Installation¶

• This guide is based on a Debian distribution.
• The euphorik root directory is "/var/euphorik" (for example)
• All line beginning with a '$' is a command line in the System shell
• All line beginning with a '>' is a command line in the Erlang shell
• You can start euphorik in development mode with "$cd /var/euphorik/tools ; ./start_yaws.sh"

1. Build Euphorik

   1. $cd /var/euphorik/modules ; make

2. Install Yaws
   1. $apt-get install yaws
3. Configure Yaws (for production use)
   1. The virtual server looks like that in "/etc/yaws/conf.avail/euphorik.conf".

         ebin_dir = /var/euphorik/modules/ebin
         include_dir = /var/euphorik/modules/include
         <server localhost>
            port = 8081
            listen = 0.0.0.0
            docroot = /var/euphorik
            allowed_scripts = [yaws]
            appmods = <request, euphorik_requests>
            start_mod = euphorik_daemon
         </server>
      

   2. Make a symlink in "conf.d" with "$cd /etc/yaws/conf.d/ ; ln -s "/etc/yaws/conf.avail/euphorik.conf"
   3. Edit the file '/etc/init.d/yaws' and substitue the following line 'script="$DAEMON -I $YAWS_ID $"' by this one '$DAEMON --sname yaws --mnesiadir \"/var/euphorik/BD\" -I $YAWS_ID $'
4. Initialize the database
   1. The directory "/var/euphorik/BD" must be writable for the yaws user
   2. Stop Yaws (in root)
      1. $/etc/init.d/yaws stop
   3. Launch an Erlang Node
      1. $cd /var/euphorik/module/ebin
      2. $erl -sname yaws -mnesia dir /euphorik/var/BD
   4. Load the module
      1. >l(euphorik_bd_admin).
   5. Make the DB
      1. >euphorik_bd_admin:create().
   6. Start Yaws : $/etc/init.d/yaws start
