M-Processing Server Installation (internal)

Cette documentation décrit une installation sur Apache 2.4 (puisque Apache 2.2 est End-of-Life).

Sommaire

To install M-Processing Server on Linux 64-bit, follow the guidelines listed below :

Instructions	Commands
Installation de dépendances pour Mapping
Add the i386 architecture, to run a 32-bit executable file on a 64-bit multi-architecture system.	`sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386`
Update librairies.	`sudo apt-get update`
Install the three library packages libc6:i386, libncurses5:i386, and libstdc++6:i386.	`sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386`
Installation d'Apache 2.4
Install apache2 (2.4) and apache2-utils packages.	`sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-utils`
Check if the mods access_compat, authz_groupfile and cgi are enabled. Just checking their presence in mods-enabled directory.	Path: `ls /etc/apache2/mod-enabled/`
If not, enable them.	`sudo a2enmod authz_groupfile` `sudo a2enmod cgi`
Prepare an empty Apache conf file (Apache 2.4)	`sudo touch /etc/apache2/conf-available/mapping-suite.conf`
Installation de Mapping
Uncompress the archive linux_lib6_autogenbuild then, the archive mapping_install_linux_autogenbuild	`tar -xvf mapping_install_Linux_Autogenbuild.tar.gz`
Go in mapping_install directory	Example: `cd /home/username/desktop/mapping_install/`
Run mapinst.sh	`sudo ./mapinst.sh`
When asked use the previous settings	Apache conf file: `/etc/apache2/conf-available/mapping-suite.conf`
Set perfect path	Install path: `/usr/bin/mapping/` Server datas: `/srv/mapping/`
Apache final configuration
After install, enable Apache conf	`sudo a2enconf mapping-suite`

Les paquets s'appellent libc6-32bit et libstdc++6-32bit

To install M-Processing Server on Linux 64-bit, follow the guidelines listed below :

Instructions	Commands
Installation d'Apache 2.4
Install apache2 (2.4) package.	`sudo yum install httpd`
Prepare an empty Apache conf file (Apache 2.4)	`sudo touch /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/02-mapping-suite.conf` (ça fonctionne aussi dans conf.d)

The file tree between a Debian like and a RHEL like if different inside etc apache dirs. modules directory is not placed at the same deepth.

Mapping apache configuration is relatively compatible with v2.4 as seen before.

But for a better compatibility, it is better to replace some commands by their 2.4 syntax.

So that the Module mod_compat is no more relevant.

Apache 2.2		Apache 2.4
`Order deny,allow` `Deny from all`	==>	`Require all denied`
`Order allow,deny` `Allow from all`	==>	`Require all granted` I have serious doubt
`Order Deny,Allow` `Deny from all` `Allow from example.org`	==>	`Require host example.org`
`NameVirtualHost *:8002`	==>	deprecated
