Install Seon on SLES11

Assumptions

• Your installation directory for Seon is

/opt/seon

• The web interfaces will be installed in the default document root directory of Apache:

/srv/www/htdocs

• The user running the installation is not "root", but "seon" with limited permissions
• Firewalls and other security measurements are disabled or not installed. (If they are enabled, you have to change them on your own).

Add repository

zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/SLE_11/ PHP_SLE11

Install requried packages

Install all needed software (based on a minimal installation, many of these packages may already be installed):

zypper install apache2-mod_php5 php-bz2 php-mysql php-xmlreader php-xsl php-zip php-zlib \
php5-sockets php5-posix mysql vim iputils zip samba-winbind yast2-kerberos-client glibc-locale glibc-i18ndata libxslt

After having added the new repository (see above), you will have to accept its key permanently (with selection "a"):
