Openbiblio Installation

Posted on |



Installation

Installation of OpenBiblio is quite easy and it can be run on a Pentium 4 machines. Which means with OpenBiblio you will be able to give fresh breath of life to the machines you thought were totally obsolete. Although I would recommend at least 2GB RAM. If you are installing OpenBiblio on a core Linux driven machine then even 1 GB RAM will be sufficient. At Raffles I have tested it with Pentium 4 - 800 MHz machines and I did not have any problem. Just follow the step-by-step installation below to complete your installation.

Step 1

  • Download and install Easy PHP 5.3.0 or higher from www.easyphp.org. I haven't tested with PHP from www.php.net but I am quite confident OpenBiblio will work with that as well.
  • 5.3.0 is the one that is the recommended version
  • Accept the license agreement and default locations and click on OK.

  • Double-click on the icon to make Apache & MySQL have started (all green lights).

Please note: if you already have Easy PHP you will need to uninstall the previous version, and if you run servers as services, uninstall them. Please remember that OpenBiblio will not run unless EasyPHP is running.

Step 2

  • After you download & install Easy PHP, the Easy PHP will show up in your icon tray at the bottom right of your screen.
  • Right-click on the icon, and go to the “Administration” option.

Click on PHP MyAdmin. This will open a new browser window:

Under MySQL localhost, type “OpenBiblio” in the “Create new database” box (highlighted) and click on the “Create” button.

  • Now, click on the SQL tab.
  • This will bring up the SQL query screen. Type in this query exactly as shown.
  • grant all on OpenBiblio.* to librarian@localhost identified by ‘secret’

Where librarian is the username and secret is the password. You may use a different username

  • Download the OpenBiblio zip file from http://obiblio.sourceforge.net or from this website. Click on “Downloads” to get OpenBiblio from Sourceforge, and download the openbiblio-0.6.1.zip file.
  • Unzip the downloaded files into the “C:Program FilesEasyPHP5.3.0www” directory

In this step you will need to set user name and password.
  • In the newly created “C:Program FilesEasyPHP5.3.0wwwOpenBiblio” folder, use Notepad or WordPad (or your favorite text editor) to open the file “database_constants.php”
  • Within the quotation marks, set the username and password to librarian and secret, or to the username and password you have selected.


In this step you will set session data path & error reporting.
  • Create a directory “C:tmp”
  • Using notepad or wordpad, open the “php.ini” file in the “C:Program FilesEasyPHP5.3.0conf_files” directory.
  • Somewhere underneath the [Session] header type on a new line (highlighted below): session.save_path = “C:tmp”

  • While you have the php.ini file open, find where it says: display_errors = On
  • Change the “On” to “Off” (highlighted below)

What is Cloud Balance Deployment?

Cloud Balance deployment places your web sites, e-mail, and databases on different servers within our cloud web hosting cluster. This is done behind the scenes using our simple cloud management interface. Maximizing account uptime by not provisioning your services/websites on a single server. Cloud balance deployment eliminates the single point of failure model of traditional web hosting. If you have any questions, please contact our sales department. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

How does cloud web hosting work?

Shared web hosting places your account services (mail, web, database, and DNS) on one server. Sectorlink's Cloud Web Hosting round robins your services within our cloud server cluster. With shared web hosting, any type of server interruption could cause your mail, web, database, and DNS to be down, leaving yourself or organization out of business. With Sectorlink's Cloud Web Hosting, this single point of failure is eliminated.

Website Isolation

With traditional web hosting, all of your sites reside in the same space provided to you. Not only in the same space but on the same server. What does this mean? If one website has a security issue, it has the potential to affect all of your websites. All of your sites within the cloud (including subdomains) are isolated from one another, keeping other sites safe and sound.
