Installing OpenACS on FreeBSD (quick)

This quick-and-dirty guide is intended for more experienced (or very impatient) users.
More detailed instructions can be found here.

1. Installation requirements

FreeBSD (7.x, or 6.x) with updated ports tree
and NOT yet installed ports databases/postgresql82-server, www/openacs or www/openacs-dotlrn

2. Installing OpenACS

 Enter the following shell commands:

# cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql82-server
# make install clean
# cd /usr/ports/databases/p5-postgresql-plperl
# make install clean
# echo 'postgresql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

# cd /usr/ports/www/openacs
# make install clean
# echo 'openacs_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql initdb
# /usr/local/share/doc/openacs/adjust_pgsql_conf.sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start
# /usr/local/share/doc/openacs/create_sampledb.sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openacs start

Now open  in your browser http://localhost:8000 and fill in all neccesary data, finalize installation. The openacs server goes down afterwards.

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openacs start

That's all! You local OpenACS installation is accesible under http://localhost:8000

3. Installing .LRN 

 Enter the following shell commands:

# cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql82-server
# make install clean
# cd /usr/ports/databases/p5-postgresql-plperl
# make install clean
# echo 'postgresql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf.local

# cd /usr/ports/www/openacs-dotlrn
# make install clean
# echo 'dotlrn_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf.local

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql initdb
# /usr/local/share/doc/dotlrn/adjust_pgsql_conf.sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start
# /usr/local/share/doc/dotlrn/create_sampledb.sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dotlrn start

Now open  in your browser http://localhost:8000 and fill in all neccesary data, finalize installation. The .LRN server goes down afterwards.

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dotlrn start

That's all! You local .LRN installation is accesible under http://localhost:8000
