Linux (Ubuntu) Installation - 3.1
Getting Ready
Here are a list of packages you need installed on your system before you install the iHRIS Suite. First we make sure the appropriate Ubuntu packages are installed:
sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-prefork-dev mysql-server mysql-client php5 php5-cli php5-gd php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 php-pear
There are some optional packages you may wish to install:
sudo apt-get install php5-gd php5-tidy
which are used to for inserting images into PDF output of reports and for exporting XML files in a nicely formatted manner
Downloading
Database Setup
If you have never used mysql on your system, you will need to set the 'root' password for mysql:
mysqladmin -u root password XXXX
where you replace XXXX with your password.
Next, you will need to create a user and one or more databases for installation of the iHRIS Suite. You can do this by hand, or you can do it using phpmyadmin, which we will do now:
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
Open up your favorite browser and go to:
http://localhost/phpmyadmin
login with the user 'root' and password that you set above.
