Testing Install

This tutorial gives the steps needed to install the SNAC server in a user's home directory, mainly provided for testing and development purposes. Eventually this install will be deprecated in favor of a PHP Composer auto-install.

Installing Locally

  1. Check out a copy of the repository in a local folder, git clone [email protected]:snac/snac.git

  2. Ensure that Apache's config allows user directories (/~userid) and is set to allow PUT requests (in the Require directive)

  3. Symbolic link the src/virtualhosts directory into your /home/userid/public_html directory. For example, this could be done with a command similar to the following:

     ln -s /home/userid/pathtosnac/src/virtualhosts /home/userid/public_html/snac

  4. Copy the src/snac/Config_dist.php file to src/snac/Config.php and update the INTERNAL_SERVERURL to correctly point to the local copy of the internal server codebase. For example,

     public static $INTERNAL_SERVERURL = "http://localhost/~userid/snac/internal/";

  5. Install PHP Composer and dependencies

    • Download and install Composer according to the instructions at http://getcomposer.org
    • Install global dependencies by running php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1"
    • Install snac dependences by running php composer.phar install

  6. That's it! If configured correctly, you can access your local snac server, where webserver.com is the URL of your server, at:

    • Backend server at http://webserver.com/~userid/snac/internal
    • Web server at http://webserver.com/~userid/snac/www
    • REST server at http://webserver.com/~userid/snac/rest
