Installation

Dependencies

OpenPSA requires a working installation of the Midgard Framework.

There are two ways to install Midgard:

Install from distribution packages on platforms like Fedora, SuSE or Debian GNU/Linux
Download and install the source version

Installing OpenPSA

Once you have your Midgard system up and running, you are ready to install OpenPSA. OpenPSA is distributed as a Repligard package. The package needs to be installed to the root sitegroup (SG0) of a Midgard server.

Installing for Midgard 1.6.x or newer

Follow the Midgard package installation instructions.

Installing for Midgard 1.5.x

On most systems, this should be accomplished by running

# tar jxvf openpsa-1.9.0.tar.bz2  
# cd openpsa-1.9.0  
# repligard -a -i openpsa.xml.gz

If the above command fails, please consult Repligard usage documentation and check your Repligard configuration files.

Post-installation

After OpenPSA has been installed to your system it needs to be initialized using the OpenPSA Manager tool at
http://localhost/openpsa_manager/

If you are not accessing the server from console, you can move the OpenPSA Manager to another host by renaming the host in the Midgard database and modifying your midgard-data.conf accordingly. On Midgard 1.6.x or newer you can do this using the datagard tool.
