4 <title>Server-side Installation of Evergreen Software</title>
\r
6 <para>This section describes installation of the Evergreen server-side software and its associated components. Installation, configuration, testing and verification
\r
7 of the software is straightforward if you follow some simple directions.</para>
\r
10 <para>Installing, configuring and testing the Evergreen server-side software is straightforward with the current stable software release. See
\r
11 <xref linkend="serversideinstallation-all"/> for instructions tailored to installing on some particular distributions of the <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem>
\r
12 operating system. Earlier software distributions are described in <xref linkend="serversideinstallation-previousversions"/>.</para>
\r
13 <para>The current version of the Evergreen server-side software runs as a native application on any of several well-known <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem>
\r
14 distributions (e.g., <systemitem class="osname">Ubuntu</systemitem> and <systemitem class="osname">Debian</systemitem>). It does not currently run as a native application
\r
15 on the <systemitem class="osname">Microsoft Windows</systemitem> operating system (e.g., <systemitem class="osname">WindowsXP</systemitem>,
\r
16 <systemitem class="osname">WindowsXP Professional</systemitem>, <systemitem class="osname">Windows7</systemitem>), but the software can still be installed and run on
\r
17 <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> via a so-called <emphasis>virtualized</emphasis> Linux-guest Operating System (using, for example,
\r
18 <application>"VirtualBox"</application>, or <application>"VMware"</application>, or <application>"VirtualPC"</application> to emulate a
\r
19 <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> environment). It can also be installed to run on other <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> systems via virtualized
\r
20 environments (using, for example, <application>"VirtualBox"</application> or <application>"VMware"</application>). More information on virtualized environments can be
\r
21 found in <xref linkend="serversideinstallation-virtual"/>.</para>
\r
22 <para>Installation of the Evergreen Staff Client software is reviewed in <xref linkend="serversideinstallation-staffclient"/>. </para>
\r
23 <para>The Evergreen server-side software has dependencies on particular versions of certain major software sub-components. Successful installation of Evergreen
\r
24 software requires that software versions agree with those listed here:</para>

\r
59 <para>This section describes the installation of the major components of Evergreen server-side software.</para>
\r
60 <para>As far as possible, you should perform the following steps in the exact order given since the success of many steps relies on the successful completion of earlier steps. You
\r
61 should make backup copies of files and environments when you are instructed to do so. In the event of installation problems those copies can allow you to back out of a step gracefully
\r
62 and resume the installation from a known state. See <xref linkend="backingup"/> for further information.</para>
\r
63 <para>Of course, after you successfully complete and test the entire Evergreen installation you should take a final snapshot backup of your system(s). This can be the first in
\r
64 the series of regularly scheduled system backups that you should probably also begin.</para>

196 <title>Define Public and Private OpenSRF Domains</title>

198 Throughout these instructions, we will use the example domains <systemitem class="domainname">public.localhost</systemitem> for the public domain and
\r
199 <systemitem class="domainname">private.localhost</systemitem> for the private domain. On a single-server system, the easiest way to define public and

200 private domains is to define separate host names by adding entries to the file <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>.</para>

980 <title>Installing In Virtualized <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> Environments</title>
\r
981 <para>This section describes the installation of Evergreen software in so-called "virtualized" software environments. Evergreen software runs as a native application on any of several well-known x86 (32-bit) and x86-64 (64-bit) <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> distributions including <systemitem class="osname">Ubuntu</systemitem> and <systemitem class="osname">Debian</systemitem> but it does not run as a native application on the <systemitem class="osname">Microsoft Windows</systemitem> operating system. However, it is possible to execute Evergreen on a <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> host system by running it within a virtual Linux-guest installation, which itself executes on the <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> system. The <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> environment is fully emulated and acts (within limits) just as if it were executing on a real standalone system.</para>
\r
982 <para>This technique of emulating a <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> environment on a <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> host is a practical way to install and run an Evergreen system if it is not possible to dedicate a physical machine solely as a <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> host for Evergreen. This architecture is not recommended for large scale systems since there are performance limitations to running Evergreen in a virtualized environment. However, it is a reasonable architecture for smaller experimental systems, as a proof of concept, or as a conference-room pilot.</para>
\r
984 <title>Installing Virtualization Software</title>
\r
985 <para>As described above, Evergreen can be installed on top of an emulated <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> environment.

This section contains step-by-step examples that show installing popular virtualization applications on a <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> host system.

1279 <title>Manually install <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> and Evergreen</title>
\r
1280 <para>You can manually install a <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> guest system and Evergreen on your virtualization software.</para>
\r
1281 <para>We recommend this approach if you need to specially configure either the <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> system or Evergreen itself. This will require a detailed review of both <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> and Evergreen configuration details. You are essentially doing a normal Evergreen installation on a <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> system; it just happens that <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> is running within a virtualized environment. Refer to <xref linkend="serversideinstallation-ubuntudebian"/> for information on the normal Evergreen installation, then continue with this section.</para>
\r
1282 <para>For the following example, we have already installed the <application>VirtualBox</application> application (see <xref linkend="serversideinstallation-virtual-vbox-install"/> for details). Continue with the steps as shown; refer to the accompanying figures for further information:</para>

\r
1311 <para>At this point, the <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> system is hosting an <systemitem class="osname">Ubuntu</systemitem> system, which itself is hosting the Evergreen distribution. So far as Evergreen is concerned, it is happily executing in a standard <systemitem class="osname">Ubuntu</systemitem> environment and behaves exactly as if it were executing on a standalone <systemitem class="osname">Ubuntu</systemitem> system.</para>
\r
1312 <para>Of course, there are limitations to how well a virtualized <systemitem class="osname">Ubuntu</systemitem> system emulates a real one. The <application>"VirtualBox"</application> application itself consumes memory, and it contributes to the CPU load on the <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> host system. The emulated <systemitem class="osname">Ubuntu</systemitem> system will have less available memory and will execute more slowly than if it were a standalone system, therefore Evergreen itself will inherit some limitations from this overall environment.</para>
\r
1313 <para>However, this technique of using a <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> host to emulate a <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> environment is a practical way to install and run an Evergreen system even if it isn't possible to dedicate a real machine solely as a <systemitem class="osname">Linux</systemitem> host for testing. This is a reasonable architecture for simple experiments, or as a proof of concept, or as a conference-room pilot.</para>
