deb http://freeside.biz/~jeremyd/freeside4-jessie-stable/ ./
  • Run aptitude update.

$ 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';

Database Access

  • Configure /usr/local/etc/freeside/secrets if necessary. This file contains three lines: DBI datasource, username and password
    • See the DBI manpage and the manpage for your DBD for the exact syntax of your DBI data source.

$ createdb -E UTF8 freeside

or with MySQL:

$ mysqladmin -u freeside -p create freeside

$ su freeside
$ freeside-setup -d example.com

RT database

  • As the freeside UNIX user, run:
$ su freeside
$ /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action schema
$ /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action coredata
$ /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action insert --datafile /opt/rt3/etc/initialdata

$ su freeside
$ freeside-adduser -g 1 fs_queue
$ freeside-adduser -g 1 fs_daily
$ freeside-adduser -g 1 fs_selfservice
$ freeside-adduser -g 1 fs_api

  • a2enconf freeside-rt
  • a2dismod mpm_event

  • a2enmod rewrite
  • a2enmod perl
  • chown freeside /var/lock/apache2
