h1. ResourceSpace Installation

h2. 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

h2. Database (mysql)

* log into mysql as root user

* create database resourcespace; 

* create user resourcespace 

<pre>CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS resourcespace;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON resourcespace.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';</pre>

h2. Apache config

* No site.conf file is included so we will have to make our own. 

<pre><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>

</pre>

* We should also create .htaccess file in the filestore directory as an added measure

<pre><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 *

</pre>

h2. 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/

<pre><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>

</pre>

h2. 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. 

h2. Cron

* a cron job is required to run background work. 

* #crontab -u www-data -e

* add wget -q -r http://localhost/pages/tools/cron_copy_hitcount.php to run daily

* 1 0 * * * wget -q -r http://localhost/pages/tools/cron_copy_hitcount.php >/dev/null 2>&1

h2. mail setup

* smtp server must be set in the config.php which is located in /var/www/resourcespacedirectory/include/config.php

<pre>$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;

</pre>
