|
| CDash is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_%28software_bundle%29 LAMP] application, running on [http://www.apache.org/ Apache] using [http://www.php.net/ PHP] to access a [http://www.mysql.com/ MySQL] database. | | CDash is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_%28software_bundle%29 LAMP] application, running on [http://www.apache.org/ Apache] using [http://www.php.net/ PHP] to access a [http://www.mysql.com/ MySQL] or [http://www.postgresql.org PostgreSQL] database. |
|
| |
| == System Requirements ==
| |
| * Apache
| |
| * MySQL database (5.x and higher)
| |
| * PHP (5.0 recommended)
| |
| * XSL module for PHP
| |
| * cURL module for PHP (for site statistics)
| |
| * GD module for PHP (for regression tests)
| |
|
| |
|
| == Downloading CDash ==
| | Please visit [https://github.com/Kitware/CDash our GitHub repository] for download links and installation instructions. |
| Currently CDash is only available from the development [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion] repository. Either extract the code into your web server tree, or another directory which will later be copied to the web server:
| |
| | |
| cd /srv/www/htdocs
| |
| svn co https://www.kitware.com:8443/svn/CDash/trunk CDash
| |
| | |
| Note: If this fails ensure any firewall allows outgoing access to port 8443.
| |
| | |
| == Configuration ==
| |
| The system configuration is stored in <tt>.../CDash/config.php</tt>, edit this with your favorite ASCII editor.
| |
| | |
| === Database ===
| |
| If you are running the MySQL database on the same server as the Apache web server the defaults should work with no changes:
| |
| | |
| // Hostname of the MySQL database
| |
| $CDASH_DB_HOST = 'localhost';
| |
|
| |
| // Login for MySQL database access
| |
| $CDASH_DB_LOGIN = 'root';
| |
|
| |
| // Password for MySQL database access
| |
| $CDASH_DB_PASS = '';
| |
| | |
| // Name of the MySQL database
| |
| $CDASH_DB_NAME = 'cdash';
| |
| | |
| === Email ===
| |
| You should probably edit the default email addresses:
| |
| | |
| // Default from email
| |
| $CDASH_EMAILADMIN = 'admin@cdash.org';
| |
| $CDASH_EMAIL_FROM = 'admin@cdash.org';
| |
| $CDASH_EMAIL_REPLY = 'noreply@cdash.org';
| |
|
| |
| === Backup directory ===
| |
| The backup/log directory by default is placed in <tt>.../CDash/backup</tt>, this must be made writable by the account that you run Apache under (typically wwwrun), you can move the directory via:
| |
| | |
| // Backup directory
| |
| $CDASH_BACKUP_DIRECTORY = 'backup';
| |
| | |
| === Google Maps ===
| |
| CDash can use [http://code.google.com/apis/maps/ Google maps] to display the location of submission sites. CDash comes with Kitware's key code which won't work for your site's URL. Every site that uses Google maps requires its own [http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html Google maps key] which you should obtain, use this style URL when applying for a key:
| |
| | |
| http:://cdash.mysite.org/CDash
| |
| | |
| Paste your newly obtained key in place of Kitware's:
| |
| | |
| $CDASH_GOOGLE_MAP_API_KEY['localhost'] = 'paste key here';
| |
| | |
| If your submission machines uses private IP addresses you can add default location information, e.g. for all machines in the 192.x.x.x network (use http://maps.google.com to obtain your location):
| |
| | |
| $CDASH_DEFAULT_IP_LOCATIONS[] = array("IP" => "192.*","latitude" => "42.6612","longitude" => "-73.7689");
| |
| | |
| Sometimes site location are misreported (e.g. the ISP's location is used), you can override these:
| |
| | |
| $CDASH_DEFAULT_IP_LOCATIONS[] = array("IP" => "76.65.240.*","latitude" => "43.667","longitude" => "-79.417");
| |
| | |
| You'll probably want to replace the defaults that are present.
| |
| | |
| Note: If you use the 192.x.x.x address range ensure you update the location information before submitting from any machines in this subnet, as the location is stored in the database (but can be subsequently edited from the admin web pages).
| |
| | |
| === Google Analytics ===
| |
| CDash can use [http://www.google.com/analytics/ Google analytics] to monitor site usage. CDash's main <tt>index.php</tt> contains a reference to a default Google analytics code:
| |
| | |
| $CDASH_DEFAULT_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS='UA-701656-6';
| |
| | |
| When you configure each project you will have the opportunity to set a per-project Google analytics code.
| |
| | |
| == RSS directory ==
| |
| Ensure that the <tt>.../CDash/rss</tt> (and <tt>.../CDash/backup</tt>) directory is writable by the user account that Apache runs under (typically wwwrun)
| |
| | |
| == Apache ==
| |
| Ensure that the <tt>/srv/www/htdocs/CDash</tt> tree is accessible, you may have to add the following to your <tt>/etc/apache2/conf.d</tt> directory:
| |
| | |
| <tt>cdash.conf/</tt>:
| |
|
| |
| <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/CDash>
| |
| Order allow,deny
| |
| Allow from all
| |
| </Directory>
| |
| | |
| You may need to restart Apache:
| |
| | |
| rcapache2 restart
| |
| | |
| == Creating database ==
| |
| Access your website to start the install process:
| |
| | |
| http://mywebsite.com/CDash
| |
| | |
| The first step will confirm the host login and password for the database, the default admin account and password are also displayed, make a note of these as you'll need them later, as its easy to skip past this step missing them (you can always find them in <tt>.../CDash/sql/cdashdata.sql</tt>).
