Hi people: I add a first beta (IT DOESN'T WORK), to evaluate new installer. In brief: - install process via web is similar to like wordpress, joomla, and drupal installation, ideal for hosting installation where you have only ftp access. - Installer is a aiki independent apps. It's must called as aiki/assets/installer/installer.php. It's not required Aiki runing. - installer first check if no previous config.php file exists (security reason) and if necessary files exists (sql, config template, htaccess.ing) - process have 4 step: 1) ask for setting. In this step, user can test connection. 2) create database, and insert sql. 3) create config.php. If can't, aiki display the file-dump, and some button for retry. 4) create htaccess.php
Step 3 and 4 are created because sometimes user must copy-paste the file. WHY IT DOESN'T WORK --------------------------------------- 1) aiki bootstrap detect RUN-TIME installation. (see line 64 bootstrap.php) -> solution: Web and run-time installation must detect the same file: config.php 2) run-time insert some variables that are not available in web installation: *VERSION. REVISION, AUTHORS* * AIKI_LOG_DIR, AIKI_LOG_FILE,AIKI_LOG_PROFILE, AIKI_LOG_LEVEL; Solution: for log: a installer must assumed there are not log configuration, or use a default log configuration. for version, revision and authors -> create a separated file (for example /configs/aiki_data.txt) 3) Aike needs a run-time installation to: - move certain files ( third-party libraries) - insert same values in files (configs/config.php) and i think some javascript too. Solution: - move all files to src directory. - no runtime-insertions. Gains? - a complete web based installer: a webmaster only need copy src directory to make a installation (similar to wordpress, joomla, drupal...etc) - easy to maintain: we only need zipped all src files..and voila..a aiki web package. - easy to develop: old installer? - will do his work: Copy files in adequate directory ( /usr/share/aiki), must create apache2/site-enables/aiki file, desktop links.. - doesn't need create the database. So it can work automatically like 99% of debian packages. 4) TODO are we agree with new installation? other: - use ezSQL (i'm working on it) roger PD: how must i generate Makefile.in
