How do I create the database?
You have to create the database using the the project_db.sql file in the epi direcory
If your MySQL database is 4.0 or less, you will need to use the file project_db4.sql
If you are Government agency and want to be to classify your users as "Government Employees",
"Contractors", "Foreign National", and "Others" use the file project_db_govt.sql
To create the database run the command
mysql -uroot -p < project_db.sql
or
mysql -ulogin_name -p < project_db.sql
(Use your real mysql login instead of
login_name)
What files are installed and where?
The application should be installed off the root directory of the webserver.
Usaully located in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs or
/var/www/html
cd Epiware_4.5
cp -r epi /usr/local/apache/htdocs
Epiware will then be located on you server at the location
www.mycompany.com/epi.
Epiware also relies on binaries to extract text and index the text from word and pdf documents.
They are located by default in the directory
/storage/binaries.
This can easily be changed by editing the file config.inc.php in the epi
directory and changing the following variable.
define("BINARY_LOCATION", "/storage/binaries");
Where are all of the uploaded documents stored?
By default all files are stored in the location
/storage/document_area.
This can easily be changed by editing the file
config.inc.php in the epi directory.
define("DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY","/storage/document_area");
define("CALENDAR_ATTACHMENT_DIRECTORY","/storage/attachments");
define("IMAGE_GALLERY_PATH","/storage/document_area");
define("ERROR_LOG_PATH", "/storage/document_area");
define("EPI_BANNER_DIRECTORY","/storage/document_area");

This can easily be changed by editing the file
config.inc.php in the epi directory.
