Installing integrated RT ticketing
- -
Integrated ticketing is an new feature and these instructions are preliminary. Documentation contributions are welcome. - -
There is also support for running this integration against an external RT installation, but it is not (yet) documented. - -
Perl minimum version 5.8.3 is required. HTML::Mason is required. - -
Install the following perl modules: -
- -
Create a new Unix group called 'rt' - -
Edit the top-level Makefile, set RT_ENABLED to 1 and set the RT_DOMAIN, RT_TIMEZONE, and FREESIDE_URL variables. - -
```
make configure-rt
-make create-rt
-make install-rt
-
```
- -
Add the following to your httpd.conf: -
```
-# replace /var/www/freeside with your freeside document root
-<DirectoryMatch "^/var/www/freeside/rt/.*NoAuth">
-<Limit GET POST>
-allow from all
-Satisfy any   
-SetHandler perl-script
-PerlHandler HTML::Mason
-</Limit>
-</DirectoryMatch>
-# replace /var/www/freeside with your freeside document root
-<DirectoryMatch "^/var/www/freeside/rt/.*NoAuth/images">
-SetHandler None
-</DirectoryMatch>
-# replace /var/www/freeside with your freeside document root
-<Directory /var/www/freeside/rt/Ticket/Attachment> 
-SetHandler perl-script 
-PerlHandler HTML::Mason 
-</Directory>
-
```
- -
Set the ticket_system configuration value to RT_Internal. You may also wish to set ticket_system-default_queueid once you have RT configured. - -
Bootstrap RT's permissions: -
- Click on "Ticketing Main" on the Freeside main menu to auto-create an RT login for your username -
- Run freeside-adduser -h /usr/local/etc/freeside/htpasswd root and set a (temporary) password -
- Log into your Freeside installation as the "root" user you just created, by closing your browser or using https://root@yourmachone/freeside/ syntax. -
- Click on "Ticketing Main" on the Freeside main menu. Click on "Configuration", then "Global", and then "User Rights". Grant the "SuperUser" right to your RT login. -
- Remove the temporary "root" user from /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets and /usr/local/etc/freeside/htpasswd -
- -
Follow the regular RT documentation to configure RT, setup the mailgate, etc. - - diff --git a/httemplate/docs/install.html b/httemplate/docs/install.html deleted file mode 100644 index 78172e8e4..000000000 --- a/httemplate/docs/install.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,173 +0,0 @@ - - Installation - - -
Installation
-Note: Install Freeside on a firewalled, private server, not a public (web, RADIUS, etc.) server.

-Before installing, you need: -
- 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 (v7.2 or later, 7.4 or later recommended). -
  - 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. - -
  - Note: the above only applies to the database used by the Freeside software itself. Freeside can integrate with RADIUS and other servers running MySQL or any other DBI-supported database. -
- Perl modules (CPAN will query, download and build perl modules automatically) -

  -
-Install the Freeside distribution: -
- Add the user and group `freeside' to your system. -
- Allow the freeside user full access to the freeside database. -
  - with PostgreSQL: -
```
-$ su postgres (pgsql on some distributions)
-$ createuser -P freeside
-Enter password for user "freeside": 
-Enter it again: 
-Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
-Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) n
-CREATE USER
```
    -
  - with MySQL: -
```
-$ mysqladmin -u root password 'set_a_root_database_password'
-$ mysql -u root -p
-mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,INDEX,ALTER,CREATE,DROP on freeside.* TO freeside@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'set_a_freeside_database_password';
```
    -
  - -
- Edit the top-level Makefile: -
  - Set DATASOURCE to your DBI data source, for example, DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside for PostgresSQL or DBI:mysql:freeside for MySQL. See the DBI manpage and the manpage for your DBD for the exact syntax of your DBI data source. -
  - Set DB_PASSWORD to the freeside database user's password. -
  -
- Add the freeside database to your database engine: -
  - with Postgres: -
```
-$ su freeside
-$ createdb -E sql_ascii freeside
```
    -
  - with MySQL: -
```
-$ mysqladmin -u freeside -p create freeside 
```
    -
  -
- Build and install the Perl modules: -
```
-$ make perl-modules
-$ su
-# make install-perl-modules
```
  -
- Create the necessary configuration files:
```
-$ su
-# make create-config
-
```
  -
- Run a separate iteration of Apache[-SSL] with mod_perl enabled as the freeside user. -
- Edit the Makefile and set TEMPLATE to asp or mason. Also set FREESIDE_DOCUMENT_ROOT. -
- Run make install-docs. -
- Configure Apache: -
```
-PerlModule HTML::Mason
-# your freeside docuemnt root
-<Directory /var/www/freeside>
-<Files ~ (\.cgi|\.html)>
-AddHandler perl-script .cgi .html
-PerlHandler HTML::Mason
-</Files>
-<Perl>
-require "/usr/local/etc/freeside/handler.pl";
-</Perl>
-</Directory>
-
```
  -
- Restrict access to this web interface - see the Apache documentation on user authentication. For example, to configure user authentication with mod_auth (flat files), add something like the following to your Apache httpd.conf file, adjusting for your actual paths: -
```
-#your freeside document root
-<Directory /var/www/freeside>
-AuthName Freeside
-AuthType Basic
-AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/freeside/htpasswd
-require valid-user
-</Directory>
-
```
  -
- Create one or more Freeside users (your internal sales/tech folks, not customer accounts). These users are setup using using Apache authentication, not UNIX user accounts. For example, using mod_auth (flat files): -
  - First user:
    -
```
$ su
-# freeside-adduser -c -h /usr/local/etc/freeside/htpasswd username
```
    -
  - Additional users:
    -
```
$ su
-# freeside-adduser -h /usr/local/etc/freeside/htpasswd username
```
    -
  - (using other auth types, add each user to your Apache authentication and then run: freeside-adduser username) -
- Create the Freeside system users: -
```
$ su
-# freeside-adduser fs_queue
-# freeside-adduser fs_selfservice
```
  -
- As the freeside UNIX user, run freeside-setup -d domain.name username to create the database tables and initial data, passing the username of a Freeside user you created above: -
```
-$ su freeside
-$ freeside-setup -d example.com username
-
```
  -
- freeside-queued was installed with the Perl modules. Start it now and ensure that is run upon system startup (Do this manually, or edit the top-level Makefile, replacing INIT_FILE with the appropriate location on your systemand QUEUED_USER with the username of a Freeside user you created above, and run make install-init) -
- Now proceed to the initial administration of your installation. -
