SME Site Maker
This script is designed to help you when create a new web site under /opt directory. If you want to create a site under an ibay, do not use this script.
The main purpose is to automate the time consuming (and sometimes confusing) process of installing an application to the /opt directory. If you do not use SMESiteMaker you must create the dir, conf files, and DB configs manually from the command line. With SMESiteMaker, you only have to answer the questions in the wizard.
The script creates the basic environment for your site, such as directory, permissions, apache configuration, add, replace or leave databases and user, and restart the pertinent services. Of course you can edit the final config file (under /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/99SMESiteMaker_yourconfname) to add your own parameters, but generally default is ok.
If you make a mistake or want to revert the changes, first remove the directory you choose to locate your site under /opt. Then remove the file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/99SMESiteMaker_yourconfname. If you create a DB then remove DB and User if they are new and no longer needed.
Finally expand template and restart the service:
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart
Usage
First, download the last attachment from Bugzilla:2975 to any location in your SME.
Then untar the script. In this example I use v1.7:
tar xzvf SMESiteMaker_v1.7.tar.gz
Enter to SMESiteMaker dir.
cd SMESiteMaker
and finally execute the script
sh SMESiteMaker
or
./SMESiteMaker
The script gives you information and prompts for answers at each step.
If you improve or add new functions to the script, please update this wiki page and upload the new version at Bugzilla:2975.
