+ Installing OpenSRF 1.0.7 + Evergreen software is integrated with and depends on the Open Service Request Framework (OpenSRF) software system. For further information on installing, configuring and testing OpenSRF, see . + Follow the steps outlined in that section and run the specified tests to ensure that OpenSRF is properly installed and configured. Do not continue with any further Evergreen installation steps until you have verified that OpenSRF has been successfully installed. +
+
+ Download and Unpack Evergreen Version 1.4.0.6 + As the opensrf user, download and extract the latest version of Evergreen. The latest version can be found here: +
+ Commands to download and unpack Evergreen + + $ su - opensrf + $ wget http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/Evergreen-ILS-1.4.0.6.tar.gz + $ tar zxf Evergreen-ILS-1.4.0.6.tar.gz + +

+
+
+ Update the System Dynamic Library Path + As the root user, you must update the system dynamic library path to make your system recognize the newly installed libraries. Do this by creating the new file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/eg.conf containing two new library paths, then run the command ldconfig to automatically read the file and modify the system dynamic library path: +

+
+ Restart the PostgreSQL Server + If PostgreSQL is running on the same system as the rest of Evergreen, as the root user you must restart the PostgreSQL server to avoid a problem where the library plperl.so cannot be found. If your PostgreSQL server is running on another system, just skip this step. +
+ Commands to restart PostgreSQL server + + $ su - root + $ /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 restart + +

+
+
+ Copy the OpenSRF Configuration Files + As the root user, copy the example OpenSRF configuration files into place. This replaces the configuration files that you set up in a previous step when you installed and tested OpenSRF. You should also create backup copies of the old files for troubleshooting purposes.

+
+
+ Create Database Schema + As the root user, create the database schema and configure your system with the corresponding database authentication details for the evergreen database user that you created in the previous step. + Enter the following commands and replace HOSTNAME, PORT, PASSWORD and DATABASENAME with appropriate values. +
+ Commands to create Evergreen database schema + + $ su - root + $ cd /home/opensrf/Evergreen-ILS-1.4.0.6 + $ perl Open-ILS/src/support-scripts/eg_db_config.pl --update-config \ + --service all --create-schema --create-bootstrap --create-offline \ + --hostname HOSTNAME --port PORT \ + --user evergreen --password PASSWORD --database DATABASENAME + +
+ Where, on most systems, HOSTNAME will be localhost, PORT will be 5432, and PASSWORD and DATABASENAME will be those assigned when PostgreSQL was installed in the previous step. + + + If you are entering the above command on a single line, do not include the \ (backslash) characters. If you are using the bash shell, these should only be used at the end of a line at a bash prompt to indicate that the command is continued on the next line. + + +

+ This will install a number of packages on the system that are required by OpenSRF, including some Perl modules from CPAN. You can say No to the initial CPAN configuration prompt to allow it to automatically configure itself to download and install Perl modules from CPAN. The CPAN installer will ask you a number of times whether it should install prerequisite modules - say Yes. +
+
+ Configure OpenSRF + As the opensrf user, return to the OpenSRF build directory and use the configure utility to prepare for the next step of compiling and linking the software. You can include the and configuration options if you wish to include support for Python and Java, respectively: +

+ Define Public and Private OpenSRF Domains + Define your public and private OpenSRF domains. For security purposes, OpenSRF uses Jabber domains to separate services into public and private realms. Throughout these instructions, we will use the example domains public.localhost for the public domain and private.localhost for the private domain. On a single-server system, the easiest way to define public and private domains is to define separate host names by adding entries to the file /etc/hosts. + As the root user, edit the file /etc/hosts and add the following entries for our example domains: +
+ Example public and private domains in /etc/hosts + + 127.0.1.2 public.localhost public + 127.0.1.3 private.localhost private + +

+ Define Public and Private OpenSRF Domains + Define your public and private OpenSRF domains. For security purposes, OpenSRF uses Jabber domains to separate services into public and private realms. Throughout these instructions, we will use the example domains public.localhost for the public domain and private.localhost for the private domain. On a single-server system, the easiest way to define public and private domains is to define separate host names by adding entries to the file /etc/hosts. + As the root user, edit the file /etc/hosts and add the following entries for our example domains: +
