Installation & system configuration



Installation instructions

  The installation of DocTaur is quite easy, but you should be able to configure your web-server. We recommend to install Doctaur on a subdomain (Apache VirtualHost).

  Prerequisities
    Linux (tested on RedHat 7.3, 8, 9)
web-server (tested on Apache 1.3)
Perl (tested with Perl 5.6, 5.8)

  Installation
   
  1. Configure your system: the subdomain for Doctaur will point to a server IP adress. The easiest way is probably to edit /etc/hosts file.
  2. Configure your apache webserver.
    DocTaur needs a main directory to install DocTaur to (Ex: /var/htdocs/doctaur) and a cgi-bin directory for executable files (Ex: /var/htdocs/doctaur/cgi-bin).
    Example of a apache configuration:
      <VirtualHost 192.168.0.15>
        DocumentRoot /var/htdocs/doctaur
        ServerName doctaur.yourdomain.net     
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/htdocs/doctaur/cgi-bin/"
        #you should uncomment the lines bellow, if you are using mod_perl
        #<Files ~ ".pl >
        #  SetHandler Perl-script
        #  PerlHandler Apache::Registry
        #  Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
        #  PerlSendHeader On
        #</Files>
      </VirtualHost>
    
  3. Download last version of DocTaur.
  4. Open the directory where you have saved the archive and extract it by the command: 'tar -xzf doctaur-1.x.x.tar.gz' .
  5. Change the dir by the command: 'cd doctaur' .
  6. Run the installation script by the command: './install.sh' .
  7. Follow the instructions of the installation script.
