<li><a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/DBD/">DBD for your database engine</a>
</ul>
</ul>
Install the Freeside distribution:
<ul>
<li>Add the user `freeside' to your system.
<li>Add the freeside database to your database engine. (with <a href="http://www.mysql.com/Manual_chapter/manual_Syntax.html#Create database">MySQL</a>) (with <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/admin/manage-ag.htm#AEN854">PostgreSQL</a>)
<li>Allow the freeside user full access to the freeside database. (with <a href="http://www.mysql.com/Manual_chapter/manual_Privilege_system.html#Privilege system">MySQL</a>) (with <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/admin/newuser.htm">PostgreSQL</a>)
<li>Unpack the tarball: <pre>gunzip -c fs-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xvf -</pre>
<li>Copy or link fs-x.y.z/site_perl to FS in your site_perl directory. (try `<code>perl -V</code>' if unsure) <pre>mkdir /usr/local/lib/site_perl/FS
cp fs-x.y.z/site_perl/* /usr/local/lib/site_perl/FS</pre> or <pre>ln -s /full/path/to/fs-x.y.z/site_perl /usr/local/lib/site_perl/FS</pre>
<li>Copy or link fs-x.y.z/htdocs to your web server's document space. <pre>mkdir /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside
cp -r fs-x.y.z/htdocs/* /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside</pre> or <pre>ln -s /full/path/to/fs-x.y.z/htdocs /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside</pre>
<li>Restrict access to this web interface. (with <a href="http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#user-authentication">Apache</a>)
<li>Enable CGI execution for files with the `.cgi' extension. (with <a href="http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler">Apache</a>)
<li>Set ownership and permissions for the web interface. The web interface needs to run as the freeside user - there are several ways to do this.
<ul>
<li>Use Perl's setuid emulation: see the <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/doc/manual/html/pod/perlsec.html#Security_Bugs">Security Bugs</a> section of the <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/doc/manual/html/pod/perlsec.html">perlsec</a> manpage.
<pre>cd /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside
chown -R freeside .
chmod 4755 browse/*.cgi edit/*.cgi edit/process/*.cgi misc/*.cgi misc/process/*.cgi search/*.cgi view/*.cgi</pre>
<li>Use Apache's <a href="http://www.apache.org/docs/suexec.html">suEXEC</a>.
<pre>cd /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside
chown -R freeside .
chmod 755 browse/*.cgi edit/*.cgi edit/process/*.cgi misc/*.cgi misc/process/*.cgi search/*.cgi view/*.cgi</pre>
<li>Use <a href="http://perl.apache.org/">mod_perl</a>. You should run a separate iteration of Apache[-SSL] as the freeside user. (Warning: The redirect method of CGI.pm 2.36 [as distributed with Perl 5.004_04] is broken under mod_perl. Downlaod the current version from <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/CGI">CPAN</a>. Apache 1.3.6 is also highly recommended because of signal handling problems in earlier versions.)
<pre>cd /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside
chown -R root .
chmod 755 browse/*.cgi edit/*.cgi edit/process/*.cgi misc/*.cgi misc/process/*.cgi search/*.cgi view/*.cgi</pre>
</ul>
<li>Create the necessary <a href="config.html">configuration files</a>.
<li>Create the `/usr/local/etc/freeside/counters.<i>datasrc</i>', and
`/usr/local/etc/freeside/export.<i>datasrc</i>' directories for each <i>datasrc</i> (owned by the freeside user).
<li>As the freeside user, run bin/fs-setup to create the database tables.
</ul>
