Will WebGUI install on my shared hosting server? |
| WebGUI requires changes to the configuration files of Apache to use the preload.perl. It used to be able to run using CGI, but that is no longer the case. WebGUI is designed to be the only application running on your web box. It may work on your shared hosting server, but YRMV. It is better if you have a dedicated server for WebGUI.

I know absolutely nothing about configuration of Apache, MySQL, or WebGUI. Is this easy to install? |
| If you get the Zip-n-go package, and you're using Windows 2000 or XP, the answer is yes. If you are running a *nix/BSD box, the answer is ... not really. It is important to know that the installation will work if you follow the directions in the Installation Documents. If you know a bit about httpd.conf, MySQL, PERL, this is not very difficult to install. With practice, you can install in about an hour. Your first time may be about a day.

| If you have a supported WRE binary, I would seriously recommend you take a look at that.

Installing WebGUI on FreeBSD 5.4 |
| Installing WebGUI 6.7.3 on FreeBSD RELEASE-5.4 The following is based on a minimal install of FreeBSD via the sysinstall program on the FreeBSD CD, assuming FreeBSD 5.4. It is assuming that you are performing all actions as the root user. It is also assumed that you are using Apache 2 and ModPerl 2. Directions: 1. Install a minimal FreeBSD system. 2. Do a remote install of the packages below via ‘pkg_add –r + <packagename>’. Then log out of your system and log back in. For some reason newly installed programs that are in your PATH environment variable are not picked up until you log out and back in again. a. wget (or another tool you like to download WebGUI)3. Prep your mysql database a. Run "/usr/local/sbin/mysql_install_db"1. If you see a mysql prompt, you’re set. a. You really should set a password at this point for the root user on
mysql. You can do this at the mysql prompt by issuing the command ‘set
password = password("<newpassword>");’ Ignore the single quotes and
replace <newpassword> with the password of your choice.
2. If you don’t, something isn’t right.4. Download the latest WebGUI source installation of your choice. This document is based on 6.7.3, keep that in mind.5. Assuming you made it through section 2 without a hitch, you are now ready to follow Plain Black’s instructions to continue your install. Using WebGUI 6.7.3 you should not have to worry about the perl modules that they tell you to install at the beginning. They will already have been installed by these instructions, either explicitly or they were installed as a dependency of another module. At the time of this writing, the instructions were located at http://www.plainblack.com/installing_webgui . I’m not going to include those instructions here because they are part of the WebGUI site and I don’t want to steal the instructions from there to include them here.6. Put the name of your server in your /etc/hosts file. This is especially important to Apache if you are using an internal machine with a dummy name. Apache will die if you don’t have it’s name in the host file.7. When you finish with Plain Black’s instructions, you may notice that you start your server with a core dump. Hopefully if nothing changes, Apache will still be running and this won’t be anything more than a minor irritation. However, if you installed Apache with the FreeBSD binary, you need to check your httpd.conf file under /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf. You need to do this because you will notice that you cannot view your WebGUI site because of security restrictions.
b. Re-read ‘a.’ above, then you may read ‘c.’ below.8. Assuming all went well, you will want to enable Apache and MySQL on startup. You will need to edit /etc/rc.conf to do this. At the end of the file append one line for each server, for Apache, enter ‘ "apache2_enable="YES" ‘ to enable it on startup. For MySQL, enter ‘ mysql_enable="YES" ‘ to enable it. Ignore the single-quotes, but the double quotes are needed.You should be finished! Hope this helps some other strugling newby to FreeBSD and WebGUI. Troy troyDOTcaldwellATcovchurchDOTorg | |
| you can use the rehash command instead of having to log out and log back in.
wg-fomATgwyDOTorg | |
In deference to the above regarding security restrictions, I would suggest that you keep the secure defaults of deny, allow, and merely allow,deny the directories you use, including extras and DocumentRoot... Alias /extras /path/to/extras
<Directory /path/to/extras>
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
