+Installing prerequisites
+------------------------
Evergreen has a number of prerequisite packages that must be installed
before you can successfully configure, compile, and install Evergreen.
-1. Begin by installing the most recent version of OpenSRF (2.0 or later).
+1. Begin by installing the most recent version of OpenSRF (2.1 or later).
You can download OpenSRF releases from http://evergreen-ils.org/opensrf.php
2. On many distributions, it is necessary to install PostgreSQL 9 from external
repositories.
add-apt-repository ppa:pitti/postgresql
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
- * Fedora 15 comes with PostgreSQL 9, so no additional steps are required.
+ * Ubuntu Precise comes with PostgreSQL 9, so no additional steps are required.
++
+ * Fedora comes with PostgreSQL 9, so no additional steps are required.
+
3. On Debian and Ubuntu, run `aptitude update` as the *root* Linux account to
retrieve the new packages from the backports repository.
4. Issue the following commands as the *root* Linux account to install
prerequisites using the `Makefile.install` prerequisite installer,
- substituting `debian-squeeze`, `fedora15`, `ubuntu-lucid`, `centos`, or
- `rhel` for <osname> below:

[source, bash]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make -f Open-ILS/src/extras/Makefile.install <osname>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
-[NOTE]
-`centos` and `rhel` are less tested than the `debian`, `fedora`,
-and `ubuntu` options. Your patches and suggestions for improvement are
-welcome!

5. Add the libdbi-libdbd libraries to the system dynamic library path by
issuing the following commands as the *root* Linux account:
+
-.Debian / Ubuntu
+[NOTE]
+You should skip this step if installing on Ubuntu Precise. The ubuntu-precise
+target uses libdbd-pgsql from packages.

1. Once you have configured and compiled Evergreen, issue the following
command as the *root* Linux account to install Evergreen, build the server

2. The server portion of the staff client expects `http://hostname/xul/server`
ln -sf rel_name/server server

# Now set up SSL
a. Replace `Allow from 10.0.0.0/8` with `Allow from all` (to enable
access to the offline upload / execute interface from any workstation on
any network - note that you must secure this for a production instance)
+ b. (Fedora): Change references from the non-existent `/etc/apache2/` directory
+ to `/etc/httpd/`.
4. Change the user for the Apache server.
* (Debian and Ubuntu): As the *root* Linux account, edit
`/etc/apache2/envvars`. Change `export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data` to
</IfModule>

+Configure OpenSRF for the Evergreen application

There are a number of example OpenSRF configuration files in `/openils/conf/`
that you can use as a template for your Evergreen installation. Issue the
following commands as the *opensrf* Linux account:
[source, bash]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-cp /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml.example /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml
-cp /openils/conf/opensrf.xml.example /openils/conf/opensrf.xml
+cp -b /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml.example /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml
+cp -b /openils/conf/opensrf.xml.example /openils/conf/opensrf.xml
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you installed OpenSRF, you created four Jabber users on two
Evergreen version of the `opensrf_core.xml` file using the same Jabber users
and domains as you used while installing and testing OpenSRF.
+[NOTE]
+The `-b` flag tells the `cp` command to create a backup version of the
+destination file. The backup version of the destination file has a tilde (`~`)
+appended to the file name, so if you have forgotten the Jabber users and
+domains, you can retrieve the settings from the backup version of the files.
+
`eg_db_config.pl`, described in the following section, sets the database
connection information in `opensrf.xml` for you.

Creating the database on a remote server
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a production instance of Evergreen, your PostgreSQL server should be
-installed on a dedicated server. For PostgreSQL 9.1 and later you should be
-able to continue to use the --create-database flag on eg_db_config.pl, without
-needing to install any server modules on your application machine. For
-PostgreSQL 9.0 you can either:
+installed on a dedicated server.
+
+PostgreSQL 9.1 and later
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To create the database instance on a remote database server running PostgreSQL
+9.1 or later, simply use the `--create-database` flag on `eg_db_config.pl`.
+
+For PostgreSQL 9.0
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To create the database instance on a remote database server running PostgreSQL
+9.0, you can either:
* Install the PostgreSQL contrib modules on the machine on which you
- are installing the Evergreen code, and use the --create-database
+ are installing the Evergreen code, and use the `--create-database`
option from that machine, or
* Copy the `Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/create_database.sql` script to your
PostgreSQL server and invoke it as the *postgres* Linux account:
+
[source, bash]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-psql -vdb_name=<dbname> -vcontrib_dir=`pg_config --sharedir`/contrib
+psql -vdb_name=<dbname> -vcontrib_dir=`pg_config --sharedir`/contrib -f create_database.sql
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then you can issue the `eg_db_config.pl` command as above _without_ the
+
[source, bash]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-osrf_ctl.sh -l -a start_all</code>
+osrf_ctl.sh -l -a start_all
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
** If you receive the error message `bash: osrf_ctl.sh: command not found`,
for assistance before making any drastic changes to your system
configuration.
