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, minimum version 5.005_03. (5.8.3 for the integrated RT ticketing)
- 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
+
- Optional, enables typeset invoices: teTeX and Ghostscript (included with most distributions).
- A transactional database engine supported by Perl's DBI.
- - 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. 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 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 (v7.2 or later).
+
- MySQL is not currently supported. Developers intersted in maintaining MySQL support are welcome to ask on the -devel mailing list; many things work, but MySQL support needs a maintainer to update it for recent (and future) changes.
+
- - Perl modules (CPAN will query, download and build perl modules automatically)
