Install a new server
Install a new server Organic Design procedure |
Download and install Debian
If the server has no OS then download and install Debian first. Depending on the kind of access you have to the server, the following links may be of interest here:
Setting up the software environment
Bring the system up to date and install the organicdesign-server package:
echo "deb http://packages.organicdesign.co.nz main/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install organicdesign-server
You will have a functioning server and LAMP environment.
You may want to then unpack an FS template or backup into /var/www and begin setting up server-specific configuration:
- /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- /etc/crontab
- /var/www/extensions/wikia.php
- /var/www/domains
- /var/www/wikis
- /var/www/backup.pl
You may need to set up email Configure mail server
Setting up the Wikia file structure
Either copy the /var/www directory structure from an existing wikia installation (excluding the specific content from the domains and wikis directories). Alternatively, unpack a recent www-yyyy-mm-dd.tgz backup into /var/www and remove specific wiki content.
7za x www-yyyy-mm-dd-tgz tar -xf www.tar /var
Domain names
Adjust the names of the symlinks in the /var/www/domains directory to local domain names and ensure that those names are added to the /etc/hosts file.
ln /etc/apache2/sites-available/default vhosts
Extracting Databases from a Backup
Extract the most recent database backup (this may overwrite existing databases of the same names)
7za x all-yyyy-mm-dd.sql.7z mysql -u root -p < all.sql # Flush privileges mysqladmin -u root -p flush-privileges
