Next Steps After Installation, Debian Specific

Next-Steps

After following:

Debian Installation Instructions

Documentation
nano /usr/share/doc/openacs|dotlrn/README.daemontools on openacs package.

apt-get install daemontools daemontools-run

 

 

# OpenACS
nano /etc/default/openacs

... or ...

 

# .LRN
nano /etc/default/dotlrn       

 

 

 

 

# OpenACS
/etc/init.d/openacs stop

   ... or ...
 

# .LRN
/etc/init.d/dotlrn stop

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

# OpenACS
ln -s /usr/share/openacs/etc/daemontools /etc/service/openacs

... or ...
 

# .LRN
 
    

ln -s /usr/share/dotlrn/etc/daemontools /etc/service/dotlrn

Now you can control the dotlrn service using the svc command:
* To start the service: svc -u /etc/service//openacs or dotlrn
* To stop the service: svc -d /etc/service//openacs or dotlrn
* To restart the service: svc -t /etc/service/openacs or dotlrn
 

apt-get remove --purge openacs or dotlrn

 

 

 

apt-get install openacs or dotlrn

 

 

Edit the config.tcl file:
nano /etc/openacs|dotlrn/config.tcl

Change the following parameters to fit your needs:
set hostname Your hostname
set address to Your public IP

 

 

 

 

 

and found that I had to figure out how to:

 

su - $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME
pg_dump -f /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/database-backup/before_upgrade_to_4.6.dmp openacs-dev
ls -al /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/database-backup/before_upgrade_to_4.6.dmp
exit

 

The $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME
which I thought would be "dotlrn"
turned out to be "www-data"

Next I found there was no /var/lib/aolserver but there are /var/lib/dotlrn and /var/lib/postgresql

The default paths show the locations that were decided upon (in early 2004) so below we will try to document were things are in a standard dotlrn installation, now.

 

a work in progress
OpenACS service	dotlrn
OpenACS service account	www-data
OpenACS database name	dotlrn
SERVERROOT	/usr/share/dotlrn/www
Database backup directory	/var/backups/
