard [8]
5. edit "kb/admin/config.inc.php"
makes changes to match with above, (the docs could be so much better) assuming htdocs/ is document root. only mostly sure about that. adding kb_extras/
6. skipping for now
7. chmoding all those places
8: localhost/kb/ = object not found.
sigh needs php, won’t load. reverting snapshot installing apache2 with php5, perl and python, probably only need php5 but let’s not play with that right now.
back to kbp
starting over, I just need to get it to work.
https://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-onopensuse-12.3-lamp
php5 needs mysql first
but first I need to add a repository
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/SLE_11/
mysql> show tables;
-
Why won’t php work? out of time, rebuild tomorrow.
- Spinning up another VM for kbp with a different version of SLES 11.2 with the most recent date. Hopefully that will work better. kbp just seems to need LAMP, but PHP needs to work then I can get MySQL installed. - a simple html page: (index.html) <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Your Title Here</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="FFFFFF"> <CENTER><IMG SRC="clouds.jpg" ALIGN="BOTTOM"> </CENTER> <HR> <a href="http://somegreatsite.com">Link Name</a> is a link to another nifty site <H1>This is a Header</H1> <H2>This is a Medium Header</H2> Send me mail at <a href="mailto:support@yourcompany.com"> support@yourcompany.com</a>. <P> This is a new paragraph! <P> <B>This is a new paragraph!</B> <BR> <B><I>This is a new sentence without a paragraph break, in bold italics.</I></B> <HR> </BODY> </HTML> - Even simpler: (index.html) <HTML> <BODY> Working! </BODY> </HTML> - for testing php (index.html) <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php phpinfo(); ?> </body> </html> - just php (info.php) which will post info about the php version installed. <?php
phpinfo();
?> - kbp prerequisites are Apache/PHP and MySQL, So before installing vmtools install php since the disk is in place. -
