what is this?

This is a simple way for CC folks to install RITES severs
(app_server, sakai_server, database_server) on minimally configued centos boxes.

Its composed of a bunch of shell scripts which ‘source’ each other. A poor mans dependancy management.

where do I start?

It would probably be helpful to have ssh configured on the remote host to use key authentication.

you can bootstrap the process by configuring a new riteshost with the script ‘riteshost.sh’ which takes
one argument, the host to inject the system into, eg: ./riteshost.sh someremote.machine.org

After that you will need to log in the remote system, and ‘cd’ into ~/rites_host and issue one of:

./mysql-server.sh

./app-server.sh

./rieps.sh

example session: configuring the mysql-server:

In this session we configure a remote host to act as the mysql server.
the basic steps are

./riteshost.sh someremote.machine.org

ssh someremote.machine.org

cd ~/rites_host/

./mysql-server.sh

And that’s really all there is to it….

Todo:

• Convert this to a rake task.
• Edit and use the template files (eg etc/httpd/conf/) NOT USED NOW.
