The Majority of installation and configuration for Apache is performed by ~/Nextcloud/Support/IT/initapache_v47.sh script. In the following commands, anything in CAPS must be replaced with corresponding value.
1. If installing client on NEOSYS server (win3) skip to step 9. (to add client site to D:\Apache24\conf\neosys2.conf)
2. Copy the installation script to the server's D drive. (Not necessary if on win3, unless re-installation of Apache required)
scp -P <SSHPORTNO> ~/Nextcloud/support/IT/initapache_v<LATESTVERSIONNO>.sh administrator@<HOSTNAME>.hosts.neosys.com:/cygdrive/d/
3. Open Cygwin as administrator on server. (Shift + Right click)
4. Convert the script into Windows format. (Otherwise script execution will contain syntax errors "\r", due to the different characters use by Linux and windows for new lines)
d2u D:/initapache_v47.sh
5. Execute script.
./initapache_v47.sh <CLIENTHOSTNAME>"
6. The script will proceed to do a number of verifications on system. If all test are okay, enter 'Y' to start installation as prompted to do so.
Verify OK to proceed -------------------- Port: 443 Dir: D:/neosys/neosys.net Root: /d ------------------------------------- OK to start? (Y=Yes)
7. A Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 installation window will popup, follow the steps to install. (If already installed like on win3, hit cancel)
8. Then you will be prompted to install the certificates from nl19/bkup. Follow the instructions to edit /distributecerts.sh. (This script simply copies latest LetsEncrypt certificate into D:/Apache24)
9. After the script has finished, create a Windows scheduled task to restart Apache hourly to load any newly renewed HTTPS certificates.
Action: D:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -k restart
10. If the client is on win3, add the new client site to D:\Apache24\conf\neosys2.conf using existing clients as an example. (Make sure to arrange in alphabetical order)
11. Test if you can access NEOSYS login.
- If on client hosted server use: http://localhost
- If on win3 use https://<CLIENTHOSTNAME>.hosts.neosys.com
12. In the new client's NEOSYS/DATA folder, create a text file, enter '720' and save as 'DATA.CFG'.
For any issues check the initapache.sh script and neosys.conf file for solutions.
