FastDeploy Install Guide
In this tutorial, we’ll cover how to install the automated operating system loader, FastDeploy.
To begin, you need a LAMP install. Once this is done, you need to install PEAR, which can be done by running the following command:
lynx -source http://pear.php.net/go-pear | php
After this is installed, install the necessary modules:
pear install HTML_QuickForm HTML_QuickForm_advmultiselect File_SearchReplace MDB2 MDB2_Driver_mysql
Now it is time to start installing FastDeploy. Let’s assume you are installing to /var/www/html.
Download this file, and extract its contents to /var/www/html. After this completes, it is time to create the database for FastDeploy.
For the sake of this tutorial, we will create a database named ‘fastdeploy’ with a user ‘fastdeploy’ and the password ‘pa55w0rd’.
mysqladmin -u root –password=chosenrootpassword create fastdeploy
mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,ALTER,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP ON fastdeploy.* TO ‘fastdeploy’@'localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘pa55w0rd’;
After this command runs, import the base SQL for fastdeploy:
mysql -u fastdeploy –password=password fastdeploy < /var/www/html/fastdeploy/scripts/sql/fastdeploy.mysql
Edit /var/www/html/fastdeploy/includes/config.php to reflect the proper information for your database, and the appropriate paths to the TFTPd installation on your system.
After its done, visit http://url/fastdeploy/install/ and run the installation.
You’re all set!
