Uptime

1. You must have AOLserver, Postgres, and nspostgres modules installed.
   • AOLserver.
   • AOLserver downloads.
   • AOLserver4 Beta 8.
   • Postgres Driver for AOLserver 4
   • AOLserver 3 downloads (includes Postgres driver) from the OpenACS group.
   • PostgreSQL.

   You can find AOLserver installation documentation from AOLserver or OpenACS.

2. Grab the uptime distribution http://uptime.openacs.org/uptime/docs/

3. Decieded where you want to install the software, I use /web, create the directory and extract the tar ball.

   # mkdir /web (as root)
   # chown nsadmin:web /web
   # chmod 700 /web
   # su - nsadmin
   nsadmin@uptime: cd /tmp
   nsadmin@uptime: wget http://uptime.openacs.org/uptime/doc/uptime-pg-current.tar.gz
   nsadmin@uptime: cd /web
   nsadmin@uptime: gzip -dc /tmp/uptime-pg-current.tar.gz| tar xvf -
   

4. Edit the following files:
   • /web/uptime/etc/uptime.tcl
   • /web/uptime/tcl/backup.tcl
   • /web/uptime/tcl/uptime-defs.tcl

5. Create the postgres database

   # su - postgres
   postgres@uptime: createuser nsadmin (answer yes to both questions)
   postgres@uptime: exit
   # su - nsadmin
   nsadmin@uptime: createdb uptime
   nsadmin@uptime: psql -f /web/uptime/www/uptime/doc/sql/postgres.sql uptime
   nsadmin@uptime: psql -f /web/uptime/www/uptime/doc/sql/data-model.sql uptime
   

Included are some crontab entries uptime.crontab. You may choose to use them if you want.
