Install web-cp 0.6 on Ubuntu 6.06+ Dapper
Warning: DO NOT RUN 0.6 IN PRODUCTION YET
(based on the CentOS4 entry)
- Before you begin
- Read the previous warning, do not install 0.6 unless you know what you are doing. Most likely, you'll want to use these instructions: FedoraCore1
- Run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to ensure that all packages are up to date.
- Note that steps marked with an asterisk (*) are optional.
- Note that these instructions are for installing the 0.6 development version of web-cp. This version is not supported, will break, will not be upgradable and is for development only at this time.
Prepare system
Web-cp needs some packages that are not available in "main" branch of Ubuntu. To install these anyway, you'll have to add the "universe" branch. To do this, open up /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the four lines that end in "universe
- Now you need to install some requires packages, namely
- php5-cli
- php5-mysql
- mysql-server
- None of the following packages are absolutely required, but you'll want them for a usable system
- apache2
- libapache2-mod-cband
- php5
- sendmail (this package is in universe)
- bind9 or mydns-mysql (this package is in universe)
- vsftpd (recommended) or proftpd
Web-cp also needs a user and group to run as, preferably both "webcp"
groupadd webcp
useradd -s /bin/false -g webcp -d /home/webcp -c "webcp user" webcp
