This guide instructs you on how to install OpenPhoto on an Ubuntu Server.
You'll need to provide credentials for a MySql database. If the database doesn't already exist it will be created. If the user doesn't have CREATE DATABASE permissions then make sure it's already created.
If you're going to use AWS S3 then You'll need to be signed up it
Once you've confirmed that your cloud account is setup you can get started on your server. For that you'll need to have Apache, PHP and curl installed with a few modules.
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-mcrypt php-apc build-essential libpcre3-dev php-pear
a2enmod rewrite
#### Bug in Ubuntu 14.04 where the mcrypt module isn't loaded for PHP
#### Requires you to run the following if you see this in your error logs
#### Call to undefined function mcrypt_create_iv()
ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini
There are also a few optional but recommended packages and modules.
apt-get install php5-dev php5-imagick exiftran
pecl install oauth
a2enmod deflate
a2enmod expires
a2enmod headers
Download and install the source code. We recommend /var/www/yourdomain.com but you can use any directory you'd like.
apt-get install git-core
git clone git://github.com/photo/frontend.git /var/www/yourdomain.com
cd /var/www
wget https://github.com/photo/frontend/tarball/master -O openphoto.tar.gz
tar -zxvf openphoto.tar.gz
mv openphoto-frontend-* yourdomain.com
Assuming that this is a development machine you only need to make the config writable by the user Apache runs as. Most likely www-data.
mkdir /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/userdata
mkdir /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/html/photos
mkdir /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/html/assets/cache
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/userdata
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/html/photos
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/html/assets/cache
Copy the sample virtual host configuration file. Replace yourdomain with your own domain name:
cp /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/configs/openphoto-vhost.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourdomain.conf
Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourdomain.conf and replace instances of /path/to/openphoto/html/directory with /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/html or wherever you placed the code. Depending on which modules you installed you may have to comment out some of the Expires* directives.
vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourdomain.conf
By default, any access to ini files is denied with a "Not Found" 404 HTTP code. To enable a 403, or Forbidden return code, change the following lines in the virtual host file.
Uncomment:
# 403 Forbidden for ini files
#RewriteRule \.ini$ - [F,NC]
Comment:
# 404 Not Found for ini files
AliasMatch \.ini$ /404
Enable openphoto:
a2ensite yourdomain.conf
You may also want to disable Apache's default virtual host (especially if you are not running your website on your local machine):
a2dissite default.conf
If you want to run your website on your local machine, don't forget to modify your hosts file:
vi /etc/hosts
Add: 127.0.1.1 yourdomain.com
Edit your php.ini file:
vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Search for the following values and make sure they're correct.
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 16M
post_max_size = 16M
Search for, and if needed add the following line to load the Oauth Extention.
extension=oauth.so
Restart apache:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Now you're ready to launch your OpenPhoto site. Point your browser to yourdomain.com and you'll be taken to a setup screen.
If you're using a cloud service you'll need those account credentials to continue.
Once you complete the 3 steps your site will be up and running and you'll be redirected there. The setup screen won't show up anymore. If for any reason you want to go through the setup again you will need to delete the generated config file and refresh your browser.
rm /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/userdata/configs/yourdomain.com.ini
ENJOY!
