SourceForge Description

SourceForge: Breaking Down the Barriers to Open Source Development SourceForge is a free service to Open Source developers offering easy access to the best in CVS, mailing lists, task management, message boards/forums, site hosting, permanent file archival, bug tracking, full backups, and total web-based administration.Installation instructions:Creating the MySQL database (assuming MySQL version >= 3.22.25)1) Install MySQL from http://www.mysql.com/2) Choose a database name (let's say 'sourceforge' for the rest of this document). mysql -e "create database sourceforge"3) Create the tables. mysql sourceforge < db/SourceForge.sql Configuring Apache with SSL (assuming Apache version >= 1.3.9 openssl version >= 0.9.4 mod_ssl version >= 2.4.10-1.3.9)The best starting point is http://www.modssl.org/. There is verylittle chance that your installed Apache server contains SSL, you'llhave to recompile and reinstall. I highly recommend to install Apacheit in a non-standard place. It won't interfere with your workingApache, if any. And, more important, the installation process will install sample configuration files instead of keeping them in thesource directory because you already have some installed. 1) Install openssl2) Configure mod_ssl3) Install ApacheConfiguring Apache with PHP (assuming Apache version >= 1.3.9 and php version >= 4.0)1) Create a file in the Apache document root named phpinfo.php echo '< ? phpinfo(); ? >' > .../phpinfo.php Try to load it with your browser using http://localhost/phpinfo.php. If it shows an HTML page you already have php installed.If the page shown contains the word MySQL you have php compiled with MySQL support.If you see the page and find MySQL in it, you're finished with this chapter. Otherwise proceed to the following steps.2) Make sure php4 is compiled in (note - SourceForge no longer works with php3).Try to access http://localhost/server-info and search for php. If it's found somewhere in the page, the php module is available. If http://localhost/server-info does not work add the following lines to the access.conf file: # # Allow remote server configuration reports, with the URL of # http://servername/server-info (requires that mod_info.c be loaded). # Change the ".your_domain.com" to match your domain to enable. # < Location /server-info > SetHandler server-info Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost < /Location > If you did not find php you'll have to recompile it yourself. See http://www.php.net/ and remember that you must re-compile php with MySQL support.3) Activate php. In order to activate php the following lines must be found in the httpd.conf file: LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so AddModule mod_php.c4) Enable index.php as a directory index in srm.conf. DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.cgi index.php5) Add .php extension to srm.conf. AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps 6) Try loading http://localhost/phpinfo.php again.Configuring php and Apache for SourceForge1) Change the DocumentRootSince some scripts assume that the document root starts at the www directory, just say that the document root is this directory.In srm.confDocumentRoot /home/loic/local/ports/alexandria/wwwIn access.conf substitute/clone the block for the new document root.2) Type the URL http://localhost/ in your navigator.You should see an error message like this:Fatal error: Failed opening required 'pre.php' in /home/httpd/html/sf/index.php on line 9 meaning that Apache is properly configured as far as php is concerned.3) Specify the include path.You must tell php where the include files are. Add the full path to ../alexandria/www/include to the include_path variable of the php.ini file. Something like include_path = /home/php:/home/loic/local/ports/alexandria/www/includeAlternatively you can add the following lines in httpd.conf: < Directory / > php_value include_path "/usr/local/htdocs/alexandria/www/include:." < /Directory >4) Include magic in php.ini.magic_quotes_gpc = On ; magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data magic_quotes_runtime = Off ; magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from SQL, track_vars = On ; enable $HTTP_GET_VARS[], $HTTP_POST_VARS[] and $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[] arrays 5) Restart httpd6) Type the URL http://localhost/ in your navigator. Two things may happen at that point: a) You're redirected to since that's what the library does when you're not using localhost in the URL. b) You see an error message like this:Fatal error: Failed opening required '/etc/local.inc' in database.php on line 11In either cases it means that the pre.php file was found and that the include path is correct. Configuring SourceForge1) Create the /etc/local.inc file with the following: < ?php $sys_dbhost="your_db_host_name"; $sys_dbname = "sourceforge"; $sys_dbuser="user_name"; $sys_dbpasswd="your_password"; $sys_server="mysql"; // // With a trailing / // $sys_urlroot="/path/to/www/doc/root/"; $sys_name="web1"; ? >2) Look at the home page http://localhost/ It should display well.3) Create a user named adminThis user will automatically be assigned server wide administration permissions.
