Setup Procedure

• Install packages
• apache - debian package
  • configs in /etc/apache2
  • various files in /var/apache
• mod_auth_kerb (cclub) - installed but not really used on contrib-cgi
• pubcookie debs (cclub)
  • /var/pubcookie
• suexec

  • right now, divert debian suexec & copy in our own patched version from apache collections

    • dpkg-divert --divert /usr/lib/apache2/suexec.apache --rename /usr/lib/apache2/suexec
  • could make this into a deb someday
  • requires cgi_limits.db in apache config directory

    • recompile update_cgi_limits & dump_cgi_limits in andrew-contrib-internal

    • rebuild from cgi_limits.conf using update_cgi_limits if dump_cgi_limits fails to read the db (eg architecture/version change)
• multilog for apache
  • symlink /var/apache/logs/apache* to /var/service
  • mess with djbdaemon foo as necessary
• cwscript collection
  • put cron/contrib_{user,cgi_user}_update.sh in cron
• add mycontrib to /etc/passwd.system
• binfmt
  • /var/lib/binfmts
• php
  • dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/php4-cli --rename /usr/bin/php4
  • dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/php5-cli --rename /usr/bin/php5
  • cd /usr/bin
  • ln -s php4-cgi php4
  • ln -s php5-cgi php5
