Epiware Installation

Check and see if the system has the latest MySql, PHP and APACHE

Unzip and untar the file Epiware-***.tar.gz     tar xvfz Epiware-***.tar.gz
Change into the Epiware-*** directory           cd Epiware*
Login as root                                   su
Run the install script                          ./install 


** After the installation copy or move the extracted Epiware directory to your /var/www in the system.

Install does 3 important steps.
1. Create a dir called /storage/document_area
2. Copies binaries to /storage/binaries
3. Copies share/antiword to /usr/share/antiword

You can change the location /storage/document_area
If you change this location, you must 
tell the application to look in this new location 
in the config.inc.php.
You will need to update each of the folowing, to where 
documents will be stored, if different.

  define("DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY","/storage/document_area"); 
  define("CALENDAR_ATTACHMENT_DIRECTORY","/storage/attachments");
  define("IMAGE_GALLERY_PATH","/storage/document_area");
  define("ERROR_LOG_PATH", "/storage/document_area");
  //a document area for wiki-group banners - unlike document area, this cannot be changed w/o moving all files at a later date
  define("EPI_BANNER_DIRECTORY","/storage/document_area");


Likewise if you change the location of the binaries you will also
need to update the config.inc.php variable

   define("BINARY_LOCATION", "/storage/binaries");


Make sure you chance this to anything other than what is delivered.
This makes the encryption on your URL unique
  
  define("KEY", "my_unique_key_example");


1. Create tables in the Database with project_db.sql!                    */
/*    mysql -u root -p < epi/project_db.sql                                 */
/*                                                                          */
/*                                                                          */
/* 2. Copy recursively the files in from epi to your webserver              */
/*     example (cp -r epi  /usr/local/apache/htdocs)			    */
/*                                                       

- The first person that logs into Epiware 
  will be the ROOT user.  He has full control of the applicaiton.
  Other users can also be designated as root after they are created.
   
- By default, php expects to find the mysql.sock file at /tmp/mysql.sock
  If your mysql.sock file is located in another directory, you will have 
  to edit the EPIware configuration file (./config.inc.php).
  Edit the line that contains 'define( "IP_ADDRESS","localhost");' to
  'define( "IP_ADDRESS","localhost:/path/to/mysql.sock");' where
  /path/to/mysql.sock is the complete path to your mysql.sock file.
