OpenPhoto / Installation for SUSE/openSUSE
OpenPhoto, a photo service for the masses
OS: Linux openSUSE 11.4+
This guide instructs you on how to install OpenPhoto on an openSUSE 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.
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 Apache, PHP and curl installed with a few modules.
zypper in apache2 php5 apache2-mod-php5 php5-curl php5-mcrypt
And if you are going to use MySQL install php5-mysql.
Ensure you have mod_rewrite enabled
a2enmod rewrite
There are also a few optional but recommended packages and modules. Add the PHP Extensions repo.
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/extensions/openSUSE_11.4 php:extensions
zypper in php5-imagick php5-oauth php5-APC exiftran
a2enmod deflate
a2enmod expires
a2enmod headers
Installing OpenPhoto
Download and install the source code. We recommend /srv/www/htdocs/yourdomain.com but you can use any directory you'd like.
Using git clone
zypper in git
git clone https://github.com/photo/frontend.git /srv/www/yourdomain.com
chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/yourdomain.com
Using tar
cd /var/www
wget https://github.com/photo/frontend/tarball/master -O openphoto.tar.gz
tar -zxvf --group=www --owner=wwwrun openphoto.tar.gz
mv openphoto-frontend-* yourdomain.com
chown -R wwwrun:www yourdomain.com
Assuming that this is a development machine you can make the config writable by the user Apache runs as. Most likely wwwrun.
mkdir /srv/www/htsdocs/yourdomain.com/src/userdata
chown wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/yourdomain.com/src/userdata
Setting up Apache and PHP
Apache
You'll need to copy the sample virtual host configuration file from the source to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d.
cp /srv/www/htdocs/yourdomain.com/src/configs/openphoto-SUSE-vhost.conf /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/yourdomain.com.conf
Now you'll need to replace instances of /path/to/openphoto/html/directory with /srv/www/htdocs/yourdomain.com/src/html or wherever you placed the code.
vi /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/yourdomain.com.conf
By default, any access to ini files is denied with a "Not Found" 404 HTTP code. To enable a 404, or Forbidden return code, change the following lines in the virtual host file.
Uncomment:
# 403 Forbidden for ini files
#RewriteRule \.ini$ - [F,NC]
Comment:
404 Not Found for ini files
AliasMatch .ini$ /404
PHP
You should also verify that your php.ini file has a few important values set correctly.
vi /etc/php5/apache2/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.
rcapache2 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 /srv/www/htdocs/yourdomain.com/src/configs/generated/settings.ini
ENJOY!
