Standard Method

This section describes the standard method of installing the Tungsten Dashboard when using a Linux server with Apache 2, PHP and optionally HAProxy installed locally.

important

Please change the example values below to match your specific environment.

For example, create a new user called tungsten, group tungsten, homedir /home/tungsten:

shell> sudo useradd -m -d /home/tungsten -s /bin/bash -c "Tungsten Dashboard" -U tungsten

Note: Later on you will need to add the apache user to the tungsten group and restart apache.

Now create the Tungsten Dashboard web root directory and all needed subdirectories:

shell> sudo mkdir /volumes/data/www/tungsten
shell> sudo chown -R tungsten: /volumes/data/www/tungsten

shell> sudo su - tungsten
shell> cd /volumes/data/www/tungsten
shell> mkdir etc logs
shell> chmod 2775 logs
shell> chmod 2755 etc

Still as user tungsten, download the software using the temporary URL provided by Continuent, or login to the web download portal to obtain the software ("https://www.continuent.com/downloads"), then copy to the web root directory for use in the next step:

shell> cd
shell> wget -O tungsten-dashboard-1.0.17-1.tar.gz 'TEMP_URL_PROVIDED_BY_CONTINUENT'
shell> tar xvzf tungsten-dashboard-1.0.17-1.tar.gz
shell> cd ttungsten-dashboard-1.0.17-1
shell> rsync -a html/ /volumes/data/www/tungsten/html/
shell> chmod 2775 /volumes/data/www/tungsten/html

If not present, create the html/locks directory and set the permissions:

shell> mkdir /volumes/data/www/tungsten/html/locks
shell> chmod 2775 /volumes/data/www/tungsten/html/locks
