Installation

+Note: Install Freeside on a firewalled, private server, not a public (web, RADIUS, etc.) server.

Before installing, you need:

Perl Don't enable experimental features like threads or the PerlIO abstraction layer. +
Perl
Apache (mod_ssl or Apache-SSL highly recommended)
mod_perl (if compiling your own mod_perl, make sure you set the EVERYTHING=1 compile-time option)
SSH (OpenSSH is recommended. SSH Communications Security commercial SSH version 3 has been reported incompatible with Freeside.)
rsync
A transactional database engine supported by Perl's DBI.
- PostgreSQL (v7 or higher) is recommended. -
- MySQL has been reported to work. - MySQL's default MyISAM and ISAM table types are not supported. If you want to use MySQL, you must use one of the new transaction-safe table types such as BDB or InnoDB, and set it as the default table type when running fs-setup using the --default-table-type=BDB or --default-table-type=InnoDB mysqld command-line option or by setting default-table-type=BDB or --default-table-type=InnoDB in the my.cnf option file. +
- PostgreSQL is recommended (v7or later). +
- MySQL MINIMUM VERSION 4.1 is untested but may work. Versions before 4.1 do not support standard SQL subqueries and are NOT SUPPORTED. If you are a developer who wishes to contribute MySQL 3.x/4.0 support, see ticket #438 in the bug-tracking system and ask on the -devel mailing list. + + MySQL's default MyISAM and ISAM table types are not supported.
