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 *
