OpenPhoto / Installation for FreeBSD + Nginx ======================= #### OpenPhoto, a photo service for the masses ## OS: FreeBSD 9.0+ This guide instructs you on how to install OpenPhoto on an FreeBSD Server ---------------------------------------- ### Prerequisites #### Database and File System Options ##### MySql You'll need to provide credentials for a MySql database. If the database doesn't already exist it will be created. If the user doesn't have `CREATE DATABASE` permissions then make sure it's already created. ##### AWS If you're going to use AWS services then You'll need to be signed up for them. * http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/ * http://aws.amazon.com/s3/ #### Server Packages and Modules Once you've confirmed that your cloud account is setup you can get started on your server. For that you'll need to have _NGinx_, _PHP-FPM_ and _CURL_ installed with a few modules. ##### Install Nginx Compile Nginx with : HTTP_MODULE HTTP_CACHE_MODULE HTTP_GZIP_STATIC_MODULE HTTP_REWRITE_MODULE HTTP_UPLOAD_MODULE HTTP_UPLOAD_PROGRESS cd /usr/ports/www/nginx make config install clean distclean ##### Install php5 Compile php5 with : CLI FPM SUHOSIN MULTIBYTE MAILHEAD cd /usr/port/lang/php5-extentions make config install clean distclean ##### Install php5 extentions Compile php5 extentions with : BZ2 CALENDAR CTYPE CURL DOM FILEINFO FILTER GD HASH ICONV JSON MBSTRING MCRYPT OPENSSL PDF PHAR POSIX SESSION SIMPLEXML TOKENIZER XML XMLREADER XMLWRITER XSL ZLIB cd /usr/port/lang/php5-extentions make config install clean distclean And if you are going to use MySQL compile `php5-extentions` with `MYSQL MYSQLI`. There are also a few optional but recommended packages and modules. /usr/ports/net/pecl-oauth /usr/ports/graphics/pecl-imagick /usr/ports/graphics/exiftran ---------------------------------------- ### Installing OpenPhoto Download and install the source code. We recommend `/usr/local/www/yourdomain.com` but you can use any directory you'd like. #### Using git clone pkg_add -r git-core git clone git://github.com/photo/frontend.git /usr/local/www/yourdomain.com #### Using tar cd /usr/local/www wget https://github.com/photo/frontend/tarball/master -O openphoto.tar.gz tar -zxvf openphoto.tar.gz mv openphoto-frontend-* yourdomain.com Assuming that this is a development machine you only need to make the config writable by the user Apache runs as. Most likely `www`. mkdir /usr/local/www/yourdomain.com/src/userdata mkdir /usr/local/www/yourdomain.com/src/html/photos mkdir /usr/local/www/yourdomain.com/src/html/assets/cache chown www:www /usr/local/www/yourdomain.com/src/userdata chown www:www /usr/local/www/yourdomain.com/src/html/photos chown www:www /usr/local/www/yourdomain.com/src/html/assets/cache ---------------------------------------- ### Setting up NGinx and PHP #### NGinx You'll need to copy the sample virtual host configuration file from the source to `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled`. cp /usr/local/www/yourdomain.com/src/configs/openphoto-nginx.conf /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/openphoto You'll need to replace: * The host name (yourdomain.com) * The path where OpenPhoto is installed (/usr/local/www/yourdomain.com/src/html/) /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/openphoto ### PHP You should also verify that your `php.ini` file has a few important values set correctly. vi /usr/local/etc/php.ini Search for the following values and make sure they're correct. file_uploads = On upload_max_filesize = 16M post_max_size = 16M Now you're ready to restart apache and visit the site in your browser. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/php-fpm restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx restart ### Launching your OpenPhoto site Now you're ready to launch your OpenPhoto site. Point your browser to your host and you'll be taken to a setup screen. You'll need your cloud account credentials to continue. Once you complete the 3 steps your site will be up and running and you'll be redirected there. The _setup_ screen won't show up anymore. If for any reason you want to go through the setup again you will need to delete the generated config file and refresh your browser. rm /usr/local/www/yourdomain.com/src/userdata/configs/yourdomain.com.ini **ENJOY!**
