[edit] Before You Install

1. Ensure your server has the required software versions. The lastest version of each should suffice. Below are the minimum requirements 

  a) PHP >= 4.0, available at http://php.net
  b) MySQL >= 4.0, available at http://mysql.org
  c) Apache >= 1.3, available at http://apache.org


2. Required settings for PHP in php.ini 

  safe_mode = Off             ;Need this to be able to write uploaded files to disk 
  ;open_basedir =             ;This needs to be commented out, to be able to write uploaded files to disk
  file_uploads = On           ;So file uploads work
  max_execution_time = 600    ;Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds.
  upload_max_filesize = 500M  ;Maximum file upload size
  short_open_tag = On         ;So that PHP can recognize regular php tages as well as the short tags

[edit] Installing Epiware

1. Download the latest version of Epiware from http://epiware.com

2. Extract the files from the archive 

  tar xfz Epiware_4.x.x.tar.gz

3. Change into the directory created 

  cd Epiware_4.x.x

4. Run the install script. This will create the directory /storage. Note that you must be root to run the install script. 

  ./install

5. Create the MySQL database and tables 

  mysql -u root -p < epi/project_db.sql

6. Edit the Epiware configuration file, most of the defaults should work. The configuration file is located at epi/config.inc.php

7. Copy the epi folder into your htdocs or web directory in Apache 

  cp -r epi /usr/local/apache/htdocs

8. Make sure to change ownership of the htdocs/epi directory so that Apache can read the contents 

  chown -R nobody /usr/local/apache/htdocs/epi

9. Open your web browser, and go to the url for your Epiware installation and login.
