7. Uninstallation

You can download and execute installers for Windows XP, Vista, and 7, plus a DEB package and a console installer for Ubuntu, Debian, and its derivatives. A console installer for Mac OS X is also available. These installers will install and/or configure Apache and PHP for you. If you don't want that, follow the instructions below to install manually.

Before you start, uninstall Microsoft IIS, close Skype or any other software using port 80.

Install Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3 using a Windows installer like WAMPServer or ZendServer.

Edit Apache configuration file (httpd.conf). Append this at the end using Notepad:

Alias /librarian "C:\I, Librarian"
<Directory "C:\I, Librarian">
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        php_value upload_max_filesize 200M
        php_value post_max_size 800M
        php_value max_input_time 120
    </IfModule>
</Directory>
<Directory "C:\I, Librarian\library">
    IndexIgnore *
    AddType text/plain .html .htm .shtml .php
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        php_admin_flag engine off
    </IfModule>
    <FilesMatch "\.(sq3|pdf)$">
        Order allow,deny
    </FilesMatch>
</Directory>

You may change "C:\I, Librarian" to any directory where you want to have I, Librarian, including an external drive. For a groupware use, you need to allow access to more IP numbers or domain names. Just add more Allow from directives (Allow from mydomain.net).

Restart either Apache server or the computer.

Unzip I, Librarian files into the directory defined by Alias in httpd.conf.

Linux users, if you did not use the DEB package, make sure you have installed these packages from repositories:

• apache2 (may also be named httpd)
  • a web server (you may run I, Librarian with a different web server)
• php5 (may also be called php)
  • I, Librarian is written in PHP5
• php5-sqlite (may also be named php-pdo)
  • SQLite database for PHP5
• php5-gd (may also be named php-gd) -GD library for PHP5
• poppler-utils -required for PDF indexing and for the built-in PDF viewer
• bibutils
  • required for import/export from bibtex format
• ghostscript
  • required for the built-in PDF viewer
• pdftk
  • required for PDF bookmarks, attachments and watermarking

If you are installing from the tar.gz, login as root or use sudo, and extract files into "librarian" directory in your web sever root directory. Example:

tar zxf I,-Librarian-*.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/librarian

Alternatively, extract the package into

/usr/share/i-librarian/www

and create Alias in your Apache httpd.conf:

Alias /librarian /usr/share/i-librarian/www

Change the owner of the library subfolder to Apache. Example:

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/librarian/library
chown root:root /var/www/html/librarian/library/.htaccess

Insert a safe setting like this example into your Apache configuration file:

<Directory "/var/www/html/librarian">
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        php_value upload_max_filesize 200M
        php_value post_max_size 800M
        php_value max_input_time 120
    </IfModule>
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/html/librarian/library">
    IndexIgnore *
    AddType text/plain .html .htm .shtml .php
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        php_admin_flag engine off
    </IfModule>
    <FilesMatch "\.(sq3|pdf)$">
        Order allow,deny
    </FilesMatch>
</Directory>

To enable access from the Network, you need to allow access to more IP numbers or domain names. Just add more Allow from directives (Allow from mydomain.net).

Restart Apache or the computer.

Download and install Zend Server CE.

Edit Zend Server httpd.conf using TextEdit. Open X11 terminal and write:

sudo chown -R yourusername /usr/local/zend/apache2/conf
open -a TextEdit /usr/local/zend/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

Scroll to the bottom of the file and paste this at the very end:

Alias /librarian /Users/yourusername/Sites/librarian
<Directory /Users/Yourusername/Sites/librarian>
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
<Directory /Users/Yourusername/Sites/librarian/library>
IndexIgnore *
AddType text/plain .html .htm .shtml .php
<FilesMatch "\.(sq3|pdf)$">
Order allow,deny
</FilesMatch>
</Directory>

Don't forget to change "yourusername" to your actual user name. You can find out your user name by typing whoami in Terminal.

Save the httpd.conf file and change the conf owner back to root:

sudo chown -R root /usr/local/zend/apache2/conf

Restart Zend Server Apache. Write in Terminal:

sudo /usr/local/zend/apache2/bin/apachectl restart

Start Zend Server from the Applications menu. Your web browser will open. Follow the instructions to finalize the Zend Server installation.

In Zend Server Tasks menu, click "Change PHP directive Values", and change two PHP settings:

upload_max_filesize to 400M
post_max_size to 800M

In the bottom right corner click Restart PHP. This will allow recording large PDF files.

Download and install Pdftk.

Download I, Librarian for Mac OS X and double-click the file to extract its contents.

Rename the extracted directory to "librarian" and move it to your Sites folder. Make sure that your Sites folder is accessible to Others. Use the Get Info dialog of the Sites directory to change permissions for Everyone to access and read. You also need to make sure Everyone has Execute permissions for your home directory.

Change the owner of the "library" subfolder to Zend Server Apache. Open X11 terminal and write:

sudo chown -R daemon:daemon /Users/yourusername/Sites/librarian/library

Open your web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:10088/librarian.

In order to start I, Librarian, open your web browser, and visit:

http://127.0.0.1/librarian

Replace 127.0.0.1 with your static IP, or qualified server domain name, if you have either one.

Create an account and head to Tools->Installation Details to check if everything checks fine.

You should also check Tools->Settings to run I, Librarian the way you want.

Thank you for installing I, Librarian.

If you used the DEB package, execute the uninstall.sh uninstaller.

Otherwise uninstall all programs that you installed solely to use I, Librarian. These may include Apache and PHP.

Delete I, Librarian directory.
