Installation Instructions

This document is intended to provide an overview of installing WebBuilder2. For addtional information, see the GettingStartedGuide.

Initial Setup

WebBuilder2 requires the following be installed and running successfully:

• PhP
• ApacheWebServer
• MySQL
• ...

On a Windows machine, there are a number of easy to use, automated installation programs that will install and setup PHP, MySQL and Apache. One such installer is offered from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html.

Aquire and Setup the WebBuilder? Package

As menitioned elsewhere, after your AMP setup has been installed and you've verified it's running properly, you'll need to get the WebBuilder2 source (see DocGettingCode).

From a linux box, you could do the following:

wget http://oss.backendmedia.com/snapshots/current.zip
unzip current.zip

Then move the resulting webbuilder2 directory so that only the www directory within is accessable via the public html dir. Modify your vhosts setting accordingly as otherwise people will be able to read your configuration files.

From that point, visit http://yourdomain. You will be presented with the installation screen.

At the top of the page, you may see a few permission errors, these directories should be made readable/writeable by the webserver user (apache under a default install).

chmod 775 webbuilder2
chmod 775 webbuilder2/configs
chmod 775 webbuilder2/cache
chmod 775 webbuilder2/schema

After the directories, you'll need to provide the installer with a variety of information such as database type (mysql, postgres, etc.), db username and password, host and what database to use. The installer will also optionally create a database (and prepopulate it with sample application data) if requested.
