DEPENDENCIES

• CentOS
• MySQL Server Version 5.1.71
• PHP Version 5.3.3
• Apache Version 2.2.15
• Memcached
• php-pecl-memcache (not php-pecl-memcached)

INSTALLATION

• Extract the contents of the WWW folder to a specified directory on the web host.
• Edit /func/config.php and enter the Database information (DB Name, Credentials, etc.).
• Point web browser to the site (check to make sure the index file loads).
• If the main page loads, then open [HOST]/restr/setup.php (from the browser) and enter the default login.
  • This will setup the database for use.
• Begin adding computers by pointing to /admin and loggin in from there.
  • Go to Computers -> Register and fill out the web registration form (for each computer).
  • Each Computer must have the client installed (which automatically registers it to run while logged in).
• The script must be updated to include the Server IP, Server Name, and the Directory

REMOVAL

• For client machines, run the uninstaller from the Add/Remove Programs
• For the server, drop the database and remove the files from the WWW directory.

NOTES

• I use phpMyAdmin for administration beyond what the web interface provides, however I DO NOT package this.
  • This is a separate download, even though there is a link to it in the Admin Console.
• In the demo, all are running on the same server (Linux, PHP, Apache, MySQL, memcached, php-pecl-memcache)
  • These functions can be disributed, but must be configured accordingly (memcached is great with this).
• I have recreated this on a virtual machine using the software noted above and have gotten this to work with basic configurations.
• The server configuration is completely up to the server admin, however the software above is necessary for this platform to run (Apache, MySQL, Memcache, etc.).
  • It is basically just a LAMP server with memcached.
