CS469/569 Assignment #9 - 10 of 11 points
Time to make sure your web server is setup and install some web services on your
virtual machine (ssh to cs469@u## from CS/Effie):
Tasks to be performed:
0) (0pts) Setup the Apache HTTP server. This task should have been completed in
H7, please see me if you need help with this task. Make your web server
start on boot (i.e. make /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd executable) and configure
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf to use /net/web as its document root directory
(Note: Do NOT change the "server root" directory) and enable PHP, making sure
that index.php is accepted as a default web page in addition to index.html.
Make a test index.php file in /net/web and verify that your web server is
working by browsing to:
http://effie.indstate.edu:469##/
-- index.php --
<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>
-- index.php --
Or you may use the text based "lynx" browser:
> lynx http://localhost/info.php
1) (1pt) Add an entry in /etc/hosts (man 5 hosts) for your machine in the
following format:
<ip-address> <host-name>.indstate.edu <host-name>
Substitute <ip-address> and <host-name> for your machines IP address (use
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 to find it) and host-name respectively (should be u## by
now)
2) (2pts) Get the drupal tar-ball (in effie:/net/soft/) and extract/install it
into your web area as /net/web/drupal. (read 'man tar' for information on how
to extract a tar archive.) It should not have the version number on the
directory name, so you will have to rename it after extracting it.
Note: do NOT do any installation scripts at this point - just get the files
extracted to /net/web/drupal, and check the core/INSTALL.txt file for what
is needed as a mysql user and database, then move on to number 3).
3) (2pts) Create a MySQL database for your Drupal installation and an associated
account w/ password for it. L:ook in core/INSTALL.mysql.txt for what is needed.
Note: the mysqladmin command listed in INSTALL.mysql.txt did not work for me,
so I instead used the following sequence of commands...
mysql # run as root, to start mysql
create user # and choose what the username will be, and give it a password
create database # choose what the database name will be
GRANT # get the precise command from core/INSTALL.mysql.txt and make
# sure to grant for localhost
flush privileges;
4) (2pts) Finish the Drupal installation. (browse to
http://effie.indstate.edu:469##/drupal/ and follow the online instructions)
Note: read ahead in the core/INSTALL.txt problem about problems that may
happen and how to fix them. I did the following to fix a few of them...
Use setfacl to give the user apache rwx permission to /net/web/drupal,
by setting the permission and default permissions for that directory,
and using the -R option
Search /etc/httpd/httpd.conf for .htaccess and set AllowOverride there to All
Search /etc/httpd/httpd.conf for mod_rewrite and uncomment that LoadModule
Restart the httpd daemon (in /etc/rc.d).
If you get mysql permission problems, you may need to grant all privileges
to your drupal user on your drupal database on localhost.
When it asks for an email address in the drupal installation, you can use
cs469##@cs.indstate.edu
For the admin drupal username, use drupal_u##
You can check your cs469## email on cs using pine, or you can forward it
to your @sycamores.indstate.edu by editing ~/.forward and putting your
email address in that file.
Note that the installation could run for an hour or so, so make sure to start
it when your computer can stay in one place and connected to the internet
for a while.
5) (1pt) Get the mediawiki tar-ball (in effie:/net/soft/) and extract/install it
into your web area as /net/web/wiki. It should not have the version number on
the directory name, so you will have to rename it after extracting it.
Note - do not do any more installation before setting up the wiki database
and username.
6) (1pt) Create a MySQL database for your wiki installation and an associated
account w/ password for it.
Note: you may need to grant all privileges to the database to the wiki database
user, and you may need to flush privileges.
7) (2pts) Finish the wiki installation
(browse to http://effie.indstate.edu:469##/wiki/)
For the email address, when asked, use cs469##@cs.indstate.edu
Note that the installation could run for an hour or so, so make sure to start
it when your computer can stay in one place and connected to the internet
for a while.
Note that when the installation is almost complete, it saves LocalSettings.php
to your computer. You need to transfer it to your u## machine in the
directory /net/web/wiki/, and you need to make it so the apache user
can read/execute it (using setfacl).
#####
Things I will do to make sure you have done things right...
For each of the below, ## is your 469 number (11 for me).
0)
In my browser, I will browse to
effie.indstate.edu:469##
1)
ping u##
ping u##.indstate.edu
Both of the above should work when logged in to your system, after you have completed problem 1.
2)
ls /net/web/drupal
3)
mysql
show databases; # and I should see one that looks from the name like you plan
# to use it with drupal
select user from mysql.user; # should see a user that looks from the name like
# plan to use with with drupal;
show grants for DRUPAL_USER on DRUPAL_DB; # substituting in your drupal user and db names
4) Browse to
https://effie.indstate.edu:469##/drupal
5)
ls /net/web/wiki/
6)
Similar to checking for the drupal database user and database
7)
Browse to
https://effie.indstate.edu:469##/wiki
ls -l /net/web/wiki/*.php
