Install the Web Interface Advanced¶

Manual configuration instructions (Advanced User)¶

Note: You may skip this section if you configured your installation with the setup wizard at http://localhost/myamiweb/setup.

Copy config.php.template to config.php and edit the latter by adding these parameters:
"config.php" should be located in /var/www/html/myamiweb/ on CentOS and /srv/www/htdocs/myamiweb/ on SuSE.

1. define site base path
   This should be changed if the myamiweb directory is located
   in a sub-directory of the Apache web directory.
   ex. myamiweb is in /var/www/html/applications/myamiweb/ then
   change to define('BASE_PATH',"applications/myamiweb");
    
   

   define('BASE_PATH',"myamiweb"); 
   

   
    
2. myamiweb login system
   

   // Browse to the administration tools in myamiweb prior to 
   // changing this to true to populate DB tables correctly.
   define('ENABLE_LOGIN', false);    
   

   
    
3. Administrator email title and email address
   

   define('EMAIL_TITLE', 'The name of your institute');
   define('ADMIN_EMAIL', "example@institute.edu");
   

   
    
4. SMTP Server setup (not required but recommended):
   

   define('ENABLE_SMTP', false);
   define('SMTP_HOST', 'mail.institute.edu');    //your smtp host
   

   
    
   1. When SMTP server requires authentication
      

      // --- Check this with your email administrator -- //
      // --- Set it to true if your SMTP server requires authentication -- //
      define('SMTP_AUTH', false);
      
      // --- If SMTP_AUTH is not required(SMTP_AUTH set to false, -- //
      // --- no need to fill in 'SMTP_USERNAME' & SMTP_PASSWORD -- //
      define('SMTP_USERNAME', "");
      define('SMTP_PASSWORD', "");
      

      
       
5. Setup your MySQL database server parameters:
   

   define('DB_HOST', "");        // DB Host name
   define('DB_USER', "");        // DB User name
   define('DB_PASS', "");        // DB Password
   define('DB_LEGINON', "");    // Leginon database name
   define('DB_PROJECT', "");    // Project database name
   

   
    
6. Enable Image Cache
   If you want to use caching function for faster image loading time in image viewer, change 'ENABLE_CACHE' to true.
   You can change the 'CACHE_PATH' to other location, but make sure the apache user has write access to this folder.
   

   // --- Enable Image Cache --- //
   define('ENABLE_CACHE', true);
   // --- caching location --- //
   // --- please make sure the apache user has write access to this folder --- //
   define('CACHE_PATH', '/srv/www/cache/');
   define('CACHE_SCRIPT', WEB_ROOT.'/makejpg.php');
