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.)

- PostgreSQL (v7 or higher) is recommended. -
- MySQL does not work at this time. - The following information is provided for developers who wish to contribute MySQL support: See ticket #300 in the bug-tracking system. - - MySQL's default MyISAM and ISAM table types are not supported. If you really want to use MySQL, you need to use one of the new transaction-safe table types such as BDB, and set it as the default table type using the --default-table-type=BDB mysqld command-line option or by setting default-table-type=BDB in the my.cnf option file. +
