View source for Ocs-server/Install/Configuring a webserver as host

== Target system ==
This guide is inteded to use with Ubuntu and may use Ubuntu only commands. It can be adapted to other distros however. If you want to help adding support for other distributions please feel free to edit this page.

== Install distribution packages ==
===Ubuntu===
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server php5-mysql phpmyadmin php5-gd php5-curl
</syntaxhighlight>

== Enable URL rewriting ==
===Ubuntu===
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
sudo a2enmod rewrite
</syntaxhighlight>

Now open your server configuration file with your preferred text editor:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
</syntaxhighlight>
Now change those line of code when Directory is / or /var/www:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
AllowOverride None 
</syntaxhighlight>
with:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
AllowOverride All 
</syntaxhighlight>

== Get latest source ==
Grab a copy of ocs-server by cloning our public repository into the DocumentRoot of your server. Keep in mind the OCS protocol is made to work on the document root of this type: http://www.example.com or this: http://localhost. If you have other websites on the same server, we suggest you to put it in a subdomain like http://ocs.example.com.

Navigate to your DocumentRoot:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
cd /var/www/html
</syntaxhighlight>

Clone ocs-server git repository:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
sudo git clone git://anongit.kde.org/ocs-server.git
</syntaxhighlight>

Copy everything to your server root:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
sudo cp -r ocs-server/. .
</syntaxhighlight>

Remove your duplicate ocs-server folder:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/ocs-server
</syntaxhighlight>

And restart again your web server, just to be sure:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
sudo service apache2 restart
</syntaxhighlight>

== Final result ==
Ocs-server should be installed and working. Check the homepage, usually [http://localhost/ http://localhost/] or your domain of choice. In the homepage there are several useful links for both end-users and developers. You are ready to follow the [[Ocs-server/Install/First run wizard| First run wizard]] tutorial.
