Installing Insurge

For the purposes of running SOPAC, you will be concerned only with the Insurge client component.

This installation guide covers a stand-alone installation of Insurge. Future documentation will describe the process involved in participating with a central social repository. In this context, installation of Insurge is very simple.

First, you must install the Insurge database schema:

mysql -u root -p < /usr/local/lib/insurge/sql/scas_insurge.sql

If you did not name your database 'scas', you will need to edit the schema file to reflect that.

If the schema was successfully imported, then you can move on to configuring Insurge. Insurge's configuration options are located in its INI file: /usr/local/lib/insurge/config/insurge.ini.

Because we are setting up a stand-alone (non-repository) Insurge site, you only need to set the dsn_file parameter. It should look something like:

dsn_file = "/usr/local/etc/scas_dsn.php"
