ResourceSpace Installation

Initial setup

  • The following packages are needed for installation: apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-dev php5-gd php5-mysql imagemagick ghostscript antiword xpdf libav-tools postfix libimage-exiftool-perl cron wget
  • ResourceSpace can be either installed via SVN or via tar.gz. I did it via the point release tar.gz file
  • unpack in /var/www/resourcespace and chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/resourcespace
  • if file storage will be in /var/www/resourcespace create filestore directory if it will be elsewhere create a symlink to the filestore directory

Database (mysql)

  • log into mysql as root user
  • create database resourcespace;
  • create user resourcespace 
    CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS resourcespace;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON resourcespace.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Apache config

  • No site.conf file is included so we will have to make our own. 
    <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName cloud.example.org

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/resourcespace
        <Directory /var/www/resourcespace>
                AllowOverride All
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/resourcespace/filestore>
    Options -Indexes
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    </Directory>

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/resourcespace.error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/resourcespace.access.log combined

SSLCertificateFile /path/to/cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key.key
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
Header always add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000" 
</VirtualHost>
  • We should also create .htaccess file in the filestore directory as an added measure
    <ifModule mod_authz_core.c>
Require all denied
</ifModule>

# line below if for Apache 2.2
<ifModule !mod_authz_core.c>
deny from all
Satisfy All
</ifModule>

# section for Apache 2.2 and 2.4
IndexIgnore *

PhP requirements

  • to fufill php requirements it is best to use .htaccess files
  • you may have to edit the global php.ini file in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
  • create this .htaccess file in /var/www/resourcespace/
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_value SecFilterEngine off
  php_value SecFilterScanPOST off
  php_value memory_limit 512M
  php_value post_max_size 100M
  php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
  php_value short_open_tag off
  </IfModule>

First Run Wizard

  • Now we should be able to open up the url for resourcespace and point resourcespace to the database and user we set
  • set an admin user and password
  • go to admin ---> System installation check to make sure everything is set.

Cron

SMTP

  • smtp server must be set in the config.php which is located in /var/www/resourcespacedirectory/include/config.php
    $email_from = '';
$email_notify = '';
$use_smtp=true;
$smtp_secure='tls';
$smtp_host='';
$smtp_port=587;
$smtp_auth=true;
$smtp_username='';
$smtp_password='';
$use_phpmailer=true;
