Installation.
To install H-Sphere, you need to perform the following steps:
- Download the installation scripts. They are available
at our site at
http://www.psoft.net/shiv/HS209/HS209n.tgz
- untar/ungzip the HS209n.tgz archive:
# tar xfz ./HS209n.tgz
and cd into the installation directory:
# cd ./HS209
- Execute the following command:
# ./configure
The script asks you to add the installation data in the
interactive mode.
- H-Sphere domain name: specify the main H-Sphere
domain name for your admin control panel and the login page,
i.e. mydomain.com
- Main CP Postgrsql: specify the main H-Sphere DB
required data:
1. server name (cp.mydomain.com)
2. server IP (the CP server IP)
3. CP Postgresql user (the DB user which will be created
and configured by the installation scripts, use "wwwuser"
for this purpose)
4. CP Postgresql password (passowrd for this DB user, you
can specify any to your liking, it will be assigned to this
user)
5. CP IP (the CP server ip, it can be the same IP; if the
H-Sphere DB is placed on an additional server, the access
to the postgresql server from this IP will be allowed).
* H-Sphere is installed as 2.09 version then it is
upgraded to 2.097 version (step 1) then to 2.1 version
(step 2).
If you have any problems with it, please describe them,
we'll be glad to help you.
- When the data have been entered, type
# make build
As the result, the directories "serverN" will be created
for each H-Sphere server (N - number of the server).
Further steps must be repeated with each H-Sphere box:
- Move the "serverN" directory to the target server.
- cd into this directory
- Type make build.
- Type make preinstall. This will run Linux resource
check, users creation and installation of the DBs packages).
- Type make hs-install. This will run H-Sphere
RPMs installation and postconfiguration.
Note: the "make" command returns a quick help.
The needed RPMs will be downloaded from the www.psoft.net site
in the installation process. You can download them once and
then change the "http://www.psoft.net/shiv/HS209" URL to the
one with downloads in the HS209/src/hsphere.[OS].conf file.
("[OS]" is one of the following: rh62, rh71, rh72, mdk81 )
Note: If you get an error saying, the package can't
be installed because it conflicts with the package already
installed, you should delete the conflicting package and repeat
the installation step again.
Note: If you have several servers, make sure to install
the server with the H-Sphere Control Panel in the end.
Postinstallation note
When the installation is finished, H-Sphere Control Panel
will be available at http://_IP_OF_HSphere_CP_:8080
The current version of H-Sphere contains the SiteStudio site builder,
you can install it additionally. To do it, cd to the serverN directory
which contain the H-Sphere Control panel installation scripts and
execute the following command:
# make ss-install
Mind that this installation doesn't contain:
- the Xvfb package installation and startup and
- the ImageMaker startup.
You need to install the Xvfb package manually and start it:
# /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb ':0' -screen 0 100x100x8 &
(this example uses the 0th screen)
While the Xvfb is running, you can start the ImageMaker daemon:
# /hsphere/shared/SiteStudio/imaker.sh 1>/hsphere/shared/SiteStudio/var/error_log
2>&1 &
Also, you may need to add these strings into the server startup.
