Submitted by roo on Wed, 01/03/2018 - 12:34

This wiki https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux  is a good intro to SELinux. This gives just about enough info to troubleshoot apache/drupal/selinux.

A fuller understanding can be gained here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/Understanding. This starts with the basics - recommended!

The selinux policy for apache is documented here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/apache.

Documentation on configuring this is scarce, so here's my contribution.

The simplest way to install Drupal 8 initially is, at first glance, to simply download the tarball and decompress it.

In the long-run though, it's better to use Composer package-manager at the outset, as it's almost certain you will need it in the future anyway. It's pretty simple to do once you know the steps.

Firstly you need to install the composer.

Installing Libreplan on Fedora23 with MySql

Submitted by roo on Tue, 05/03/2016 - 12:09

Libreplan is an "open source web application for project planning, monitoring and control".

It's a webapp utilising Apache Tomcat as the application server. The distribution is thus a war file.

Installations usually use postgresql.

Having already an installed instance of MySql, I wanted to use this.

Basic instructions from http://pablotips.blogspot.co.nz/2014/08/install-libreplan-on-mysql.html were followed.
