Automated Install Script

[spsneo]

Automated One-Click Install Script. This will allow user to install mapbender in one click from a browser tab or from terminal.

for mapbender 2.5 I have made a very very simple shell script

​http://trac.osgeo.org/mapbender/browser/branches/2.5/resources/db/install.sh

this only asks for db type, character encoding and db name, and then chooses and installs the SQLs automatically.

A proper installation routine (preferably coded in PHP) would nevertheless be desirable.

• script overwrites the mapbender.conf if it already exists

[tbaschetti]

changed behaviour: only install mapbender.conf if it doesn't exist

entries in mapbender.conf have to be changed by hand

[mschulz]

should we fill in the appropriate db settings while cp'ing mapbender.conf-dist to mapbender.conf? This could be done with sed (on linux ;-)). We would need to change mapbender.conf-dist slightly, so that the placeholders can be uniquely identified, e.g. <pgHOST> and <myHOST> instead of <HOST>. I could provide the script code.

I've noticed that the set_permissions function can fail, because the webserver user's username and group need not to be identical.

Replying to mschulz:

in general i agree, but i think we should postpone this, until we've got a real (php) install routine, as it is quiet hard to sync the windows and unix versions.

yes, i reopen the ticket and will fix it.

[tbaschetti]

added webservergroup to set_permissions

I want to use the install script for Mapbender 2.5.2, both .bat and .sh

I guess there should be no blockers. I removed the SQLs for updating to 2.6. I also removed the abortion of the MySQL installation, because 2.6 sqls are not available (not applicable to 2.5.2)

​http://trac.osgeo.org/mapbender/changeset/4428

If you see any blockers, please stop me!

Today I encountered a problem with gettext. The .mo files were neither readable nor executable. I guess it must have sth to do with the install script.

Just to let you know, I didn't have time to resolve the issue.

ERROR
