Installation

While this manual contains Linux-specific instructions, CORE is capable of running on other web servers, such as IIS. Currently CORE can only be installed through command line operations.

Requirements

  • Running web server. This can be local or on the internet

  • CakePHP 1.3.x (tested up to 13) in the same directory where CORE will reside, named cakephp. Example:

    /var/www/core
/var/www/cakephp

  • MySQL Server

  • PHP >= 5.2.x

Downloading CORE and CakePHP

CORE makes use of other open source software. Because of this, the easiest way to install it is to install it by cloning with git. This will ensure that all dependencies are downloaded as well. Start by cloning both CORE and CakePHP:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/rockharbor/core.git core
$ git clone https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp.git cakephp
$ cd cakephp
$ git checkout 1.3.11

Configuration

There is some basic configuration to CORE you will need to make when you first install.

  1. Rename the config/core.php.default to config/core.php
  2. Change the salt value in config/core.php
  3. Rename the config/database.php.default to config/database.php
  4. Change the username/password/database values in config/database.php

5. Make sure MySQL is running and create the database you configured in config/database.php

Install default application data

Note

In order to run the installer, you must have CakePHP's bake running.

To install the default data and initialize the upload directories, run the following bake commands:

$ cake install install
$ cake media init

After installing the default data, an admin user will be created. The username is 'admin' and the password is 'password'.

Other server configuration

CORE needs some directories writable, for cache and uploads. You will need to make sure the tmp and webroot/media/transfer directories are writeable.

To reduce server load and improve the user experience when sending large amounts of emails, CORE uses a CRON job to send emails in groups. In order to send email you will need to set up a CRON job (or Scheduled Task). The command to call is:

$ cake -app "/var/www/core" queue_sender send
