Update:Remora Server Requirements

Server Software

• Cake requirements
  • Apache 2.0 w/ mod_rewrite
  • PHP4 >= 4.3.2 (PHP5 does not work with our settings)
  • RDBMS (MySQL, PostgreSL)
• Remora-specific requirements (for l10n, mostly)
  • gettext
  • Archive_Zip-beta

Installation

Main Site

Apache

• Set your DocumentRoot for the main site:

DocumentRoot /opt/yourpath/site/app/webroot

• Either make sure you AllowOverride for .htaccess files, or copy the .htaccess files to the vhost.conf -- they are in site/, site/app/ and site/app/webroot/

SVN, DB and app config

• Check out the site from trunk (for now):

svn co http://svn.mozilla.org/addons/trunk/ /opt/yourpath

• Set up the 'remora' and 'remora-test' databases and grant all privs for those DB's to a user:

mysql -p -D remora < site/app/config/sql/remora.sql
mysql -p -D remora < site/app/tests/data/remora-test-data.sql
mysql -p -D remora-test < site/app/config/sql/remora.sql
mysql -p -D remora-test < site/app/tests/data/remora-test-data.sql

• Set up your database config:

cp site/app/config/database.php.default site/app/config/database.php

• Enter the correct database information and you're ready to go -- you can use the same db for default and testing for now.

CRON

• Repulls and reinserts 'remora' database contents every 1 hour
• Repulls and reinserts 'remora-test' database contents every 15 minutes
• Auto-updates all code from / all the way down every 15 minutes

Services

Apache

• Set up a vhost for the services directory

Config

• Copy config-dist.php to config.php and add the same database info as with the main site.

Permissions

The following directories (and all subdirectories and files) need to be writable by apache:

• app/webroot/files
• app/tests/data

Configuration

Copy app/config/database.php.default to app/config/database.php and modify the default and test databases to be your database, but for the test database use a user with read-only privileges. To create a user with read-only privileges, execute this SQL command after replacing {variables}:

GRANT SELECT ON {database} TO '{username}'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '{password}';

First, import app/config/remora.sql - this provides the schema and standard data for langs, translations, and addontypes.

Then, import app/tests/remora-test-data.sql - this inserts more complete test data. Currently, addon id 7(MicroFarmer) is most complete.

Installation Test

If the installation is successful, all of the tests should pass in the installation test. The installation test can be found by going to ROOT/tests?case=installation.test.php where ROOT might be http://addons.mozilla.org
