RCMS INSTALL HOWTO

WILIBOX RCMS Server - Version 1.30


INSTALLING YOUR RCMS SERVER

Become a superuser and run the rcms-1.30-setup.sh script. You will be asked for a directory where RCMS Server will be installed. The default choice is /opt/wilibox, and it is not advised to change it unless there is a reason. This directory will be referred to as <installation_root> further in this document.


ACQUIRING AND INSTALLING A LICENSE KEY

Refer to the accompanying document named LICENSE-HOWTO.txt for detailed instructions on acquiring and installing a license key for your RCMS Server.


STARTING AND/OR STOPPING YOUR RCMS SERVER

As a superuser, invoke "<installation_root>/rcms.sh start" to start the RCMS Server. Similarly, invoke "<installation_root>/rcms.sh stop" to stop the RCMS Server.

Note that Apache web server version 2 and PostgreSQL database server version 7.4 are part of the RCMS Server environment, and are by default configured to listen to their standard TCP/IP ports 80 and 5534, respectively. Make sure there are no other services that use these ports running on your machine before you attempt to start the RCMS Server. Alternatively, you can configure Apache and PostgreSQL server in your RCMS Server environment to listen to other ports.

Once the RCMS Server has started, connect to it by pointing your Web browser to the machine where you installed it. Note that the server will only work with a valid license key, otherwise you will see an error message instructing you to install the key.

If a valid license key is installed, you will be presented with a login prompt.

Log in with username "admin" and password "admin01" (without the double quotes).
IMPORTANT: make sure you change the administrator password as soon as you login. Refer to the RCMS Server User's Manual (available at www.wilibox.com) for further instructions on changing the password.


MANAGING YOUR RCMS SERVER ENVIRONMENT

RCMS Server is a PHP4 Web application, running on Apache v2.0 Web Server. It uses PostgreSQL v7.4 as its database backend. These services, along with cron, run in an isolated chroot'ed environment in <installation_root>.

Therefore, RCMS Server can be managed by editing configuration files for Apache, PHP, PostgreSQL etc. configuration files in
  <installation_root>/etc/apache2
  <installation_root>/etc/php4
  <installation_root>/etc/postgresql/7.4
  <installation_root>/etc/crontab
  ...

A convenient way to manage the RCMS Server is to run a superuser shell in the chroot'ed environment:
# chroot <installation_root> su -

The individual services can then be started and stopped by invoking scripts in /etc/init.d with 'start' and 'stop' arguments, respectively:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
# /etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4 start
etc.


For information on operating the RCMS Server, refer to the RCMS Server User's Manual, which is available at www.wilibox.com.
