In this topic goes everything related to configuring the server for surveying.

• Basic server setup:*
• Apache
• PHP 4.4 or higher
• Database: mysql

• First setup steps:*
• Establish the location of the htdocs directory for surveys. Also create a non_public folder.
• Configure mysql for usage: setup mysql root access and password. Create mysql user for applications. Restrict access to _localhost_.
• Identify and setup a CMS for the website
• Setup survey program

• Things to discuss further:*
• Shall we use CVS for placing everything under the _htdocs_ folder ?

• Updating log with other settings since last comments here*

• 12-10-2005 Made MySQL start/stop on boot*

1. Edited startup file: S50mysql.server

• Changed basedir and default variables to point to the current mysql files and data
• basedir=[/folder/here/] -> folder where mysql /bin and /sbin subfoders are located
• datadir= -> to point to the current data directory
• bindir= -> actually pointed it to mysql's /sbin directory as there is the startup program located
• bindir="$basedir/sbin"

2. created my.cnf file in /etc containing:

[server] basedir=[/folder/here/] -> folder where mysql /bin and /sbin subfoders are located

3. copied S50mysql.server file to /etc/init.d

4. copy my_print_defaults to /bin

• cp /usr/sfw/bin/my_print_defaults /bin

5. 5. Symlink S50mysql.server file to startup and shutdown services folders:

• ln /etc/init.d/S50mysql.server /etc/rc3.d/S99mysql
• ln /etc/init.d/S50mysql.server /etc/rc0.d/K01mysql
